Two ways to work with us

Builders and homeowners buy concrete differently. Pick the route that matches your project and you will get the right conversation from the first call.

For homeowners

A driveway or patio done once, done right

Most homeowner projects start with a site visit. We look at drainage, access and what is already in the ground, then price the work in writing before anything is demolished.

  • Driveway replacement and widening
  • Patios, walkways and pool surrounds
  • Garage, shop and addition slabs
  • Decorative and stamped finishes
  • Removal and haul-off of old concrete
  • On-site consultation before pricing

Concrete services

What we pour

Every service below is concrete work our crews perform directly. If a job falls outside this list we will tell you rather than take it on.

Concrete Foundations

Turned-down and monolithic foundations set to the engineer’s plan, from layout through final finish.

Foundations & slabs

Slab-on-Grade

Compacted subgrade, vapor barrier, mesh or rebar on chairs, then a screeded and power-trowelled slab.

How we build slabs

Footings & Formwork

Excavated and formed footings, stem walls and turn-downs, braced and checked before the truck arrives.

Footings & forms

Driveways

New driveways, replacements and widenings with proper thickness, jointing and drainage away from the house.

Driveway replacement

Flatwork

Sidewalks, aprons, equipment pads, shop and pole-barn floors and commercial flatwork poured to grade.

Flatwork & pads

Patios & Walkways

Back patios, walkways, porch slabs and steps tied cleanly into what is already there.

Patios & walkways

Decorative & Stamped

Stamped patterns, broom and smooth finishes, saw-cut layouts and sealing for outdoor living areas.

Decorative concrete

Removal & Replacement

Breaking out failed slabs and driveways, hauling the debris off and rebuilding the base before we re-pour.

Removal & replacement

Builder Slab Packages

Repeat lots run as a package: same crew, same details, one point of contact across the subdivision.

For builders

Verify before publishing

Three more capabilities were listed in the strategic review but are not confirmed as work Salgado’s own crews perform: site preparation and grading, CMU stem walls, and excavation or piling. Confirm which of these operations actually executes in-house, then add them as service cards — or delete this block if none of them apply.

For builders & general contractors

Concrete Support Built Around Your Schedule

The concrete is rarely the hard part. Keeping the slab on the calendar, matching the plan and handing the lot over clean is what protects your framing start.

  • Clear scopes. Our quote states what is included, what is excluded and what we expect from the site before we mobilise.
  • Plan review. We read the foundation plan and engineering notes and raise questions before pricing, not during the pour.
  • Scheduling updates. You get a confirmed date, and a call as soon as weather or supply threatens it.
  • Pre-pour checklist. Forms, grade, vapor barrier, reinforcement, embeds and plumbing penetrations are walked before concrete is ordered.
  • Documented forms and reinforcement. Photos of the prepared lot go to your project manager so the record exists after the slab is closed in.
  • Pour-day communication. One named contact on site, reachable in English or Spanish.
  • Cleanup and handoff. Forms stripped, washout managed and the pad left ready for your next trade.

Verify before publishing Inspection coordination was proposed as a differentiator. Add it to the list above only once you confirm who schedules and meets inspectors on a typical job.

How a job runs

From plans to handoff, six steps

The same sequence whether it is one driveway or a run of slabs across a subdivision.

Send plans or request a visit

Builders upload a plan set. Homeowners send photos and an address. Either way we start with what is actually there.

Scope and site review

We check access, grade, drainage and what has to come out first, and confirm the details we are pricing.

Estimate and scheduling

A written scope with inclusions and exclusions, plus the window we can hold on the calendar.

Pre-pour preparation

Layout, forms, base, vapor barrier and reinforcement go in and get walked against the checklist.

Pour, finish and documentation

Placement, screed, float and finish by our own crew, with photos of the work recorded as we go.

Final walkthrough and handoff

Forms stripped, joints cut, site cleaned and the work walked with you before we leave.

Verify before publishing Adjust these six steps to match how jobs actually run — especially who cuts joints, who calls for inspection and when forms are stripped.

How we work

Seven things we hold ourselves to

These are working practices, not guarantees. Ask us to show you any of them on a live job before you award work.

Clear scopes

Written inclusions and exclusions so two bids can actually be compared line for line.

Dependable scheduling

A confirmed date, and an early call the moment weather or supply puts it at risk.

Documented pours

Photos of grade, barrier, steel and embeds before concrete arrives, sent to whoever needs the record.

Builder capacity

Crews and finishing equipment set up for repeat slabs rather than one job at a time.

Coastal construction

Work planned around Lowcountry conditions: sandy subgrade, high water table and drainage that has to go somewhere.

Bilingual communication

Estimating, scheduling and the jobsite all covered in English and Spanish.

Clean handoffs

Forms out, washout managed, debris gone and the pad ready for the trade following us.

Where we pour

The Lowcountry and Coastal Georgia

We are based in Ridgeland, South Carolina, which puts the Lowcountry and the whole Savannah region inside a comfortable working radius. Charleston and Statesboro sit further out, and we travel to both when the size of the pour justifies the trip.

  • Ridgeland, SC
  • Bluffton, SC
  • Hilton Head Island, SC
  • Hardeeville, SC
  • Beaufort, SC
  • Savannah, GA
  • Rincon, GA

Charleston · Walterboro · Lowcountry SC · Savannah · Richmond Hill · Hinesville · Statesboro. Working just outside that? Call and ask — we will tell you honestly whether it makes sense.

What clients say

We would rather show you nothing than show you something invented. Real, attributable reviews go here as soon as they are collected.

Verify before publishing No testimonials are published yet.

Nothing in this section is filled in because no verifiable, permission-granted testimonial has been supplied. Before publishing, collect for each one: the person’s name, their company, the project type, the city, and a link to the review on Google or Facebook. Then replace the three placeholder cards below.

The strategic review noted an existing testimonial on the current site referencing high-volume slab work. Confirm the client is willing to be named and linked before it is reused here.

Questions

Frequently asked

What areas do you serve?

We work out of Ridgeland, South Carolina and cover the Lowcountry and Coastal Georgia — nine counties reaching from Charleston south to Hinesville and inland to Statesboro, including Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Hardeeville, Beaufort, Walterboro, Savannah, The Landings, Richmond Hill, Ellabell and Rincon. If your project sits just outside that, call and we will tell you whether it is a fit.

Do you work directly with builders?

Yes. Builders, general contractors and small developers are our primary customers. We take plan sets, price scoped concrete packages and run repeat lots. The builder page explains how to get on our bid list.

Can I send construction plans for an estimate?

Yes. Use the plan submission form or email your set to info@salgadoconcretesc.com. Send the foundation plan, any engineering notes and the site plan, and tell us the lot address and the start date you are working toward.

What types of foundations and slabs do you install?

Monolithic and turned-down slab-on-grade foundations, footings and formwork, elevated slabs on block stem walls, garage and addition slabs, shop and pole-barn floors, and commercial pads. See foundations and slabs for how each is built.

Do you handle concrete removal?

Yes. Breaking out an existing driveway or slab, hauling the debris off site and rebuilding the base before re-pouring is part of a normal replacement scope. It is priced as a line item so you can see what it costs.

Do you offer stamped or decorative concrete?

Stamped patterns, broom and smooth finishes, saw-cut layouts and sealing are available. Verify — confirm which stamp patterns, colours and sealers you actually stock or can source before this answer goes live, and add photographs of finished decorative work to the decorative concrete page.

How far in advance should a project be scheduled?

Verify before publishing — this answer needs a real lead time. Confirm the current backlog and typical notice needed for (a) a single homeowner driveway and (b) a builder slab, then replace this text. Do not publish a lead time operations cannot hold.

Are you licensed and insured?

Verify before publishing — licence number, licence type, insurance carrier, coverage limits and bonding status have not been confirmed and are deliberately not claimed anywhere on this site. Once documents are verified, publish them on the credentials block and answer this question with specifics rather than the phrase “licensed and insured”.

Do you provide warranties?

Verify before publishing — there is a direct conflict in the public record: the current About page mentions a warranty while the Angi profile states that no warranties are offered. Resolve this internally and write the actual warranty terms, or state plainly that no warranty is offered. Do not publish either claim until it is settled.

How do I request an estimate?

Call (843) 290-7958, email info@salgadoconcretesc.com, or use the estimate form. Homeowners generally get a site visit; builders get a takeoff from the plan set.

Homeowners

Request an estimate

Tell us where the project is and what you are trying to fix. The more detail you give now, the more useful the first conversation is.

  • Photos help a lot. A picture of the existing driveway, slab or patio usually answers half our questions.
  • Access matters. Tell us about gates, overhead wires, trees and anything a truck has to get past.
  • Prefer to talk? Call (843) 290-7958. We answer in English or Spanish.
