Alright, folks. Let’s get neighborly. 👇

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.

🐾 Meet Hank

Folks, allow me to introduce Hank—a cat who clearly knows the power of a good haircut. He’s rocking what we can only call the Coulee Region summer trim: business on top, party on the paws. Hank’s got the kind of stare that says, “Yes, I own this house. Yes, I also accept payment in treats.”

He’s equal parts dignified lion and snuggly housemate, and he’s here as a reminder that confidence is 90% attitude, 10% grooming.

One thing’s for sure: Hank isn’t just a pet—he’s a whole vibe.
