Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete Services can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Concrete costs in Gresham typically range from $6-12 per square foot for basic installations and $12-18+ for decorative work, depending on project complexity, site conditions, and specifications. Factors affecting cost include thickness requirements, reinforcement needs, site accessibility, and finish options. Clay soil sometimes requires additional base preparation that increases costs. We provide detailed estimates that break down all cost factors so you understand exactly what you're paying for. Most residential driveways cost $4,000-8,000 while patios range from $2,500-6,000 depending on size and features.
Most residential concrete projects complete in 1-3 days from start to finish. Small patios or sidewalks might finish in a single day. Larger driveways typically take 2 days for excavation, base preparation, and pouring. Foundations may require 2-3 days depending on complexity. Commercial projects vary by size but we coordinate schedules to minimize business disruption. Weather affects timing in Gresham's climate—we avoid pouring in rain, extreme cold, or high heat. After installation, concrete needs 24-48 hours before light use and 7 days before heavy loads.
Late spring through early fall (May-October) offers ideal conditions for concrete work in Gresham. Summer provides warm temperatures and lower rainfall that facilitate proper curing. We can pour concrete year-round with appropriate precautions, but winter projects require cold-weather protection and may have slower curing times. Spring and fall work well but require watching weather forecasts closely to avoid rain during critical finishing periods. We schedule projects based on extended forecasts and your timeline needs, adapting our methods to current conditions.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties covering materials and workmanship on all concrete installations. Residential projects typically include 3-5 year warranties depending on application. Commercial work includes warranties appropriate to project specifications and engineering requirements. Our warranties cover structural defects, material failures, and installation issues. Normal wear and damage from external factors aren't covered. We stand behind our work and address any warranty issues promptly. Proper maintenance and following our care recommendations help ensure warranty coverage and extend concrete lifespan.
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate with builders, architects, and engineers on residential and commercial projects. We work from architectural plans and engineering specifications to ensure concrete installations meet design intent and structural requirements. Our team understands construction sequencing and coordinates our schedule with overall project timelines. We attend job meetings, communicate proactively about any issues, and maintain the collaborative approach that keeps projects moving forward. Whether you're building new or renovating, we integrate smoothly with your project team.

They poured our commercial parking lot on schedule and within budget. The surface is holding up great under constant delivery truck traffic. Their understanding of commercial concrete requirements and Gresham building codes made the permit process smooth. Highly recommend for business concrete projects.
