Hey—thanks for being here. Let’s roll. 👇




I want to introduce you to Derek and Levi, the co-owners of Coulee Concrete Repair. These two run their business the way things used to be done—built on family values, an old-fashioned work ethic, and treating every customer like a neighbor.
What I love most is how straightforward they are. No gimmicks, no hidden costs—just honest quoting and work that speaks for itself. And it’s not just me saying that… their reviews are filled with people praising their professionalism, reliability, and the kind of craftsmanship you can trust.
If you’ve got uneven sidewalks, cracked driveways, or sinking slabs, Derek and Levi are the guys to call. They’ll get it done right—the first time.

🐾 Pet of the Week: Meet Parker!
Meet Parker — a handsome gentleman with bright green eyes and a calm confidence that says, “I run this household, thank you very much.”
Parker spends his days in pure cozy-cat fashion: lounging on the comfiest spot on the couch, observing life from his favorite window perch, and graciously accepting chin scratches (on his terms, of course). He’s equal parts regal and cuddly — the kind of cat who makes any home feel just a little warmer.
