How to choose the best concrete contractor
Concrete hides mistakes until they crack. Hire for prep, reinforcement, joints, and curing discipline — not the cheapest square-foot number.
- Verify license and insurance appropriate to your state and job size.
- Ask for recent pours of similar type — flatwork vs foundation vs structural.
- Compare written scopes — subgrade prep, base, rebar/mesh, mix, finish, joints, cure.
- Clarify weather contingency — hot/cold weather plans.
- Beware low bids that skip base or joints.
Flatwork vs structural
Driveways and patios demand finish and drainage detail. Foundations and structural elements demand reinforcement, inspections, and engineer coordination. Match the contractor to the work class.
Questions before the pour
- Mix design — psi, slump, air, and who supplies.
- Control joints — spacing and timing.
- Warranty — what cracking is considered normal.
