Concrete Contractor in Prichard, AL - Slabs Built Right From the Ground Up
Quickset Mobile Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Mobile, AL, pouring driveways, patios, steps, slabs and foundations for homeowners, builders and small business owners in Prichard.

Concrete work on Prichard homes and lots
Prichard sits about five miles north of Mobile, so it's close to home for us, and our crew works here the same way we do in Mobile and down in Tillmans Corner. Most of what we pour here is flatwork, meaning the driveways, patios, walks and steps around a house, along with lots and floors for small business owners.
A lot of the houses we work on in Prichard are older, and their concrete has been poured, patched and poured over again. The price usually turns on how much old concrete has to come out and what we find under it, then on size, thickness and the finish you pick, and your written estimate lists what's included and what isn't. The schedule turns on the permit when a job needs one, such as digging in the public right-of-way where a driveway meets the street. It also turns on curing, the wait while concrete hardens enough to carry weight, which means a few days before you walk on a new patio and longer before you drive on a new driveway. What decides how long a new slab lasts here is the ground under it and where the water runs, so that's where we start.
Concrete services we offer in Prichard
Concrete driveway building
Older Prichard driveways often settle and crack along the edges, so we tear them out, dig down to firm dirt and pack a new base before pouring.
Concrete patio construction
On an older Prichard lot, a patio has to fall away from the house, so we set that slope first and finish it with a broom for grip.
Stamped concrete services
If you want an older house's patio or walk to look like brick or stone, stamped concrete gives that pattern on a slab built like any other.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks here are often lifted by tree roots, so we replace the bad sections and cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a place to go.
Garage floor concrete
An old garage floor that's cracked, sunk or oil-stained can come out and go back in level, with rebar, steel that keeps cracks from pulling apart.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns can give an older Prichard porch or entry some character, and the base under it gets the same work as any slab.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard drops toward the street, a retaining wall holds the dirt back, with drainage behind it so water doesn't push the wall over.
Concrete floor installation
Shops and small commercial buildings in Prichard need floors that stay flat under shelving and carts. That starts with a packed subgrade, the ground the slab sits on.
Concrete pool decks
In Prichard backyards, a pool deck has to keep its grip under bare, wet feet and send splash and rain away from both the pool and the house.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps on older houses here are often cracked, uneven or pulling away from the porch. We form and pour new ones with every step the same height.
Slab foundation building
For a new house or addition in Prichard, we dig out, pack and check the base for drainage before any steel goes down for the slab.
Foundation installation
Builders putting up houses, garages and shops in Prichard get foundations formed to the plan, square and level, and checked before the concrete truck shows up.
Concrete parking lot building
Small business owners in Prichard call about lots that hold water or break up at the entrance, where trucks turn. We build those spots thicker.
Concrete footings
Footings carry a Prichard porch, carport or addition, so we dig them down to firm dirt, not just to the depth that's easiest to reach.
Foundation raising
When an older house here has dropped at one corner, we raise it back toward level and look for the water or soft dirt that let it sink.
Concrete cutting
When only part of an old driveway or patio here comes out, saw cutting leaves a clean edge so the piece you keep isn't cracked in the tear-out.
What signs mean your Prichard concrete needs work?
A lot of the concrete around older Prichard houses has been patched and poured over more than once, so it pays to catch a problem while it's still small.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- A slab sinking near the house
- Water pooling after a rain
- Edges chipping or breaking off
- One side of a step dropping
- A dusty, flaking surface
If you're seeing one of these around your Prichard house, call (251) 219-6382 or send the form, and I'll come out and look at it with you.
Should you repair the slab or replace it?
On a Prichard home, the answer comes from what's under the slab. If the ground is firm, a repair can hold. If it has moved, new concrete on top just moves with it.
When a repair is enough
Hairline cracks are normal, and one broken section or a sunken stretch of walk can usually be cut out and replaced when the ground under it hasn't moved. We set the new piece level with the old so the seam doesn't catch a toe.
When it's time to replace
If cracks run across the whole slab, it's sinking in more than one spot, or it tilts water toward the house, the base is the problem. We tear it out, fix the ground under it and pour new, so the slab starts on firm footing.
What a Prichard slab needs from us
You'll deal with me from the estimate to the finished slab, because I write it up myself and run our crew of finishers and form setters on site.
The base before the finish
If money's tight, I'd simplify the finish before skimping on the base, because a bad base can't be fixed from the top.
Water sent away from the house
Before we set forms, we check where your yard drains, so the slab falls away from the house instead of toward it.
Cracks given a place to go
We cut control joints while the concrete is still fresh, because a slab left too long picks its own crack lines.
Prichard permits checked first
Prichard's Inspections Department issues permits inside the city, and we check with it and handle the paperwork when a job needs one.
Licensed and insured here
For a permit, Prichard wants a city business license on jobs under $50,000 and a state general contractor license over it.
