Concrete & Foundation Contractor in Norwich NY
Alright, let’s talk about what’s under your feet here in Norwich. It’s more than just dirt and rock—it’s the foundation of everything you own. And around here, between the spring thaws that flood the Chenango River bottoms and the deep winter freezes that creep up from Canasawacta Creek, that foundation gets tested. Hard. A driveway that looks fine in July can be a cracked mess by next April if it wasn’t poured right for our weather. A basement in a historic West Main Street home stays dry only if you understand where the water wants to go when we get those heavy summer downpours.
Concrete & Foundations in Norwich: Your Chenango County Ground Crew
That’s where we come in. We’re Over the Top Construction, and we’ve been your neighbors handling Norwich’s concrete and foundation work for over 25 years. We’re the guys you see at the Blue Stone Cafe in the morning, talking about the frost line out on Hale Road or the best base material for a garage slab over on Fair Street. This isn’t just our job—it’s our community. We pour foundations for families we know, repair driveways for businesses we shop at, and build things to last because we have to look at our work every day, same as you.
Why “Good Enough” Doesn’t Cut It in Chenango County
Let’s be honest: you can’t use the same concrete mix sheet they use down in Pennsylvania and expect it to hold up here. Our winters are longer, our ground freezes deeper, and the soil out toward Plymouth or North Norwich can change every half-mile. We start every job by thinking like a local: Is this the kind of clay that holds water and heaves? Are we near enough to the old railroad beds that the fill is unpredictable? We plan our footings, our drainage, and our pours around answers to questions only someone who’s worked here for decades would know to ask. We don’t just dig holes and fill them with concrete—we build a stable base for your life in Norwich.
01.
Foundation Installation
Whether you're building a new home off County Road 32 or adding a garage behind your place on Hope Avenue, it all starts in the dirt. We pour foundations that go down past the frost line (and yes, we know exactly how deep that is here). We set forms so straight you could use them as a reference, and we pour concrete that cures strong enough to handle whatever a Chenango County winter throws at it.

Concrete Flatwork You Can Actually Trust
We've all seen those driveways in town that look like a plate of broken crackers after a few years. Ours don't do that. We pour driveways, sidewalks, and garage floors with the right mix, the right reinforcement, and the right control joints so they stay smooth and level. We know how to slope it so the meltwater runs off toward the street, not back toward your foundation.

Foundation Repair That Actually Fixes the Problem
See a new crack in your basement wall? Notice your back door sticking since last winter? Don't just caulk it and forget it. We'll figure out why it's happening—maybe it's the giant silver maple roots from your neighbor's yard, or the old clay tile drain that finally collapsed. We fix it with solutions meant to last: interior French drains that handle our high water table, carbon fiber straps that lock walls in place, or proper grading to send water away from your house for good.
Commercial Concrete: Built for Norwich Businesses
When you’re running a business on Broad Street or out on Route 12, you can’t have a parking lot that’s a muddy mess every March or a loading dock that’s crumbling. We get it. We work fast, clean, and with minimal fuss so you can keep serving customers. We pour slabs thick enough for delivery trucks, design lots that drain quickly, and build entrances that make a good first impression.

Residential Concrete: Making Your Norwich Home Better
Your home is your castle, and even castles need good walkways. We build the outdoor spaces where you’ll actually live—where your kids will draw with chalk, where you’ll grill with friends, where you’ll park your car every night.

Patios & Walkways: Turn that sloped backyard into a flat, usable patio perfect for watching fireworks over the fairgrounds.
