Jireh / Services

Concrete,
done right.

Seven services, one self-performing crew, one phone number. We're the concrete subcontractor Nashville builders and GCs hand the whole scope — residential flatwork, engineered foundations, commercial slabs, decorative finishes — all poured by people whose name is on the truck. Scroll, or jump to what you need.

01 · FLATWORK

Driveways &
flatwork.

The first thing anyone sees when they pull up — and the last thing you want to re-pour. We treat it that way.

Service 01 Estate driveway pour · Belle Meade

Your driveway is the handshake — the first thing a buyer, appraiser, or dinner guest sees. Bad prep shows up as cracks inside three winters. We spend two-thirds of our time on what's underneath the slab: scrape the organic layer, compact a graded gravel base, wet it in, and set forms to a laser-verified grade before a single yard of mud shows up.

Reinforcement is picked to the job — fiber mesh for standard residential, #4 rebar on a grid for heavy-vehicle pads and approach aprons. We cut control joints within 24 hours while the slab is still green, and apply a curing compound before we leave the site.

Typical thickness4" residential · 6" heavy load
Mix4,000 psi · air-entrained for freeze/thaw
ReinforcementFiber mesh or #4 rebar @ 18" o.c.
Finish optionsBroomed · smooth trowel · exposed aggregate · stamped
Crew + duration4–6 · 1–3 days per driveway

  • Form setting & string-line grade

02 · SUB-GRADE

Footers.

The part of the house nobody sees. Get it wrong, everything above it argues with gravity for the next forty years.

Service 02 Footer forms & graded base · Franklin

Nobody walks their house and says "nice footers." They only notice when the drywall starts cracking six years in. Our job is to make sure that conversation never happens. Excavation to architect-specified depth, respecting Tennessee frost-line minimums; forms set and braced; rebar tied per the engineered schedule — typically two runs of #5 continuous with perpendicular ties at stepped transitions and corners.

We coordinate directly with your excavator, foundation crew, and structural engineer so the footprint pulls clean and square, with anchor bolts or dowels set exactly where the wall rebar needs them. We also handle thickened footings for load-bearing interior walls.

DimensionsPer plan set · typical 16" × 8" continuous
Frost depth12–18" minimum (Middle TN)
Rebar2× #5 continuous · ties @ 24" o.c.
Step-downsFormed to sloped lots · keyed transitions

03 · FOUNDATION

Foundation
slabs.

Monolithic and stem-wall slabs. We pour the platform your whole build sits on — plumb stub-ups set within a quarter inch of plan.

Service 03 Foundation slab placement · Brentwood

The slab sets the tone for the whole build. Plumb stub-ups in the wrong place cost you a plumber's day. A quarter-inch off square costs your framer two. We pour from 1,200 sqft accessory structures up to 6,500 sqft custom homes — vapor barrier lapped and taped, rigid insulation where specified, anchor bolts, hold-downs, and threaded rod set with templates so day one goes to framing, not to an SDS bit.

We handle in-slab plumbing stub-ups, radon pipe, electrical conduit, and post-tensioning cable layouts when specified. Finish is laser-screeded where the square footage justifies it, then power-troweled to a hard, flat surface.

Typical thickness4" interior · 12"–16" thickened edge
Vapor barrier15-mil Stego or equivalent
FlatnessFF 35–50 depending on spec
EmbedsAnchor bolts · hold-downs · radon · PEX
Crew + duration6–8 · 3–5 days including prep

04 · F5 RATED · FEMA P-361

Storm
shelters.

Middle Tennessee sits in Dixie Alley. We build the concrete rooms that make sure your clients' families come out the other side.

Service 04 In-garage safe room · Spring Hill

A storm shelter is the one room where "we cut it close on spec" is the wrong answer forever. Ours are engineered to FEMA P-361 and ICC 500 — capable of taking a direct EF5 hit and the 15-lb two-by-four missile that comes with it. In-garage pours sized 6'×8' up to 8'×12', with below-grade options where lot grade allows.

Doors are rated steel from an approved manufacturer (hinges and deadbolts tested to the same missile-impact standard as the walls). We handle the full envelope: footer, walls, roof slab, door frame embed, and ventilation.

05 · DEMO & MODIFICATION

Concrete
cutting.

Wall sawing, slab sawing, wire sawing, and core drilling. Precision cuts in cured concrete without shaking the neighbors — or the rest of your structure.

Service 05 Interior renovation cut · Nashville

Sometimes the concrete's already there and it's in the way. Our cutting crew opens doorways, windows, elevator shafts, trench drains, and service penetrations in existing walls and slabs with diamond-blade wet cutting and flush-cut capability within an inch of an adjacent surface. Clean edges, no structural cracking, no neighborhood-shaking jackhammer work.

Core drilling from 1" to 24" diameter, vertical or horizontal, through reinforced concrete up to 36" thick. Slurry containment and vacuum recovery on every interior cut so your finish surfaces come out clean. OSHA-compliant silica controls across the board.

Wall sawUp to 24" depth · flush within 1"
Slab sawUp to 20" depth · straight or curved
Wire sawUnlimited depth · columns, piers, mass concrete

06 · COMMERCIAL & TILT-UP

Commercial.

Warehouse slabs, tilt-up wall panels, retail pads, parking structures. We scale the same care we take on a 2,000 sqft driveway across a 100,000 sqft floor.

Service 06 Warehouse slab placement · Charlotte Pike

A warehouse floor is a piece of industrial equipment. If it's out of flatness, your forklifts wobble, your racking leans, and a $2M distribution fit-out gets written up for punch-list from day one. We hit FF 50+ / FL 30+ on superflat racked warehouse with laser-screed placement, diamond-pattern saw-cut joints, dowel baskets at construction joints, and joint filler on schedule after slab shrinkage.

Tilt-up panel fabrication on site: bond-break applied to the casting slab, panel forms set, reinforcement and embeds tied per engineer, concrete placed and finished, then cranes lift the cured panels into position. We coordinate the full sequence with your GC, erector, and structural engineer.

Slab size range5,000 – 120,000 sqft per phase
Flatness specFF 35 standard · FF 50+ superflat
Tilt-up panelsUp to 50' tall · 12" thick reinforced

07 · DECORATIVE & POLISHED

Decorative
finishes.

Stamped, stained, polished, exposed aggregate. The same structural slab — finished to read as a design surface, not just a utility floor.

Service 07 Finished surface detail · The Gulch

The same structural slab can read as a utility floor or a design surface — it's all in the finish. We stamp slate, flagstone, running bond, wood plank, and custom patterns; we stain, polish, or expose the aggregate. Release agents chosen to complement the base color rather than fight it. Sample panels before you commit.

Polished concrete floors ground to a 400-, 800-, or 1500-grit finish with lithium densifier and stain guard. Interior floors ready for occupancy without a separate flooring trade. Exposed aggregate driveways and patios where the stone does the work.
