How to Hire a Concrete Contractor

We may be nearing the fall season, but some of you might already be thinking about your spring home improvement projects and what you’d like to cross off your to do list. A new concrete patio, sidewalk, or steps might be on your list, so here are a few things to look out for when hiring a concrete contractor in St. Louis and the surrounding areas.


Ask Around the Neighborhood
If any of your neighbors or friends have had concrete work done recently, ask them about the St. Louis concrete contractor they used. Get some word of mouth recommendations, which is almost always the best way to find a service provider like a concrete contractor. And when you contact one to start inquiring about services and prices, ask if the contractor has any testimonials.

Look Online for Reviews
The internet is a great place to do some research about your concrete contractor. Check websites like Yelp, Angie’s List and Google+ Local to see what kind of reviews your concrete contractor got from previous customers. You can also visit their social media accounts to see what they're posting about and get an idea of their experience and knowledge of concrete construction.

Request Samples of Work 
Ask the concrete contractor if he has any samples of his work he can show you. Make sure the examples of concrete work he provides match up to what you want and expect. Take the time to ask questions about the contractor’s professional experience too. We share many pictures of our completed projects on our website for easy reference.

Get an Estimate Before Hiring

One emotion you don't want to feel during what should be an exciting time in your life though, is fear.
