Concrete & Masonry Contractors in the Quad Cities

Compare local concrete & masonry contractors serving Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, East Moline and surrounding Quad Cities communities.

Concrete in the Quad Cities fails on a predictable cycle: water works into a driveway or patio slab, freezes, and opens the crack wider each winter, while clay-heavy soil settles unevenly underneath it. Masonry ages differently — the mortar gives out long before the brick does, and tuckpointing an older wall costs a fraction of rebuilding it. A settled slab can often be lifted rather than torn out, which is a different job from foundation repair. The contractors listed here handle flatwork, tuckpointing, chimney repair, and concrete lifting across all five Quad Cities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should a settled slab be lifted or replaced?

It depends on the condition of the concrete itself. If the slab is structurally sound and has simply sunk, lifting it — mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection — is usually far cheaper and faster than replacement, and you keep the existing surface. If the concrete is badly cracked, spalling, or crumbling, lifting it preserves a slab that is failing anyway. Ask for an opinion on the concrete, not just a price for the method the company happens to offer.

Is concrete lifting the same as foundation repair?

No, and the distinction matters. Lifting raises a settled slab — a driveway, patio, sidewalk, or garage floor. Foundation repair addresses the structure the house sits on: footings, foundation walls, piers. Some companies do both and some do only one. If the problem involves the house itself rather than flatwork around it, say so when you call, because it changes who you should be talking to.

What is tuckpointing, and do I need it?

Tuckpointing is replacing the deteriorated mortar between bricks or blocks. The brick can be perfectly sound while the mortar has weathered away, and left alone that lets water into the wall — which then freezes and does structural damage over a Quad Cities winter. The metro's older housing stock makes this common. A mason should be able to show you which joints are failing and why, rather than quoting the whole elevation by default.

What is the best time of year for concrete work in the Quad Cities?

Concrete needs temperatures above freezing to cure properly, so the working season here runs roughly April through October. Cold-weather pours are possible with additives, insulated blankets, and heated enclosures, but they cost more and carry more risk of a weak finish. If the job is not urgent, scheduling it in season is usually both cheaper and a better result — and contractors book up fastest in late spring.

What should a concrete or masonry quote include?

For flatwork: the thickness of the pour, whether reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh) is included, how the base will be prepared and compacted, and where the control joints will go — those joints decide where the inevitable cracks happen. For masonry: whether the new mortar will be matched to the existing in color and strength, and how they will protect the surrounding surfaces. For either, ask who pulls any permit the work needs, since that differs between the Iowa and Illinois sides.
