Serving Kenner, LA and surrounding areas. (504) 618-1502
Cracked, hollow, or flaking garage floor? We replace it with a properly prepared slab built for Kenner's soft soil and heavy rainfall - flat, durable, and done on a schedule you can plan around.
Garage floor concrete in Kenner, LA means removing the old slab if there is one, compacting and leveling the ground underneath, and pouring a fresh concrete slab that gets smoothed and finished to a level surface - most residential jobs take one to two days of active work, plus seven days of curing before you can park on it. The prep work beneath the surface is what makes the difference, and in Kenner it matters more than almost anywhere else in the country.
Many Kenner homes built in the 1960s and 1970s still have their original garage slabs - often poured thinner than today's standards on ground that was never properly compacted. If your floor is cracked, uneven, or hollow in spots, a full replacement gives you a slab that actually matches what your garage demands. If you are also thinking about the floor inside your home or workshop, our concrete floor installation service covers those spaces as well.
These are the signs you can spot yourself without any special tools.
Small hairline cracks in concrete are normal, but cracks wide enough to fit a pencil tip - or cracks you have patched before that keep reopening - mean the slab itself is failing. In Kenner, this pattern almost always means the soil underneath has been moving, and patching alone will not fix the underlying problem.
Walk across your garage floor and knock on it with your knuckle or the heel of your shoe. If you hear a hollow sound in spots, the concrete has separated from the ground beneath it - there is a void underneath. This is a common result of Kenner's soft soil settling over time, and a hollow slab is at real risk of cracking or collapsing under the weight of a vehicle.
If water consistently pools in one or two areas of your garage floor, the slab has developed low spots from settling or an uneven original pour. Standing water in a garage accelerates rust on tools and vehicles and is a slip hazard. In a city that gets over 60 inches of rain a year, a floor that does not drain correctly only gets worse.
If the top layer of your concrete is peeling off in thin chips or crumbling when you sweep, the surface has deteriorated past the point where a coating or sealer will help. This kind of breakdown is often accelerated by years of humidity and heat cycling - conditions Kenner delivers in abundance - and it usually means the slab needs replacement, not a patch.
We handle the full project from start to finish: permits when required, demolition and haul-away of the old slab, ground grading and compaction, gravel base installation, moisture barrier, forming, the pour, finishing, and cleanup. A standard broom finish is the most practical choice for a garage - it gives you a slip-resistant surface that handles moisture well in Kenner's humid climate. If you want something nicer-looking, we also offer smooth trowel finishes and can coordinate an epoxy coating once the concrete fully cures.
For homeowners who want to upgrade the look of the space at the same time, we can add color to the mix or finish the surface with a stamped pattern before it sets. These options pair naturally with our decorative concrete work and are worth discussing during your estimate if you are thinking about more than a plain gray slab. The American Concrete Institute provides guidance on concrete finishing best practices at concrete.org.
The go-to choice for most garage floors - slip-resistant, easy to clean, and built to handle vehicles and heavy storage.
A cleaner, more polished look that works well for home workshops or garages used as a living or hobby space.
Adds personality to the space - integral color or stamped texture gives a garage floor a more finished appearance.
Kenner sits on the Mississippi River deltaic plain, where the ground is made up of soft, compressible clay and fill material that shifts with moisture changes. When that soil swells in wet weather and contracts in dry weather, it pushes and pulls on whatever is sitting on top of it - including your garage slab. Proper base preparation is not optional here; it is the single most important thing a contractor can do to keep your floor from cracking or sinking within a few years. Jefferson Parish also averages more than 60 inches of rain annually, which means a garage floor without correct drainage slope will collect water after every storm. The Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors requires that concrete contractors working on projects above a certain dollar value hold a valid state license - always verify before hiring.
We work throughout Kenner and the surrounding communities. Homeowners in Metairie and Harvey deal with the same soft-soil challenges and can expect the same thorough base preparation on every project we take on in Jefferson Parish.
Here is the process from first call to driving back into your garage.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond within 1 business day and come to your home to look at the space in person - because the condition of the ground underneath can change the scope of work significantly. You get a written estimate that breaks out labor, materials, and demolition costs separately.
You receive a clear written quote before we schedule anything. If your project requires a Jefferson Parish permit, we handle the application - that may add a week to the timeline before work starts, but it protects you and keeps the project on record.
If your old slab is being removed, the crew breaks it up and hauls it away. Once the old concrete is gone, we grade and compact the ground, add a gravel base layer, and install a moisture barrier to account for Kenner's high water table. This prep work is what makes your floor last.
Concrete is poured, spread, leveled, and control-jointed to manage shrinkage. In Kenner's summer heat, experienced crews start early to avoid pouring during peak afternoon temperatures. The finished floor cures for seven days before you drive on it. We do a final walkthrough with you before packing up.
No pressure, no obligation. We come out, look at your slab, and give you a real price based on what we actually see - not a guess over the phone.

We pour garage floors in Kenner and Jefferson Parish every week. We know what Kenner's soft deltaic soil does to slabs that are not prepared correctly, and our base prep process is specifically designed for the moisture and movement conditions found throughout this area.
One of the biggest frustrations homeowners have is getting a low estimate that climbs once work starts. We give you a written quote that breaks out demolition, base prep, the pour, and finishing before we schedule a single day of work. No surprises.
We tell you when to clear out the garage, when the crew arrives, when you can walk on it, and when your car comes back in - before work starts. We have been building garage floors in Kenner and the surrounding communities long enough to give you a schedule you can count on.
Every garage floor we build in Kenner goes through the same careful process - licensed work, proper permits, thorough base prep, and a walkthrough before we leave. That combination is why our customers refer their neighbors to us when their floor starts showing the same signs.
