Skip the second sub
You get the excavation and the concrete from one crew. No sub to line up, no finger-pointing over the hole. Count on a six-bag mix, compacted stone, mesh and rebar, and walls damp-proofed right. Built to last.

Hi, I'm John
I know what a bad concrete sub costs you.
It’s not the day of the pour. It’s the year after.
It’s the backfill that settles. The wall that leaks. The drainage problem that shouldn’t exist. The neighbor who’s still frustrated. The homeowner who calls you long after my work is complete.
That’s why I’ve never treated concrete like just another trade.
My father taught me flatwork before I could drive, and foundations soon after. Since 1989, I’ve been the first crew on countless room additions throughout DuPage County.
We dig it ourselves. We pour it ourselves. We use quality materials, proven methods, and we never leave your project in someone else’s hands.
Because when the concrete is done right, you shouldn’t have to think about it again.
That’s my job.
John
What to expect
Working with Abel
Three things you can count on, so concrete is the part you stop thinking about.
Get clean flatwork, too
Stop settling for ugly flatwork. Most foundation crews never learned to finish it. John learned flatwork from his dad first, then foundations, so your footings hold and your stoops, walks, and patios come out clean.
Keep your schedule
Once your addition starts, the crew stays on it until it is done. Reach John anytime it is running, and your framing starts on schedule with a short punch list.
One driveway, two neighbors
Before the first truck rolls
The Good-Neighbor Start Guarantee
We square things away before we start.
Construction is disruptive. Early mornings, equipment, trucks, noise. It all lands on the people next door first.
So before any work begins, John walks over and meets the neighbors. He introduces himself, explains the project, answers their questions, and tells them exactly what to expect.
A little communication goes a long way. Trust gets set on day one, concerns get handled early, and most problems get solved before they ever become problems.
That keeps the whole job running smoothly for everyone on it. The builder, the homeowner, and every sub who follows us onto the site.
What is actually on the line
The concrete guy decides how the whole addition feels.
With the wrong guy
- × Twenty trips to the site to find no one there
- × Backfill that sinks and walls that leak by spring
- × Angry neighbors before you have framed
- × A homeowner who blames you instead of referring you

- ✓ One crew that shows up the day we say
