About our concrete contractor business in Yakima
Concrete work in Yakima, done my own way
I spent years at a desk in an office before I quit to learn concrete on a flatwork crew here in the valley, pouring driveways, patios and sidewalks. After a few seasons pouring for other outfits, I started United Yakima Concrete in 2013 so I could do the work the way I thought it should be done.
Today we're best known for driveways, patios and foundation work, mostly for homeowners, with some small businesses and builders too. Concrete is hard to fix once it's down, so I care most about the part you can't see when we're done. That means a base that's dug out and packed, and footings set to the frost depth the City of Yakima uses, 24 inches below grade, so the ground can't heave them in winter. I'd rather lose a job by giving you a straight answer than win it with one I can't stand behind. You can see what we pour on our home page, and when you're ready, get in touch.

Our values, from your side of the job
Here's what working with us looks like for you, from the first visit to the day you can walk or drive on the new concrete.
The same person from estimate to pour
I come out myself to look at your job and write the estimate, and I'm standing there when the concrete goes in. Nothing gets lost between what we talked about and what our crew pours.
An estimate you can compare line by line
Your written estimate spells out the mix, the prep and what's included, so you can set it beside other bids and see the real differences. The price mostly turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish you pick.
The base comes before the finish
When a budget gets tight, the base is the first thing people want to trim, because nobody sees it on day one. I won't cut it, because a slab poured on raked dirt settles and cracks along with that dirt, and no finish on top can fix that.
Permits sorted before we set a date
Some addresses fall under a city and some under Yakima County, so I check which office covers yours and what it asks for on your job. We handle the permit paperwork for our part of the work and tell you plainly where things stand before we pick a pour date.
Licensing and insurance for concrete work
Washington contractor registration
Licensed and fully insured. Washington requires every construction contractor to register with the state Department of Labor & Industries and to be bonded and insured, with a $30,000 bond for general contractors or $15,000 for specialty contractors, plus liability coverage of $200,000 public liability and $50,000 property damage, or a $250,000 combined limit. Ask any contractor you're weighing to show you that registration before you sign.
City of Yakima business license
The city requires a business license for any business located or doing work inside city limits, home-based ones included. It's worth asking about when you compare contractors for a job in town.
