Residential Concrete Contractors in Denver, CO

Had a concrete contractor take the deposit and stop answering your calls, or come out for a quote you never heard back about?

We pour driveways, patios, walkways, porches and pool decks for Denver homeowners, and handle repair, resurfacing and removal. We reply the same day during business hours. Before any work is scheduled, someone measures on site and you get a fixed written price, itemized, so the final bill matches the quote. The same skilled team plans, pours and finishes every project.

The work is done by a licensed and insured Colorado contractor carrying general liability and workers' compensation, pouring in the Denver metro since 2010. Call (720) 782-8086.

If this sounds familiar

"It has been 2 months since they took the deposit"

You paid a deposit, maybe the old slab even came out, and then your calls and texts stopped getting answered. Weeks go by. Here you reach us by phone or the form and we reply the same day during business hours, and you hold a written, itemized price before anything is scheduled.

"Said he would mail us a quote"

The contractor walked the job, said you would have a number within a week, and you never heard back. You called three more and got no return call. Call us and we set a time to measure. The written price follows that visit.

"It was for double what I agreed to"

The price was agreed over the phone or by text. The final invoice added extra labor and unforeseen issues nobody priced. A fixed written price, itemized after an on-site measurement, is how we keep the bill and the quote the same number. No hidden charges.

Will they take my deposit and stop answering?

It is the most common story in homeowner threads about hiring any concrete contractor. What you can hold us to:

  • We reply the same day during business hours.
  • Someone measures on site before any number is given.
  • You get a fixed written price, itemized, before work is scheduled.
  • Licensed and insured Colorado contractor with general liability and workers' compensation. Ask to see it, from us or anyone else.
  • Working in the Denver metro since 2010.

Will the final bill be higher than the quote?

Bills go up when the price was a ballpark, when nobody measured, or when extras were never priced. We measure first, then write the price down line by line: removal, base, reinforcement, the pour, the finish. You can hold it next to any other bid and see exactly where the difference is.

"Contractor said this is normal" and won't fix it

Some things about concrete really are normal: a fine crack along a control joint is what the joint is for. Cracks across the middle of a new slab, a surface that flakes off in the first winter, or water pooling against the house are not, and they usually trace back to what was done before the pour.

Every slab we pour gets a compacted base, steel or fiber reinforcement, an air-entrained mix, control joints at the right spacing and a slope away from the house. New pours cure before the first seal. The work is backed by a warranty.

What concrete costs around a Denver home

We do not quote over the phone, because the number depends on what we find on site. What moves it:

  • Size and thickness. A walkway costs less per foot than a driveway built thick enough for a truck.
  • Tear-out. Whether an old slab has to be broken out and hauled off first, and how much base needs rebuilding.
  • Access. A backyard patio reached down a narrow side yard takes more labor than a slab a truck can back up to.
  • Finish. Plain broom is the base. Color and exposed aggregate add to it. Stamped and decorative concrete runs $12 to $22 per square foot.

Whatever the job, the price is fixed and written after we measure.

What Denver does to concrete around your house

Roughly a hundred freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water in the surface freezes and expands, and that is what lifts the top layer off unsealed concrete. It is why the mix is air-entrained and why sealing matters more here than almost anywhere.

Mag chloride on every road. It comes home on your tires as brine and attacks driveways, aprons and garage slabs first.

Expansive clay. It swells with water and shrinks when it dries. A slab on a thin or poorly compacted base rides that movement and cracks along it.

A pour season, not a pour year. Exterior concrete runs roughly April through October. Outside that window, sometimes the right answer is to wait for spring. We'll tell you which it is.

What happens after you call

  • You call or send the form. We reply the same day during business hours.
  • We measure on site. We look at the old concrete, the soil and slope, and how we get to the work.
  • You get a fixed written price. Itemized, so you can see what you are paying for.
  • Work day. We protect your yard and haul off the debris.
  • The pour. Compacted base, reinforcement, air-entrained mix, joints and slope, then cure before any sealer.

They tore up my lawn and left concrete and rocks all over my yard

Deep ruts, a broken driveway edge and debris found after the crew leaves come up in almost every complaint thread. We protect your yard and haul off the debris.

It rained right after the pour

Rain on fresh concrete can leave a finish that is completely different from the rest and looks bad. Exterior pours in Denver run roughly April through October, and if the conditions are wrong for your job we will tell you it is better to wait.

"Told me they were licensed, insured, and bonded"

And then they were not. Ask for license and insurance before you pay anyone anything. If a contractor balks, that is your answer. Ours: a licensed and insured Colorado concrete contractor carrying general liability and workers' compensation.

Is the cheapest bid the safe one?

Often not. Ask every bidder the same three questions: what goes under the slab, what reinforcement and mix they use, and whether the price is written and itemized. A low number that leaves out the base is the one that costs more later.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

How should I pick a concrete contractor?

Ask for license and insurance and walk away if they balk. Get a written, itemized price after someone measures, not a ballpark. Ask what goes under the slab and what reinforcement and mix they use. And look at a slab they poured a few years ago near you.

What should I do when a contractor takes a deposit and stops answering?

Keep every text, email and receipt, send one written request for the work or the money back with a date, and look up whether they are licensed and insured. Then hire someone who replies before you pay anything: we reply the same day during business hours and give you a written price first.

Is it normal for contractors to leave debris after pouring concrete?

No. Forms, rocks, concrete spill and trash should leave with the crew. We protect your yard and haul off the debris.

Why would a concrete invoice be double the original quote?

Usually because the first number was verbal or a ballpark, nobody measured, or extras were added without a price. A fixed written, itemized price after an on-site measurement is how you avoid it.
