Frequently Asked Questions
concrete contractor can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Frequently Asked Questions about Concrete
How long do concrete projects take in Camas?
Simple residential driveways or patios typically require 3-5 days from excavation to completion, plus 7 days cure time before use. Decorative stamped projects may add 1-2 days. Foundation work, retaining walls, or commercial projects vary based on complexity. Weather affects timing—we avoid pouring during rain or when temperatures drop below 40°F, common in Camas's wet climate.
Do you handle permits for concrete projects?
Yes, we manage the permit process through Clark County for projects requiring approval—typically foundation work, retaining walls over 4 feet, commercial slabs, and some residential structures. Permits ensure inspections at critical stages (base preparation, reinforcement placement, final inspection). This protects your investment and ensures work meets Washington building codes.
What makes concrete work in Camas different from other areas?
Camas's location along the Columbia River creates higher moisture levels requiring vapor barriers and proper sealing. Clark County's expansive clay soils demand thicker base preparation and proper drainage. Our 40+ inches of annual rainfall means drainage design is critical. Temperature swings require air-entrained concrete to handle freeze-thaw cycles. Standard techniques from drier or milder climates often fail here.
What warranty do you provide on concrete work?
We provide written warranties covering workmanship defects for 2-5 years depending on project type. This covers issues like improper installation, inadequate base preparation, or finishing problems. Normal concrete behavior like minor hairline cracks isn't covered, but structural failures from our workmanship are. We use quality materials and proper techniques to minimize warranty claims.
Can you match existing concrete on additions or repairs?
We can get close matches using tinted concrete, stains, or textured finishes, but exact matches are difficult since existing concrete has weathered and aged. New concrete starts lighter and darkens over 6-12 months. For additions, we often recommend borders or control joints that make the transition intentional rather than trying to hide it. Most homeowners find our blending techniques acceptable.
Do you work during Camas winters?
Yes, during weather windows. We monitor forecasts closely and schedule pours when temperatures will stay above 40°F for several days and rain isn't imminent. Cold weather requires special concrete additives, insulated blankets, and extended cure times. We work year-round but may need to reschedule pours if weather turns unfavorable. Spring through fall provides most reliable conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sidewalk Repair
Who is responsible for sidewalk repair in Camas?
Property owners are typically responsible for maintaining sidewalks adjacent to their property in Camas and most Washington cities. This includes repairs for cracks, trip hazards, and settlement. The city may issue violation notices requiring repairs within a specified timeframe. Failure to comply can result in fines or city-performed repairs billed to the property owner.
How much does sidewalk repair cost?
Grinding trip hazards costs $3-7 per linear foot. Slab jacking/leveling runs $5-15 per square foot. Complete sidewalk replacement costs $8-15 per square foot depending on thickness and access. A typical 4-foot-wide sidewalk section (25 linear feet) ranges from $800-1,500 for replacement. Trip hazard grinding is the most economical option.
Can you work around tree roots?
Yes, but it requires careful planning. Options include: installing root barriers, using flexible joints that accommodate movement, pouring thinner sections over roots, or routing sidewalks around major root zones. Sometimes tree removal is necessary if roots severely compromise sidewalk integrity. We coordinate with arborists when needed to protect valuable trees.
Do sidewalk repairs require permits in Camas?
Yes, sidewalk work in Camas public right-of-way typically requires permits through the city. This includes replacements and sometimes major repairs. Permits ensure inspections of base preparation, proper slope for drainage, and ADA compliance. We handle the permit process and coordinate required inspections with city officials.

We pride ourselves on delivering great results and experiences for each client. Hear directly from home and business owners who’ve trusted us with their concrete contractor needs.
We hired them for our stamped concrete patio after getting several quotes. Their attention to drainage details and explaining how Pacific Northwest weather affects concrete impressed us. The patio turned out beautifully and has held up perfectly through two wet winters. They completed everything on schedule and left our yard cleaner than when they started.
Jennifer M., Washougal
Our driveway had major settling and cracking issues from tree roots and poor drainage. Instead of just patching cracks, they diagnosed the real problems and fixed them properly. They removed the tree roots, repaired the damaged sections with matching concrete, and installed proper drainage. No more standing water and the repairs have been solid for three years now.
