Question 1

How do I get an estimate?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the estimate form on our contact page. We'll schedule a walk-through at your property — we measure, assess soil and drainage, and give you a real quote. No phone guesses.

Question 2

What's your service area?

Accepted Answer

The Salt Lake Valley within 25 miles of West Valley City. We serve West Valley City, Taylorsville, Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, Herriman, Bountiful, Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, Murray, West Jordan, and South Jordan. Park City is outside our area.

Question 3

How long until you can come out?

Accepted Answer

We schedule walk-throughs based on current demand. When we set the walk-through date, we'll also discuss timeline for the actual work. Your start date goes in the contract before any deposit.

Question 4

Do you charge for estimates?

Accepted Answer

No. Estimates are free. The walk-through is free. You get a real quote with no obligation.

Question 5

Why is there a 300 sq ft minimum?

Accepted Answer

Below 300 sq ft, the fixed costs of mobilization — equipment, materials delivery, crew time — make the per-square-foot cost unreasonable for you. We'd rather tell you honestly than quote a tiny job at a price that doesn't make sense.

Question 6

How much does a driveway cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on square footage, slab thickness, demo/haul-off, reinforcement, site access, and drainage corrections. We give you a real number after the walk-through — not a phone guess. See our pricing page for the full breakdown of cost drivers.

Question 7

Why isn't your bid the lowest?

Accepted Answer

If our bid isn't the lowest, it's usually because we're not cutting corners on base prep, reinforcement, or slab thickness. The low bid often becomes the expensive bid when the slab cracks and needs replacement. We do it right the first time.

Question 8

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

Financing is not currently offered. Payment terms are discussed during the walk-through and written into the contract.

Question 9

What does the written start date mean?

Accepted Answer

Your start date goes in the contract before we take a dollar of your deposit. It's a specific date — not 'sometime next month.' If weather forces a change, we call you the day before.

Question 10

What about weather delays?

Accepted Answer

Utah weather affects pour timing — we schedule around the weather window, not against it. If weather forces a schedule change, we communicate the day before. You're never left wondering if we're showing up.

Question 11

How long does concrete take to cure?

Accepted Answer

Foot traffic: 24–48 hours. Light use: 3–5 days. Vehicle traffic: typically 7+ days. Full design strength: 28 days. We give you the specific timeline for your project based on weather and mix.

Question 12

What's the payment schedule?

Accepted Answer

Payment terms are discussed during the walk-through and written into the contract. Final payment comes after you walk the finished job with the owner and are satisfied — not before.

Question 13

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Concrete driveways, foundations, flatwork/slabs, patios, and RV pads. We don't do stamped or decorative concrete, retaining walls, drains, or pavers — those aren't current services. We focus on what we do exceptionally well.

Question 14

Do you do small repairs?

Accepted Answer

Our minimum project size is 300 sq ft. Below that, we're not the right fit. For small patch repairs, a handyman or bagged concrete is more appropriate.

Question 15

Do you work on commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

We're residential-focused — driveways, patios, RV pads, and foundations for Valley homeowners. We don't currently take commercial work.

Question 16

Can you do stamped or colored concrete?

Accepted Answer

No — stamped and decorative concrete are not current services. We focus on broom-finish concrete done exceptionally well. If you need stamped, we can point you to someone who specializes in it.

Question 17

Will my concrete crack?

Accepted Answer

Concrete will crack — that's a fact. The question is where. Control joints tell the concrete where to crack so it cracks cleanly along the joint, not randomly across the surface. Proper base prep, reinforcement, and joint placement manage cracking. We can't eliminate it, but we manage it.

Question 18

What about winter pours?

Accepted Answer

We schedule pours around the weather window. Pouring too late in the season — when overnight temps drop below freezing — risks improper cure. We plan for this and won't pour in conditions that compromise the concrete.

Question 19

What if I'm not happy with the work?

Accepted Answer

The final step of our process is a walk-through with the owner — you walk the finished job before final payment. If something doesn't meet the Tier Mountain Standard, it gets fixed. Final payment comes after you're satisfied.

Question 20

Concrete vs pavers in Utah?

Accepted Answer

Concrete is one solid slab — no weed gaps, no heaving, low maintenance. Pavers offer more design flexibility but shift, heave, and grow weeds in freeze-thaw. Over 5+ years in Utah, concrete is the lower-maintenance, lower-cost option. See our full comparison.

Question 21

Broom finish vs trowel finish?

Accepted Answer

Broom finish gives texture (traction for walking and driving). Trowel finish is smooth (looks slick but is slippery when wet). We recommend broom for any surface you'll walk or drive on — driveways, sidewalks, patios, RV pads.

Question 22

RV pad vs gravel parking?

Accepted Answer

Gravel is cheaper upfront but ruts, sinks, and weeds over time — especially under heavy rigs on Utah clay. Concrete is one pour, done right, lasts decades. Over 5 years, concrete is the lower-cost option. See our full comparison.
