How to hire a concrete work pro in United States
- Check state/local contractor licensing where required and proof of liability insurance
- Get thickness, PSI rating (3,000-4,000 typical residential) and reinforcement in the written bid
- Confirm sub-base: compacted gravel, not soil
- Ask about control-joint spacing and the finish
- For repairs, ask whether slabjacking/foam lifting is an option before accepting replacement
- Get 3 itemized bids with local references
Concrete flatwork often needs a permit for driveways, sidewalks and structural slabs depending on the municipality, and contractor licensing varies by state. Residential mixes are typically 3,000-4,000 PSI with higher air entrainment in freeze-thaw states.

Frequently asked questions
Does weather affect concrete pouring?
Strongly. Frost can ruin an uncured pour, extreme heat causes plastic shrinkage cracking, and rain marks fresh surfaces. Good contractors watch forecasts and will delay a pour; be suspicious of anyone happy to pour into bad weather to keep the schedule.
Why did my concrete crack, and is it a defect?
Hairline shrinkage cracks are normal; that is what control joints are for — they give cracking a straight place to happen. Wide, uneven or lifting cracks signal a base, reinforcement or curing problem. If a new slab cracks outside its joints within months, call the contractor back.
How do I find a good concreter in Coppell?
Look for crews who do concrete daily, not general handymen — finishing is a perishable skill and a two-hour window decides how the slab looks forever. In Coppell, ask for addresses of slabs poured a few years ago and look at the joints and edges, which is where poor work shows first.
How long does concrete take to cure?
You can usually walk on it after 24-48 hours, drive on it after about 7 days, and it reaches design strength at 28 days. Curing (keeping it damp, protecting from frost or extreme heat) in the first week matters more for durability than almost anything else.
What finishes can concrete have?
Broom (non-slip, standard outdoors), steel trowel (smooth, indoor), exposed aggregate, stamped/patterned, coloured and polished. Decorative finishes can add 30-100% to the base rate but replace the cost of a separate surface like pavers or tiles.
How thick should a concrete slab be?
Common rules of thumb: 75-100mm (3-4") for paths and patios, 100-125mm (4-5") for driveways and garage floors, more for heavy vehicles — always over a compacted sub-base with mesh or fibre reinforcement. Thin slabs on soft ground crack no matter how good the finish looks.
What should a concreting quote include?
Excavation and sub-base, formwork, reinforcement (mesh size or fibre dose), concrete grade and thickness, the finish (broom, trowel, exposed aggregate, stamped), control joints, curing method, and spoil removal. Any quote that just says 'supply and lay concrete' leaves too much undefined.
What does concrete cost per square foot in the US?
Plain gray flatwork typically runs $6-12 per sq ft installed; stamped, colored or exposed-aggregate finishes run $12-25+. Ready-mix supply alone is roughly $130-180 per cubic yard before labor.
