What Services Do Concrete Companies Offer?
Concrete Pouring
A concrete company can pour new patios, driveways, and more. First, the contractors consider Rogers' weather and climate to use the best concrete for local conditions. Contractors will then lay the concrete. They use techniques such as vibration to eliminate air pockets for even thickness and durability.
Concrete Cleaning
Concrete cleaners use several techniques to revitalize your concrete, such as scrubbing, chemicals, and pressure washing. Cleaning helps your concrete look nicer and last longer.
Concrete Sealing
Sealing concrete guards structures, such as driveways and patios, from the elements. Moisture, freezing temperatures, and UV radiation can damage unsealed concrete. Sealing concrete can help you save money in the long run on concrete repairs or replacements. Bring in a professional to ensure the sealant is applied evenly.
Concrete Reinforcement
Concrete reinforcement involves inserting steel bars or meshes before pouring the concrete. The added framework absorbs pressure from heavy loads and vibrations.
Concrete Repair
Concrete can degrade over time due to weather damage, poor installation, or normal wear and tear. A concrete company can assess the damage and what repairs need to be done. Techniques such as rebar replacement, resurfacing, epoxy injections, and patching can restore appearance, strength, and functionality to distressed areas. This saves you from having to replace the whole slab.

How To Choose a Concrete Professional
Review Portfolios
Ask for a portfolio showing the concrete contractor's past work pouring, finishing, and repairing concrete. The contractor's experience can help you decide whether you'd like to work with them or not.
Check Licensing and Insurance
Concrete contractors need to be a licensed contractor in Arkansas, which is regulated by the Arkansas Contractor Licensing Board. Always verify that your contractor is properly bonded and insured, in case any injuries or property damage happen during the job.
Look for Trade Group Memberships
Membership in a trade organization demonstrates that the contractor is committed to a high standard of work and ongoing improvement. Examples of concrete trade organizations include the American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) or the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC).
Read Customer Reviews
Look up concrete contractors on websites such as Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and read a variety of reviews. Reviews indicate work quality and customer satisfaction. You can also get recommendations from friends and family.
Compare Multiple Quotes
Ask for a detailed quote from a minimum of three contractors. This helps you get a sense of the typical price in Rogers for your kind of project. Ensure the quotes list both labor and material costs, and be cautious of anyone offering very high or low estimates.
Ask About Warranties
Get warranty information in writing. Check that it outlines coverage length, whether materials and labor are covered, and any exclusions.
