Our Story

How We Ended Up Pouring Concrete for a Living

We form, pour and finish concrete for homeowners around Onalaska, driveways, patios, walkways and slabs, and most of what we know came from doing it in this specific climate, not a classroom. Western Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on concrete that wasn't mixed or jointed for them, and that's the kind of work we ended up specializing in without planning to.

If you're on this page, there's a good chance something cracked, sank or started flaking, a driveway scaling from years of road salt, a patio that heaves every spring, steps pulling away from the porch. The fix usually starts underground, with what the old slab was poured over and whether water had anywhere to drain. We rebuild the base properly, use air-entrained mix rated for our winters, and cut joints early so the slab cracks where we tell it to instead of wherever it wants.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We carry the insurance that protects your property if something goes wrong on the pour. Certificates are available on request before we start.

Written Quotes

No verbal estimate that changes once the truck shows up. You know the cost of the gravel base, the rebar and the finish before you sign anything.

Built for Freeze-Thaw

Standard concrete scales and flakes under road salt and repeated freeze-thaw. We spec air-entrained concrete and proper jointing specifically for that.

On-Time Pours

Concrete scheduling depends on temperature and rain more than most trades. We watch the forecast closely and give you a real window, not a guess.

Clean Job Sites

Demo spoil, form lumber and wash-out water don't get left for you to deal with. The site gets cleaned the same day a pour or repair wraps up.

Local Crew

The same guys who bid the job are the ones running the screed and the trowel. That matters on concrete, where the finishing window is maybe an hour.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Common questions about working with Maurer Monolith.

How long has Maurer Monolith been doing concrete work?
Experience in concrete work shows up in small decisions, like exactly when to start troweling or where to place a joint, not in a number posted on a website. Every pour and repair draws on hands-on experience with how concrete behaves through Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles.
Do you use your own crew or hire subcontractors?
Maurer Monolith's own crew handles forming, pouring and finishing on every job rather than subbing the work out to other outfits. The same people who bid the job are the ones running the screed and the trowel.
Can I see examples of past work?
Photos of past driveways, patios and repairs can be shared on request, and seeing a finished job in person nearby can sometimes be arranged too. Ask about it during the estimate visit.
Why choose a smaller concrete contractor instead of a big paving company?
A smaller crew means the owner is usually on site for the pour, not just the sales call, and finishing details get watched closely during the short window concrete allows. Big paving companies are often better suited to large commercial lots than a single residential driveway or patio.
Where is Maurer Monolith based?
Maurer Monolith is based in Onalaska, WI, and works throughout the surrounding Coulee Region.
How far out are you usually booked?
Booking windows shift with the season, since concrete pours slow down in cold months and pick up heavily once spring weather settles in. Calling early for a spring or summer project gives a better shot at the preferred date.
Do you clean up after the job, including old concrete and forms?
Demo debris, form lumber and leftover material get hauled off the same day a pour or repair wraps up. The site gets left clean, not with a pile of broken concrete at the curb.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
Liability insurance covers damage caused during concrete work on a residential property, and certificates are available on request before the job starts. Any issue that comes up gets addressed directly rather than argued over.
Will you take over a concrete job another contractor started or left unfinished?
Picking up a job midway is possible, but the existing work gets inspected first, the base, the forming and any concrete already poured, before deciding how to proceed. Sometimes a partial pour has to come out if it wasn't done to a standard the rest of the job can be built on.
How can I tell if a concrete job is being done right while it's happening?
Proper base compaction, correct joint spacing and air-entrained mix for outdoor work are the things worth asking about during a pour. A contractor willing to explain the gravel base, the rebar placement and the jointing plan before starting is a good sign.
