Mission's Concrete Contractor
Most remodeling contractors in Mission do not touch concrete. They refer it out, which means homeowners are managing a separate company for the driveway while MrImproveIt handles the interior remodel. Mike Salazar does concrete himself. He has over 26 years of experience pouring and finishing flatwork across the Kansas City area and understands what Kansas City’s freeze-thaw cycle does to concrete that is not prepared and finished correctly.
Mission’s older homes have driveways, sidewalks, and patios that are well past their useful life. Heaved sections, cracked slabs, and surfaces that have been patched so many times the repairs are failing faster than the original concrete. We assess what is there, determine whether repair or full replacement makes more sense, and give homeowners a written estimate that covers the full scope before any work begins.

Concrete Driveway Installation and Replacement in Mission, KS
A concrete driveway in a Mission home from the 1950s or 60s has likely been there since the house was built. That concrete has been through decades of Kansas City freeze-thaw cycles, tree root pressure, and deicing salt that breaks down the surface from the top down. We remove the existing slab, prep the subgrade correctly, and pour a new driveway that is properly reinforced, properly sloped for drainage, and finished to hold up for decades rather than years. Driveway replacement is one of the highest-return exterior investments a Mission homeowner can make in terms of curb appeal and daily usability.
Stamped Concrete Patios in Mission, KS
Stamped concrete gives homeowners the look of pavers, slate, or stone at a fraction of the cost and with fewer long-term maintenance issues. We pour and stamp concrete patios in a range of patterns and colors that complement the home’s exterior. The stamping process is done during the pour while the concrete is still workable, which means the pattern is part of the slab itself rather than a surface coating that peels or fades. A stamped concrete patio is one of the most durable outdoor surface options for the Kansas City climate.
Concrete Patio Installation in Mission, KS
A standard broom-finish concrete patio is a clean, durable, and low-maintenance outdoor surface that works well for Mission homeowners who want usable backyard space without the ongoing upkeep of pavers or wood decking. We pour and finish concrete patios of any size, including those that tie into existing structures like the home’s foundation, garage slab, or existing walkways. Proper slope and drainage are built into every patio pour so water moves away from the structure rather than pooling against it.
Concrete Sidewalk Installation in Mission, KS
Heaved, cracked, and uneven sidewalks on older Mission properties are a safety issue as much as an aesthetic one. We replace failing sidewalk sections or pour entirely new walks, matching the existing grade and providing clean transitions at driveways and entry points. Every sidewalk pour is properly edged, finished, and sloped to prevent water from pooling on the surface or draining toward the home.
Concrete Repair in Mission, KS
Not every concrete problem requires full replacement. Isolated cracks, spalled surfaces, and settled sections can sometimes be repaired correctly and cost-effectively if the underlying subgrade is still stable and the slab itself has not lost structural integrity. We assess the existing concrete honestly and tell homeowners whether repair or replacement makes more sense for the specific condition. If repair is the right call we do it correctly. If replacement is the better investment we explain why before any work begins.
