Serving Huntington, WV and surrounding areas. (304) 802-8567
Huntington Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Teays Valley, WV, with stamped concrete patios, driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls, and slabs for homes throughout Putnam County. We respond within one business day and understand what homes built in the 1980s and 1990s actually need - subbases that were not built to last and concrete that is now 25 to 40 years old and reaching the point where repair alone is not enough.
Teays Valley homeowners are replacing aging wood decks and plain concrete slabs from the 1990s, and many are choosing stamped concrete because it matches the look of stone or brick at a fraction of the cost and lasts far longer than wood in the Kanawha Valley climate. Our stamped concrete services cover patios, pool surrounds, driveways, and walkways with patterns and colors that fit the suburban subdivision homes throughout Putnam County.
Driveways poured during Teays Valley's suburban boom of the 1980s and 1990s are now 25 to 40 years old and hitting the end of their service life. Many were built on minimal subbase preparation, and the Putnam County freeze-thaw cycle has been working on them every winter since. Replacing a failing driveway now - before it undermines the garage apron or heaves against the front walk - is far less expensive than correcting secondary damage later.
The suburban subdivision homes in Teays Valley typically have rear yards that are sized for an outdoor living area, and a properly built concrete patio is the most durable surface for the Kanawha Valley climate. Hot humid summers and wet winters mean a patio surface needs to drain well, resist surface scaling, and stay sealed against the moisture that works into anything left unsealed here.
Many Teays Valley lots have some slope to them, and as the fill around newer subdivision homes settles over decades, retaining walls can begin to lean or separate. The clay-heavy soils common in Putnam County hold water and exert significant lateral pressure on wall structures, especially after the heavy rains that come through the area in summer and spring. A properly drained and reinforced concrete wall handles this pressure where an improperly built block wall will not.
Subdivision homes along the Route 35 corridor in Teays Valley often have connecting walkways from the driveway to the front door and from the garage to the back yard that were poured at the same time as the house and are now showing the same age. Heaved or cracked walkways are a tripping hazard and a liability issue, and replacing them with correctly formed concrete that pitches water away from the house keeps the paths safe and functional year-round.
Teays Valley homeowners who have invested in their properties - and Putnam County has one of the higher homeownership rates in West Virginia - are increasingly choosing decorative concrete finishes for driveways, patios, and pool areas. Exposed aggregate, broom finishes, and color-hardened surfaces upgrade the look of a property without the maintenance demands of wood or composite decking, which is especially appealing in a climate with hot summers and wet winters.
Teays Valley is an unincorporated community in Putnam County that grew rapidly as a bedroom suburb during the 1980s and 1990s, and the majority of the housing stock dates to that period. At 25 to 40 years old, those homes are entering the replacement window for major exterior systems - roofs, driveways, walkways, and concrete slabs are all reaching the point where repair alone stops making financial sense. Unlike older Appalachian towns where the housing stock is pre-war, Teays Valley's challenge is subdivision concrete that was built fast during a growth boom, often with minimal subbase preparation and no plan for the long-term drainage problems that arise on the area's sloped lots.
The Kanawha Valley climate delivers cold winters with repeated freeze-thaw cycles - January lows regularly dip into the mid-20s Fahrenheit - and hot, humid summers with heavy rainfall. Putnam County receives 40 to 45 inches of rain per year, and the clay-heavy soils here drain slowly, meaning water stays in contact with foundations and under slabs for extended periods after rain events. A stamped concrete patio or replacement driveway that is built without attention to subbase drainage and proper sealing will begin to show surface scaling and edge cracking within a few winters.
Our crew works throughout Teays Valley and the broader Putnam County area regularly. The subdivision homes here have a different character than the older towns in our service area - lots are mid-sized with attached garages, paved driveways, and rear yards designed for outdoor living. We know the standard layouts and the typical drainage issues that come with the sloped subdivision lots that are common along the Route 35 corridor.
US Route 35 is the spine of Teays Valley - nearly every resident uses it daily, and the commercial strips along it are how most people navigate the community. The area sits between the Kanawha River valley and the Putnam County hills, and the proximity to Charleston means many residents commute east toward the capital while keeping their homes maintained here in Putnam County. Permits for concrete work in unincorporated Teays Valley are handled at the county level.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Hurricane, WV just a few miles away - the two communities share schools, zip codes, and commercial areas, so our crew is in the Putnam County area consistently. We are not a company that has to look up where you live before agreeing to come out.
Call us or fill out the contact form and we respond within one business day. We cover all of Putnam County, so there is no extra charge for driving out to your Teays Valley address.
We visit the property, assess the existing concrete, the site grade, the drainage, and any access considerations, then give you a written estimate. For stamped concrete, we also walk through pattern and color options at this visit so you have everything you need to make a decision.
We pull any required Putnam County permits, schedule the pour around weather forecasts, and complete the job with the subbase preparation and drainage grading that this climate demands. You do not need to be home for most of the work - just available if we have a question.
When the job is done, we walk you through the finished surface and explain the sealing and maintenance schedule - especially important for stamped concrete. Plan on 7 days before foot traffic on new flatwork and 28 days before driving on a new driveway.

(304) 802-8567Teays Valley is an unincorporated community in Putnam County, West Virginia, and one of the most densely populated unincorporated areas in the state. It developed primarily between the 1980s and early 2000s as families sought newer suburban homes within commuting distance of Charleston, roughly 20 to 25 miles to the east. The result is a community made up almost entirely of single-family subdivisions, with homes on mid-sized lots set back from the street, attached garages, and the kind of uniform suburban character that is uncommon in most of rural West Virginia.
Putnam County has one of the highest homeownership rates and median household incomes in the state, and that shows in the way Teays Valley homeowners maintain their properties. This is not a community of renters - people here are invested in their homes and expect contractors to match that standard. We serve all of Teays Valley and the broader Hurricane corridor, and we also work in Nitro, WV to the east along the Kanawha River, where older industrial-era homes have a different but equally demanding set of concrete needs.
