Commercial Concrete Services

Concrete Built for Business

Commercial concrete work requires different standards than residential projects. Your business facility needs concrete that can handle heavy loads, constant traffic, and daily wear without breaking down. Whether you're building a new warehouse, expanding your shop, or replacing failing parking areas, the concrete work needs to be done right the first time because business interruptions cost money.

We've worked with businesses throughout Bell Gardens on projects ranging from small retail storefronts to large industrial facilities. We understand the challenges commercial properties face. You need contractors who show up on time, work efficiently, and minimize disruption to your operations. We coordinate with your schedule, work during off-hours when necessary, and complete projects on deadline. Our crews are experienced with commercial building codes and inspection requirements.

Commercial concrete also demands higher performance specs than typical residential work. Thicker slabs, stronger concrete mixes, and specialized finishes ensure your investment lasts through years of heavy use. We help you determine what level of construction your facility needs based on how you'll use the space, then we build it to those specifications without cutting corners.

Commercial Concrete Services We Provide

Different types of businesses need different concrete solutions. Here's how we handle the most common commercial projects.

Warehouse and Industrial Floors

Warehouse floors take tremendous abuse from forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy equipment. We pour slabs that are typically 6 to 8 inches thick with heavy-gauge wire mesh or rebar throughout. The concrete mix uses higher strength ratings than residential concrete. For areas with very heavy point loads like rack posts or machinery, we thicken the slab or add structural reinforcement. We also plan control joint layouts carefully so joints fall where they won't interfere with rack systems or traffic patterns.

Floor flatness matters in warehouses. Forklifts and automated equipment work better on level surfaces. We use laser-guided screeds and power trowels to achieve the flatness specifications your operations require. For high-traffic areas, we can apply hardener treatments that make the surface more resistant to abrasion and impact damage.

Retail and Office Spaces

Retail stores, offices, and service businesses need concrete that looks good while performing well. We pour smooth, level slabs suitable for various floor coverings. For businesses that want polished concrete floors or stained concrete as the finished surface, we use finer finishing techniques and may add decorative elements. Entry areas get special attention since they create first impressions for customers. We can incorporate stamped or decorative concrete that adds visual appeal while standing up to foot traffic.

Parking Lots and Loading Areas

Your parking lot is often the first thing customers see when they visit your business. Cracked, uneven pavement looks unprofessional and creates liability issues. We pour concrete parking lots and loading docks designed to handle vehicle traffic. Parking areas typically use 5 to 6 inch thick concrete. Loading docks where trucks back up repeatedly need 6 to 8 inches. We plan proper drainage so water doesn't pool, and we can add curbing to direct traffic flow and define parking spaces.

Sidewalks and Exterior Flatwork

Commercial properties need sidewalks and walkways that meet ADA accessibility requirements. We ensure proper slope, width, and surface texture. Building entrances need ramps with correct grades and compliant handrails. We also handle concrete aprons, equipment pads, and dumpster enclosures. These areas might not be glamorous, but they need to function properly and stand up to their intended use.

Foundations for Commercial Buildings

New construction and additions require foundation work in Bell Gardens that meets commercial building codes. We work from engineered plans, coordinating with structural engineers and building inspectors. Commercial foundations often involve thicker slabs, deeper footings, and more complex reinforcement than residential projects. We handle everything from small shop additions to large warehouse buildings. Our experience with commercial inspections means projects move through the approval process smoothly.
