About
The story behind Quality Concrete, the team that runs it, and why builders keep bringing us back.
The story
Scott Winkler poured his first concrete at fifteen. He tried to skip college for a full-time crew job. His parents insisted, so he poured concrete through college too. A back injury put him on the sidelines. Years later, after a chapter running a Two Men and a Truck franchise in San Antonio, Scott and Lisa found a small concrete company for sale up in Murfreesboro. He knew the work. Lisa knew the operation. They bought it in 2015, and rebuilt it around a principle Scott borrowed from his prior brand:
“We’re not a concrete company. We’re a customer service company that pours concrete.”
That mindset drives every hire, every investment, and every conversation with a builder.
How we run it
Oversight is a math
problem.
It is why our PMs run five communities each, not eighteen. It is why we have a dedicated QA and training manager whose only job is making our crews better. It is why we have a dedicated warranty manager whose only job is making it right. It is why we invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in new equipment and logoed PPE in the last year, so every guy on every crew shows up in the gear.
And it is why we grew the team 72% in three years without lowering the bar on who we hire.
The team
Family-run by Scott and Lisa Winkler, with roughly seventy on the crew today. Leadership includes Tyler in sales and business development, a full-time QA and training manager, a dedicated warranty manager, and senior project managers who know your name, your neighborhood, and your schedule.
What we are most proud of
And the fact that when a crew member has a sick kid at home, the guys on his job pull his phone out of his hand and tell him to go be with his family. That happened this year. A guy on the site handed his phone over, terrified he was being fired. Two of his teammates told him to go be with his wife and their baby in the hospital. He asked if he was still getting paid. The answer was yes. That is the company we built. Take care of your people, and your people will take care of your customers. Every time.
Careers
We hire for character first, skill second. We can teach concrete. We can’t teach showing up on time, telling the truth, or standing next to a teammate when the day gets long.
If you are a project manager, foreman, finisher, form carpenter, curb operator, or mason who is tired of the whiteboard schedule and the yell-at-you culture, we might be the shop that treats you like family. Send us your name and we will take it from there.
