CONCRETE WORK

Concrete Work
When hiring a concrete contractor find out if you need a permit - just in case.

contractors kern county concrete doesn’t have to be gray and boring – look into colors and textured finishes and include these options when you post your project. Copy and paste pictures you’ve seen online or links to specific websites you like.

Make sure to include your address so contractors can find your house on google maps – they can then gauge measurements and give you a more detailed price.

Ask about drying time – if your contractor is laying a new driveway, how long will it be before you can A) walk on it and B) drive on it?

Remember too that concrete that can dry too quick especially in hot weather can be prone to cracking afterwards – make sure your contractor’s work is warrantied against such cracking and specify time frames.

Also, when laying paths, say from the front gate to the front or back door consider if you want it stepped or ramped and how smooth or textured you want the finish. We would always advise you to go for textured for non-slip purposes and ramped if you have older people in the house or even for strollers and kids bokes etc.     

Also ask about rebar specifications and foundations not just for bigger areas such as patios and driveways but for narrow pathways too.

Hiring anyone to carry work in your home can be daunting. Letting strangers into your home is even more scary. While many homeowners may go into detail about pricing and materials and quality of work – they rarely ask their contractor for their license details and never ask about their possible criminal background or if their staff are felons.
