Expert Concrete Contractors in Friendswood, TX

Since our work is in demand, it is important to schedule your work as soon as possible since other clients may book us before your job.

Since every project is unique, there are many factors at play which determine your price. To build your concrete quote, we must consider the site’s access, removal of existing surfaces, excavation, grading, subbase preparation, reinforcements requirements, your desired finishing options and finally the material cost for each yard of concrete from the local mixing plant.

The national average for a single yard in 2024 is about $125 and rising. This amount will increase depending on delivery fees, your distance from the cement mixing plant, target PSI or if your requested delivery amount is less than a full truckload. Nationwide, on average, most ready-mix plants charge between $110 and $165 per yard.

Every project is different from the next. Smaller residential projects can be completed in a single day, while larger jobs can take several days or more. There are many factors that determine the length of any project, including access to the pouring site, temperatures and precipitation, excavation, grading or permitting requirements.

Hardscaping is a term that refers to all the elements of landscape design which are non-living. This would include your concrete, brick, stone, rock or wood surfaces–typically this means your driveways, patios and sidewalks. Landscaping refers to all the living surfaces, such as your lawn and garden area.

There are many ways to improperly install concrete. This is why it is important to hire professional concreters. Some of the most common signs of improper installations are spalling, cracking, honeycombing, bleeding and delamination. All these problems are greatly minimized by hiring an experienced contractor.

Yes! If your project involves replacing or removing existing surfaces, it will be spelled out in your contract and addressed during your site evaluation. Most projects do include the removal of all debris and only on some occasions would this not be included in a concrete bid. We also offer concrete removal as a stand alone service.

Typically, new surfaces only take 24 to 48 hours to be dry enough for walking or driving on but the amount of time it takes to fully cure is about 28 days. This process occurs as the cement mixed with water causes rock-like crystals to begin growing, which is what gives concrete its strength. Cold temperatures can complicate this by stopping that growth.

Not all projects require rebar. Many projects are better suited with fiber-reinforcement and each project is different. If your slab is thick enough, it is advisable to reinforce it with rebar. This will improve the strength of the common mass and reduce the odds of cracking, spalling or failure. This issue is addressed at every site evaluation.

Yes, but the new surface will inherit any flaws that are in the surface beneath it. These two layers will not naturally bond together, so a bonding agent would be required. Self-leveling overlays or toppings can save an old slab from being torn out, but it is important to make sure the new slab will not suffer from the conditions of the slab beneath.

Modern foundations are expected to have an average lifespan of at least 100 years. Surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks and patios that get heavy use are expected to last at least 50 years. Many factors determine the useful life of modern surfaces including temperature and moisture levels. Roman concrete poured over 2000 years ago is as strong as ever.

Cement plants have policies to reduce the problems associated with improper washouts. Washout facilities are located at ready-mix plants and, for larger projects, portable mobile washout stations are located near the worksite. These are never located close to storm drains inlets, open ditches or water courses.

It is usually safe to walk or drive on new surfaces within 24 to 48 hours after pouring. It is common to put caution tape around wet work that has not reached this point in the curing process. We will let you know when it will be ok to walk on your new surface, and will be able to provide that time when the concrete pouring is complete.
