One crew, dig and pour
Our own excavation and our own concrete. No second sub to schedule, no blaming the other guy when something is off. One company owns the result.

The short version
Flatwork first. Foundations after. Both done right.
My father taught me flatwork before I could drive, and foundations soon after. That order matters. Most foundation crews never learn to finish concrete clean, so their flatwork looks it. I learned the finish first, then the structure, so you get both from one crew.
Since 1989 I have been the first trade on countless room additions across DuPage County. We do our own excavating and our own concrete, we use a six-bag mix, and we never hand your project off to somebody else.
When the concrete is done right, nobody has to think about it again. That has always been the whole point.

What we stand on
How Abel works.

Six-bag mix, every time
We never drop to a weaker mix to shave a few dollars. Compacted stone, mesh and rebar, walls damp-proofed right. Built to last.

The Good-Neighbor Start
John meets the neighbors before the equipment rolls. Trust set on day one keeps the whole job running smoothly for everyone on it.
Concrete is not glamorous work. It is the part of the addition that has to be right so everything on top of it can be.
Abel Concrete is built around builders. The room-addition builder does not want another trade to manage. What that builder wants is a concrete guy who shows up when he says, does the excavation and the pour with one crew, handles the neighbors, and stays on the job until the framing can start. That is the whole job description here, and it has not changed since 1989.
The result is simple. The foundation is square, the flatwork is clean, the homeowner is happy, and the builder gets the next job referred to him. When it goes that way, the concrete is the part nobody remembers having to worry about. That is the job done right.
Put John on your next addition.
