Concrete Work in Goodrich

Goodrich is a village in Atlas Township in southeast Genesee County, and concrete contractors working here mostly see newer homes. The village was incorporated in 1957 and had just 916 residents in 1990. It grew to 1,353 in 2000, 1,860 in 2010 and 2,022 in 2020, more than doubling in 30 years. The 2020 census counted 742 housing units, with only 3.2 percent vacant. That means a lot of driveways, patios and walks from the 1990s and 2000s, now reaching the age when the first round of repairs and replacements comes due.

Newer homes, first replacements

Concrete poured 20 to 30 years ago usually fails in a few predictable ways: a cracked apron where the drive meets the street, scaling where salt sat on the surface, a garage floor crack that has opened up, and a back patio that has settled toward the house as the fill around the foundation compressed. The good news on newer slabs is that the base is often still sound, so a section replacement can sometimes do the job. We check panel movement and the base before we recommend repair or full replacement.

Higher ground in the southeast

Goodrich sits at about 873 feet, more than 100 feet higher than Flint, and about 3 percent of the village's area is water. Higher ground often drains better, and where a lot has a sloped drive or walk we use careful forming, place joints to control cracking, and give the surface a rougher broom finish for winter traction. Where the ground is low near water, we build a deeper base.

A village with early roots

John Goodrich bought 1,000 acres here in 1835, and his family arrived on May 20, 1836. The first wood-frame house was built for him in 1838, and the Goodrich House tavern, built in 1866, burned in 2009 and was later torn down. The few older homes near the village center have concrete from many different decades, often patched more than once, while most of the newer streets have a single original pour.

Permits and roads

Work inside the village goes through the Village of Goodrich, and addresses outside it fall under Atlas Township. Approaches on county roads, like Hegel Road, go through the Genesee County Road Commission. We confirm what applies before we schedule. Our Goodrich work covers driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, garage and shed slabs, and concrete repair. Call (810) 428-0447 to book a visit.

Goodrich Questions

My 2000s driveway is already cracking. Does it need full replacement?

Not always. If the base is sound and the panels are level, replacing the worst sections can work. If panels are moving or the surface is scaling all over, full replacement is usually better.

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Goodrich?

It depends on the project and whether it reaches the road. We check with the village or Atlas Township, and the county road commission for approaches.

Can you pour on a sloped lot?

Yes. We form carefully, place joints to control cracking down the slope, and use a rougher broom finish for winter traction.
