Serving Stoughton
Concrete Contractor in Stoughton, WI
Victorian-era housing, rubble stone foundations and Yahara River ground set Stoughton apart.
Get a free quoteStoughton holds some of the oldest intact housing stock in Dane County — Norwegian-built Victorians, worker cottages from the tobacco and wagon years, and a downtown historic district that has kept its shape. Under a good number of those houses is rubble limestone laid without a proper footing, so basement work here often means underpinning, repointing or replacing a wall section rather than pouring something new.
The Yahara River cuts through the middle of town, and the difference in ground either side of it is real. Sandy outwash near the river drains freely, which is a gift compared with the heavy clay elsewhere in the county, but the low blocks near Mandt Park sit close to the water table and that changes how a slab or footing gets built.
Newer building on the Kettle Park West side is conventional by comparison — flat sites, modern footings, straightforward drives.

What Stoughton calls us for
Foundations & Footings
Century-old rubble stone basements under the historic-district houses were never built on footings and eventually need underpinning.
Sidewalks & Steps
Original walks and stone front steps on the old east-side blocks have shifted and settled over generations of frost.
Concrete Repair & Replacement
Low ground near the Yahara and Mandt Park keeps moisture high under old slabs, which shortens their life.
