Do I need a permit to install a concrete pad in Columbus?

Usually, yes. Columbus has rules about building stuff on your property. But don't worry! We know all about these rules and can help you get the right permits. We'll handle the paperwork so you don't have to stress about it.

Can you install a concrete pad in winter?

We can, but it's tricky. Cold weather can make concrete take longer to dry and can affect how strong it is. We might need to use special concrete mixes or cover the pad to keep it warm. If you can wait until spring, that's often better. But if you need it done in winter, we know how to do it right.

How soon can I use my new concrete pad after it's installed?

You can walk on it after about 24 hours. But for heavy stuff like cars or RVs, you should wait about a week. The concrete keeps getting stronger for about a month. We'll give you specific instructions based on your pad and what you're using it for.

Will my concrete pad crack?

All concrete can crack a little bit. But we do a lot to prevent big cracks. We make sure the ground underneath is solid, we use the right mix of concrete, and we put in control joints. These are like planned cracks that help prevent surprise cracks. With our methods, any cracks should be small and not cause problems.

Can you add color or texture to my concrete pad?

Absolutely! We can add color to the concrete mix or apply stains after it's dry. For texture, we can make it smooth, give it a broom finish for more grip, or even stamp patterns into it. Just let us know what you want, and we'll make it happen.

How much does a concrete pad cost?

It depends on a few things: how big the pad is, what shape you want, if you need special drainage, and if you want any colors or textures. We can't give an exact price here, but we promise to give you a clear, honest quote after we look at your property. No surprise costs, we promise!

Can you remove an old concrete pad before installing a new one?

Yes, we sure can! We have the right equipment to break up and remove old concrete. We'll haul it away and recycle it if possible. Then we'll prepare the area properly before pouring your new pad.

How does proper drainage affect my concrete pad?

Proper drainage is super important! If water pools around or under your pad, it can cause big problems. It can make the ground shift, which can crack your pad. In winter, water can freeze and expand, pushing up on the concrete. Good drainage keeps your pad level and crack-free for years. That's why we pay so much attention to it when we install your pad.

Our Step-by-Step Process

We don't just show up and pour concrete. We work with you every step of the way. Here's how we do it:

1. We Listen

First, we visit you and hear about your dreams. We look at your land and talk about what you want.

2. We Plan

Next, we draw up a plan just for you. We think about things like where water goes when it rains and how to make it last.

3. We Prepare

Before any concrete shows up, we get your land ready. We use our big machines to make the ground smooth and even.

4. We Drain

Water can ruin a good concrete pad. So we make sure it has somewhere to go. We're really good at this part!

5. We Pour

Now it’s time for the concrete. We ensure it’s perfectly mixed—not too thick and not too thin.

6. We Finish

We don't leave until everything looks great. We clean up and make sure you're happy.

Our Advantages

Why pick us? Here’s what sets us apart and makes us the ideal choice:

We're Drainage Experts

We know water is concrete's enemy. That's why we're so good at making sure water flows away from your pad. This means your concrete lasts longer and looks better.

We See the Big Picture

We don't just look at where your pad will go. We look at your whole property. This helps us spot problems before they happen.

We're Smart with Equipment

We have the right tools for every job. And we're smart about how we use them. This means we work faster and cheaper, saving you money.

We Think Long-Term

We don't just build for today. We build for years to come. Our pads are meant to last, saving you from costly repairs down the road.

Here's an example: We had a customer in Delaware who wanted a big pad for their RV. But their land was full of trees and on a hill. Other companies said it would cost a fortune. But we found a smart way to work with the land. We cleared just enough trees and used the hill to help with drainage. The result? A perfect RV pad that didn't break the bank.

At Double B Excavation, we don't just pour concrete. We solve problems and build dreams. And we do it in a way that's best for you and your land.
