I’ve been in the construction business most of my professional life. I’ve built houses around the Kansas City area. It’s fun when I run into someone who has lived in one of my houses or someone I worked with. When my partner, Jason, and I decided to start our business, Concrete Raising Systems, we knew we’d be good business partners. I worked with Jason on several projects, and his work ethic and attention to a ‘job well done’ were always there in every job he did. We had a mutual respect for one another and knew that this business and our customers would benefit from our beliefs about how we ..read more

You noticed it. Don’t pretend you didn’t. You notice it every time you leave the house but ignore it. You’re thinking it won’t get any worse. You’re hoping it won’t get any worse.

3 reasons to use Concrete Raising Systems

Small, Solid Concrete Raising Business In past years, when we had heard that another concrete-raising business in our area was no longer in business, it wasn’t good news. Most people in our position might view this as a good thing. Competition is always good for the community and business in general. When a concrete-raising company goes out of business, we look at it differently. We know someone is more than likely out of a job. Someone has to go home and tell their spouse that things may be tight for a while. It’s not just about business; it affects a person’s life. That’s why we do business ..read more

The snow is coming. The forecast of snow may have eluded us one weekend only to blast us sometime soon. When snow does blanket the Kansas City area, we tend to forget what is underneath. Hibernation sets in, the squirrels settle in, flowers are nowhere to be seen, and we get the snow shovels out, turn up the heat, grab our blankets, build a fire, sit back and relax. Is snow plowing a way you clear your driveway? That uneven sidewalk and driveway you didn’t get repaired will be fine until next spring. Are you sure about that? If you shovel your driveway yourself or have it done by a truck with ..read more

Is it too Late to Lift my Concrete?

There is a chill in the air. A feeling that things are starting to slow down in anticipation of the winter that is to come. Leaves are falling, squirrels are busy preparing for winter, and it stays darker longer in the morning. Hibernating animals such as ground squirrels, marmots, prairie dogs, dormouse, and hamsters are getting ready to suppress their metabolic rate, which is their survival mechanism, for winter. (How do you survive or thrive in the winter?) Fall triggers a slowing of growth. For Concrete Raising Systems, fall is a great time for us to remind you to make sure your driveway ..read more
