Elmhurst is one of the older established communities in DuPage County, and its housing stock shows it — brick Georgians and Tudors from the 1920s through the 1950s, sitting next to newer teardown rebuilds on the same block. Concrete work in Elmhurst is usually either restoring something that has been in the ground sixty years, or matching new work to a house with real architectural character. Taber Builders has done both across the Chicago west suburbs since 1985.
On the older Elmhurst homes, we get called most often for front walks, stoops and steps that have spalled and settled. The design question is always the same: how do you pour new concrete that does not look obviously new next to a 1930s brick facade? Old Chicago brick and running bond brick stamps in muted reds and grays work remarkably well here. For the newer builds, larger-format ashlar and cut-stone patterns suit the scale better.
Elmhurst lots tend to be narrow and deep with tight side yards, which is a real logistical constraint. Getting a concrete truck to the back of the property is often not possible, so we plan for pumping or buggying the mix in from the street. We would rather tell you that up front and price it honestly than discover it on pour day.
We stamp in ashlar slate, seamless stone, Old Chicago brick, herringbone brick, cobblestone and large-format cut stone, with integral color and a release layer chosen to suit the house. If you would rather see options in person than in a brochure, we bring samples to the estimate. Browse our stamped concrete gallery for finished work.
Beyond stamped patios we pour concrete driveways, sidewalks and walkways, stoops and steps and foundations, and we handle crack and foundation repair when replacement is not the right answer. We are fully insured and have been family-run out of Batavia since 1985.
