Concrete contractors in Kent County, Delaware

What these Delaware records tell you

These selected Delaware registrations showed Active status and NAICS 238110, Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors. The activity code is not a concrete trade certification or a workmanship rating. Included records permit private work, either alone or together with public work; public-only registrations are excluded. Read the work category on each profile, confirm the current registration and check any other license or local permission your project needs.

Check each business with Delaware Department of Labor's official registration search. A listing is not a workmanship rating, a verified customer review or confirmation that the business participates in our referral service. We do not independently verify insurance; request current documentation directly.

Cold and freeze-thaw

Freeze-thaw is the main risk for outdoor concrete in Kent County. Concrete that is wet when it freezes, especially where deicers are used, can scale. NRMCA recommends air-entrained concrete, about 6 percent total air with ¾- to 1-inch aggregate, and a specified strength of 4,000 psi for exterior slabs exposed to freezing and deicers. Ask every bidder to write the specified strength and air content into the quote. Freezing lows are not only a midwinter issue here: about 21 of them fall in March–May and September–November, so spring and fall pours need a plan for cold nights too. ACI calls for cold-weather precautions when air temperatures are expected to fall below 40°F during the protection period.^{[2, 3]}

Heat and drying

Summer brings about 25 days at 90°F or hotter. High temperatures speed up setting and drying, which raises the risk of plastic shrinkage cracks. For a summer pour, ask the contractor to schedule outside the hottest part of the day and to explain how the slab will be protected from drying too fast.^[4]

With 48 inches of precipitation a year, ask how fresh concrete will be covered if rain arrives during or soon after the pour, and how the finished slab will shed water away from the house.
