Garage floor cracked, dusty or holding puddles? We pour a new slab and time each finishing step so it wears well and drains.
Garage floor concrete in Redmond means placing a new slab in your garage, then finishing, jointing and curing it so you end up with a hard surface that holds up to cars, tools and everyday use.
Most people call Groundbreak Redmond Concrete Company because the old floor has cracked across the middle, sunk near the door, gone dusty on top or started holding puddles instead of letting water run out. We're based in Redmond and work in the cities around it, and before I quote anything I want to know why the old slab gave up, because paying to pour the same mistake twice isn't a bargain. The price mostly moves with the garage's size, whether the old slab has to be broken out with concrete cutting, how much soft dirt underneath needs digging out and packing, and whether you plan to coat the floor later. The schedule turns on the weather, the tear-out and what the city asks for, and when I come out to look, you'll know what you're paying for before we start.
I come out for the estimate myself and ask how you use the garage before I measure anything. Our own crew does the work with me running the job, so the person who planned your floor is standing there when the truck arrives.
We've been in business since 2013, and I learned the trade by asking older finishers a lot of questions and breaking up old slabs to see what went wrong. On a garage floor, that means looking under the old one before we price the new one.
We're licensed and insured, and the estimate spells out what's in the job, from the tear-out to the joints and the cleanup, so there's no guessing about what the price covers once the crew shows up in your driveway.
That's our promise on every garage floor we pour. If something about the job doesn't sit right with you, tell me and we'll talk it through. To get started, call (425) 285-8618 or send the form on this page.
Send the form or call (425) 285-8618 with your garage's size, whether the old slab comes out and whether you might coat the floor, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I'll come out myself for a free estimate on site, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
Redmond requires building permits for remodels, new garages and any work that isn't on its exempt list, and that list names driveways but says nothing about garage floor concrete, so the list alone doesn't settle whether your floor needs one. If you want to ask the city yourself, the Development Services Center takes calls at 425-556-7000 and email at permits@redmond.gov. Before we set a date, we find out which office covers your address and what your project calls for, then tell you plainly who'll handle the permit and the inspections. On a permitted job, inspections get requested as the work goes and before anything is covered up, and debris has to go to designated facilities, with waste reporting done before the permit can get its final approval.
The ground matters as much as the paperwork. One site report in Redmond found glacial till soils, heavy in silt, that are hard to compact when wet, and it favored doing earthwork in summer and fall when the weather is drier, which is why I'd rather pack a garage base in a dry spell. A lot of the old floors we break out around here sit on base that was raked flat instead of packed, and we find the same thing when we pour garage floors in Kirkland and Sammamish.
A garage floor in the Puget Sound area usually costs about $4,000 to $8,400 for the whole job, and that's a regional estimate, not our price. Where yours lands depends mostly on the garage's size, whether the old slab comes out and how much base work it needs. I'll give you your own number once I've seen the garage.
Usually it's timing, because national guidance on concrete floors says mistimed finishing, jointing or curing can lead to cracking, dusting, high or low spots and poor drainage. Whoever you hire, ask how their crew times each step after the pour. That plan shapes how well the floor wears and drains.
Settle it before the pour, because national guidance says experience shows coatings and coverings are best protected when the vapor retarder, a barrier layer, sits in direct contact with the slab. Once the concrete is in, that layer isn't going anywhere. Tell me at the estimate if a coating is even a maybe.
It can, since surface scaling, the top flaking off, is the most common kind of frost damage to concrete and it's linked to de-icing salt. National guidance says air entrained concrete, which has tiny air bubbles mixed in, holds up better to freezing and thawing when soaked and limits scaling from ice-melt chemicals. If salty slush drips off your car all winter, ask whether the mix is air entrained.
Start with a call or the form, with the garage's size handy and a word on whether the old slab comes out and whether you might coat the floor. I'll come out, look at why the old floor failed and sort out the permit question covered above before we set a date. From there it's a matter of picking dry enough weather for the ground work.
