We understand that looking for a concrete contractor in Grand Rapids, MI can be stressful, which is why we always encourage our customers to ask us as many questions as they need.
We’re always more than happy to explain things in a way that’s easy to understand. Continue reading to learn what you should look for in a concrete contractor. Whether you need a new concrete driveway or a stamped concrete patio, you can only benefit from asking the right questions before you hire.
Equipment Ownership
Don’t forget to ask a concrete contractor whether they own their own equipment or rent. A contractor that has to rent equipment is subject to price fluctuations, making your estimate vulnerable to changes in the market. Eliminate unknown expenses by hiring our concrete contractors today. We own all of our own equipment and will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
We have a full line of excavation equipment, concrete placement buggies, and concrete tool trucks. Our concrete contractors in Grand Rapids, MI are fully equipped, which means you can hire us for the excavation and flatwork involved with your next project. This saves you the hassle of hiring more than one contractor for the same project.
Experience
During your search for a concrete contractor, you should ask about their prior experience with projects similar to yours. For example, a contractor who only has experience with concrete driveways may not have the same expertise we have in stamped concrete. You should also make sure you find out how many years a prospective contractor has been in the concrete business. For example, Kent Home Services, Inc. has been helping customers for over 60 years. Also, ask if a concrete contractor has an account set up with your local redi-mix supplier. If the contractor has to pay COD (cash on delivery), they may not have the financial stability to pay for supplies, subcontractors, or payroll which could lead to construction liens against your property.
Reputation
Check Google Reviews to find a concrete contractor with hundreds of positive 5-star reviews. A new company won’t have as many references, which makes it more difficult to determine whether they do quality work. Be aware if you get an estimate via text or Facebook messenger. A reputable concrete contractor will provide you with a written estimate with a detailed scope of work and a written warranty statement.
