Old slab cracked, hollow, or crumbling? We pour new concrete floors in Wichita Falls built for the clay soil and summer heat here - with the right base, proper thickness, and permits handled for you.
Concrete floor installation in Wichita Falls, TX starts with preparing the ground beneath the slab - removing old material, grading, compacting, and laying a gravel base - then pouring, leveling, and finishing the concrete before it sets. Most residential projects take one to two days on-site, with a curing period of several days before foot traffic and about a week before vehicles.
A lot of homes and garages in Wichita Falls have floors that were poured 40 to 60 years ago - thinner slabs with less reinforcement than current practice recommends. The clay soil in this area has been moving beneath those floors ever since, and the damage shows: cracks, hollow spots, uneven surfaces, and water pooling in all the wrong places. A new floor fixes those problems when it is built to account for what this ground actually does.
If you are replacing a floor on a slope or near a grade change, adding a garage floor concrete pour or coordinating drainage improvements at the same time can prevent the same problems from returning in a few years.
Cracks that are wider or longer than they were a year ago mean the slab is under active stress, not just settling. In Wichita Falls, clay soil shifts with every wet and dry cycle, and a floor that is still moving needs professional attention before the damage spreads further.
Tap the floor with your heel in different spots. Dull, hollow sounds mean the soil beneath has pulled away and left the concrete without support. This is especially common in Wichita Falls during extended dry summers when the clay shrinks significantly, leaving gaps under older slabs.
A section that sits noticeably higher or lower than the area next to it has shifted. Small differences can sometimes be ground down, but larger offsets usually mean the slab needs full replacement. Uneven floors are a tripping hazard and a sign that the ground beneath has moved.
If the top layer is breaking apart in chips or developing rough, pitted patches, the surface has deteriorated past the point where patching will hold. This kind of breakdown is common on older Wichita Falls slabs exposed to decades of heat cycles and occasional hard freezes.
We handle new slab pours for garages, patios, workshops, outbuildings, and interior commercial spaces across Wichita Falls and the surrounding area. For full replacements, that includes demolition and haul-away of the old slab, grading and compacting the subgrade, laying a gravel base, and pouring the new floor to the thickness your space requires. For bare-ground installs on new construction or additions, we coordinate with the project timeline so the floor is ready when you need it.
Surface finish options run from a standard broom finish - the most common choice for garages and outdoor areas because it is slip-resistant and low-maintenance - to smooth trowel finishes for interior spaces and decorative options like stamped or colored concrete for patios and living areas. For outdoor spaces that extend beyond the floor itself, we also build concrete pool decks and can coordinate both pours in the same project to reduce mobilization costs.

We pull all required City of Wichita Falls permits and coordinate city inspections.
Two factors make concrete floor installation harder in Wichita Falls than in most other parts of the country. The first is the clay soil - heavy, expansive Vertisol-type soil that runs beneath most of Wichita Falls and Wichita County. This soil swells when wet and contracts when dry, putting constant stress on anything poured on top of it. A floor without a properly compacted gravel base and internal reinforcement will crack and shift as the ground moves beneath it. The second factor is the summer heat, which regularly pushes above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and can cause concrete to dry too fast on the surface before the interior has fully hardened. Local contractors who know this market schedule pours for early morning, manage moisture during curing, and use mix designs suited to hot-weather conditions.
A significant share of homes in Wichita Falls were built in the 1950s through 1980s, meaning many existing concrete floors in this city are 40 to 70 years old - poured thinner and with less reinforcement than what is standard today. We work in these older homes regularly, and we know what to expect beneath the old slab. We also serve homeowners in Gainesville, TX and Denton, TX, where similar clay-soil and aging-housing conditions apply.
You reach out by phone or through the contact form and we respond within one business day. We will ask what space you want poured, what you plan to use it for, and whether there is an existing slab to remove - so the site visit is focused and the quote is accurate.
We visit your property to assess the area, check soil conditions, and confirm what base preparation the site needs. You get a written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, demolition if needed, and permit fees - before any commitment is required from you.
For projects that require a City of Wichita Falls permit, we handle the application entirely. This typically adds a few business days to the timeline but creates an official inspection record that protects your investment. Once approved, you get a firm start date.
On pour day, the crew prepares the subgrade, lays the gravel base, and pours the slab - often starting at first light in summer to avoid the worst heat. Control joints are cut, the surface is finished to your specification, and curing begins. Plan for 24 to 48 hours off the floor and about a week before vehicles.
Free written estimate. We handle permits, base prep, and clay-soil reinforcement. No obligation to move forward.
(940) 298-1855We compact the subgrade, add a gravel base layer, and install reinforcement in every slab - not just when the site looks problematic. Wichita Falls clay moves with every wet and dry cycle, and building in that margin upfront is what keeps floors flat and crack-free over the long term.
Summer pours in Wichita Falls require careful management. We schedule early-morning starts, use water-reducing admixtures when needed, and keep fresh concrete moist during curing so the surface does not dry faster than the interior. These steps follow guidance from the{" "}Portland Cement Association on hot-weather concreting.
Every project starts with a written estimate that breaks out labor, materials, demolition if needed, and permit fees as separate line items. There are no line items added after the crew shows up. You know exactly what you are paying before anyone picks up a shovel.
We have been pouring concrete floors across 12 cities and towns in this region - the same crew, the same standards, and the same local knowledge on every job. That means consistent work with no subcontracting surprises and no out-of-area crews unfamiliar with North Texas soil conditions.
Every slab we pour is designed for the specific conditions at your site - not a generic formula applied the same way everywhere. That approach is why our floors hold up through Wichita Falls summers and the soil movement that comes with every season change.
Extend your outdoor living space with a poured concrete pool deck designed to handle Wichita Falls heat and stay slip-resistant season after season.
