Custom Concrete: Getting the Job Done Through Grit

For instance, back in the day, before the availability of heavy equipment, workers had to spread gravel by hand. Though advances in equipment have come a long way, the intense work ethic remains the same. The Custom Concrete team uses grit to support one another on scorching hot days, stark blustery days, early mornings, late evenings, when days are insanely busy, and when life is just plain crazy due to a global pandemic.

“Grit is not uncommon in our industry,” says Jason Ells, Senior Vice President of Custom Conrete. “We’re so happy to partner with vendors, builders, customers, and contractors, all of whom demonstrate grit. This is important to us because we want to always get the job done and do it right.”

That’s why they celebrate their grit and determination as a tribute to those who came before them. Joe Carr, who started the company in 1969, was on his way to a job site once when the engine went out on his pickup truck. He had a colleague bring him another engine and he swapped it out on the side of the road so he could get to work. That’s grit.
