General Contractor in Louisville, KY — Concrete, Excavation, Decks & Outdoor Living

Eric & Jerry Orm — a family-owned, licensed and insured general contracting crew based in Louisville, Kentucky. Excavation, grading, concrete, decks, pergolas, covered porches, patios, driveways, and retaining walls.

Services We Offer

  • Concrete Contractor

    Driveways, pads, sidewalks, foundations, and flatwork — poured straight, finished clean, built to last on Kentucky soil.

  • Excavation Contractor

    Basements, footings, ponds, trenches, and dig-outs. Real excavators, real operators, real day-rates without the surprise add-ons.

  • Grading Contractor

    Rough grade, finish grade, drainage correction, and lot leveling. Water flows where you want it — away from the house.

  • Land Clearing Contractor

    Lot clearing, brush hogging, stump removal, and forestry mulching. From overgrown weed lots to building-ready acreage.

  • Utility Installation Contractor

    Water lines, sewer laterals, drainage, and underground utility trenching. Buried at the right depth, bedded in the right material.

  • Site Prep Contractor

    Full site prep for new builds — clear, strip, cut, fill, compact, and stub utilities. Building-pad ready when we leave.

  • Deck Builder

    Custom wood and composite decks built on real footings — multi-level, wraparound, screened, or simple. Built to outlast the neighbors.

  • Pergola Builder

    Cedar, PT, and aluminum pergolas — freestanding or attached. Real footings, real beams, built to handle Kentucky wind and snow.

  • Covered Porch Builder

    Roofed back porches, screen porches, and three-season rooms. Tied into your house's roofline like it was always there.

  • Patio & Outdoor Living Contractor

    Paver patios, fire pits, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. Built on a real base so your patio doesn't shift in two winters.

  • Driveway Contractor

    Concrete, asphalt, and gravel driveways built on a real base. Proper grading, drainage, and a finish that lasts decades — not a couple winters.

  • Retaining Wall Contractor

    Segmental block, boulder, and poured concrete retaining walls. Built with the right drainage and geogrid so they don't bulge or fail in five years.

How We Work

  • 1. You call an owner

    Eric usually picks up. Jerry answers texts. No call center, no salesperson in between.

  • 2. Free on-site walk

    Usually within 48 hours. We look at access, grade, drainage, soil, and utilities before quoting.

  • 3. Itemized written quote

    Base prep, reinforcement, disposal, restoration, and permit fees each on their own line.

  • 4. Same crew start to finish

    The hands that quoted the job are the hands that do it. Locked start date, real schedule.

Where We Work

Commercial & Institutional Work

We are not a residential-only crew. E & J takes on small-to-mid commercial concrete and sitework across the Louisville metro and the Fort Knox corridor — directly for owners and property managers, and as a subcontractor to general contractors.

Why Homeowners Hire Us

Licensed, insured, family-owned. Written quotes, real timelines, and the same crew from start to finish. Free estimates within 48 hours.

Jerry Orm (father) runs excavation, grading, and heavy equipment. Eric Orm (son) runs estimates, crews, and concrete. Between them, 20+ years of Kentucky clay, limestone bedrock, and MSD drainage rules — the three things that decide whether a slab or a pad holds up.
