Concrete questions, answered plainly

Concrete work in Arizona over the handyman threshold requires an Arizona Registrar of Contractors license; the work is done under a ROC-licensed contractor, with general liability and workers' compensation. The ROC number and certificate are on every estimate.

No. We come out, measure, probe the soil, check the approach and the HOA rules, and give you a written itemized price good for 30 days.

Estimates within two or three days across Surprise and the northwest Valley; most jobs scheduled two to four weeks out; leveling and small repairs faster.

Yes — City of Surprise right-of-way and building permits, Maricopa County, and the neighboring cities. It's a line item on the estimate.

Yes — Sun City Grand, Sun City West, Marley Park, Surprise Farms, Sierra Montana, Verrado and the rest. We prepare and submit the packet and don't pour until it's approved.

Nothing until you've approved the written price; then a third at scheduling, the balance when the job is finished.

Demo one day, base and forms one day, pour one morning — two to three working days, plus 7 days before a car and 28 for an RV.

Yes — 4 a.m. starts, chilled mix, evaporation control and wet curing. See our hot-weather guide. Summer concrete done right lasts as long as winter concrete.

Concrete shrinks and cracks somewhere; control joints make it crack there. Hairline cracks at joints are normal. Random cracks or ones with a lip mean the base moved — which is what our base prep and rebar prevent and our warranty covers.

Two years on workmanship — settlement, random structural cracking, spalling from a bad mix — in writing. Hairline cracking at joints and normal wear are excluded.

Yes — a walkway, a pad, a single panel, a foam lift. Minimum about $900 because the setup is the same.

Yes, hauled away and itemized per square foot.

Yes, through a third-party lender — see the financing page.

Yes. A person answers at any hour, every day, and books your estimate.
