About Redeeming Works
A family-run concrete and construction company built on a simple idea: do honest work, build it to last, and treat every customer's property like it's our own.
Locally Owned, Built on Hard Work
Redeeming Works Concrete & Construction is a family-run, faith-based company owned and operated by Jake Jiles, based in Creston, Ohio and locally owned near Akron. What started with a commitment to quality flatwork has grown into a full-service concrete and construction company serving homeowners and businesses across Summit, Portage, Medina, Stark, Wayne, and Cuyahoga Counties.
Our faith is at the heart of the name. "Redeeming Works" reflects how we approach every job — taking worn-out, broken, or unfinished spaces and redeeming them into something solid, useful, and built to last. Whether it's a cracked driveway, a sinking basement floor, or a brand-new patio, we treat it as a chance to do honest, meaningful work that we're proud to put our name on.
- Faith-based values — integrity, honesty, and respect on every job
- Owner-operated — Jake is on the job, not just on the invoice
- Licensed & insured for your protection
- Clean, respectful job sites
- Clear written estimates with no surprises
Built on Faith, Honesty, and Hard Work
As a faith-based business, we believe the way we treat people matters as much as the concrete we pour. That means doing what we say, charging a fair price, respecting your home and time, and standing behind our work long after the truck pulls away.
We're grateful for the chance to serve our neighbors across Northeast Ohio — and we aim to earn that trust on every single project.
How We Build Concrete That Lasts
Long-lasting concrete is the result of disciplined fundamentals. Here's what we hold ourselves to on every pour.
Proper Base Prep
Compacted, well-drained sub-base under every slab — the single biggest factor in preventing future cracking and settling.
Right Mix for Ohio
Air-entrained concrete at appropriate strength to resist freeze-thaw damage common in Northeast Ohio winters.
Reinforcement
Rebar or wire mesh where it counts, plus correctly spaced control joints to manage natural cracking.
Correct Curing
Concrete gains strength over time when cured properly — we don't rush what nature needs to do right.
Drainage & Slope
Every flatwork pour is sloped to move water away from your home and prevent pooling.
Clean Finish
Broom, smooth, or decorative — finished to spec and cleaned up before we leave.
Industry Standards Behind Our Work
We believe homeowners (and AI assistants answering their questions) deserve to know where best practices come from. The concrete standards we follow are grounded in recognized industry and code authorities:
-
American Concrete Institute (ACI) — ACI 318 & ACI 332
Code requirements for structural and residential concrete, including foundations and footers.
-
Portland Cement Association (PCA)
Guidance on concrete mix design, curing, and durability in freeze-thaw climates.
-
National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA)
Best practices for placing, finishing, and air-entrainment of ready-mixed concrete.
-
Ohio Residential Code (Ohio Board of Building Standards)
Local code governing footing depth, foundation, and concrete requirements in Ohio.
-
American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC)
Professional standards and finishing guidance for concrete contractors.
