Concrete Contractor in Portland, OR

Portland work is not the same work as a flat lot in the valley, and pretending otherwise is how people end up paying twice. On a steep street here we cut into the bank, poured a footing, stood the forms, tied the full mat of reinforcement and placed a concrete wall in one piece against the cut — then poured the pad at its foot in the same job, so there was no coming back a second time and no seam between two contractors' work. The other job in the city started with a machine and finished with a broom: we dug the back out, formed circular planter beds and a curving walkway, and placed a sand-finish surface bordered with a brick soldier course that the homeowner had picked. Between the two of them you can see the whole range on one page — excavation, formwork, reinforcement, structural placement and a decorative finish — which is the actual reason to call one outfit instead of three. If your lot slopes, tell us that first; it changes the estimate more than the square footage does.
