Commercial Concrete Services

Why Businesses Choose Us

Commercial concrete work is different from residential. The stakes are higher, the schedules are tighter, and there's usually more money on the line. You need a contractor who shows up when they say they will, does the work right, and doesn't create problems that shut down your business.

We've worked with plenty of businesses around Highlands Ranch. Retail centers, office buildings, warehouses, restaurants, medical facilities, and more. We know how to work around your operating hours, coordinate with other trades, and get the job done without drama.

We're licensed, insured, and bonded for commercial work. We provide certificates of insurance, we pull permits, and we work with inspectors to make sure everything passes. This is basic stuff, but you'd be surprised how many concrete contractors can't handle the paperwork side of commercial projects.

Commercial Concrete Services We Provide

Here's what we handle for commercial clients:

• Parking lots and drive aisles
• Loading docks and truck aprons
• Sidewalks and ADA-compliant walkways
• Building entrances and storefronts
• Dumpster pads and containment areas
• Equipment pads for HVAC, transformers, and generators
• Warehouse and shop floors
• Concrete foundations and structural slabs
• Retaining walls and site work
• Repairs and maintenance on existing concrete

Every commercial project has different requirements. We'll work with your plans, engineer specifications, and local codes to deliver exactly what you need. If there are issues with the plans or site conditions, we'll bring them up before we start work so there are no surprises.

Parking Lots and Drive Aisles

Asphalt is common for parking lots, but concrete makes sense in a lot of situations. It lasts longer, needs less maintenance, and handles heavy loads better. For areas with constant truck traffic, loading zones, or places where oil and chemicals are common, concrete is often the better choice.

We pour parking lot concrete to the right thickness for your traffic loads. Light vehicle parking can use 5-6 inch concrete. Heavy trucks need 8-10 inches or more. We reinforce with rebar or mesh, we install proper joints, and we slope for drainage.

Drive aisles, fire lanes, and access roads all get the same attention to detail. We coordinate with striping contractors, lighting installers, and landscape crews to make sure the finished project works as a complete system.

Loading Docks and Industrial Work

Loading docks take a beating. Forklifts, pallet jacks, truck impacts, and constant traffic mean the concrete needs to be built tough. We use high-strength concrete mixes, extra reinforcement, and proper joint placement to create surfaces that hold up to industrial use.

Truck aprons and approach slabs need to handle heavy point loads without cracking or settling. We make sure the base is properly compacted and the concrete is thick enough for the loads it will see. These areas are critical to your operations, so we don't cut any corners.

Warehouse floors are another specialty. Whether you need a smooth trowel finish for forklift traffic, a rough finish for traction, or a polished concrete floor for retail or showroom space, we can handle it. Floor flatness specifications, joint layout, and surface tolerance all matter in commercial floor work.

ADA Compliance and Accessibility

Commercial properties need to meet ADA requirements for accessibility. That means proper ramp slopes, landing sizes, detectable warning surfaces, and clear path widths. We know the requirements and we build to code.

Ramps can't exceed certain slope ratios. Landings need specific dimensions. Surface textures need to meet slip resistance standards. We've done enough commercial work to know all these details and we build them right the first time.

If you're updating an existing property to meet current accessibility standards, we can help you figure out what needs to change and how to do it cost-effectively.

Working Around Your Schedule

One of the biggest challenges with commercial concrete work is timing. You can't always shut down for a week while concrete cures. We get that, and we plan accordingly.

For work that affects customer access or business operations, we can often phase the project so you stay open. We'll do part of the work, let that cure while you use it, then move to the next section. It takes longer overall, but it keeps your business running.

We can also work nights, weekends, or during off-hours if that's what your schedule requires. There's additional cost for off-hours work, but sometimes that's the only option. We're flexible and we'll work with you to minimize disruption.

For fast-track projects, we can use rapid-setting concrete that allows traffic in hours instead of days. This costs more but can save you significant downtime costs.

Repair and Maintenance

Commercial properties need regular concrete maintenance to stay safe and looking good. Trip hazards, cracks, spalling, and settling all need attention before they become bigger problems or liability issues.

We handle concrete repairs for commercial clients. We can grind down trip hazards, fill and seal cracks, replace damaged sections, or apply protective coatings. For properties with ongoing maintenance needs, we can set up a regular service schedule.

Proactive maintenance is always cheaper than emergency repairs. A small crack sealed today won't turn into a major replacement project next year. We can inspect your concrete, identify issues, and give you a maintenance plan with priorities and budget estimates.

Coordination and Communication

Commercial projects involve multiple contractors, property managers, building owners, and sometimes tenants. Clear communication makes everything run smoother.

We provide detailed proposals that spell out exactly what we're doing, what materials we're using, and what the timeline looks like. Once work starts, we keep you updated on progress and any issues that come up. If we need to coordinate with other trades, we handle that communication directly.

We document our work with photos and we provide all required paperwork at completion. Warranties, lien waivers, final invoices, and closeout documents all get delivered on time.
