  • Do you pour concrete all year long?

    Yes, our concrete company in Portland, OR can pour concrete all year. We use specially formulated accelerants to cure the concrete faster during colder months.

  • How long until we can drive on our new concrete?

    In our experience as a driveway construction contractor in Portland, OR, we have found that one week is usually plenty of time to let your new concrete slab completely harden before you drive or park your vehicles.

  • How far do you travel?

    Pacific Stars General Contractor LLC does not charge any additional travel fees as long as you're within the Greater Portland Metro Area. Please call our concrete company in Portland, OR for more information if you reside outside of that area.

  • Is a permit required for residential or commercial properties to pour concrete?

    A permit may be required depending on the area where you want to add the concrete. In a right-of-way area such as a sidewalk, you would need a permit. According to Forbes, some cities or counties require a permit to add a patio to a home, and the cost starts at around $150. However, not all cities require a permit for patios, and projects like adding a driveway to an existing residential home won't require one either. Contact our concrete company in Portland, OR, and we can help you determine which permits your project will need.

  • Can you pour foundations when it's raining?

    Yes, we pour concrete foundations all year. Unless the outside temperatures go below 33 degrees, we are able to get the job done. In fact, we use hot water and an accelerant to cure the concrete as though temperatures outside are like the warmer months. Contact us today, and we'll find you a foundation contractor in Portland, OR that can get the job done.
