Serving Charleston, WV and surrounding areas. (304) 414-0098
Charleston Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Hurricane, WV and the surrounding Putnam County area, with work covering slab foundations, driveways, patios, and sidewalks on the Teays Valley corridor. We have served Putnam County homeowners since 2017 and respond to new inquiries within one business day.
Hurricane and Putnam County have seen strong residential growth over the past two decades, with new homes, garages, and outbuildings going up throughout the area. Our slab foundation building service handles everything from new-construction residential slabs to garages and workshop additions on existing properties.
Many Hurricane homes from the 1970s and 1980s have driveways that are reaching the end of their useful life. Putnam County's winters and the clay soils under many Teays Valley lots accelerate the cracking and heaving that signal it's time for a replacement rather than another round of patching.
Hurricane homeowners invest in their outdoor spaces, and a well-poured concrete patio anchors a backyard for decades. Ranch and split-level homes with rear yards that step down the hill are common in this area, and we plan drainage carefully on those grade changes before any forming begins.
The rolling terrain around Hurricane and the Teays Valley creates sloped yards where retaining walls are the practical solution for flat usable space and erosion control. Concrete walls hold better than railroad ties or block on steep Putnam County grades, and they handle the wet winters without deteriorating.
Newer subdivisions in Hurricane often need walkways from the driveway to the front door, or from the patio to a detached garage. Concrete sidewalks on graded lots need proper slope control so they shed water away from the foundation - something we plan into every walkway pour.
Some Hurricane homes on the lower parts of the Teays Valley have foundations that have settled over time due to moisture-saturated soils. When floors are noticeably uneven or doors and windows stop operating correctly, the foundation may need lifting and re-leveling before the problem compounds further.
Hurricane sits in the Teays Valley, an ancient river valley that now carries a dense corridor of residential neighborhoods and commercial development between Charleston and Huntington. The valley floor is low-lying in places, and parts of the area have a history of drainage problems after heavy rain. The underlying geology - thick layers of old river and glacial sediment - means soils here behave differently from the hilltop clay soils common elsewhere in West Virginia. That sediment base shifts more with moisture changes, and foundations and flatwork poured without accounting for it can settle unevenly over time. A contractor who works this area regularly knows to ask about site history before starting any foundation or slab project.
At the same time, Hurricane has grown faster than most West Virginia communities over the past few decades, drawing families who prioritize the Putnam County school system. That growth means a wide range of home ages on adjacent streets - a 1975 ranch next to a 2005 colonial next to a 2020 construction. Each generation of home comes with its own concrete needs, from replacing the original driveway on an older ranch to pouring a new slab for a garage addition on a newer property. Handling that range of work on the same street is something we do throughout the Hurricane area every season.
Our crew works throughout Hurricane regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete contractor work here. Putnam County's permitting process runs through the county building department, and we pull permits for jobs that require them - homeowners should not have to navigate that themselves. The mix of older in-town properties near the city center and the newer subdivisions on the edges of Hurricane means we see both straightforward replacement jobs and more complex new-construction pours in the same week.
US Route 60 is the spine of Hurricane - most of the city's neighborhoods branch off it on both sides, from the older streets closer to downtown to the newer subdivisions further out toward the county line. Hurricane City Park is a well-known landmark for residents, and the commercial strip along Route 60 means heavy truck access is generally straightforward for deliveries and equipment. We are familiar with the neighborhoods on both sides of that corridor.
We regularly serve Teays Valley, WV just to the east along the same Route 60 corridor, as well as communities throughout the greater Kanawha and Putnam County region. If your home is in Hurricane or the surrounding area, we can typically schedule a visit within one business day.
Call us or submit your project details through the estimate form. We respond within one business day to every inquiry from the Hurricane area and schedule a site visit at your convenience.
We visit your Hurricane property to assess the site, review drainage, and measure the project area. You receive a written estimate before any work begins - we do not start until you have agreed to the price in writing.
We handle all site preparation - grading, base compaction, forming, and the concrete pour itself. On pour day, you do not need to be present, though many homeowners choose to be. We work around the weather to avoid cold or rainy conditions.
After the pour, we walk through the finished surface with you and explain the curing schedule - light foot traffic after about a week, full strength at 28 days. We clean up the work area before leaving your property.

(304) 414-0098Hurricane is a city in Putnam County, West Virginia, with a population of around 6,000 to 7,000 people. It sits along the Teays Valley corridor on US Route 60, roughly midway between Charleston and Huntington. Putnam County consistently ranks among the higher-income counties in West Virginia, and Hurricane has drawn families looking for good schools - the Putnam County school system is one of the area's main draws. The result is a city with a mix of older ranch-style neighborhoods near the city center and newer subdivisions built over the past 20 to 30 years on the edges of town.
The housing stock in Hurricane reflects its growth pattern. Homes near downtown tend to be single-story ranches and split-levels from the 1960s through 1980s, built on sloped lots with crawl spaces. Newer subdivisions on the outskirts feature larger two-story homes with attached garages and more landscaping. Hurricane borders Teays Valley, WV to the east along the Route 60 corridor, and the two communities share much of the same commercial and service infrastructure. Both areas have seen enough residential growth to generate steady demand for concrete work across every property type.
