Just tossing out a line to see if anyone on here has any contacts or recommendations to get a garage pad poured. Ive contacted a couple companies and would like to see if there are any other options before I commit

While I am at it if anyone has any contacts or recommendations for framing and finishing a garage I would like to hear!

Thanks

Avoid All Time Concrete, shoddy work

For anyone who can operate a shovel with any competence, I have good things to say about Steve's U-Cart. Last contractor I used was Crush Concrete. That was years ago but they were cheap, I had no complaints.

i'm more concerned about the whole process, proper ground preparation, and also finishing is a bit of an art form.

Depends on the project. There's a few different ones where the finishing is easy as hell.

Visit Concrete Innovations website. Lots of good videos/ideas, like garage trench drains! Especially after all the snow this year. Then call Mario ( 403-561-0643 )

Garage pads, sidewalks or patios. Forming and prepping is science. Finishing is the art. I recommend getting multiple quotes AND checking their references by going and looking at their previous work.

Kewltec did my last pad 30x40 excellent results , no strange cracking or heaving after 7 years, even with some big heavy tools on it. They are doing a 40x72 pour for me shortly.
