Ballpark concrete price – Kansas City

It seems like more and more people are getting ahold of us and planning a project and the just need a starter price so they can start to build a budget.  I completely understand and would like to offer our new “ball park pricing” feature.  Simply fill out the form and select the products and services you would like some pricing on and we will get back to you within 24 hours (except weekends) and put together some #’s for your project.  Remember this is just a ball park. We could be way off.  All specialized services will still have to be looked at.

Will Kansas City concrete contractors continue to give FREE estimates???!!

This is a great questions. With gas prices reaching “all time highs” everyday it obviously gets more and more expensive to drive all over town to give customers “free” estimates. Let me tell people something….they are not free. Estimates never have been. Someone has to pay for the gas and time it takes to do estimates. Contractors have built this in as part of their price of the job. With the prices of gas going up so does the price of the goods and SERVICES. Here are some things you as a homeowner can do to help or should consider.

• If your not serious about getting the work done ask for a number you can use for budgeting purposes. (I still would like to get in front of these people. As a contractor I always thought it was good to start working with people on their project from the earliest stage possible).
• Be patient. Don’t expect the contractor to drop everything to drive across town for your estimate. Everybody is trying to be a little more efficient.
• Be present for the appointment. This is one of my pet peeves. “Can you swing by and put the estimate in my mailbox?” If you can’t take 10 minutes out of your day to meet the contractor they won’t spend the time to drive across town (unless they are real hard up). Early on in my career we would do be willing to write something up and drop it off without seeing the customer. We never got one job by this, and most of the time the customer was unresponsive to any follow up. What a waste of time and money.
