Commercial Concrete Services
Professional concrete solutions for businesses, industrial facilities, and commercial properties throughout Calexico.
Why Businesses Choose Us
Commercial concrete work demands more than residential projects. Your business needs concrete that handles heavy loads, constant traffic, and commercial equipment while meeting strict building codes and ADA requirements. Downtime costs you money, so projects need to move efficiently without cutting corners on quality.
Here in Calexico, commercial properties face unique challenges. Loading docks take constant abuse from forklifts and delivery trucks. Parking lots endure heavy vehicle traffic in extreme heat. Warehouse floors must stay level under massive weight loads. Restaurant patios need surfaces that handle foot traffic and meet health department standards.
When you work with Calexico Concrete for your commercial project, you get a team that understands business needs. We work around your operating hours to minimize disruption. We coordinate with other trades and inspectors. We deliver on schedule because we know delays cost you revenue.

Commercial Services We Provide
We handle all types of commercial concrete work for businesses throughout the Calexico area.
Parking Lots and Drives
Your parking lot is often the first impression customers get of your business. We install commercial-grade parking lots engineered for heavy traffic and designed for proper drainage. This includes striping layouts, ADA-compliant accessible spaces, and appropriate thickness for your expected vehicle loads. We also repair and replace damaged sections of existing parking lots.
Loading Docks and Aprons
Loading areas take serious abuse from forklifts, pallet jacks, and constant impacts. We pour extra-thick concrete with heavy reinforcement that stands up to this punishment. We also ensure proper grade so delivery trucks can back up safely and water drains away from the building. Damaged loading docks create safety hazards and slow operations, so we build them to last.
Warehouse and Industrial Floors
Industrial floors must stay flat and level under enormous weight. We pour floors to tight tolerances required for racking systems and material handling equipment. These floors often need special finishes like power troweling for smoothness or hardeners for extra durability. We work with your engineers and equipment suppliers to meet exact specifications.
Sidewalks and Building Access
Commercial sidewalks must meet ADA accessibility standards for slope, width, and surface texture. We install code-compliant walkways, ramps, and building entrances that pass inspection the first time. This includes proper curb cuts, detectable warning surfaces, and handrail anchors where required. If you're also looking to improve residential concrete surfaces, check out our residential sidewalk services or patio installations.
How We Manage Commercial Projects
Commercial projects need careful coordination and professional management from start to finish.
Planning and Engineering
We start by reviewing your project requirements and any engineering specifications. We coordinate with architects, engineers, and other contractors to ensure our work integrates smoothly with the overall project. We also handle permit applications and schedule inspections. Clear communication at this stage prevents problems later.
Scheduling Around Your Business
We understand that your business can't shut down for days or weeks. We develop work schedules that minimize impact on your operations. This might mean working nights, weekends, or in phases that keep part of your facility operational. We clearly communicate the timeline and keep you informed of any changes.
Quality Control and Testing
Commercial projects often require concrete testing to verify strength and quality. We coordinate with testing labs and provide all required documentation. We also maintain quality control throughout the project to ensure the finished work meets specifications. This includes monitoring concrete temperature, slump, and curing conditions.
Final Inspection and Turnover
Before we consider a project complete, we walk through it with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. We coordinate final inspections with building officials and provide all required closeout documentation. Our goal is to deliver a project that's ready to use with no surprises or unfinished details.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do commercial concrete projects take?
Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A small repair might take just a day or two, while a large parking lot could take several weeks. We provide detailed schedules during the bidding process so you know what to expect. We also build in contingencies for weather and inspections. The key is realistic planning and clear communication. We'd rather give you an accurate timeline upfront than promise something we can't deliver.
Do you work with general contractors and builders?
Absolutely. We regularly work as subcontractors on larger construction projects. We coordinate with general contractors, follow their schedules, and integrate smoothly with other trades on site. We understand construction site protocols and maintain all required insurance and documentation. We can provide references from contractors we've worked with if you'd like to verify our reputation for reliability and quality work.
What's different about commercial concrete versus residential?
Commercial concrete typically needs greater strength, heavier reinforcement, and tighter tolerances than residential work. Commercial projects must meet stricter building codes and often require engineering stamps. The concrete mixes are different, designed for specific loads and uses. Commercial work also involves more coordination, documentation, and formal inspections. Finally, scheduling is critical because business downtime has real financial costs. These factors mean commercial concrete work requires specific experience and capabilities that go beyond residential projects.
