Heat and drying
Summer brings about 82 days at 90°F or hotter, 63 of them in June–August. High temperatures speed up setting and drying, which raises the risk of plastic shrinkage cracks. For a summer pour we schedule outside the hottest part of the day and protect the slab from drying too fast. NRMCA's hot-weather guidance covers retarders, early starts and curing.[4]
Cold and freeze-thaw
Freezing nights are a regular part of winter in Columbia County, about 42 of them in December–February, but rare outside it. A pour between late fall and early spring may need the cold-weather precautions ACI describes for air temperatures expected below 40°F. For driveways, walks and patios that freeze while wet, NRMCA recommends air-entrained concrete to resist scaling. Our estimates say whether the mix is air-entrained.[2, 3]
With 47 inches of precipitation a year, we plan how fresh concrete gets covered if rain arrives during or soon after the pour, and slope the finished slab to shed water away from the house.
Homes in Columbia County
Columbia County has about 61,668 homes. The median home was built in 1999, and 34% were built before 1980. 78% are owner-occupied.[5]

Permits and inspections in Columbia County
Driveway aprons that meet a public road, retaining walls above a set height and slabs that carry a structure usually need a permit, issued by the county or by the city the property sits in. We tell you at the estimate which permits your job needs and pull them as part of the work. Where an inspection is required, we schedule it and have the forms and steel ready for the inspector.
