About Shortridge Construction
Local roots.
Solid work.
A Northern Ohio contractor that builds the part of every project nobody sees and everybody depends on.
01Who we are
Built from the ground up, in Castalia.
Shortridge Construction is a Northern Ohio contractor headquartered on Tiffin Avenue in Castalia. We build the parts of a project that everything else depends on: the excavation, the grade, the foundation and the concrete. Then we build homes and commercial buildings on top of them.
We are experts in concrete, from driveways and sidewalks to footers, basements and commercial floors. Around that core sit site preparation, excavation, demolition, house raising and steel buildings, the steps that come before and after the pour. Handling them ourselves means fewer handoffs and one company accountable for the result.
In a region this size, reputation travels fast. We work like every job is going to be talked about, because it will be.
02What we stand on
Four things we
don’t compromise
- 01
Ground first
Most concrete failures start underneath. We never skimp on base, compaction and drainage, even when nobody will see them.
- 02
Straight answers
A written scope, realistic dates and honest advice, including when a cheaper option makes more sense.
- 03
One crew, start to finish
Our people dig it, form it, pour it and finish it, so there is no finger-pointing between trades.
- 04
Clean, safe sites
Utilities located before we dig, equipment maintained, and a site we would be proud to leave in front of your house.
03Range
From a sidewalk to a steel building.
One job might be a homeowner’s driveway in Huron. The next might be a warehouse slab, a house lifted off its foundation near the bay, or a steel building going up on a pad we graded ourselves. That range keeps our crews sharp, and it means your project probably is not the first of its kind we have seen.
In their words
Thank you for a very professional job on our patio and walkway. The slight bevel in the concrete to help funnel the rain water to a special area works great. Nice suggestion. Great work, guys!
We love our driveway. We had a great experience with Shortridge Construction.
