Concrete that fits the way you use your property in Orem, UT

It depends mostly on the size, how much old concrete we haul off and how much base work the ground needs, so I give you a figure after I see it. Extra thickness, steel and a stamped or colored finish raise the price, while a plain broom finish keeps it lower.

Usually the cheaper bid saves on the base, raking the dirt level instead of digging out soft soil and packing a firm layer for the slab to sit on. The base is buried on day one, which makes it the easiest place to cut, and it's the last place I'd cut, because a slab on loose dirt settles and cracks right along with it.

You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and I'll give you the timing for your slab at the estimate. Concrete needs curing time, a stretch of slow hardening after the pour, before it can carry a car's weight. Breaking out the old slab and any permit the city needs also shape the schedule, so we plan the work around when you need your car.

Yes, we're licensed and insured. I'm on site with our crew for the work, not just at the estimate, so the person who priced your job is there when it's poured.

We reply within one business day and set a time for me to come to your property for a free estimate, with no obligation. I look at the old concrete, ask how you use the space and work out why it failed, then walk you through what I'd do.

Yes, our promise is your satisfaction, guaranteed. Part of keeping it is being honest up front, so before you decide I'll tell you what concrete will and won't do and what the finished slab will look like.

It may get a few fine cracks, because all concrete shrinks a little as it hardens, but control joints, grooves we cut across the slab, give those cracks a planned place to go. We cut them in time, since joints cut late or skipped are how cracks end up in places nobody chose. The breakup and sinking that ruin old driveways usually come from a soft base or water running under the slab, which is why I find out why yours failed before we pour.

It depends on the job, so we check with the city before we schedule your work and take care of the paperwork and inspections when a permit is needed. A new drive approach, the part of a driveway that meets the street, needs an engineering permit from the city. For work the city's permit lists don't name, the city asks you to check with Community Development at 801-229-7198.
