Hiring tip

Concrete work requires proper permits for foundations, retaining walls, and structural slabs. Ask about soil testing, reinforcement specifications, and cure times. Weather conditions affect concrete work, so discuss scheduling contingencies upfront.

California law requires a contractor license for this type of work on projects valued at $500 or more (combined labor and materials). Hiring an unlicensed contractor for work requiring a license may void your consumer protections.
