You’ve got a concrete project coming up. Maybe it’s a new commercial building that needs foundations, structural concrete, and flatwork. Maybe you’re replacing deteriorating concrete at an existing facility.
Either way, there’s more to the job than pouring concrete.
The site may need to be cleared. Existing concrete might have to come out. There’s excavation, grading, preparation, and possibly other improvements that need to happen before or after the concrete work itself.
At North Country Unlimited, we’re a commercial concrete contractor providing concrete installation, demolition, repairs, and site improvements throughout Central Pennsylvania.
We work with general contractors, commercial property owners, and other customers on new construction projects and improvements to existing properties.
With experienced concrete crews and our own excavation, grading, and site services capabilities, we can take on more of the work under one contract.
From excavation to finish grade, our goal is to provide a complete turnkey solution that makes the project easier to manage.
Not every concrete project involves the same requirements.
A sidewalk, a structural foundation, and a loading area all serve different purposes. Each requires the right preparation, materials, installation methods, and attention to detail.
North Country provides a range of commercial concrete services for new construction, renovations, and existing property improvements.
Concrete flatwork covers the horizontal surfaces that people and equipment use every day.
Our concrete flatwork services include projects such as:
These projects may look straightforward when they’re finished, but the details matter.
The condition of the subgrade, the surrounding structures, drainage considerations, and the intended use of the concrete all influence how the work needs to be performed.
And when you’re working on an active commercial property, there’s often more to consider than the concrete itself.
Some concrete work does more than provide a finished surface. It supports the building or structure above it.
North Country also handles structural concrete projects, including:
For new construction, we work from the project’s engineering plans and specifications, coordinating our work with the general contractor and the broader construction schedule.
We understand that concrete is often one part of a larger sequence of work, and the next phase may depend on ours being completed.
Sometimes the first step toward installing new concrete is getting rid of what’s already there.
Maybe a sidewalk has deteriorated beyond repair. Maybe an existing slab needs to be removed for a renovation. Or perhaps concrete has to be cut or opened up to access something underneath.
North Country provides concrete demolition and removal services as part of our broader concrete and site improvement capabilities.
Our services include:
We can handle the removal of existing concrete, prepare the area for new work, and complete the replacement installation.
New construction generally starts with a set of plans and a defined sequence of work.
Repairs and renovations can be a different story.
New construction usually gives you a plan to work from.
Repairs and renovations give you a plan—and whatever happens to be in the way.
Maybe it’s a railing that can’t be removed. Maybe it’s a building, an underground utility, or another part of the property that has to remain undisturbed.
Whatever the situation, the work has to be planned around those existing conditions.
North Country takes those factors into account when evaluating the job and determining how to proceed.
A concrete contractor can install a pad.
But what happens when the site needs to be excavated first? What if the grading needs to change? What if the finished project also requires fencing or other improvements?
Those are separate scopes of work, and on many projects, they end up being handled by separate contractors.
At North Country, we can bring those services together.
Our concrete crews work alongside our excavation, grading, and site improvement capabilities to provide a more complete construction package.
Depending on the project, that can include:
Instead of coordinating one contractor for excavation, another for concrete, and a third for fencing, you can work with North Country on the complete scope.
Take something as ordinary as a commercial dumpster pad.
The concrete needs to support the intended use, but that may be only one part of the project.
The area may need grading and preparation. The pad might need to accommodate specific equipment or containers. And the finished installation may call for fencing or an enclosure.
We’ve worked on dumpster pads with specialized requirements, including one at a Nestlé facility that incorporated stainless steel runners positioned to accommodate the movement of a container.
It’s a good example of how even a relatively small concrete project can involve details that have to be planned and executed carefully.
Our concrete and site improvement services support two very different kinds of projects.
When you’re building something new, the work is typically driven by engineered plans, construction schedules, and coordination with other trades.
North Country works with general contractors to complete concrete and related sitework according to the requirements of the project.
We understand the importance of scheduling, site access, and completing each phase so the next contractor can move forward.
And when a project calls for excavation, grading, concrete installation, and related site improvements, we can take on a larger portion of that scope.
Existing properties bring their own challenges.
Maybe a walkway needs to be replaced without disrupting access to the building. Maybe a concrete pad has to be modified to accommodate new equipment. Or perhaps the property needs additional concrete surfaces, drainage improvements, or other site changes.
North Country works with commercial property owners and general contractors to address these needs.
Our services can be especially useful when a project involves more than replacing concrete.
If the surrounding grade needs attention, existing materials have to be removed, or related improvements need to be completed, we can evaluate those requirements as part of the overall job.
For a general contractor, managing a construction project means keeping a lot of moving parts organized.
Every additional subcontractor brings another schedule to coordinate, another scope to manage, and another point of contact.
Sometimes that’s unavoidable.
But when one contractor can handle several related phases of the project, it can simplify the process.
We’re not limited to concrete installation alone. Our broader capabilities include excavation, grading, land clearing, landscaping, and other site services.
We also have hydro excavation equipment that can be useful when a project requires careful investigation or excavation around existing underground infrastructure.
For example, when working around building foundations, hydro excavation can help expose buried conditions that may be difficult to investigate using conventional excavation methods.
And when a concrete project involves erosion and sediment control, soil management, or other site requirements, we can address those needs within the broader scope of work.
The objective isn’t simply to offer more services.
It’s to bring the right capabilities together so the work can be planned, coordinated, and completed with attention to the details of the entire project.
Whether you’re planning new commercial construction, replacing existing concrete, or looking for a contractor who can handle the sitework along with the concrete installation, we’d like to hear about your project.
Tell us what you’re building, repairing, or improving.
We’ll review the scope, discuss the site conditions and project requirements, and determine how North Country can help.
From demolition and excavation to concrete placement and finish grading, we’re equipped to take on more of the work and help you get the job done.
