Concrete work we do in Rio Rancho, NM
Elite Rio Rancho Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor in Rio Rancho, and we offer 16 services, from driveways and patios to footings and foundation raising. Most calls start with cracks, a sinking slab or water pooling where it shouldn't, and the fix usually starts underneath. The price turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how much digging and base the ground needs, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on any permit, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait while the concrete gains strength before you use it. I'll give you your own number when I walk the job.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways on a dug-out, packed base, sloped so water runs toward the street and not back toward your garage.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place to sit out back? We pour concrete patios with a broom finish, a light texture that keeps shoes from slipping when it's wet.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio, walk or driveway the look of stone or brick, pressed into the surface while the concrete is still soft and then colored.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build concrete sidewalks and front walks for homes and properties, with joints cut in the right places so any cracking stays in straight lines.
Garage floor concrete
Is your garage floor cracked, uneven or chipping? We pour a new slab sized for the weight of cars and storage, on a base packed to carry it.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and custom finishes for homeowners and businesses who want a slab that looks finished, not just poured.
Concrete retaining walls
Got a slope that keeps washing into the yard? We build concrete retaining walls on solid footings, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.
Concrete floor installation
We install concrete floors for homes, shops and commercial spaces, poured at the right thickness and finished smooth or textured for how you'll use the room.
Concrete pool decks
A concrete pool deck needs grip for wet bare feet, so we choose the finish for safety around the water as much as for looks.
Concrete steps construction
Crumbling or uneven front steps are a trip waiting to happen. We form and pour new concrete steps with even step heights and a slight pitch to shed water.
Slab foundation building
For builders and owners putting up a home or shop, we pour slab foundations on a packed subgrade, the soil the slab sits on.
Foundation installation
We dig, form and pour foundations for new homes, additions and outbuildings, with rebar, the steel bars inside that hold the concrete together under load.
Concrete parking lot building
We build concrete parking lots for businesses and property owners, with a thicker slab and a base that stands up to daily traffic and delivery trucks.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads under walls, posts and porches that spread the weight into firm ground. We pour them for builders, homeowners and deck projects.
Foundation raising
A sunken slab or foundation can sometimes be raised back to level instead of torn out. I'll tell you straight whether yours can.
Concrete cutting
Need an opening for a door, a trench for a pipe or a damaged section removed? We saw-cut concrete cleanly so the rest of the slab stays intact.
What you get when you hire our crew
We're a small crew, and most of what sets us apart happens before the concrete truck shows up. Here's what you can count on when you hire us.
The owner writes your estimate
I come out to look at your job and price it myself, so the person who quoted it is the one who answers for how it turns out.
Drainage and joints planned first
Before we set forms, we check where water runs so the slab falls away from your house, and we lay out control joints, cut grooves that give cracks a straight place to go.
Told what you need, not more
If a smaller fix will hold, like raising a sunken section or cutting out one bad panel, I'll say so. I'd rather lose the bigger job than sell you work that won't last.
Our own crew, with me on site
Our own crew does the work, and I'm usually on the job while they dig, form and pour. Call (505) 271-3053 to set up a visit.

I walk the site with you
I come out myself, measure, look at the ground and where the water runs, and talk through what you want. Then I go over what the job needs and give you a free estimate. There's no pressure and no obligation, so take the time you need to decide.
We prep, form and pour
Once you say go, we check with the permit office that covers your address, and if the job needs a permit, we take care of the application and inspections. Then our crew digs out, packs the base, sets the forms and pours, and I'm usually on site.
Final walkthrough
When the concrete is finished and the joints are cut, I walk the job with you before we pack up. I'll tell you how long to stay off it while it cures, and our crew cleans up the site before we leave.

Rio Rancho, where we're based and work
Rio Rancho is the third-largest city in New Mexico, and our calls here run from homeowners with a cracked or sinking driveway to builders who need slabs and footings for new houses. The City of Rio Rancho runs its own building department, so permits for work inside city limits go through the city.
A lot of folks here spend weekends at Willow Creek Bosque, where the trail loops run on crusher fine and packed dirt, or at Trailhead Park with its playground, picnic tables and walking path. We're based here, and we bring the same prep to a driveway in Rio Rancho that we bring to a slab in Corrales or Bernalillo.

Questions about concrete in Rio Rancho
(505) 271-3053It depends on the size, the thickness and how much the ground needs before we pour, so I give you a number after I see the site. Tearing out an old slab, extra base, tight access and a stamped or colored finish all add to the price. The estimate is free and done on site.
It depends on why it cracked, because a repair or raising a sunken section can cost less and hold fine, but patching a slab whose base has failed only puts off replacing it. I'll tell you which one your slab needs, even when the cheaper fix will do.
You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength for days while it cures. The exact wait depends on the mix and the weather, and I'll tell you yours at the final walkthrough. Most of the time you're without your driveway is the cure, not the pour.
Yes, the city requires every contractor working inside city limits to hold a State of New Mexico license, whatever the trade. The city also wants contractors to have an active City of Rio Rancho business license. We're fully licensed and insured, and you should ask any contractor for proof before you hire them.
Retaining walls need a city permit, and for driveways, patios and other flatwork, the slabs you walk and drive on, you should ask before you start, because the city's list doesn't spell them out. The city suggests calling its permit office at 505-891-5005 before any home project. If your job needs one, we handle it.
Yes, our promise is your satisfaction, guaranteed. Concrete can still crack a little as it moves, so we put our time into the base and the joints instead of promising a slab that won't ever crack, which no honest contractor can.
Some fine cracking is normal because concrete shrinks as it dries, but a slab on a dug-out, packed base with joints cut on time usually holds up far better than one poured on loose dirt. Most bad cracking and sinking I see comes from a raked base, water running under the slab or joints cut late. Pouring early instead of in the midday heat also keeps the top from going weak and dusty.
The city's design criteria set the frost depth at 18 inches, and footings are set below that line so freezing ground doesn't lift them. The city also lists moderate weathering, so outdoor concrete here should be made to handle some freezing and thawing.
