Dorion
Footings and foundation walls, driveways, patios, walkways, garage floors and finished surfaces. Distance changes the method rather than the work. A Dorion pour gets its site walk, its material list and its truck timing settled well in advance, because seventy minutes each way removes the option of nipping back for something. It is a more planned job than a city one and it should be.
Precision Concrete is based at 684 City Rd in Thunder Bay. Two owners, both from the city, each with more than eleven years in the trade, running under this name since 2024. Dorion is seventy-six kilometres northeast on Highway 11/17, which puts it further from us than any other township we work in, and we would rather you knew that from the first paragraph.
Dorion is a township of about 375 people across 212 square kilometres, taking in Dorion and Dorion Landing, with Nipigon and Red Rock roughly twenty minutes on. Properties here are large tracts on individual wells and septic systems, sitting on Canadian Shield ground.
Six services, all available in the township. Each links through to the full detail.
FoundationsFootings, walls and slabs for new builds, additions, garages and outbuildings. Foundation work is the job that most justifies the trip, and it is the one we plan hardest before leaving the city.Plan your foundation »
Garage FloorsFlat, hard-troweled floors with drain slope where the building calls for it. Detached shops and storage buildings are close to standard on the large tracts up here.Pour a new garage floor »
DrivewaysTear-out, re-grade, gravel base, pour. Dorion approaches run long and the base has to be built to hold through freeze and thaw without anybody nearby to patch it every spring.Price my driveway »
PatiosBackyard slabs sized to the part of the yard you use. On a property this size the decision is placement and outlook rather than fitting a rectangle into a small space.Design your patio »
Walkways and StepsFront walks, side paths and steps between buildings. Uneven Shield ground makes the layout of the steps a real design question rather than a formality.Fix my walkway »
Stamped and Decorative ConcreteBroom, smooth or exposed aggregate. Broom is the sensible default on anything outdoors this far north and this far from a quick repair visit.See stamped options »5-star ratings from Google

Seventy minutes each way means we cannot improvise. The site walk happens first, the material list is finalised before the truck is loaded, and the pour is scheduled as a single mobilization rather than a job we drift back to. That discipline is what makes a Dorion job work, and it is a fair thing to ask any contractor quoting you up here to describe.
Dorion sits on Canadian Shield, and bedrock close to the surface cuts both ways. Where you hit it, it is about the most stable thing you could build a footing on. Getting through it to depth is the harder and more expensive part, and it is the single biggest reason a Dorion excavation quote can differ from a city one. We establish what is down there before we price it.
Properties here run on individual water and septic. That decides where a driveway can route and where a slab can sit before any other consideration does, and on a large tract there is usually more than one workable answer. We settle it at the consultation rather than on pour day.
Requirements differ across Thunder Bay District municipalities and Dorion is its own township with its own process. We confirm what your project needs before it goes on the calendar. On a seventy minute drive, discovering a problem on site is not a small thing.
Seventy-six kilometres, about seventy minutes. Any contractor who is vague about how far away they are is going to be vague about when they are coming back.
Site walked, materials listed, timing set. A Dorion pour is a planned single trip, which is why it does not turn into three visits and a delay.
Minor repairs on our own work, guaranteed to your satisfaction. The distance does not change the promise, and you should ask any contractor up here whether theirs travels.
Both owners are on site. Nobody is sending a crew seventy minutes up the highway unsupervised on a job they have never seen.
Shuniah sits between Dorion and the city and covers most of the shoreline on the way down. The rest of the townships we serve are on the west and south sides of Thunder Bay.
Dorion is the furthest township we serve, at seventy-six kilometres.
