Question 1

How do I choose the right concrete contractor?

Accepted Answer

Look for a licensed, insured contractor with Google ratings from homeowners or commercial clients with similar projects. Concrete work is highly technique-dependent — check reviews specifically for surface quality, no cracking within the warranty period, and finish consistency.

Question 2

What should I expect to pay for concrete work in my area?

Accepted Answer

Concrete installation averages $6–$12 per square foot for standard residential flatwork (driveways, patios). Stamped or decorative concrete runs $12–$22/sq ft. Retaining walls cost $20–$50/linear foot. Concrete driveways for a typical home (600–800 sq ft) run $3,500–$9,000.

Question 3

How long does concrete work typically take?

Accepted Answer

Forming and pouring a standard driveway or patio takes 1–2 days. Curing time before light foot traffic is 24–48 hours; full vehicle traffic requires 7–14 days. Decorative or stamped work adds 1–2 days for finishing.

Question 4

What questions should I ask before hiring a concrete contractor?

Accepted Answer

Ask about their mix design (PSI rating for your application), reinforcement method (rebar vs. wire mesh), cure time and sealing schedule, warranty on cracking, and permit requirements in your municipality.

Question 5

Are concrete contractors on this directory screened?

Accepted Answer

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ranked by real Google ratings and review volume. No payment is accepted to alter rankings. Confirm contractor licensing and insurance directly before signing any contract.

Question 6

What if I have a bad experience with a concrete contractor?

Accepted Answer

Document all defects with photos and written records. Contact the contractor and invoke the warranty in writing. If licensing violations occurred, file with your state contractor licensing board. For payment disputes, consult a construction attorney or file a small claims case.
