Get at least three written bids on your project, and make sure you're comparing bids based on identical plans, specifications, and scope of work. Do not automatically accept the lowest bid. In fact, you should beware of any bid that is substantially lower than the others. It probably indicates that the contractor made a mistake or is not including all the work quoted by their competitors. You may be headed for a dispute with your contractor if you accept an abnormally low bid. It also is possible that a low-bidding contractor may cut corners or do substandard work to make a profit.
When the contractor comes to your house to give you a bid, ask to see their pocket license, along with a picture I.D. Make sure the person you're dealing with is the same person on the license.
Contractors also can hire salespeople to work for them. Those people must be registered with CSLB as a Home Improvement Salesperson. Ask to see the registration card, along with a picture I.D.
REMEMBER Contractors are required to have their license number on their business card and on all bids and contracts. Seeing a license number doesn't necessarily mean the license is valid. Check the license status. Although an unlicensed operator may give you a low bid, the risks of possible financial and legal consequences outweigh any benefits a lower bid may seem to offer.

While pouring your own concrete slab may look like a simple DIY project, it’s not recommended if you don’t know what you’re doing. Even small mistakes in site preparation, concrete mixing, or concrete finishing can cause significant structural problems requiring costly repairs.
Under most conditions, freshly placed concrete will dry and become solid enough to walk on 24 hours after placement. However, it will take 28 days for your concrete to fully cure and attain its maximum strength, durability, and wear resistance.
Concrete Etc provides a formal bid package which includes a warranty letter, insurance certificate and a detailed itemized proposal to every potential client.
Driving on a concrete slab too soon can cause cracking and other permanent damage. To give the concrete ample time to harden and gain strength, you should wait at least 7 to 10 days after placement before driving and parking a standard vehicle on a new concrete driveway.
If you're having new concrete poured, there are several measures your concrete contractor can take to significantly reduce the possibility of cracking. These include using a concrete mix with a low water-cement ratio, placing the concrete on a well-compacted subgrade, installing control joints where needed, and properly curing the concrete. (These measures will help minimize the possibility of cracking however there is no guarantee that the new concrete will not crack.)
