Concrete Construction in Metro Atlanta
As a licensed Georgia general contractor, we handle the layout, excavation, forming, reinforcement, pour and finish as one scope. Concrete work often comes with a larger project, like the slab for a new garage, the foundation for a home addition or a full custom home.

What Goes Into a Concrete Project
A few factors drive every concrete job. Knowing them makes your estimate easy to read.
- Size and thickness: more square footage and a thicker slab mean more concrete and more labor
- Site prep: removing old concrete, excavating and bringing in base stone add to the scope
- Access: a backyard pour that a truck can't reach may need a pump or extra handling
- Reinforcement and finish: rebar, mesh and stamped or decorative finishes cost more than a plain broom finish
- Permits and inspections: footings and structural slabs usually need them, and we handle both
A Concrete Contractor Based in Metro Atlanta
JMJ Construction Group is headquartered in Marietta, and concrete work is part of nearly every project we build. Georgia clay shifts with moisture, so we focus on proper base preparation, reinforcement and control joints before a single yard is poured.
We pour concrete for homeowners in Smyrna, Roswell and Cumming, plus the rest of the metro.
Concrete questions, answered
How much does concrete work cost in Atlanta?
It depends on the size and thickness, how much prep the site needs, whether old concrete has to come out, and the finish you choose. A small walkway and a driveway replacement sit far apart. We look at the site and provide a free, itemized estimate so you know exactly what's included.
How long before I can walk or drive on new concrete?
Foot traffic is typically fine after a day or two, and vehicles after about a week. Concrete keeps gaining strength for roughly a month, so we'll give you specific guidance for your pour and the weather when it's placed.
Why does concrete crack, and can you prevent it?
Concrete shrinks as it cures and moves with the soil underneath, so some cracking is normal. A compacted base, proper reinforcement and control joints cut at the right spacing keep cracks small and steer them into the joints, where they're hard to notice. Wide cracks, or slabs that sink or lift, usually point to a base or drainage problem.
Do I need a permit for concrete work?
Footings and slabs that support a structure, like a garage or addition, need a permit and inspections. Driveways, patios and walkways may need one depending on your city or county and where the work meets the street. We confirm the requirements for your address and handle any permits.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. JMJ Construction Group holds Georgia GC license GCI000260 and carries liability coverage through Next Insurance, with proof available before work begins.
Do you offer free estimates?
Always. We'll look at the site, talk through options and provide a detailed written estimate at no cost and no obligation.
