Commercial Concrete Services for Houston Properties

A cracked entry walk or a sunken parking stall is more than an eyesore. It's a trip hazard, a drainage problem, and the first thing tenants see. As a commercial concrete contractor in Houston, Slabs on Grade fixes those problems and builds new concrete for cars, trucks, and heavy foot traffic.

Owner Jesus Jimenez started the company in 2010 with one truck, and it's still owner-operated. We take jobs from a single curb repair to a full parking lot. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate and a clear written scope.

Who We Work With

Concrete for the People Who Run Properties

Commercial clients need clear pricing, a schedule they can share with tenants, and a site that stays safe during the work.

Flatwork

Commercial Flatwork in Houston

Flatwork is any concrete that lies flat on the ground: sidewalks, curbs, parking stalls, dumpster pads, loading aprons, and equipment pads. It takes more abuse than almost anything else on a business property.

A concrete dumpster pad is a good example. A loaded garbage truck sets its front wheels on that pad over and over. If the pad is too thin or the base is soft, it cracks and sinks. Curbs take hits from tires and delivery trucks, so concrete curb repair is a common small job on older centers.

We build flatwork for Houston ground. Much of the area sits on expansive clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries. So we remove soft soil, compact the base, set steel rebar, and cut control joints so cracks form where we plan them.

Architectural Concrete

Architectural Concrete in Houston

Architectural concrete stays in view and is part of the design: a textured entry wall, a plaza with exposed stone, or a colored walk to the front door. It has to be as strong as any slab and look right, because every flaw shows.

  • 01

    Exposed Aggregate Finishes

    We wash off the top layer of cement paste to show the stone underneath. The rough surface grips well when wet and hides wear. It suits plazas, entry walks, and patio seating.

  • 02

    Form Liner Textures

    Form liners are molds set inside wall forms. When the forms come off, the concrete keeps the pattern, such as a wood-grain board look. It dresses up retaining and screen walls without adding stone.

  • 03

    Stamped and Colored Concrete

    Stamping presses a pattern into wet concrete, and color can be mixed in or added on top. See our stamped and decorative concrete page for options.

  • 04

    Built to the Design Plans

    Architects often call for a sample panel so everyone approves color and texture before the real pour. We work from your drawings for finish, joints, and sealer.

Part of Every Job

Demolition and Site Work Within Your Project

Most commercial jobs start with something that has to come out. We don't sell demolition or dirt work on their own. They're part of your concrete project, so one crew owns the job from tear-out to final pour.

  • Concrete Demolition and Haul-Off

    We saw-cut clean edges, break out the failed concrete, and haul it away. Clean cuts let new concrete meet the old walk, curb, or slab without a ragged seam.

  • Grading and Dirt Work

    We grade so water drains away from buildings, remove soft soil, add crushed stone base where needed, and compact it. On Houston clay, this step has a lot to do with how long the concrete lasts.

How It Works

Our Commercial Concrete Process

From Estimate to Walkthrough

Here's what happens from your first call to the final walkthrough.

  • Free On-Site Estimate

    We walk the site with you and check drainage, soil, and traffic. Then you get a written estimate.

  • Scheduling and Permits

    We pick dates around your tenants, customers, or events, and pull any permits first.

  • Demo and Removal

    Old concrete is saw-cut, broken out, and hauled away. The work zone is blocked off.

  • Grading and Forming

    We grade for drainage, compact the base, and set forms to the right height and slope. ADA routes get a slope check before the pour.

  • Reinforce, Pour, and Finish

    Rebar goes in on chairs so it sits inside the slab. Then we pour and finish. In Houston summers, an early start helps the concrete set evenly.

  • Cure, Reopen, and Walkthrough

    We cut control joints, clean up, walk the work with you, and tell you when it's safe to reopen.

Pricing

What Affects Commercial Concrete Cost in Houston

We don't post one price per square foot, because commercial jobs vary too much. These are the things that move the number most:

  • Size and Thickness

    Truck routes need thicker, stronger concrete than car stalls or walkways.

  • Demolition and Haul-Off

    Breaking out and hauling old concrete adds labor, equipment, and dump fees.

  • Base and Drainage

    Soft clay, low spots, or water that pools mean more grading and base material.

  • Steel and Mix

    Heavier loads call for more rebar and higher-strength concrete.

  • Access and Phasing

    Keeping part of a lot or entry open means more, smaller pours.

  • Finish and Permits

    Broom finish costs the least. Decorative finishes, coatings, and permit work add to it.

Our quote form lets you pick a budget range, from under $5,000 to $40,000 and above, so we can suggest the right scope. Every estimate is free.

Questions and answers

Commercial Concrete Questions From Houston Clients

Straight answers from our crew. Still have a question? Call us and talk to a real person.

How much does commercial concrete cost in Houston?

It depends on size, thickness, demolition, base work, finish, and access. A dumpster pad repair costs far less than a full parking lot. We visit the site and give you a free written estimate. Our quote form uses budget ranges from under $5,000 to $40,000 and up.

Can our business stay open while you work?

In most cases, yes. The work can often be split into sections so an entry, a drive lane, or part of the lot stays open. We plan the order of work with you so you can tell tenants and customers what to expect.

Do you pull permits for commercial concrete work?

Yes, when the job needs one. Sidewalk work in the City of Houston right-of-way goes through Houston Public Works, and we check local rules for your address. Texas building projects that cost $50,000 or more must also be registered with TDLR for accessibility review. The owner or design team usually handles that, and we build to the approved plans.

Do your sidewalks and parking areas meet ADA rules?

We build accessible routes to the 2010 ADA Standards. A walking surface can't be steeper than 1:20 in the direction of travel or 1:48 across. Accessible parking spaces and access aisles must be 1:48 or flatter. We check slopes before the pour. Texas projects also follow the Texas Accessibility Standards.

What is architectural concrete?

Architectural concrete stays in view and is part of how a building looks. Finishes include exposed aggregate, form liner textures, stamping, and color. It must be as strong as plain concrete, but it takes extra care in forming and finishing, because every flaw shows.

How thick should a commercial concrete slab be?

It depends on the loads and the soil. Walkways need the least, and truck routes and dumpster pads need the most. On new buildings, the engineer sets the thickness and steel. On repair and flatwork jobs, we look at what failed and recommend a thickness that fits the traffic.

Do you warranty commercial concrete work?

Yes. Our written workmanship warranty covers structural defects caused by improper installation, sub-base failure, or workmanship. It doesn't cover tree roots, outside soil events, or misuse. We go over the full terms before you sign.
