McCaslin Concrete Contractors was founded in 2017 by Nick McCaslin, but our family's concrete expertise stretches back to 1955 — making us 3rd generation concrete professionals. That deep-rooted experience in the Evansville area means we understand local soil conditions, weather challenges, and building requirements inside and out.
Yes, every McCaslin Concrete project includes a workmanship warranty that covers defects in installation and materials. The specific terms and duration vary by project type, so we encourage you to visit our warranty page or ask your estimator for full details during your free consultation.
Residential
A standard concrete driveway in the Evansville and Newburgh area typically runs $6 to $12 per square foot, while stamped or decorative driveways range from $12 to $20 per square foot. The final price depends on the size of the area, site preparation required, chosen finish, and accessibility. We provide free on-site estimates with a detailed written quote so there are never surprises.
We offer a full range of patio styles including standard broom-finish concrete, stamped patterns (ashlar slate, cobblestone, wood plank, and more), integrally colored concrete, acid-stained finishes, and exposed aggregate surfaces. Our team will walk you through samples and help you choose the look that best complements your home and outdoor space.
Most residential concrete projects — driveways, patios, sidewalks — take between 1 and 5 days of active work depending on the scope and weather conditions. After pouring, we recommend a 7-day curing period before regular use to ensure maximum strength and longevity. We'll provide a clear timeline during your estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
We work diligently to match the color, texture, and finish of your existing concrete as closely as possible using integral color mixes and finishing techniques. However, an exact match can be challenging because existing concrete changes appearance over time due to weathering, UV exposure, and natural aging. We'll discuss expectations upfront and show you samples so you can make an informed decision.
Commercial
A robotic total station is a precision GPS-guided surveying instrument that we use on large-scale commercial concrete projects. It ensures exact grades, elevations, and slopes across expansive surfaces like warehouse floors, parking lots, and commercial foundations. This technology eliminates guesswork and delivers a level of accuracy that traditional methods simply cannot match.
Absolutely. McCaslin Concrete is fully equipped to take on commercial projects of any size, from retail building foundations and industrial flatwork to full parking lot installations and warehouse floor pours. Our crew has the manpower, equipment, and project management experience to deliver large-scale work on time and within budget across the greater Evansville area.
Yes, all of our commercial concrete work is designed and installed to meet current ADA accessibility standards, including proper slope gradients for wheelchair ramps, compliant curb cuts, and appropriate surface textures. We stay up to date on federal and Indiana state building codes to ensure every project passes inspection the first time.
Process & Pricing
Getting started is simple — contact us by phone or through our online form, and we'll schedule a convenient on-site visit to assess your project. During the visit, we'll take measurements, discuss your goals and preferences, and evaluate site conditions. You'll receive a detailed written quote within 48 hours, with no obligation and no pressure.
We accept cash, personal checks, and all major credit and debit cards for your convenience. For larger residential and commercial projects, we also offer financing options through our lending partners for qualifying customers. Your estimator can walk you through payment details during your free consultation.
We monitor weather forecasts closely throughout every project and plan our scheduling accordingly. If rain is expected, we may adjust the pour date to protect the quality of your concrete — fresh concrete and heavy rain don't mix well. Any weather-related delays are built into our scheduling process, and we'll keep you informed every step of the way.
During peak season — spring through fall in Indiana — we recommend booking 2 to 4 weeks in advance, as our schedule fills up quickly. During the winter months, wait times are typically shorter and we can often accommodate projects on shorter notice. The sooner you reach out, the better we can align with your preferred timeline.
Technical
For residential projects in the Evansville area, we use a minimum of 4,000 PSI concrete, which exceeds standard requirements and ensures long-term durability against Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles. For commercial and heavy-load applications, we use 4,500 PSI or higher, reinforced with fiber mesh or steel rebar depending on the project's structural demands.
Yes, we strongly recommend sealing your concrete within 30 days of installation and resealing every 2 to 3 years for optimal protection. A quality sealer guards against moisture penetration, freeze-thaw damage, salt exposure, and UV fading — all common concerns in southern Indiana. Sealed concrete also maintains its color and finish significantly longer than unsealed surfaces.
Proper crack prevention starts with the right foundation: adequate thickness (4 inches minimum for residential, 6 inches or more for commercial), a well-compacted subgrade, strategically placed control joints, and sufficient curing time. Indiana's clay-heavy soil and seasonal temperature swings make proper site preparation especially critical. Our crew follows industry best practices on every pour to minimize cracking and maximize the lifespan of your concrete.
