Concrete Company in Durham: Contractors For Commercial + Select Residential Projects
Most of our concrete projects involve existing buildings, uneven ground, awkward access, or a tight schedule set forth by the developer. At J. Coble Construction, we provide site concrete services for commercial properties and select residential projects where timing and quality have to be exactly on point. We handle layout, preparation, forming, and finishing as one continuous scope, which keeps the work moving without finger-pointing between crews. If you’re planning concrete work and want to talk it through with someone who will actually be on site, call 336-539-0428 and schedule a consultation.

Local Builders And Property Owners Always Call J. Coble
We all enjoy the local mix of older infrastructure, redeveloped sites, and properties that have been altered more than once over the years. But that history must be accounted for in concrete work. Slabs are almost never square, grades have inconsistencies, and drainage paths tend to have a mind of their own. We approach concrete with a sitework mindset, which means we spend time understanding what’s already there before deciding how new concrete should be placed.
Jason stays involved from the first walkthrough through completion, and that matters more than people realize. When questions come up about elevation, tie-ins, or sequencing, decisions get made quickly instead of being pushed down the road. We also rely on modern layout tools to control grades and alignment (laser levels and GPS-guided equipment are especially helpful when tying into older concrete). That preparation shows up in the finished surface, even if most people never think about why it feels right.

Commercial Concrete Work
Commercial concrete work includes offices, medical facilities, mixed-use developments, service yards, and light industrial sites. We pour and replace slabs, pads, curbs, aprons, and sidewalks that support daily use rather than just looking good on day one. Many projects involve correcting earlier work that failed because of poor base preparation or bad elevations. We plan pours around access, deliveries, and other trades so the site stays functional while work is underway.
Residential Concrete Work
We take on select residential concrete projects in Durham when the scope fits our equipment and the site requires careful prep. Homeowners contact us for patios, garage slabs, walkway replacements, and additions where new concrete needs to work with existing grades. We pay close attention to how the pour meets the house and how water moves across the property. When small grading adjustments make sense, we address them as part of the plan instead of leaving them as an afterthought.
Our Capabilities
What Concrete Work Do You Need Help With?
Structural Footings
Footings are easy to overlook because they disappear once construction moves forward. We excavate to plan depth, set forms cleanly, and place reinforcement accurately so footings are ready for inspection and make the next phase easier for the crews that follow.
Slabs On Grade
Slabs support garages, interior commercial spaces, storage areas, and equipment rooms. We start by understanding how the slab will be used, then build the base and reinforcement plan around that use. Treating every slab the same is how problems start.
Sidewalks And Walkways
Sidewalks and walkways in Durham often need to connect buildings, parking areas, and entrances that were never aligned well to begin with. We pour pedestrian surfaces with smooth transitions and slopes that move water instead of trapping it.
Curb And Gutter
Curbs guide surface water, protect pavement edges, and influence traffic flow. We install curb and gutter work for parking areas, drives, and service zones with attention to line, elevation, and drainage tie-ins.
Pads And Specialty Concrete
Generator pads, dumpster pads, HVAC pads, and other site-specific pours require more planning than a standard slab. We account for load requirements, drainage needs, and anchor placement (especially on commercial sites where tolerances matter).
Aprons And Transitions
Drive entrances, loading docks, and service bays take constant abuse from vehicles. We pour aprons that reduce edge breakdown and create smoother transitions between surfaces.
Concrete Removal and Replacement
Replacement work is common around older buildings. We sawcut clean edges, remove failed concrete, rebuild the base, and pour new sections that match surrounding elevations so repairs blend naturally with the site.

Site Prep and Concrete Go Hand in Hand
Concrete performance depends heavily on what happens before the pour. Base preparation, compaction, grading adjustments, and drainage all influence how a finished surface behaves over time. We look at those elements early so concrete becomes part of the overall site plan instead of a standalone task.
Because we also handle grading, drainage, and excavation work, we can address issues directly rather than working around them. That coordination keeps details from slipping through the cracks and helps concrete perform the way it should long after the site is back in use.

FAQs Regarding Our Concrete Services In Durham
We handle commercial concrete projects and select residential work. Common scopes include slabs, footings, sidewalks, curbs, pads, aprons, and concrete replacement where proper preparation matters.
Yes. We manage layout, excavation as needed, base preparation, compaction, forming, and reinforcement placement to keep elevations and transitions consistent.
Often, yes. We replace targeted sections when surrounding concrete is still in good shape. If a larger replacement makes more sense, we explain why.
We plan slopes and elevations before forms go up, then verify grades during setup. In many cases, small adjustments to nearby grades help guide runoff.
Yes. We coordinate with other trades, communicate clearly about sequencing, and flag site issues early.
We take select residential projects such as patios, walkways, garage slabs, additions, and replacement pours that require careful tie-ins.
We use modern layout tools, including laser levels and GPS-guided equipment, to maintain accurate elevations and alignment.
Timelines depend on scope, access, weather, and curing requirements. We outline expectations after reviewing the site.
Yes. Many Durham projects benefit from addressing drainage or grading at the same time as concrete work.
Scheduling varies, but we aim to visit promptly once we understand the scope and can provide clear next steps.
