Terms and Conditions

Effective January 1, 2026

United Yakima Concrete, concreteyakima.com, office@concreteyakima.com

Agreeing to these terms

These terms apply when you use this website or hire United Yakima Concrete for work at your property. When you use the site, ask for an estimate or accept a written quote, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site or book work with us.

In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean United Yakima Concrete, and "you" means the person using the site or the property owner who hires us. You can read more about who we are on our About page.

What we do

We're a concrete contractor in Yakima, WA, licensed and fully insured. We do residential and commercial concrete work such as driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, garage floors, foundations, footings, retaining walls and decorative concrete. The services and cities on our home page describe what we usually offer. They aren't a promise that we can take on every job or that we only work in those cities.

The information on this site is general. It helps you understand the work, but it doesn't replace a visit to your property, because ground, drainage and access are different on every lot.

Estimates and pricing

Estimates are free and done in person, and you're under no obligation to hire us. We base an estimate on what we can see and measure at the visit. That includes the size of the area, the condition of the ground, any old concrete that has to come out, access for equipment and the finish you choose.

A written quote states the scope and price for the work it describes. Sometimes we find things nobody could see at the estimate, such as soft or wet subgrade, which is the ground the slab sits on, buried debris or old footings. When that happens, we'll stop and talk with you before doing extra work, and any change to the price or scope is agreed with you before that work goes ahead.

A quote is good for the period written on it. Material costs change, so we may need to update a quote if you accept it after it expires.

Before work starts, you need to tell us about property lines, private buried lines such as sprinklers or septic systems, and any HOA rules that apply to your property. If your job needs a permit or an inspection, your quote or contract will say who is responsible for getting it.

Scheduling, weather and cancellation

We give you a planned start date when you accept the quote, and we'll tell you if it moves. Concrete depends on the weather, so rain, freezing temperatures, extreme heat, late material deliveries or inspections can push a pour back. When that happens, we'll reschedule as soon as conditions allow.

Fresh concrete needs time to cure. That's the wait while it hardens and gains strength before it can carry weight. We'll tell you when it's safe to walk and drive on. Our work doesn't cover damage from using the concrete before then, including damage from people, pets, vehicles or sprinklers.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, call us at (509) 452-5002 or reach us through our Contact page as early as you can. If you cancel after we've ordered materials, prepared the site or started work, you'll pay for the work already done and for any materials we can't return, as set out in your written quote or contract.

We may cancel or postpone a job if site conditions are unsafe, if we can't get into the work area, or if a payment due before work starts hasn't been made.

Payment

Your quote or contract sets out the payment terms, including any deposit and when the balance is due. If it doesn't say otherwise, the balance is due when the work is complete.

If a payment is late, we may pause work until it's paid, and we may use any remedy the law allows to collect amounts that are owed.

Our guarantee and what concrete can't promise

Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Any specific written warranty for your job will be in your contract. If something about the work doesn't look right, call us and we'll come out and look at it.

Concrete can crack as it shrinks and as the ground moves with the seasons, even when it's built right. We cut control joints, which are grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, so that most cracking stays in those lines. We can't promise that a slab will never crack. Hairline cracks, slight color differences and small surface variations are normal and aren't defects.

Our guarantee doesn't cover damage from things outside our control. That includes ground movement beyond what the base was built to handle, water from downspouts or irrigation, tree roots, de-icing salts, loads the slab wasn't built for, and changes other people make after we finish.

Apart from what's written in your contract and our guarantee, this website and its content are provided "as is," without any other warranty, to the extent the law allows.

Limits on our liability

To the extent Washington law allows, United Yakima Concrete isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost use of a driveway or patio, lost income, or damage to underground lines or property that wasn't disclosed to us before the work.

Our total liability for any claim about a job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit.

If we disagree

If you have a problem with our work or a bill, call us first at (509) 452-5002, because most problems get settled with a conversation and a visit to the site. If we still can't agree, we both agree to try mediation in good faith before going to court, unless the law requires something different.

Any lawsuit about these terms or our work will be filed in the courts serving Yakima County, Washington.

Which law applies

These terms, and any work we do for you, are governed by the laws of the State of Washington.

If your signed contract and these terms disagree, the contract controls. If a court finds that any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest of the terms still apply.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version posted on this page applies from the day we post it. A change won't affect a written contract you've already signed.

If you have a question about these terms, reach us through our Contact page and we'll answer it.
