Concrete Contractors in Kindred, ND

Kindred was platted in 1880 when the railroad arrived and was named for William A. Kindred, a local businessman who later served as mayor of Fargo. The town incorporated in 1949 and has grown from 692 residents in 2010 to 889 in 2020, with an estimated 1,030 in 2024. Kindred is a small Cass County city, and when residents look for concrete contractors in Kindred, the work is usually about space: room to park, room to store, room to sit outside.

Bigger households, bigger needs

The 2023 American Community Survey put Kindred at 3.00 people per household. Households with kids and several vehicles fill a driveway quickly. Common requests include:

• A wider driveway or a side pad for a trailer, boat or camper
• A shop or shed slab for equipment, bikes and yard tools
• A backyard patio large enough for a table and a grill
• A sport court slab with a smooth, even finish

Shop slabs done right

On larger lots outside the metro core, a detached shop is common. A shop slab has to carry vehicles and equipment for decades. We start with stripping the topsoil and any soft clay, then compact a granular base in layers. The slab thickness and steel follow what will sit on it, and we thicken the perimeter where walls bear. Saw-cut joints keep shrinkage cracks in line. A slight fall toward the overhead door lets melted snow drain out.

Housing growth

Kindred counted 267 housing units in 2000, 289 in 2010 and 339 in 2020. Many of the newer homes have builder-grade concrete that is due for an upgrade, while older homes in town may need repairs to walks, steps and driveways that have settled over time.

Weather and the long commute

Kindred is about 25 miles from Fargo. Homeowners who drive that far in winter bring a lot of snow and road salt home on their vehicles. That salty slush melts on the garage floor and driveway apron. To protect concrete from it: 1. Use air-entrained concrete on any exterior or garage slab. 2. Seal the surface once it has cured and dried, and reseal every few years. 3. Sweep or rinse salty slush off the garage floor during long cold stretches. 4. Skip deicers on concrete during its first winter.

A school town

Kindred Public School District 2 was organized in 1875 and enrolled 916 students in 2023 to 2024. For families on school routes, a smooth, level front walk and a driveway with good traction are worth the investment.

Repairs on older Kindred homes

Kindred has been a town since the 1880s, and some homes in the older part of town have concrete that has outlived its base. Front walks with heaved panels, a cracked back stoop or a garage floor that slopes toward the wall are all common. For those, we start with the cause: a downspout emptying beside the walk, a stoop with no footing, or a garage floor poured on topsoil. Fixing the water and the base is what makes a repair last, and it is the first thing we explain when we price concrete repair and replacement on an older Kindred lot.

Scheduling from the metro

Kindred is a longer drive than most of the metro, so we group site visits and pours sensibly. Calling early in the season gives you the widest choice of dates before the summer rush.
