A Mobile concrete contractor that starts with the ground underneath
I learned concrete under a boss who'd make you tear out a form and set it again if it was off even a little. I started Quickset in Mobile in 2013, kept his standards and added the part he skipped, which is explaining why each step matters before you sign anything.
I come out to look at every job and write the estimate myself. Our crew of finishers and form setters does the work, with me on site running it. You can read more about how we work.

Why customers call Quickset
I want you to understand your own job well enough to judge any bid, ours included, so I explain what's under the concrete and where the water goes before you sign.
I look at your job myself
I come out, walk the site with you and explain what it needs and why, so you know the work before you sign anything.
Bids you can compare fairly
Our written estimate spells out prep, removal and hauling, so you can line it up against other bids and see what each one leaves out.
Base and drainage done first
We dig out and pack the base, check where the water runs and lay out joints, because that hidden work decides how the slab holds up.
Permits checked before we start
We find out which city or county office covers your address and handle the permit paperwork when your job needs one.

Working on concrete in Mobile
Parts of Mobile sit in mapped flood hazard areas, where the city's storm water and flood control rules can shape what you build. Even outside them, heavy rain finds every low spot, so we check where the water runs before we set a form and slope each slab away from the house.
I return calls myself and run the crew on site. We keep trucks and tools off the parts of your yard we aren't working on, and we clean up and haul off the old concrete before we leave.

(251) 219-6382Questions about concrete in Mobile
How much does concrete work cost in Mobile, AL?
It depends on the size, thickness and finish of the slab, how much prep the ground needs and whether old concrete has to come out first. I give you a free written estimate after I see the job, with what's included and what isn't.
Why are concrete estimates so different from one contractor to the next?
Most of the gap is in what each bid includes, especially base prep, tear-out and hauling. A low bid often rakes the dirt level instead of digging out and packing a real base, and that's where settling starts. If you have to cut the budget somewhere, cut the fancy finish, not the base.
How long before I can use my new concrete driveway or patio?
You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength for days while it cures. I'll tell you the wait for your slab when we pour, since the weather that week makes a difference.
Are you licensed and insured for concrete work in Mobile?
Yes, Quickset Mobile Concrete Company is fully licensed and insured. The city requires any contractor on work that needs a permit to be properly licensed and bonded under city and state rules and registered with the Building Official. Anyone performing work over $10,000 must qualify as a homebuilder, remodeler or general contractor, so ask every bidder how they meet that.
What happens after I call Quickset for a concrete estimate?
I call you back within one business day and set a time to come out and look at the ground, the drainage and what you want built. You get a written estimate with what's included, and if you go ahead, our crew does the work with me on site.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Our work is satisfaction guaranteed. I'll be straight with you that concrete can crack, which is why our effort goes into the base, the drainage and the joints that keep it sound.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
Most old driveways crack because the base settled or the joints were cut late or skipped, and those are the two things we spend the most time on. We dig out and pack the base, cut joints early enough to do their job and add rebar where the slab needs it.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Mobile, AL?
It depends on the job, so check before anyone digs. Build Mobile, the city's building department, issues building permits for construction projects, and its guidance calls for a land disturbance permit for digging and filling land. If you're doing the work yourself, the city can issue you a permit once the Building Official is satisfied you're competent. When we do the job, we check with the office that covers your address and handle the paperwork.
