How to hire a concrete contractor

  1. Ask about base prep. Proper gravel base and compaction prevent settling.
  2. Confirm thickness and reinforcement. Get slab thickness and rebar/mesh in writing.
  3. Discuss control joints. Joints control where cracks occur.
  4. Ask about curing and sealing. Proper curing improves durability through freeze-thaw.
  5. Check drainage. Slabs should slope away from the house.

Red flags to watch for

  • No base preparation
  • Will not specify thickness
  • Adds water to make concrete easier to finish
