Concrete Contractor
FAQ
Real questions from real Eastside homeowners. No spin, no sales talk — just straight answers about concrete cost, cracking, process, and hiring the right contractor.
Pricing & Cost
Most residential concrete driveways in the Sammamish/Bellevue area run $8–$15 per square foot. A typical 2-car driveway (600–800 sq ft) lands in the $6,000–$12,000 range.

Process & Timeline
Most residential flatwork projects take 2–4 days of active work: one day for prep and forming, one day for the pour and finish, and time for curing. Weather can affect scheduling. We communicate timelines clearly before we start.
Concrete Problems & Maintenance
Concrete cracks for several reasons: improper base prep, lack of reinforcement, no control joints, rapid drying (no curing compound), or freeze-thaw cycles. All concrete develops hairline cracks — that's normal. What's not normal is wide, structural cracking from poor installation. We minimize cracking with proper base prep, reinforcement, and correctly placed control joints.
Comparisons & Decisions
Each has pros and cons. Concrete is the most durable and lowest-maintenance long-term. Pavers look great and are repairable individually but cost more upfront. Asphalt is cheapest but needs regular sealing and has a shorter lifespan. For Eastside homeowners, poured concrete offers the best value over 20+ years. See our full comparison.
Hiring & Trust
We encourage every homeowner to verify any contractor they're considering — including us. You can look up any Washington contractor's registration, bond, and insurance status on the WA Department of Labor & Industries website (lni.wa.gov). We're happy to provide our details and answer any questions during your free estimate.
