About Us
A -27-Year Local Track Record
Bernie Kearns Concrete Inc. has been pouring concrete for NW Illinois since 1997. What started as a one-truck operation has grown into a small, experienced crew — but the standards haven't changed. Same owner. Same insistence on doing it right the first time.
We're not the biggest concrete company around, and we don't want to be. We stay small on purpose so every project gets owner attention from quote to walkthrough. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and their neighbors, which is exactly how we like it.
Bernie founded the company on a simple promise: show up when you say you will, pour it right the first time, and stand behind the work. Nearly three decades later that's still how every driveway, patio, and foundation gets done — with the owner on site and a crew that's been together for years.

Sarah M.
via Google · Driveway
Bernie's crew replaced our old cracked driveway and it looks amazing. They showed up when they said they would, cleaned up every day, and the finish is perfect. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Response from Bernie Kearns Concrete
"Thanks Sarah — it was a pleasure working with your family. Enjoy the new driveway!"

Had a stamped patio done last spring. A year later it still looks brand new. Fair price, honest quote, no surprises.

Direct review · Patio
We got quotes from three contractors and Bernie's was the most detailed. They walked us through everything and delivered exactly what they promised.
Response from Bernie Kearns Concrete
"We appreciate you taking the time to write this, Jen. Glad you're happy with the patio!"

Tom B.
via Google · Repair
Small crack repair job that other companies wouldn't even bid on. Bernie's team came out, did it right, and charged a fair price. That's the kind of company that earns lifelong customers.
