Concrete slab in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Concrete slabs carry garages, sheds, hot tubs, generators, AC units and basement floors. Replacing a cracked and sunken garage floor is one of the most common slab jobs in Metro Detroit, along with pads for new outbuildings and basement floor patches after plumbing work.
Slabs fail when the base under them does. A proper job starts with removing soft soil, compacting a stone base, adding a vapor barrier under interior slabs, placing reinforcement, and pouring to the right thickness with control joints. Garage slabs should slope toward the door or a drain. Planning a coating? See epoxy garage floors.
What a proper job includes
- Layout of size, thickness and slope for the use
- Removal of the old slab or topsoil and excavation to firm soil
- Compacted aggregate base
- Vapor barrier under interior and garage slabs where specified
- Reinforcement, and thickened edges or anchor bolts for buildings
- Concrete placed, finished and jointed
- Curing and protection until the slab is ready for use
What drives the price
- Slab size and thickness
- Removal of an old slab and hauling
- Base depth and soil corrections
- Reinforcement, thickened edges and anchor bolts
- Access for the concrete truck, or pumping into a garage or back yard
- Finish: smooth trowel for coatings or broom for traction
- Floor drains or plumbing that must be protected

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Slabs for garages, accessory buildings and structural floors usually need a building permit from the local building department (BSEED in Detroit), often as part of the building permit. Simple pads may not; confirm locally. Excavation needs notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days ahead.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Look for a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Concrete, or a Residential Builder license, and check the number on the LARA lookup.
