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. Then, contractors will pour the concrete so that it cures evenly, and use techniques such as vibration to ensure strength and uniformity.
Concrete Cleaning
Concrete cleaners use several tools to revitalize your concrete, such as brushing, cleaning solutions, and pressure washing. Cleaning makes your concrete look nicer and last longer.
Concrete Sealing
Professional sealants defend sidewalks, slabs, and patios from the elements. Water and sun exposure can crack and discolor concrete. Sealing concrete can help you save money in the long run on concrete repairs. An expert will apply the sealant evenly and make sure it attaches properly.
Concrete Reinforcement
Contractors often install grids of steel bars, rods, or mesh before pouring concrete. This reinforcement provides a structural framework that minimizes damage from vehicles and other heavy loads over time.
Concrete Repair
Factors like weather and normal wear gradually compromise concrete. This can lead to problems ranging from minor fractures to large chunks breaking off. A concrete company can fix structures such as concrete driveways and walkways. Techniques like epoxy injections, resurfacing, rebar replacement, and patching can restore appearance, strength, and functionality to distressed areas. This saves you from having to redo the whole structure.

How To Choose a Concrete Professional
Review Portfolios
Request examples of a provider’s past work. The contractor's work history can help you determine whether you'd like to work with them or not.
Check Licensing and Insurance
Concrete contractors need a contractor license from the Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Make sure your provider is properly bonded and insured.
Look for Trade Group Memberships
Membership in a trade organization shows that the contractor is committed to quality work and continued education. 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 companies on websites such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Trustpilot and read negative and positive reviews. Reviews indicate work quality and customer satisfaction. You can also get recommendations from friends and family.
Compare Multiple Quotes
Reviewing estimates from at least three different contractors will help you find the best price for your project. Ensure the estimates include both labor and material costs, and be wary of anyone offering very high or low rates.
Ask About Warranties
Get warranty information in writing. Make sure it outlines coverage length, materials and labor coverage, and any exclusions and limitations.
