About our Hilo concrete contractor business
A locally owned concrete contractor based in Hilo, Hawaii.
Homeowners in Hilo deserve to understand their concrete job before anyone pours, so we explain every choice on site in plain words.
Planned before the truck shows up
Concrete holds onto every choice for years, so we sort out drainage, joints and the ground underneath before a single truck is booked.
I learned concrete at a big commercial outfit, pouring slabs and footings on jobs where every step got planned and checked before a truck showed up. In 2020 I started this business to bring that same planning to homes and small properties around Hilo. Most of our calls come from homeowners planning a driveway, patio, slab or foundation job.
When I come out to look at your job, I ask plenty of questions about how you use the space, what gets parked on it and what's bothering you about the old slab, whether that's cracks, sinking or pooling water. Then I sketch it out with you, including where the control joints go, the cuts that give a slab a straight place to crack.
We're based in Hilo and also work in Hawaiian Paradise Park and other cities nearby. Rainfall around here can change a lot over a short drive, so I don't assume anything about drainage until I've seen where the water runs on your lot. You'll find everything we pour, from driveways to footings, on our home page.
We'd rather explain a choice to you now than have you find out about it the hard way years later.
Habits we bring to every job
Choices explained before we pour
Before we pour, we walk you through the base, the drainage and the joints in plain words, so you know what you're paying for and why it's there.
Licensed, insured, permits checked
We're licensed and insured, and we look into permits while we plan your job, so when one's needed we handle the paperwork with the county and tell you what it involves.
One person, quote to pour
The person who looks at your job and writes the estimate is on site with the crew doing the work, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the pour.
The base comes before the finish
When a budget gets tight, the first thing people want to cut is the digging and packing under the slab, because nobody sees it once the concrete is down. I'd cut a fancy finish first. The subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, does more to keep a driveway from sinking and cracking than anything on top.
Your estimate, explained line by line
I write your estimate on site and go over it with you before I leave. It spells out what's included and what isn't, like removal or hauling, which makes it easy to compare against other bids. Some things only show up once the old slab comes out, and when they do, I'll tell you before we keep going.
