What Services Do Concrete Companies Offer?
Concrete Pouring
A concrete company can properly pour new patios, driveways, and more. First, the company chooses a concrete mix with proper curing times for the local weather conditions. After selecting the appropriate kind of concrete to use, the contractors will pour the concrete. Techniques such as vibration increase the density of the concrete by removing air pockets.
Concrete Cleaning
Professional cleaning involves a combination of chemicals, scrubbing, and pressure washing to eliminate stains, grime, contaminants, and dirt. This improves both the look and lifespan of concrete.
Concrete Sealing
Professional sealants protect sidewalks, slabs, and patios from the elements. Water, sun exposure, and freezing temperatures can damage concrete. Sealing concrete can help you save money in the long run by increasing your concrete's lifespan. Hire a professional to guarantee the protectant adheres properly.
Concrete Reinforcement
Contractors often add grids of steel bars or mesh before pouring concrete. This reinforcement provides a structural framework that reduces strain from vehicles and other heavy loads over time.
Concrete Repair
Concrete can weaken over time due to weather damage, poor installation, or normal wear and tear. A concrete company can assess and restore cracking, spalling, or eroding on concrete driveways, walkways, and more. Depending on the damage, contractors will use repair techniques like resurfacing, epoxy injections, rebar replacement, and patching. Severe damage may warrant replacement.

How To Choose a Concrete Professional
Review Portfolios
Ask to see examples of a provider’s past projects. The contractor's work history can help you judge whether you'd like to work with them or not.
Check Licensing and Insurance
Murray concrete contractors need an asphalt and concrete contractor license, which is regulated by the Utah Division of Professional Licensing. Make sure your contractor has insurance.
Look for Trade Group Memberships
Ask if your contractor is a member of any trade organizations, such as the American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) or the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC). Membership in these groups typically indicates a high standard of work and commitment to continued improvement.
Read Customer Reviews
Contractors with a long history of happy customers tend to provide quality work and customer service. Look at customer reviews on websites such as Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and ask people you know for recommendations.
Compare Multiple Quotes
Reviewing itemized estimates from at least three different concrete contractors will help you find the best price for your project. Be cautious of contractors who give extremely high or low estimates.
Ask About Warranties
Get warranty details in writing. Check that it outlines coverage duration, whether materials and labor are covered, and any exclusions.
