Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes, and we plan for it. We phase the work so parts of your site stay usable while others cure, and we schedule pours around your busiest hours. For some jobs that means early starts or working in sections so you are not shut down.
Do you make entrance walks and ramps ADA compliant?
We pour entrance walks, ramps, and transitions to the slopes, widths, and detailing accessibility requirements call for. Getting the grades and cross-slopes right is part of the layout, so accessibility is built into the pour rather than fixed afterward.
How thick should a commercial loading or truck area be?
Areas that see truck and heavy vehicle traffic need more thickness and reinforcement than a walk or a car parking area. We match the section and rebar to the loads the area will carry, which is why loading zones and drive approaches are poured heavier than the surrounding flatwork.
Can you handle parking areas and drive approaches?
Yes. We pour parking pads, drive approaches, and connecting flatwork sized for the traffic they carry, with jointing and drainage planned so large areas control cracking and shed water away from the building.
Will you provide a written bid for our property manager?
Every commercial job gets a written, itemized bid that spells out the scope, thickness, reinforcement, and access work. That way owners, managers, and tenants can review and approve the same clear scope before anything starts.
How do you keep large commercial slabs from cracking?
Large areas need control and expansion joints laid out so the concrete can move without random cracking, plus a compacted base and grades that keep water off the surface. We plan the jointing and drainage as part of the design and use an air-entrained mix that handles Ohio freeze-thaw.
