The Foundation of Our Success

Founded in 2012, Chapin Concrete Contractors, Inc. began as a branch of Ashmore Concrete Contractors, based in Evans, GA, to meet the growing demand for high-quality concrete construction services in the Columbia, SC market.

Licensed as a South Carolina BD-5 Unlimited General Contractor, we offer expertise ranging from residential foundations to complex commercial and industrial structures, all backed by a commitment to excellence, safety, and unmatched customer satisfaction on every project.

Our experienced team, led by owners Christopher Marra and Jacob Stone, combines technical expertise with a commitment to delivering on time, on budget, and above expectations.  As we look to the future, our focus remains on providing exceptional service, safe practices, and superior results for our clients.
