How long does it take to complete a commercial concrete project?

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of your project. A small equipment pad or dumpster area might take 2 to 3 days. A parking lot or building foundation could take 1 to 3 weeks depending on size. We provide a detailed schedule when we quote your project.

Can you work around our business hours?

Yes, we can schedule work to minimize disruption to your business operations. We often work nights, weekends, or early mornings for businesses that need concrete work but cannot close during normal business hours. Tell us your constraints and we will work with you to find a solution.

What is the difference between commercial and residential concrete?

Commercial concrete is built stronger to handle heavier loads and more intensive use. Commercial parking lots are typically 6 to 8 inches thick compared to 4 inches for residential driveways. Commercial concrete uses heavier reinforcement and higher strength concrete mixes. It also requires proper permits, inspections, and documentation.

Heavy-Duty Concrete for Commercial Use

Commercial concrete differs from residential work in several important ways. The loads are heavier, the usage is constant, and the consequences of failure are more severe. A cracked residential driveway is inconvenient. A cracked loading dock or parking lot is a liability issue that affects your business operations.

We build commercial concrete to handle these demands. That means thicker slabs, heavier reinforcement, higher-strength concrete mixes, and proper jointing. For parking lots and loading areas, we typically pour 6 to 8 inches of reinforced concrete compared to 4 inches for residential driveways. The base preparation is also more extensive to support heavier loads.

We also pay close attention to drainage. Commercial sites have larger areas of impervious surface, which means more water runoff. Proper drainage design prevents water pooling that creates hazards and damages concrete over time.

Working With Contractors and Developers

We frequently work as subcontractors on larger commercial and industrial projects. If you are a general contractor or developer building in the Alexandria area, we can be your concrete subcontractor. We coordinate with other trades, meet construction schedules, and deliver quality concrete work that passes inspections the first time.

We have our own equipment including concrete trucks, pumps, and finishing equipment. This means we control quality and timing instead of depending on outside suppliers who might not show up when scheduled.

Decorative Concrete for Commercial Properties

Commercial concrete does not have to be plain and industrial looking. Many businesses want attractive concrete that enhances their property's appearance and creates a positive first impression for customers.

We offer decorative options for commercial properties including stamped concrete for walkways and entry areas, colored concrete for visual interest, and exposed aggregate for texture and slip resistance. These finishes cost more than plain concrete but add significant aesthetic value, especially for customer-facing areas like storefronts, restaurants, and office buildings.

Repairs and Maintenance for Existing Commercial Concrete

In addition to new construction, we handle repairs and maintenance for existing commercial concrete. Cracked parking lots, settled sidewalks, damaged loading docks, and worn surfaces all create liability issues for your business. We can assess your concrete, recommend the most cost-effective solution, and complete repairs quickly to minimize disruption.

For parking lots with extensive damage, we can remove and replace sections instead of the entire lot. This targeted approach saves money while eliminating trip hazards and other safety concerns.
