Concrete work we do in Kirkland, WA
Precision Kirkland Concrete is a concrete contractor in Kirkland, WA, with 16 services that run from driveways, patios and garage floors to footings, foundations and parking lots. People usually call about cracks, a slab that's sinking, water pooling where it shouldn't, or new work they want poured right the first time. The price mostly turns on the size of the area, how much old concrete comes out, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on permits, the prep and curing, which is the wait before new concrete can take weight. The written estimate I send after seeing your site gives you your own figure.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway poured on a dug-out, packed base and sloped so water runs away from the garage and the house. Good when the old one is cracked or sinking.
Concrete patio construction
A plain concrete patio for the backyard, set on a packed base and pitched slightly away from the house so rain doesn't sit against your walls.
Stamped concrete services
Concrete pressed with patterns and color to look like stone, brick or slate. It suits patios and walks where you want that look on a single slab.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks and side paths with a broom finish, a light ridged texture that gives shoes grip when it's wet. We also replace heaved or broken sections.
Garage floor concrete
A new or replacement garage floor, poured to carry a car's weight and pitched toward the door so drips and rinse water run out.
Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or textured finishes for the concrete people see first, like an entry or a front walk. We go over how each one wears before you choose.
Concrete retaining walls
Poured concrete walls that hold back a slope and give you level ground, with drainage behind them so water doesn't build up and push.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for basements, shops and outbuildings, poured flat and finished smooth or ready for the flooring you plan to lay on top.
Concrete pool decks
The slab around a pool, given enough texture for wet bare feet and sloped so splash water runs off instead of back into the pool.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps poured with every step the same height, so nobody catches a toe. Rebar, steel set inside, holds them together if they crack.
Slab foundation building
A slab that serves as floor and foundation for a garage, shop or addition, poured over subgrade, the ground it sits on, dug out and packed first.
Foundation installation
Poured foundation walls for additions, outbuildings and new homes, formed to your plans so the framing that goes on top starts square and level.
Concrete parking lot building
Concrete lots and drive aisles for small business and rental properties, poured for the traffic they carry and graded so rain heads for the drains.
Concrete footings
The concrete pads and strips under deck posts, walls and additions, dug down to firm ground so the load doesn't sink with loose dirt.
Foundation raising
When part of a house or slab has settled, we lift it back toward level and deal with the soft ground that let it drop in the first place.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for a new doorway, a trench or a damaged section, so only the part that has to go comes out.
Why people hire us for their concrete
Most of what we do differently happens before the truck shows up. These are the habits behind every job, and what each one means for your driveway, patio or floor.
Same person at estimate and pour
I come out to look at your job, and I'm on site with our crew when we pour it. What we talk about in your driveway is what gets built, with no handoff in between.
Drainage and joints planned first
Before the truck shows up, we check where your water runs so the slab falls away from the house, and plan the control joints, cut grooves that keep cracks in lines we choose.
Permits filed or handled with you
When your job needs a permit, we can file it for you or help you file it. We plan the start around the approval and the inspections, so nobody's waiting on a poured slab.
Straight answers about your site
You hear what your site needs and what concrete can and can't do, even if that means a smaller job than you pictured. Call (425) 285-8195 and I'll tell you straight.

Call (425) 285-8195 or send the contact form with your address and a few words about the job. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out. Photos of the cracks or low spots help, but they aren't required.
Site visit and written estimate
I walk the site with you, look at the ground, the grade and where your water goes, and check which city or county office covers your address. Then I send a written estimate that spells out the prep, the slab and the finish. It's free, and there's no obligation.
Prep, pour and finish
Once you're set, our crew gets the ground and forms ready before the concrete arrives, digging out the soft dirt and packing the base. I'm on site when we pour. We finish the surface, cut the joints and leave the slab to cure without traffic on it.
Final walk-through
When the work's done, we walk the job with you and go over what you're looking at, joints and all. I'll tell you when it's ready to walk on and when it can take a car, and our crew cleans up before we leave. If something looks off to you, that's the time to say so.

Kirkland, the city we're based in
Kirkland runs along Lake Washington, and plenty of everyday life here happens outside. Families fill the playground, ballfields and swimming area at Juanita Beach Park, Marina Park downtown draws people to its beach and summer concerts near the shops and restaurants, and walkers, joggers and bike riders use the Cross Kirkland Corridor trail through Totem Lake.
We're based here and do the same work in the cities around it. On jobs in Kirkland we see a lot of cracked or settled driveways, patios that slope back toward the house and sloped yards that need a wall. Some Kirkland mailing addresses aren't inside the city limits, so a Kirkland address doesn't always mean Kirkland's rules apply, and that's worth knowing before anyone talks permits.

Questions about concrete work in Kirkland
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Kirkland, WA?
The cost of a driveway depends mostly on its size, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick, so I give you a number after I've seen it. A driveway also gets poured thicker than a walk because it carries cars, and that adds material. The driveway page goes into more detail.
Where can I save money on a concrete patio or driveway?
The finish is the safest place to save, because a plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work. The base is the part nobody sees on day one, which is why people want to cut it first, but you can't fix a bad base later without tearing the slab out. I'd cut the fancy finish before I'd cut the base.
How long until I can walk or drive on new concrete?
You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength while it cures. I'll give you the timing for your slab at the walk-through, and the start date depends on permits and prep, which we sort out at the estimate.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in Kirkland, WA?
Yes, Washington requires construction contractors to register with the state Department of Labor & Industries, and Kirkland requires a city business license for contractors working at job sites inside city limits. We're licensed and insured. On home jobs of $1,000 or more, the state also has registered contractors give you a disclosure notice to customers.
Can you pour new concrete over my old cracked driveway?
Usually not, because a new layer tends to crack and sink right along with the old slab underneath it. We break out the old concrete, fix the base that let it move and pour fresh. If only one section is bad, concrete cutting can sometimes take out just that piece.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
We work by one promise, your satisfaction, guaranteed. Part of keeping it is telling you before the pour what concrete can and can't do, like the fine cracks most slabs pick up over time, so the finished job doesn't catch you off guard.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
Some fine cracking is normal in concrete, but a packed base, control joints and rebar keep cracks small and in lines we chose instead of across the middle. Old slabs usually crack badly because the base was raked level instead of dug out and packed, the joints were cut late or skipped, or the pour went down in midday heat and left a weak, dusty top.
Do I need a permit to replace a driveway in Kirkland, WA?
Yes, Kirkland requires a Public Works permit for driveway replacement and for any work in the public right of way, the strip along the street the city controls. You can reach Public Works at 425-587-3800, and retaining walls over four feet tall or soil and fill work that changes drainage need permits too. For anything else, the city's Development Services Center can tell you before work starts.
