A-1 Cement, Inc. is owned and operated by Gary Drobot who got his experience working along side his father, Richard Drobot, at Dick's Cement. In 1989, Gary opened his own business A-1 Cement. 

 

In the early years, A-1 Cement, Inc. did mostly commercial business working with Clafton and Keating General Contractors installing cement for McDonald's renovations.  The high quality work done on those jobs led to complete flat work installations for Arby's, Taco Bell, and White Castle restaurants.

​

Over the past 34 years A-1 Cement has continued to provide high quality cement work throughout southeast Michigan. Today A-1 Cement has as many residential customers as it does commercial.

​

It continues to grow using the proven best practice of tool jointing all its cement work. Tool jointing is a far superior technique to saw cutting because it allows ice to work itself up and out without pushing the slabs apart which is common with the saw cut cement.

 

A-1 Cement, Inc. recommends a stone base instead of  sand. Your cement is only as good as its base. Stone will not wash out and is better for underground drainage.   A-1 also uses a six man crew.  Many cement contractors use a three or four man crew.  Having six men on an installation allows us to use less water.  Water weakens cement and contributes to spalling (chipping or cracking).
