Concrete questions, answered
What warranty do you offer?
Workmanship warranty terms are provided in writing with your estimate; ask your project manager and we’ll walk you through exactly what’s covered.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. MN Contractor Reg. #IR811805, and fully insured. We're happy to provide proof of insurance with your quote.
How much does a concrete driveway or patio cost?
It depends on size, access, base condition, and finish (broom, exposed aggregate, stamped). We provide free on-site estimates with firm written pricing; no guessing from photos.
When is concrete season in Minnesota?
Roughly April through November, depending on ground and air temperatures. Spring slots fill fast: quotes booked over winter get first place in the spring schedule.
How long before I can use new concrete?
Foot traffic after 24-48 hours, vehicles after about 7 days. Concrete reaches full design strength over roughly 28 days.
Will my new concrete crack?
All concrete moves; the craft is controlling where. Proper base compaction, correct thickness, reinforcement, and control joints cut on schedule keep cracking inside the joints; not across your slab.
Can I use salt on new concrete?
Avoid all de-icers the first winter: use sand for traction. After the first year, use a concrete-safe de-icer sparingly and reseal on schedule.
Do you handle permits?
We flag when your city requires a permit (common for driveway widening, right-of-way sidewalks, and larger shed pads) and coordinate the process with you.
Do you do repairs, or only new pours?
Both. Step resurfacing, crack repair, and apron-only replacement are routine work for us, and if a repair is smarter than replacement, that is what we will recommend.
