What these North Dakota records tell you
These selected North Dakota business licenses showed Active status and good standing when checked. The license class is a contract-value category, not a concrete specialty or workmanship rating. Concrete services are checked separately on company websites. A state license does not replace a municipal concrete license or project permit. Confirm current standing, class limits, insurance and the complete project scope before hiring.
Check each business with ND Secretary of State's official license 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.

Business locations represented on this page: Bismarck, Mandan.

These are approximate mailing locations, not exact premises, driving distances or service areas.

Concrete driveway contractors: separate private and public work
For Bismarck projects, identify whether the bid includes a public sidewalk, curb, driveway approach or work entirely inside the property. The city's permit and license portal guidance provides a specific excavation/concrete process. A state contractor license alone does not establish local approval.
Check the city's concrete contractor list and confirm its current date and scope with Engineering before public-way work. The copy reviewed was dated September 14, 2026; it is a starting point, not our independent check of a current municipal credential. Ask who obtains the permit, schedules inspections and manages pedestrian access.
Concrete patio contractors: compare the same project brief
Include dimensions, the desired finish, access for equipment and photos of the house connection. Ask which listed businesses handle your job size and finish. Compare removal and disposal, base preparation, drainage, reinforcement, joint layout and curing protection as separate parts of the bid. Request examples of comparable patios rather than relying on a general construction portfolio.
Check North Dakota standing and license class
Use the Secretary of State's current contractor search to match the business and license number. Check both status and standing: a standing field alone is not evidence that a license is active. Review the state contractor guidance for the class and contract requirements. Do not assume a Minnesota credential qualifies a business for a North Dakota project.
A license or mailing location does not prove current availability, workmanship or a service area. Confirm the property address and project scope before arranging a visit.
Sources checked October 8, 2026. Bismarck guidance is local; other North Dakota municipalities may use different processes.
Give each bidder the same project brief
Measure the existing surface and describe the intended use. Include photographs of cracks, pooling water, changes in level, street access and anything that must remain usable during the work. Ask for demolition, disposal, base preparation, drainage, reinforcement, finish and curing protection to be identified in the written scope. Design requirements should come from the approved plans and project conditions.
Use our concrete calculator once dimensions are established, and our national cost guides for planning context. They are not local bids. Ask what could change the price and who approves changes.

Cold and freeze-thaw
Freeze-thaw is the main risk for outdoor concrete in Bismarck. 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 92 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
Hot days are occasional, about 9 a year at 90°F or above. On those days, an early start and prompt curing help, because heat speeds up setting and moisture loss.[4]
