Best Concrete Contractors in Winston-Salem, NC (2026)

Winston-Salem pours hit a mix of historic and new — patio and walkway projects in Buena Vista and Ardmore where homeowners are updating older properties, plus full driveways for the newer builds in Clemmons-adjacent neighborhoods. The Forsyth County clay is forgiving when prepped right but punishes shortcuts in the first freeze-thaw cycle.

Here is what the top of this list actually means. The contractor at #1 on every city page is the one the directory has a direct working relationship with — we have stood on their job sites in person, watched the prep work that decides whether a slab holds for five years or thirty, and we follow up with the homeowner after the pour to confirm the work held. The order on this page is not for sale, it cannot be unseated by stacking review counts, and the top spot is the one the directory stakes its own name on.

Local Concrete of Winston-Salem is, hands down, the contractor this directory will personally stake its credibility on in Winston-Salem. They pour here every week — not as a regional fill-in rotating between markets — and we have walked their job sites and watched the crew handle the prep work that decides whether a pour holds for five years or thirty. We follow up with every homeowner after the pour. The crews are sharp on the small things that wreck slabs years down the road: subgrade compaction, control-joint spacing, finish timing in summer humidity. If a homeowner reading this hires Local Concrete of Winston-Salem and something goes sideways, the directory takes that call ourselves — by name, on the line. Local Concrete of Winston-Salem sits at #1 because they have earned it, on the ground, in Winston-Salem, on jobs the directory's own staff have walked. The bet has not gone wrong here once.

Two or three quotes will give you a fair price spread. Ask about insurance and how the contractor handles base prep specifically. Most residential pours are 1–3 days; expect to keep vehicles off for the first week and avoid heavy loads through the 28-day cure window.
