Concrete contractor in Lenoir City, TN

A lake town where I-75 meets US-321

Lenoir City sits where US-321 crosses Fort Loudoun Dam in Loudon County. I-75 and US-70 meet US-321 on the north side of town, and Fort Loudoun Lake lies to the west. As a concrete contractor in Lenoir City, TN, we split our work two ways: factory and trade floors along those roads, and lake and retirement homes like Tellico Village. The town sits about 25 miles southwest of our Knoxville team. Damp air off the water matters when we coat.

What does the lake-and-retirement economy mean for floor specs?

It means looks and a coating that lasts count for more than plain flatwork. Lake homes on Fort Loudoun Lake and Tellico Lake often pair outdoor living space with a garage floor that sees foot traffic from the boat launch and damp air off the water. A metallic or quartz finish for a show garage or a sunroom addition runs $6.08 to $10.17 a square foot.

Out back, a concrete patio with a standard 4-inch broom finish starts at $6.55 a square foot. An outdoor kitchen or a hot tub needs more. For those, we go to 5 inches thick with #4 rebar on 18-inch centers, and with that rebar a patio starts at $8.35 a square foot. That price covers a standard slab plus the rebar. The quote tool adds the extra thickness.

What spec does the manufacturing strip along US-321 and I-75 require?

A commercial and light-industrial strip runs north along US-321 and next to the I-75 interchange. It’s shop slabs, warehouse floors, and distribution pads, where toughness counts more than looks. Forklift floors here start at a 6-inch slab with #4 rebar. With that rebar, a Loudon County shop slab starts at $7.04 a square foot. That covers a standard slab plus the rebar, and the quote tool adds the extra thickness. A resin floor for a wet or chemical area goes down a quarter inch thick. That one’s priced per job. The suppliers and subs behind those plants need commercial-grade concrete, too.

What stone does Loudon County concrete come from?

Loudon County sits in the Valley and Ridge region, on Ordovician Lenoir Limestone. It’s a knobby gray limestone named for this area, and it runs 25 to 500 feet thick across the county. Local ready-mix plants use crushed limestone from quarries around the Ridge-and-Valley belt. One is Vulcan Materials - Dixie Lee Quarry, about 6 miles away in Farragut. Three things follow from that:

• Ground past 100 grit, Lenoir Limestone shows a warm, mixed color. That’s different from Memphis-area chert (cream to buff) or Nashville Basin limestone (a cooler gray-blue).
• On hillside lots near the ridges, limestone can sit close to the surface. That adds digging and footing (footer) work to a slab or driveway quote.
• If the stone look matters on a polished floor, we grind a test patch at no charge before we lock in the spec.

Driveway and patio installation, shop slabs, and garage floors in Loudon County

Homes around Lenoir City mix older in-town neighborhoods, newer builds along the lake, and rural acreage in the Loudon County interior. Driveway installation runs $6.96 to $16.43 a square foot, depending on the reinforcement and the finish, from broom to decorative. Polished concrete for a home runs $3.83 to $6.25 a square foot, from a salt-and-pepper look to full stone. Slab Boss Polish, our standard polish, starts at $3.58 a square foot on a home or a warehouse. The range above includes setup. A single rate can sit a little under it.

Shop and barn slabs use the same 6-inch rebar build as the shop floors along US-321. A Pour-4-Polish spec slab, poured to be polished, starts at $6.19 a square foot for the pour. The polish costs less when we pour and polish the slab as one job. See Pour-4-Polish for how that combined scope works and what it costs.

Garage epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are the most common ask in the lake and retirement market. Our standard polyaspartic garage floor in Loudon County is a two-coat flake system, with color flakes broadcast into the coating. On a sound slab, it runs $8.55 to $10.39 a square foot.
