Terms and conditions

Website numbers versus your written price

Any dollar figure on these pages is a planning range, not a quote. When an estimator visits, the estimate is free, broken out line by line, and holds for 30 days. That written sheet is the price that counts.

Deposits, balances and the unexpected

Nothing starts until you've signed a written estimate. On slabs, foundations and stamped jobs we may ask for a deposit up front to cover materials. The rest is due when the job's finished, unless your estimate spells out something different.

Sometimes the ground surprises us: the rock runs deeper than we expected, or the pad needs fill once it's cut. When that happens we stop, price the extra in writing as a change order, and wait for your okay before carrying on.

Getting the site ready for us

Before we dig, we call Texas 811 so the public utilities get marked. The private lines are on you: irrigation, septic, low-voltage wiring, propane and pool plumbing. Tell us where they run, because the locators won't. On the scheduled day, trucks and equipment need a clear way in. Sod or plants inside the work area get cut out and set to one side, but we can't promise they'll survive the move.

Rain, freezes, heat and curing

Concrete is poured when the weather lets us. Rain, a freeze or a brutal August afternoon can push a pour to another day, and we'd rather wait than hand you a bad slab. Afterward, you agree to keep cars off the fresh flatwork for a full seven days and anything heavy off it for 28, and to stick to the curing directions we hand you.

The honest truth about cracks

Every slab cracks somewhere. Our job is to decide where, and we do it with control joints, steel and a well-built base. Fine shrinkage cracks, a slight color shift between one pour and the next, and small variations in surface texture are normal and aren't defects. Structural cracking, one side of a joint sitting higher than the other, or water pooling against your house: if any of those shows up within a year of finishing, we fix it and you don't pay.

The city, the county and your HOA

If your project needs a permit from the City of Georgetown or Williamson County, we file the application ourselves, show it as a line on your estimate, and schedule the work once it's approved. HOA sign-off is yours to get, though we'll give you whatever drawing and spec sheet the committee wants to see. If an engineered foundation plan is required, a licensed engineer you hire supplies it unless your estimate says we're covering that.

Who's behind the name

Georgetown Concrete Works is run locally as a concrete contractor out of Georgetown, Texas. The crews doing the work carry general liability insurance, and we'll hand you the certificate before anything starts if you ask. Texas has no state-level license for concrete contractors; instead, anyone doing permitted work registers with the City of Georgetown.
