Using this site means you accept these terms
These terms cover your use of the Groundwork Oceanside Concrete website and the concrete work we do for you. By using the site, calling us or hiring us, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
A signed estimate or contract for your job comes first. Where it says something different from this page, the contract wins, because it covers your house and your project specifically.
What we do
We're a concrete contractor in Oceanside, CA, and we work in the cities around it. Our work includes driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, pool decks, garage floors, foundations, retaining walls, decorative and stamped concrete, and concrete cutting. You can read more about our crew on our About page or start from the home page.
The descriptions on this site are general. The exact scope of your job is what's written in your estimate or contract, and work outside that scope needs a written change before we do it.
How estimates and pricing work
Our on-site estimates are free and come with no obligation. Prices on an estimate depend on what we see at your property, such as the size of the area, how much old concrete has to come out, the condition of the ground underneath and the finish you choose.
Some conditions only show up once the old slab is out or the ground is dug, like soft soil, buried debris, roots or old pipes. If we find something that changes the work or the price, we'll stop, show you and get your written approval before we go on.
An estimate is good for the period written on it. After that, material and labor costs may have changed, so we may need to update it.
Scheduling, weather and cancellation
We'll give you a start date when you approve the work, and we'll do our best to keep it. Concrete depends on the weather, so rain, extreme heat or other conditions we can't control may move the pour, because pouring in the wrong conditions makes a weaker slab.
Fresh concrete needs time to cure, which is the wait while it hardens before it can take foot traffic or a car. We'll tell you when it's safe to walk and drive on, and damage caused by using it earlier isn't something we're responsible for.
If you need to reschedule or cancel, please tell us as early as you can by calling (760) 400-7009. Any cancellation terms, including costs for materials already ordered or work already done, are set out in your contract. Nothing on this page takes away any right to cancel that California law gives you.
Your part before we start
Please tell us about anything buried in the work area that we might not see, such as sprinkler lines, low-voltage wiring, septic parts or drain pipes. We'll work carefully, but we can't be responsible for damage to private lines we weren't told about.
Some work may need a permit or approval from your city or homeowners association. Your contract will say who is responsible for getting it, and we won't start work that needs one until it's in place.
Payment terms
The payment schedule for your job, including any deposit, progress payments and the final amount, is written in your contract. Final payment is due when the work in the contract is done, unless the contract says otherwise.
If a payment is late, we may pause work until it's paid. California law also gives contractors certain rights to secure payment for work on a property, and nothing in these terms gives up those rights.
Warranty and what concrete can and can't promise
We stand behind our work, and our goal is that you're satisfied with it. Any written warranty for your job is the one in your contract, and it covers only what it says.
Concrete can crack. We cut control joints, which are planned grooves that give the slab a place to crack in a straight line instead of at random, but small hairline cracks and slight color differences are normal and aren't defects. Concrete laid next to old concrete may not match it in color or texture.
Our warranty doesn't cover damage from things outside our work, such as ground movement or settling under nearby areas we didn't prepare, tree roots, drainage changes made after we leave, heavy vehicles beyond normal home use, de-icing or harsh chemicals, or lack of sealing and care.
Apart from any written warranty in your contract, and to the extent the law allows, the information on this website is given as is, without other promises of any kind.
Limits on our liability
To the extent the law allows, Groundwork Oceanside Concrete isn't liable for indirect or follow-on losses, such as lost use of your property, lost income or inconvenience. Our total responsibility for any claim tied to a job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job.
We're licensed and fully insured, and nothing here limits liability that California law doesn't allow a business to limit.
How we settle a disagreement
If something isn't right, call us first at (760) 400-7009 or reach us through our Contact page. Most problems get fixed fastest when we come back out and look at it together.
If we can't work it out between us, either side may take the dispute to the courts in San Diego County, California.
Which law applies
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 on this page is the one that applies when you use the site. Changes won't alter a contract you've already signed unless we both agree in writing.
If you have a question about these terms, please get in touch through our Contact page.
