Concrete Contractor
Maurer Monolith pours and finishes concrete for homeowners in Onalaska, WI and the surrounding area. We handle driveways, patios, sidewalks, foundations, and slab work, from forming and grading through the final finish.
Address: 566 Lester Ave, Onalaska, Onalaska, WI 54650
Hours: Open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Why pick us
- We compact and grade the subgrade before we pour, so the slab has a stable base underneath.
- We walk the site with you first and write down what we're pouring, the thickness, and the finish.
- We lay plywood and mats to protect your lawn and driveway while trucks and equipment are on site.
- We show up on the day we schedule, not whenever a truck happens to be free.
- We cut control joints at set spacing so cracking happens along those lines, not across the slab.

Questions we get asked
How long before I can drive on my new driveway?
Concrete needs about seven days to cure enough for regular vehicle traffic. You can usually walk on it after 24 to 48 hours, but we'll give you the exact timeline for your pour before we leave the site.
Do you pour concrete during winter in Onalaska?
Cold weather changes how concrete cures, so we watch the forecast and use insulating blankets or heated enclosures when temperatures drop. Some jobs we schedule for spring if the ground is frozen or conditions aren't right for a pour.
Will my new concrete crack?
All concrete develops some hairline cracking as it cures and settles. We cut control joints at regular intervals so any cracking follows those lines instead of running across the slab.
Do I need a permit for a driveway or patio?
Permit rules depend on the project and where it sits on your lot. Check with the City of Onalaska building department before we start, and we'll pour to whatever gets approved.
What causes a sidewalk or patio to sink?
Sinking usually means the base underneath wasn't compacted properly, or soil underneath washed out over time. We excavate and compact a gravel base before every pour to avoid that problem.
How thick should my driveway or patio slab be?
A typical driveway slab runs 4 to 6 inches thick, depending on whether vehicles will drive or park on it. We figure the right thickness and reinforcement based on what the slab needs to carry.
