What is not part of concrete installation, replacement & repair
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- A concrete job that reaches $1,000 in labor and materials, which includes most new pours and replacements, goes to a licensed contractor. NorTech flags this before you book.
- Foundations, structural slabs, retaining walls and anything carrying a building load are structural work for a licensed contractor and usually need permits.
- Slab leaks and plumbing under a slab are for a licensed plumber.
- Lifting sunken slabs with injected fill and fixing drainage that caused the settling may be separate specialty work.
- Tree removal and root cutting that damaged the slab are separate services on NorTech.

Before you book concrete installation, replacement & repair
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph cracks with a coin for scale
Take photos of each crack, and place a coin or ruler next to it. Show where one side sits higher than the other.
Watch where the water goes
Run a hose onto the slab or check after rain. Water that pools or runs toward the house points to a slope problem that new concrete should fix, and one reason a slab may have cracked.
Measure the area you want poured
Mark the new patio or walk outline with stakes or spray paint, and measure the length and width. Tell the pro the finish you want, such as broom, stamped or exposed-aggregate.
Check the base and nearby trees
Look for roots lifting the slab, sunken spots and gaps under the edge. Tell the pro which trees are near, because roots left in place will crack the new slab as well.
Plan around curing
Fresh concrete cannot be driven on or loaded right away. Park vehicles elsewhere, secure pets and tell family members.
Clear access for equipment
Move cars, planters and furniture from the work area and the path to it. Tell the pro about gate widths, steep slopes or tight corners, since a concrete truck needs space.
Say where in Portola Valley you are

Best time to book concrete installation, replacement & repair
Concrete needs mild temperatures to cure properly. Freezing weather can ruin a fresh pour, and very hot or windy days dry the surface too fast and cause cracks. Booking in spring through early fall gives the best conditions and a chance to seal before winter. In Portola Valley, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain.
