Concrete services in Renton, WA
Form & Pour Renton Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Renton, WA, offering 16 services for homes and other properties. Many calls start with a slab that cracked, sank or held water because the base or the slope was wrong, and we build new work so it sits firm and drains. The price usually turns on the size of the area, how much digging and base work your ground needs, how easy the site is to reach and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on weather, any permit and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it takes weight. Your own figure comes from a free estimate on site, written out so you can compare it with other quotes.
We build new concrete driveways on a dug-out, packed base, sloped so rain runs off instead of pooling by your garage door.
Want room out back for a table and grill? We pour concrete patios set just below your door and sloped gently away from the house.
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still soft, so a patio, walk or driveway can look like stone or brick in one slab.
We build concrete sidewalks and front walks with a broom finish, a light ridged texture that gives your shoes some grip when the path is wet.
A garage floor carries your car's weight, so we pour it over a packed base and slope it gently toward the door so water runs out.
Decorative concrete adds color, stain or a textured finish to a new patio, walk or pool deck for owners who want something warmer than plain gray.
What holds back a sloped yard? A concrete retaining wall on a solid footing, with drainage behind it so water doesn't build up and push on the wall.
We install concrete floors for basements, shops and other buildings, poured level over a packed base and finished smooth enough to use as is or cover later.
A pool deck stays wet all summer, so we give it a textured surface for bare feet and slope it so splash water runs away from the pool.
Concrete steps get used every day, so we form every step to the same height and depth, which keeps them even and comfortable underfoot.
A slab foundation is a single pad a garage, shop or small building sits on, poured to your plans with steel rebar inside to hold it together.
Building an addition or a new structure? We dig, form and pour the foundation walls it stands on, following the plans and any permit the job needs.
For property owners who need a small lot poured, we build concrete parking areas with the base and slope planned so rain drains off instead of standing.
Footings are the concrete pads under walls, posts and decks that spread their weight into firm ground, and we dig them to the depth your plans set.
Is part of your house or a slab sinking? Foundation raising lifts it back toward level, and if the cause calls for an engineer, we'll say so.
Need an opening for a door, a trench for a pipe or a cracked section taken out? We cut concrete with a saw for straight, clean edges.
Why choose Form & Pour for your concrete
Most of what makes a slab last is decided before the truck arrives. Here's how we handle the parts of a job you'll still care about long after we've gone.
Base work comes first
The base under a slab is hidden on pour day, so it's the first place a tight budget gets cut. We'd rather dig it out and pack it firm, because concrete settles with whatever it sits on.
Same person, estimate to finish
I come out myself to look at your job, measure and answer your questions, then check in with our small crew as the work goes, so the person who priced it is the one answering for it.
Permits talked through early
At the estimate we check which city or county office covers your address and go over any permit your job may need, so the paperwork doesn't catch you off guard. We can file it or help with yours.
Your yard and neighbors looked after
We keep rinse water and debris out of your drains, watch your lawn and plantings, and keep the street passable for neighbors while we work. When you're ready to talk about your job, call (425) 264-4089.
Our process from first call to walk-through
Here's what happens once you get in touch. We reply within one business day of your call or message, and the estimate costs you nothing.
Tell us about the job
You call or send us a message with a short description of what you have in mind, and we get back to you within one business day. I'll set a time to come out, and if you're not sure we work in your area, that's a fine thing to ask on the first call.
I visit and write it up
I come out, look at the site and ask how you plan to use the space, because a driveway for a work truck needs more underneath than a patio for chairs. You get a free written estimate explaining the prep, the concrete work and anything we'll ask of you before pour day, and we go over what the city or county may want to see.
We prep and pour
Our small crew digs out, packs the base and sets the forms, and I check in as the work goes. We keep the area neat and cover what needs covering. Once the concrete is down it has to cure, and we'll tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for tires.
We walk it with you
Before we pack up, I walk the finished work with you so you can look it over and ask questions while we're still on site. We haul off our leftover material and tools, and we'll go over how to treat the new concrete while it finishes curing.
Tell us about the concrete job you have in mind
Send the contact form and we'll reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out. The estimate is free, done on site and put in writing, with no obligation to go ahead.

Renton, the city we work from
Renton is where the Cedar River runs into Lake Washington, and the water shapes a good part of the city. The Cedar River Trail follows the river upstream from Renton toward Landsburg and is popular with bicyclists and skaters out toward Maple Valley, and Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park has a boat launch right on the lake. Our calls here run from replacing tired driveways and front steps to pouring new patios and garage floors.
The ground matters here too. The city lists wetlands, steep slopes, creeks and coal mine hazards as critical areas where any work needs a permit, and its Planning Division at 425-430-7294 can tell you what extra studies a property in or near one may need. Being based in Renton, we keep those questions in mind from the first visit, so a slab on a hillside lot is planned around the slope and the paperwork before anything is dug.

Questions about concrete work in Renton
How much does concrete work cost in Renton, WA?
It depends on the job, so we give you a number at a free on-site estimate rather than guessing from a photo. Taking out an old slab, a soft or sloped yard, a long reach for the truck and stamped or colored finishes all add to the cost, while a plain broom finish on an easy site keeps it lower.
Why are some concrete quotes so much cheaper than others?
Usually because the cheaper quote leaves out base work, the digging and packing under the slab that nobody sees once it's poured. That's the step we'd least like you to cut, since a slab on loose dirt tends to settle and crack with it. Our written estimate spells out the prep so you can compare quotes fairly.
How long will I be without my driveway if I replace it?
That mostly depends on how long the new concrete needs to cure, and we'll tell you what to expect for your job at the estimate. You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because a car puts far more weight on the slab than feet do, and weather or a permit can move the start.
Are you licensed and insured to do concrete work in Renton?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. Washington requires every construction contractor to register with the state, and the city's permit office asks for a state contractor's license and a City of Renton business license before it issues any permit. A contractor working inside Renton city limits generally needs that city license even if they're based somewhere else.
Do you remove the old concrete before pouring a new driveway or patio?
Yes, when the old slab is cracked or sinking we break it out, haul it away and fix the base under it before we pour. Pouring a thin layer over a failing slab usually just copies its cracks, because whatever made the old one move is still underneath.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our promise is your satisfaction, guaranteed. We'd rather earn that through the base work described above than make promises about concrete, which can still move with the ground. If something about the finished work doesn't sit right with you, please call (425) 264-4089 and tell us.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
Concrete can crack, but a firm base, a pour kept out of the worst midday heat and well-placed control joints usually keep cracks small and where we planned them. Control joints are shallow grooves cut into the slab so it cracks along a straight line instead of wandering across the middle, and they only work if they're cut on time. Rebar, the steel set inside some slabs, helps hold a crack tight.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Renton?
It depends on the size and the site, so check with the city's Permit Services before you plan around it. The City of Renton calls for a Civil Construction Permit when a project adds or replaces more than 500 square feet of hard surface or disturbs more than 500 square feet of ground, and work in the critical areas mentioned above needs one too. If you're not sure your address is inside city limits, the city's COR Maps tool will show you.
