About our Mesa concrete contractor crew
How I learned concrete and started here
I learned concrete under an old-school boss who checked every edge and made us tear out anything that wasn't right. After years on his crews, I started Cornerstone Mesa Concrete here in Mesa in 2021. I still hold our work to his standard, because tearing out concrete costs everyone.
Homeowners call us for driveways, patios and slabs, and small property owners and builders call us for footings and foundations. On every job, the parts I care about most are the ones you won't see once it's done. One is the subgrade, the packed ground your slab sits on, because a slab poured on raked dirt settles with the dirt. The other is curing, the wait after the pour while the concrete gains its strength before anyone walks or drives on it. I'd rather tell you straight what to expect before we start than explain it after. You can see the rest of what we do on our home page.
What working with us looks like
These are the things you'll notice when we do your job, from the first visit to the day the slab is ready to use. Each one comes from how I learned the trade.
The person who bids it answers for it
I come out myself to look at the job and write the estimate, and I check in on site while our crew forms, pours and finishes. That way, what you hear at the estimate is how the work gets done.
A written estimate you can compare
Our estimates spell out what's in the price, like ground prep, removing the old concrete and hauling it away. You can set our bid next to anyone else's and see what each one covers.
Straight talk about cracks and pour day
Concrete shrinks as it dries, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, and we tell you before the pour what the finished slab can and can't do. If the weather's wrong on pour day, we'd rather move the pour, because a rushed slab is the one that gives you trouble later.
Licenses, insurance and permits for concrete work
- Arizona contractor license
- Arizona law only lets someone without a contractor license take casual or minor work on one project under $1,000, with labor and materials counted together, and not if the job needs a local building permit or is part of a larger job. Splitting a job into small contracts to stay under that line ends the exemption, so ask anyone bidding your driveway or patio whether they're licensed.
- Licensed and fully insured
- Licensed and fully insured. When a job needs a permit, we settle with you up front who pulls it and work to the inspections the city or county sets, which in Mesa go through the city's Development Services Department. If you're not sure whether your job needs one, ask at the estimate and we'll go over it with you.
