Terms and Conditions

Effective January 1, 2026

Accepting these terms

These terms explain how Advantage Long Beach Concrete Company works with the people who use this website and hire us. By browsing the site, sending us a request or booking work with us, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

A signed estimate, contract or work order for your job sits on top of these terms. If the two ever say different things, the signed document for your job wins.

What we do

We're a concrete contractor in Long Beach, CA. We pour driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, garage floors, pool decks and other flatwork, which is the flat slabs around a house. We also build footings, foundations and retaining walls, and we do decorative and stamped concrete, foundation raising and concrete cutting. You can see the full list from our home page, and you can read more about the business on our About page.

What's on this site is general information to help you understand the work. It isn't a promise about your particular job, because every lot, slab and soil condition is different. The details for your job come from your estimate and your agreement with us.

Estimates and pricing

We give estimates after we've looked at the job in person. An estimate covers the work it describes, based on what we can see and measure that day. It holds for the time written on it, and after that we may need to update it if material or labor costs have changed.

Some things don't show up until the old concrete is out or we're digging. That includes soft or wet ground under the slab, buried roots, old footings, debris or pipes. If we find something that changes the work or the price, we'll stop, explain it and get your approval before doing the extra work. We won't bill you for changes you didn't agree to.

Changes you ask for after the estimate, like a bigger area, a different finish or a different color, are priced separately and added in writing before we do them.

Scheduling, weather and cancellation

We'll give you a start date once the job is booked. Concrete depends on the weather and the ground, so rain, high heat or a wet subgrade, which is the ground the slab sits on, can push a pour back a day or more. When that happens, we'll let you know as soon as we can and set the next workable date with you.

Concrete needs time to cure, which means it has to sit and harden before it can take weight. We'll tell you when it's safe to walk on and when it's safe to drive on. Using the slab sooner than we advise can damage it, and damage caused that way isn't our responsibility.

If you need to cancel or move your job, call us as early as you can. If you cancel after we've ordered materials, scheduled a concrete delivery or started work, you agree to pay for the materials, deliveries and labor already committed to your job, as described in your agreement.

Your part of the job

You agree to give our crew safe access to the work area on the scheduled days, to move vehicles and belongings out of the way and to tell us about anything buried that you know of, such as sprinkler lines, drains or private utility lines. You're responsible for knowing where your property lines are and for any rules from a homeowners association.

Some jobs need a permit or approval from your city. Your agreement will say who arranges it. If you're not sure whether your job needs one, ask your city's building office before work starts.

Payment

Payment terms for your job, including any deposit and when each payment is due, are written in your estimate or contract. Unless your agreement says otherwise, the balance is due when the work is finished.

If a payment is late, we may pause work until it's paid. You're responsible for reasonable costs we have to spend collecting an unpaid balance, to the extent California law allows.

Warranties and what concrete does

Concrete can crack, even when it's poured right. We cut control joints, which are planned grooves that give the slab a place to crack in a straight line, and we prepare the base so the slab has solid ground under it. Those steps lower the risk, but no one can promise a slab will never crack, so small hairline cracks aren't a defect on their own.

Color, texture and finish can vary from samples, photos and earlier jobs, because concrete changes with the batch, the weather and the cure. Settling or cracking caused by tree roots, drainage changes, heavy loads the slab wasn't built for, or ground movement isn't covered.

Any warranty we give for your job is the one written in your agreement. Apart from that, the work and this website are provided as they are, and we don't make other promises, spoken or implied, beyond what the law requires.

Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, our total responsibility for any claim about a job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job. We aren't responsible for indirect losses, such as lost use of your property, lost income or inconvenience while work is underway or the concrete is curing.

We aren't responsible for delays or problems caused by things outside our control, including weather, material shortages, utility issues or decisions made by a city or other public office. Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that California law doesn't allow us to limit.

Using this website

The words, photos and design on this site belong to Advantage Long Beach Concrete Company. You're welcome to read and share them for your own use, but please don't copy them for business use without asking us first.

We work to keep the site accurate, but details can change and mistakes can happen. Links to other websites are there for your convenience, and we aren't responsible for what's on them.

If something goes wrong

If you're unhappy with any part of our work, call us first. Most problems get settled quickly once we come out and look at them together, and we'd rather fix it than argue about it.

If we can't settle it that way, we both agree to try mediation, where a neutral person helps us reach an answer, before either of us goes to court. If it still isn't settled, the dispute will be heard in the courts of Los Angeles County, California.

Governing law

These terms and any work we do for you are governed by the laws of the State of California.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, and the version posted on this page is the one that applies. Changes don't affect a job you've already signed for, which stays under the terms in place when you signed.

Questions about these terms

If anything here isn't clear, call us at (562) 269-3293 or reach us through our Contact page, and we'll explain it before you book.
