What Services Do Concrete Companies Offer?
Concrete Pouring
Concrete companies can pour several types of structures, such as new patios and driveways. First, the company chooses a concrete mix suitable for the local humidity and temperatures. Contractors will then pour the concrete. They use techniques such as vibration to remove air pockets for consistent thickness and durability.
Concrete Cleaning
Concrete needs thorough cleaning to get rid of built-up dirt and stains. Your contractor will use a mixture of scrubbing, cleaning solutions, and pressure washing to eliminate contaminants, stains, dirt, and grime.
Concrete Sealing
Applying sealant adds a protective layer on concrete that prevents moisture and UV radiation from penetrating the concrete. Sealed concrete looks nicer and lasts longer, saving you money in the long run. It’s important to get a professional to seal concrete, as an expert can guarantee the sealant goes on evenly and adheres properly.
Concrete Reinforcement
Concrete reinforcement involves adding steel bars or meshes before pouring the concrete. This reinforcement provides structural support to prevent strain from vehicles and other heavy loads over time.
Concrete Repair
Damaged concrete can be unsightly and possibly be an unsafe tripping hazard. A concrete company can inspect the extent of the damage and provide repair options. Depending on the damage, contractors will use restoration techniques like resurfacing, epoxy injections, patching, and rebar replacement. Severe damage may warrant replacement.

How To Choose a Concrete Professional
Review Portfolios
Request a portfolio of the concrete contractor's past work pouring, finishing, and restoring concrete. Look for pictures similar to the concrete project you need the contractor to do.
Check Licensing and Insurance
Concrete contractors need a license in California from the California Contractors State License Board. Your provider should be bonded and insured in case of injuries or accidents.
Look for Trade Group Memberships
Membership in a trade organization, such as the American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) or the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC) can indicate a high standard of work and commitment to continued improvement. Ask the contractor if they belong to one of these organizations.
Read Customer Reviews
Look up concrete contractors on sites such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Trustpilot and read negative and positive reviews. Reviews give you a sense of customer satisfaction. You can also get recommendations from friends and family.
Compare Multiple Quotes
Ask for an itemized estimate from at least three contractors. This helps you get a sense of the typical price in Rohnert Park for your project type. Ensure the estimates include both labor and material costs, and be wary of anyone giving very high or low estimates.
Ask About Warranties
Get any warranty information in writing. Check that it outlines coverage duration, materials and labor coverage, and any exclusions and limitations.
