Concrete ThatLasts, BuiltIn Boulder

Both are real options. Hairline and settlement cracks can often be routed, filled and sealed, and sunken slabs can be lifted back to grade. But when a slab is spalling, heaving or broken into pieces, patching is money thrown at a base problem. We tell you which one you have before you spend anything.

Every pour carries a written warranty covering our workmanship, including base settlement and joint failures. Concrete always develops minor surface cracking as it cures — that's physics, not a defect — but structural cracking, settlement or failed joints are on us, and the terms are on paper before you sign.

A driveway or patio is usually three to five working days: tear-out and haul-away, base prep and forming, the pour, then finishing and cleanup. Weather moves schedules — we don't pour into a freeze or a storm — and foundations run longer because of inspections.

You can walk on a new slab after about 24 to 48 hours. Wait seven days before parking a car on it and about 28 days before heavy trucks, RVs or trailers. Concrete keeps gaining strength for a month, and those first few days do most of the work.

Yes. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet the inspector on site. Boulder County and City of Boulder both have their own rules for right-of-way, driveway aprons and structural work, and we handle that paperwork as part of the job.

Boulder and the surrounding Front Range: Gunbarrel, Niwot, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, Erie, Longmont and Broomfield. If you're a little outside that, call us — we'll tell you honestly whether the drive makes sense for your project.

About twenty minutes on site. We measure, check grade and drainage, look at access for the truck, and talk through finish options. You get a written scope, a fixed price and a realistic start window. No deposit, no obligation, nothing ordered until you approve it.
