Commercial Concrete Services
Professional concrete solutions for businesses that need to pass inspection and handle heavy use.
Why Businesses Choose Us for Commercial Concrete
Commercial concrete work has different demands than residential projects. You need contractors who understand building codes, ADA compliance, proper scheduling, and how to work around your business operations without disrupting your customers.
We work with businesses throughout Tarboro and the surrounding area on everything from small parking lot repairs to complete new construction slabs. Your project gets the attention it deserves, and we coordinate with your timeline to minimize downtime.
Here's what makes us the right choice for your commercial concrete needs:
- Licensed and insured with commercial liability coverage
- Understanding of local building codes and ADA requirements
- Ability to work on tight schedules and coordinate with other trades
- Experience with commercial-grade concrete mixes and specifications
- Proper equipment to handle large-scale projects efficiently
- Clear communication and project documentation
Whether you're opening a new location, expanding your facility, or maintaining your property, we deliver concrete work that meets commercial standards. At Superior Tarboro Concrete, we understand that your business can't afford delays or substandard work that fails inspection.
Commercial Concrete Services We Provide
From parking lots to loading docks, we handle the full range of commercial concrete work. Each type of project requires specific knowledge and techniques to meet code requirements and handle the intended use.
Parking Lots and Drive Lanes
Your parking lot takes a beating from vehicles every day. We pour concrete that's thick enough and reinforced properly to handle the weight and traffic volume. Proper drainage keeps water from pooling, and correct finishing prevents premature wear. We also handle curbing, wheel stops, and ADA-compliant parking spaces.
Building Slabs and Foundations
New construction and additions need building slabs and foundations that meet structural requirements. We work from your plans and engineer specifications to pour commercial-grade slabs with proper reinforcement, moisture barriers, and edge details. Your slab passes inspection and provides a solid base for your building.
Sidewalks and ADA Compliance
Commercial properties must meet accessibility standards. We install sidewalks and walkways with correct slopes, widths, and curb cuts that comply with ADA regulations. Your property stays accessible to all customers and avoids compliance issues.
Loading Docks and Industrial Areas
Warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities need concrete that handles heavy equipment and constant use. We pour thicker slabs with industrial-strength concrete and appropriate reinforcement. Loading dock areas, forklift paths, and equipment pads get built to handle the specific loads they'll carry.
Minimizing Disruption to Your Business
We know that closed parking spaces or blocked entrances cost you money. Our approach focuses on getting the work done efficiently while keeping your business operational.
Phased Construction
For large projects like parking lot replacement, we can work in phases. This keeps part of your lot open while we complete sections. You maintain customer access, and we work systematically through the project. Phasing takes slightly longer overall but lets your business keep running.
Off-Hours Work
Some projects work better if we're there when you're closed. We can schedule pours and heavy work for evenings, weekends, or other times that don't interfere with your peak business hours. This costs slightly more but might be worth it to avoid disrupting your customers.
Clear Communication
You'll always know what's happening and when. We provide realistic timelines, give you advance notice of any necessary closures, and update you on progress. If weather or other issues cause delays, you hear about it immediately so you can plan accordingly.
We also coordinate with your other contractors, property managers, and local inspectors to keep everything moving forward. Your commercial concrete project gets completed on schedule and on budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does commercial concrete take to cure before we can use it?▼
Foot traffic is typically safe after 24-48 hours. Light vehicle traffic can start after 7 days for most applications. However, concrete continues gaining strength for 28 days and reaches full load-bearing capacity then. For heavy commercial use like loading docks or areas with constant truck traffic, we recommend waiting the full 28 days before full operations. We can use fast-setting mixes or special techniques if you need faster turnaround, though this adds to the cost.
Do you handle permits and inspections?▼
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections as part of our commercial services. We pull permits, ensure our work meets local building codes, and schedule required inspections. You get documentation that the work was completed properly and passed all inspections. This protects you and ensures your insurance and property records stay current. Permit costs are outlined separately in your quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.
What's the difference between commercial and residential concrete?▼
Commercial concrete is typically thicker, uses higher-strength mixes, and includes more reinforcement to handle heavier loads and more traffic. Commercial projects also must meet stricter code requirements, ADA compliance, and often require engineered specifications. The work requires more coordination, documentation, and inspection than residential projects. While the basic process is similar, commercial concrete work demands more planning, precision, and attention to regulatory requirements. This is why it's important to work with contractors experienced in commercial projects.
