Concrete work on Kennewick homes
Where a driveway has cracked across or a patio has sunk toward the back door, the cause is usually underneath, in the subgrade, which is the dirt and gravel the slab rests on. If that was only raked level, it settles and takes the concrete with it, so we dig it out and pack it before we pour.
New slabs and foundations get one more check here. FEMA says Benton County's flood maps were last updated in 1977 and it's been working with local partners on new ones, and the city manages building in floodplains, so we check with the city about your lot before a foundation goes in.

Back patios that fall gently away from the house, with joints cut where we want any cracks to go.

Pressed patterns and color for patios and walks when you want the look of stone without loose pieces.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths replaced where a section has heaved, sunk or turned into a trip hazard.

When a garage floor has cracked or flaked, we tear it out and pour a new slab thick enough for the car.
Decorative concrete
Colored, stained or exposed-aggregate finishes for spots where plain gray concrete doesn't suit the house.
Concrete retaining walls
Poured walls that hold back a slope in your yard, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push them over.

Interior slabs for basements, shops and additions, poured flat and level so flooring goes down cleanly.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks with a surface that grips wet feet and drains water off instead of leaving puddles.

Before your Kennewick concrete project starts
Price mostly follows size, how much old concrete comes out, how deep the base has to go, slab thickness and steel, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the season, any permit or inspection, and curing, the wait while new concrete hardens before it takes feet or tires. Your written estimate spells out what's included.
In Kennewick, the city's Building Safety Division issues building permits and handles inspections. When your job needs a permit, we check with them for your address and sort it out before work starts, and we tell you what to expect along the way.
- Where water runs now, so the new slab carries it away from the house.
- Whether the old concrete comes out, and where a truck can reach.
- Base before finish, because a fancy surface won't save a slab that sinks.
- Which days you can do without the driveway while it cures.

Questions about concrete work in Kennewick
Do I need a permit for a concrete project in Kennewick?
City guidance says a retaining wall up to four feet, or a detached structure like a shed up to 200 square feet, typically needs no permit when it sits inside the setbacks from your property lines and off easements. Driveways and patios aren't named either way, so we check with the city for your address before work starts.
Will my concrete job in Kennewick need city inspections?
Yes, if the work needs a building permit. The city requires inspections at certain stages of any permitted job, requested through its building office, so we plan the work around those visits rather than pouring before an inspector has seen what they need to see.
Does a concrete contractor working in Kennewick need a city business license?
Yes. City guidance says a business located in Kennewick or doing business there needs a city license as well as a state license. Kennewick takes part in the state's Business License Service, so the license runs through the Department of Revenue, but the city still approves or denies it.
Do concrete contractors have to register with Washington L&I?
Yes. Washington requires every construction contractor to register with the Department of Labor & Industries and to be bonded and insured. The registration number has to appear on ads, estimates and bids, and on residential jobs of $1,000 or more the contractor must give you the state's disclosure notice to customer.
Will a new concrete driveway in Kennewick crack like my old one?
Concrete can still crack, but the base and the joints decide where and how much. We dig out and pack the ground the slab sits on, slope it so water runs off, and cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along instead of a random one.
