Concrete
DoneRight.Concrete Contractor in Palatine, Illinois
Driveways, patios, steps, walkways and crawl space to basement conversions — poured by the owner, not a crew you'll never meet.
Dave Stack
Pours It Himself
Creative Concrete Company has been pouring concrete in the Northwest Suburbs since 1976. Same family, same standards, same phone number people have been passing to their neighbors for decades.
Dave Stack shows up to your estimate, and Dave Stack is on site when the truck arrives. There's no salesman, no subcontracted crew, and no surprise change order after the forms are set. You get a straight number, a real start date, and concrete that's still flat twenty years from now.
From a cracked apron out front to converting a damp crawl space into a full dry basement — if it's flatwork or foundation, it's what we do.
Dave films his own jobs start to finish on YouTube as The Concrete Professor.
Concrete Services
Residential flatwork and foundation work across Palatine and the surrounding Northwest Suburbs. Tear-out, prep, pour, and finish — all handled in house.
Concrete Driveways
Full tear-out of cracked, sunken or heaved slabs, proper base prep and grading, then a fresh pour with clean control joints so it stays flat through Illinois winters. Aprons, extensions and widenings too.

What Neighbors Say
"Creative Concrete did our crawl space conversion. Dave was very good to work with, he was prompt and kept at it until it was done. Instead of a dusty crawl space, we now have a nice, dry basement. I would not hesitate to recommend Creative Concrete to anybody for a crawl space conversion."
"I am a very picky person, I want things done my way and am constantly checking to see if things are done my way. Well Dave, the owner and concrete specialist, was a saint, he listened to all my requests and did everything I wanted. He worked so hard I was impressed with his attention to detail and cleaned up everything when the job was finished. I would highly recommend him to all that need concrete work."
