Q: What kind of mix should I use for my pour?
Q: What are my concrete color options?
Colored concrete is simple thanks to our integrated Davis Color System. Davis Colors are strong, durable, and last as long as the concrete. There are bold and intense premium colors, standard colors that add less than a dollar per square foot, and subtle shades for any budget. Colored concrete is a beautiful enhancement for your home. Call our dispatch, or sales office, or stop by our office for a color chart and price list.

Q: How do I choose the right contractor?
1) Check the contractors references.
2) Visit some examples of the contractors work.
3) Enure that the contrator is licensed.
4) Make sure you have a contract with the contractor listing the scope of work.
5) Don’t always take the cheapest bid.
Q: When and how should I order or cancel my pour?
Though we’re often able to provide same-day delivery, we recommended that you contact our dispatch office at least five (5) days in advance of the projected pour date to determine the availability of trucks and delivery times. Summertime and Saturdays are the busiest times for home projects, so be sure to call as far in advance as possible. Once the concrete delivery has been scheduled, should you need to cancel the concrete delivery for an reason, you will need to contact the dispatch office a minimum of TWO HOURS (2) prior to the scheduled delivery time. Should the order already be batched for delivery and proceeding to the job site as ordered, cancellation will result in the full amount being billed to the customer due to the perishable nature of the concrete, and the inability to direct the load to another job site.
