What goes into a new concrete floor in Kingman?
The short answer: Concrete floor installation in Kingman means our crew builds a firm, well-drained base and then places and finishes a concrete slab on it, so your floor has even support under whatever goes on top.
Most people who call us about a floor are building something new, like a shop, an addition or a house on their own land, or they're replacing an old slab that has cracked and settled. The price mostly turns on the size of the floor, how much digging and base work the ground needs, what goes under the slab and how the surface is finished. The schedule turns on the permit, the weather on pour day and the curing time before your flooring can go down. You get your own figure from the estimate, after I've seen the site. If the floor is for a garage, our garage floor concrete page covers that work.
How do you know it's time for a new concrete floor?
Cracks that keep widening
If the old slab has cracks that open a little more each year, or one side now sits lower than the other, the ground under it has usually settled. Waiting tends to crack the flooring on top too, and the uneven edges become a trip hazard.
Damp spots under flooring
A musty smell, tiles lifting or carpet that feels damp near the slab usually means moisture is coming up from the ground through the concrete. New flooring laid over the same slab will often fail the same way, so it pays to fix what's underneath first.
Bare dirt or gravel floor
A shop or new building on bare ground means dust, uneven footing and nowhere solid to set equipment. It's also much easier to pour the floor before shelves, tools and vehicles move in than to work around them later.
How we handle concrete floor installation
On a floor, I start with the ground. Our crew digs out anything soft and packs a base that drains well and stays firm, because the slab only stays flat if what it sits on stays put. Before your flooring is part of the plan, we talk through what goes under the slab, then we set the forms and the rebar, the steel that holds the slab together if it cracks. After the pour we finish the surface smooth for flooring, or with a light broom texture where you want grip, and we cut control joints, shallow saw lines that give the concrete a planned place to crack as it shrinks. Then the slab cures, which means we keep it from drying too fast so the top comes out hard instead of dusty. I tell you up front that a few cracks are normal in any floor, so nobody is surprised later. If the budget gets tight, I'd rather keep the base work and trim somewhere else, because you can redo a surface but not the ground under a finished floor.
A new floor often brings work around it. If the room opens to the yard, we can pour concrete steps down from the door while the crew and forms are already on site, and if the floor sits near a pool, our concrete pool decks get the same base prep outdoors.
Smooth slab under finished flooring
This suits houses and additions where tile, wood or carpet goes down later, because the floor needs a flat, even surface and some thought about moisture coming up from below. We talk through what goes under the slab with you before the pour, based on the flooring you plan to lay.
Bare work floor for a shop
This suits shop buildings and small businesses where the concrete itself is the floor, so the finish is chosen for traffic, cleaning and grip. We place the control joints where they make sense for the room, so any cracks stay out of the way of your equipment.
What happens after you call us about a concrete floor in Kingman?
Thank you for considering us. Here's how a floor job runs from the first call to the final walk-through, so you know who you'll talk to and when the concrete actually shows up.
- Step 01
Call and set a visit
When you call, we set a time for me to come out, look at the site and hear what you have in mind. It helps to know the flooring you plan to lay, because that shapes what goes under the slab.
- Step 02
Get the estimate and permit check
After the visit you get our estimate, with a price for the floor we talked about, so you're weighing a real number instead of a guess. Before we pick a pour date, we look up which office covers your address.
- Step 03
Prep, pour, finish, walk through
Our crew preps the ground, sets the forms, pours and finishes the floor while I run the work on site. When it's done, we walk the finished floor with you before anyone lays flooring on it.
What Kingman area rules mean for your concrete floor installation
Who issues the permit depends on where your address sits, inside Kingman city limits or out in the county, so that's the first thing I check. In unincorporated Mohave County, the county's Building Division reviews plans and inspects the work, and it requires a permit for all construction unless the job is specifically exempt. On county land we plan on a permit for a floor unless your job is one of those exemptions, and we take care of the permit application when the job needs one. If you're inside the city, we look that up with the city before we set a date.
Many of the floors we pour around Kingman go into shops, additions and new homes on open lots, where the slab is the first thing built and the base starts from bare ground. We do the same work in Golden Valley and New Kingman-Butler, and if your address isn't listed, please ask us anyway.
Get an on-site estimate for your concrete floor
We reply within one business day, and the estimate is free, done on site and comes with no obligation. Once you send the form, we set a time for me to come out, look at the site and hear what you have in mind.
Why Kingman property owners call Kingman Concrete Company
I see the job and run it
I come out to see your site and give the estimate myself, and our own crew does the prep, forming, pouring and finishing while I run the work on site. That way the person who explained the base to you is the one watching it get built.
Trained on a city crew
I learned concrete pouring curbs, walks and slabs on a municipal crew, and I started Kingman Concrete Company in 2020. Public work taught me to plan a pour carefully and check it the same way, and that's how we still run our floors.
Licensed and fully insured, every job
Kingman Concrete Company is licensed and fully insured. A floor is often poured inside your house or right beside it, so you want the crew working there properly covered.
Pours timed around the heat
Industry hot-weather guidance says to place and finish concrete outside the hottest part of the day when possible, and to finish without sprinkling water on the surface. In a Kingman summer we set the pour time around the day's heat, so the top of your floor doesn't come out weak and dusty.
On a floor, the parts that matter most are the ones you'll never see once the flooring is down. When you're ready to talk it through, please send us a note or call (928) 391-0060.
Concrete floor questions we hear in Kingman
How much does a concrete floor cost in Kingman, AZ?
The cost depends mostly on the floor's size, how much digging and base work the ground needs, what goes under the slab and the finish you want, so I give you a figure only after seeing the site. A plain slab on ground that's already firm costs less than one that needs soft ground dug out and a deeper base packed in. Call (928) 391-0060 and I'll come out to price it.
Will my new concrete floor crack?
Most likely a few small cracks will show, because industry guidance on floor construction says some cracking is normal on every project, even with good design and careful work. What a crew controls is where cracks go, by sawing control joints soon after the pour, usually within 4 to 12 hours depending on the temperature and the mix. We plan those joints so any cracks follow the lines instead of wandering across the room.
How do I keep moisture under a concrete slab from ruining my flooring?
Industry guidance calls it sensible planning to put a vapor retarder, a plastic sheet that slows ground moisture, under every interior floor slab. The guidance accepts that floors on a vapor retarder may show some minor cracking, and treats that as a better risk than flooring that fails from moisture. We go over this with you before the pour, based on the flooring you plan to lay.
What happens if concrete work starts before a permit in Mohave County?
In unincorporated Mohave County, the county charges an investigation fee equal to the permit fee, on top of the permit fee itself. The county collects it whether or not a permit is issued later, which is why we get the permit settled before we pour.
Can I pour my own concrete floor in Arizona without a licensed contractor?
Yes, Arizona law lets owners improve their own property themselves, with their own employees or with licensed contractors, when the building is for their sole occupancy and isn't meant for sale or rent. The state's separate exemption for small, minor jobs stops applying once the work needs a local building permit. If you'd rather hand the job off, I'm glad to come look at it.
How long does a concrete floor installation take in Kingman?
The schedule depends most on whether the job needs a permit, how much base work the ground needs and the curing time before flooring goes down, so I can give you dates only after the site visit. In summer the pour is also set around the day's heat, as mentioned above, which can move the start time.
