Terms and conditions

Effective: November 2026

1. Published prices. Figures on this site are 2026 budgeting ranges for the Houston area. They are not offers. The price for your job is the one on your written estimate, which lists removal, excavation, base, slab thickness, steel, joints, finish, permit and cleanup on separate lines.
2. Estimate validity. A written estimate holds for 30 days from its date unless it states otherwise. Ready-mix and steel prices can move, so an estimate past that date is re-checked before the job is scheduled.
3. Approval. No work is scheduled until you approve the estimate in writing. Changes to size, thickness, finish or scope after approval are written up as a change before they are built.
4. Who performs the work. Concrete work booked through this site is performed by independent, insured crews. Texas does not license concrete contractors at the state level, and the City of Houston does not license general contractors. A certificate of insurance is available on request before work begins.
5. Permits and approvals. Where a job needs a permit, for example a driveway approach, curb, culvert or public sidewalk in the City of Houston or a Harris County right-of-way, the permit is filed for the address and its fee appears as its own line. HOA approval, where your deed restrictions require it, is obtained before forming. The issuing office's decision governs.
6. Site conditions. Estimates assume the conditions visible at the visit. Buried debris, an old slab under the grass, unmarked utility lines, or a culvert that must be upsized by the permit can change the price; any such change is shown to you in writing before it is done.
7. Weather. Pours are scheduled around rain and extreme heat. A rescheduled pour for weather is not a breach of the agreement.
8. Curing and use. You agree to follow the written curing and use instructions: no foot traffic for about a day, no cars for about seven days, no heavy trucks for about four weeks, unless the instructions for your job say otherwise.
9. Cracking. Concrete on Houston's expansive clay will crack. Control joints are placed to direct that cracking. Hairline cracks and color variation between new and old concrete are normal characteristics, not defects.
10. Payment. Small repairs are due on completion. Larger jobs may require a deposit at scheduling, as written on the estimate, with the balance due on completion. Card, check and bank transfer are accepted.
11. Website content. Guides and articles are general information. They are not an engineering opinion, a soil report, a permit determination or legal advice for your property.
