Why people in Anchorage call us for concrete
A concrete crew should tell you what they'd build and why before you decide, then show up and do it that way. Here's how we work, and there's more about us.
A straight answer on the first visit
I come out to every job myself, write the estimate and work the pour with my crew. You hear what we'd build and why from someone who'll actually be there.
Pour dates planned around cold
Anchorage cold is part of the job, so we plan how the fresh concrete gets protected before we set a pour date. We don't wait for the forecast to turn and scramble.
Small crew, quick go-ahead
We're small enough to make decisions fast. Once you say go, we line up the paperwork and the pour without a lot of back and forth, so call (907) 206-3358 when you're ready.
Pouring concrete for Anchorage homes and businesses
Anchorage runs from walkable downtown, where the Anchorage Museum brings together art, science, history and culture of the North, out to Kincaid Park at the west end of Raspberry Road, whose trails get used for skiing, biking, hiking and running in every season. People here are outside year-round, and the driveways, walks and steps that get them out the door work just as hard.
On jobs around town we see settled driveways, walks pushed out of line, steps chipping at the edges and garage slabs cracked through, usually from base work that wasn't done right with long winters on top of it. We're based in Anchorage and work across the city and the cities around it, so if you're not sure we come out your way, just ask.
Concrete services for homes and businesses in Anchorage, AK
Monolith Anchorage Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Anchorage, in business since 2013, and our 16 services cover new slabs, foundations and repairs. Most calls start with a slab that's cracked, sinking or pooling water, or a new one that has to last. Price moves with size and thickness, how much digging and base work the ground needs, whether old concrete comes out first, and any finish past a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives feet and tires grip. The schedule turns on permits, the weather and curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength before you use it. I go over both on site, and your estimate comes in writing.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways from the ground up, digging out and packing the base before we form and pour the slab.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place to sit outside? We pour concrete patios off the back door, sloped so rain runs away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete presses a pattern into the fresh surface, so a patio or walk can look like stone, brick or slate.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build concrete sidewalks and front walks with joints cut where cracks should go, so the surface stays even to walk on.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floor slabs that carry vehicles, tools and storage, poured for new garages or to replace a floor that's cracked through.
Decorative concrete
What counts as decorative concrete? Color, exposed stone and custom finishes that make a patio, walk or entry suit your house.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope, with footings below and drainage behind so water doesn't push on them.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for basements, shops and commercial spaces, finished smooth or left ready for the flooring going on top.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks need grip when they're wet, so we pour them with a textured finish and a slope that drains away from the water.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps chipping or pulling away from the house? We pour new concrete steps with even rises so they're steady underfoot.
Slab foundation building
We pour slab foundations for homes, additions and outbuildings, with the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, dug out and packed first.
Foundation installation
We form and pour foundation walls and footings for new houses and additions, planned for the cold ground they'll sit in.
Concrete parking lot building
For businesses and property owners, we build concrete parking lots made for daily traffic and sloped so water drains off.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads that carry a deck, addition or wall, and we dig and pour them to the depth the job calls for.
Foundation raising
Is a corner of your house or slab sinking? Foundation raising lifts it back toward level and gives it support underneath.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway, a trench or a section of slab taken out? We saw-cut concrete cleanly so the rest stays intact.

Concrete questions we hear most
These are the questions people in Anchorage ask before a pour. If yours isn't here, call (907) 206-3358 and ask about your own job.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Anchorage?
It depends on the size, the thickness and how much base work your ground needs, so I give you a real number at a free on-site estimate. Tearing out old concrete raises it, and so does a stamped or colored finish, while a plain broom finish keeps it down. Rebar, the steel set inside to hold a slab together, adds cost too, and I'll tell you where it's worth it.
Why do concrete quotes in Anchorage vary so much?
Quotes usually differ in what's included, and the base under the slab is the first thing a low bid cuts. Nobody sees the base on pour day, but a slab on raked dirt settles with that dirt, so we dig it out and pack it properly. Our written estimate spells out what's in and what isn't, so you're comparing real numbers.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Anchorage?
That depends on the mix and the weather, and I'll tell you the wait for your job before we pour. Curing is the time fresh concrete needs to gain strength, and it goes slower in the cold, so you'll be walking on it well before you're driving on it.
Do concrete contractors in Alaska need a license?
Yes, a contractor needs a certificate of registration from the state Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development before bidding or working, along with an Alaska Business License. We're fully licensed and insured, and it's fair to ask any contractor you're comparing to show you theirs.
What happens after I ask for a concrete estimate?
We reply within one business day, then I come out, look at the job in person and give you a free written estimate. If your job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the Municipality of Anchorage where we're able to and tell you plainly if any part has to come from you or someone else.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. I work the pour alongside my crew, so I'm there when the base goes in and the surface gets finished, not just when the bill does.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
Concrete can still crack, but most bad cracking comes from a weak base, water running the wrong way or joints cut late, and those are things we control. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that tell the slab where to crack, while the concrete is still fresh, and we set the slope so water runs away from the house instead of under it.
Does earthquake ground risk in Anchorage matter for a new foundation?
It can, and the Municipality's ground failure maps are a good first look at your area. They rate how likely land sliding, surface cracking and liquefaction, when shaken soil acts like a liquid, are on a scale of one to five. They're planning maps, though, and not a substitute for an engineer.
