Do You Handle Permit Applications for Concrete Projects?

- Use Safe De-Icers: Avoid rock salt; opt for sand, cinders or kitty litter.
- Clear Snow Quickly: Prevent ice buildup that causes cracks.

It was a challenging project due to the uneven yard. It looks great. I recommend Austill Construction. – JoAnn L.

Mike and his crew did a great job removing and replacing the sidewalk and driveway at my in-laws’ house. It was a challenging project due to the uneven yard and relocating a lamp post. It looks great. I recommend Austill Construction.
Austill Construction poured a 13.5 foot by 30.5 foot concrete slab, half was flat for a sunroom and the other was sloped for a patio. Their attention to detail and clean up was very professional. They did excellent work in a very timely manner.
Austill Construction came out to my office to inspect a broken concrete walkway. They gave me a timely quote, and after I agreed, they were prompt and even kept the area clean so I could keep my office open. Thank you, Austill Construction.
