Concrete Raising of America Franchise
Concrete Raising of America - Franchise Opportunity

CRC Concrete Raising of America, Inc. is the world's premier concrete franchise opportunity as recognized by independent authorities throughout the franchise community.

Concrete Raising of America relies on its 60+ years of experience raising settled concrete to establish new, dynamic, franchise locations in metropolitan areas.

Look around...this unique opportunity is literally beneath your feet! Our industry is serviced by existing contractors as a supplement to their existing line of work, or by entrepreneurs, as a stand-alone business that satisfies the need to remove tripping hazards and hollow voids.

Concrete Raising of America is currently seeking individuals/groups interested in providing innovative services within seemingly untapped markets via turnkey franchise operations in the United States and internationally. Concrete Raising franchises will provide concrete raising and grouting services to the residential, commercial/industrial, and municipal sectors of major metropolitan areas. The service of raising concrete can be a stand-alone business or used in conjunction with other concrete and/or construction related services.

Concrete Raising Corporation (CRC) has been in the concrete raising business since 1947, having made significant contributions to the processes and technologies used in the slab raising industry today. In 1993, Concrete Raising of America, Inc. was established with the venue of forming business associations around the United States, and ultimately on an international basis. Since it's inception, Concrete Raising of America has actively shared the elements of successfully raising concrete through its establishment of Franchises. Many of these Franchise Associations were formed with business owners, working in the concrete industry, interested in greatly improving their existing service line income potential. Some Associations were formed with entrepreneurs interested in becoming major players in slab raising. Those who were already in the concrete business, gained the ability to offer their customers the alternative of raising concrete versus replacing it. Those with no previous experience were soon running turnkey businesses of their own.

CRC Candidates...

The success of each CRC franchise location is based upon the quality of the franchisee. Our "best" franchisees come from a variety of different backgrounds - from Certified Public Accountants to existing Decorative Concrete Finishers - but, they have a few characteristics in common, namely: strong leaders, consumer-oriented philosophies, long-term growth principles, and a "can-do" attitude.

Why Concrete Raising of America?

Dedication to "Quality, Integrity, and Innovation" differentiates each CRC franchise location.
