About our concrete contractor business in Bellingham
How our Bellingham concrete work got started
I started out pouring walks and patios for neighbors on weekends, and I learned concrete work one job at a time. The calls kept coming, so in 2020 I made it a full business here in Bellingham. Most of our calls still come from homeowners planning a driveway, patio or set of steps, along with some small businesses and builders who need slabs, footings or lots.
What I care about most is the work nobody sees once the concrete is down, like the base, the drainage and the joints. Many homes with a Bellingham address actually sit outside city limits, so I check early whether yours falls under the city or the county, and we handle the permit paperwork with that office when the job calls for it. I also want you to understand what you're paying for, and we leave your property as tidy as we found it. Thank you for reading, and you'll find the rest of our work on the home page.

What working with our crew looks like
Here's what you'll notice when we take on your driveway, patio or slab, from the first visit to the day we haul away the last of the old concrete.
The person who quotes it pours it
I come out to look at your job and give the estimate myself, and then I work the pour alongside our crew. If a question comes up on pour day, the person who measured your driveway is standing right there to answer it.
An estimate you can compare
Your written estimate spells out the scope, including prep, removing the old slab and hauling it away. That way you can set it beside other quotes and see whether they cover the same work.
Time spent on the ground first
We dig out soft soil and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because a base that's only raked level settles with the dirt and takes the concrete with it. If your budget is tight, I'd rather keep a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives your shoes grip, than cut corners underneath.
Licenses and registration for concrete work
Washington contractor registration
Washington requires every construction contractor to register with the state Department of Labor & Industries and to carry insurance that protects the public. We're licensed and insured, so that protection is in place before our crew sets a single form.
Bellingham business registration
Every business doing work in Bellingham, whether the job is short or ongoing, has to register through the Washington State Department of Revenue and add a city endorsement to its state business license. That rule falls on the contractor, not on you.
