Concrete Contractors in Flint Township, MI

Flint Township wraps around the southwest side of the City of Flint in an L-shape, and the I-69 and I-75 interchange splits it in two. Concrete contractors working here see mostly homes from the township's big growth years. The population went from 19,178 in 1960 to 31,175 in 1970 and 35,405 in 1980, then eased to 31,447 by 2020. Driveways, walks and patios poured in the 1960s and 1970s make up a large share of the jobs, and many of them have now been through more than 50 winters.

Ranch homes and 1970s subdivisions

The typical Flint Township house we work on is a ranch or split-level with a two-car drive, a short front walk, a stoop at the door and a patio or slab out back. The most common calls are for driveway replacement, a garage floor that has cracked and dropped at the door, and front steps that have pulled away from the house. We also replace patios that have tipped toward the foundation, which usually means the fill around the basement settled after the house was built.

Shopping center, airport and highways

The Genesee Valley Center opened in August 1970 at Miller and Linden roads, and Bishop International Airport sits next to the township, partly inside it. I-75, I-69 and US 23 all meet near the airport. That makes the township easy to reach for concrete trucks, which helps on larger pours, but it also means some neighborhoods sit close to busy roads where road salt is spread heavily every winter. Salt spray and tracked-in brine are hard on driveway surfaces. A sealer every few years and air-entrained concrete go a long way.

Driveways that meet a county road

The township's building department points residents to the Genesee County Road Commission for driveway and culvert work. Many township streets are county roads, so a new drive approach or a culvert under it may need the road commission's sign-off, while the township handles its own building permits and inspections. We sort out which office applies to your lot before we schedule, because an approach poured without the right approval can be ordered out.

Old settlements under today's streets

The township was settled in 1835 and organized on March 2, 1836, with early settlements such as Torrey, Stanard and Cronk. Otterburn was lost to Swartz Creek when that city incorporated in 1959. Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools serve most of the township, with portions in the Swartz Creek and Flushing districts. Whatever part of the township you live in, we can quote driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, garage and shed slabs, and repair of sunken or broken sections.
