Do you do stamped concrete?	Our stamped concrete services can be included as part of our concrete installation package for residential or commercial buildings. We do not do concrete stamping as a stand-alone service.
Do you provide a guarantee on your concrete foundation?	We take extra effort to prevent concrete from cracking or shifting by installing dual-walled corrugated high-density polyethylene, Prinsco Proform. Proform is impact resistant and helps waterproof the foundation.
Why do you need to excavate before pouring concrete?	Excavation is critical for having a solid and stable concrete foundation. Concrete must be poured on ground that is firm, even, and dry to help prevent cracking, shifting, and structural damage.
How long will a concrete driveway need to cure?	There are many factors that impact the length of time for a driveway to be stable enough to drive on. We recommend at least 3 to 7 days depending on time of year, weather, and vehicle weight.
Are your workers qualified and reliable?	All of our projects are supervised by concrete professionals. Workers are trained through apprenticeships, on-the-job experience, and given opportunities to develop their skills in new areas whether that is driving heavy machinery, mechanics, or leading a team.
Will you install a driveway, patio or sidewalk?	Installing residential driveways, patios and sidewalks are projects we do as part of larger-scale commercial and residential excavation and concrete work.  On a case-by-case basis, depending on the size and location, we may install stand-alone driveway, patio and sidewalk projects, although typically we do not do that work separate from excavation or foundation services.
Can I rent a dumpster from you?	No, we do not manage dumpster rentals. We recommend searching online for a waste management and/or dumpster rental provider near you.
