How to Choose the Right Concrete Contractor: A Guide from Meyer Construction

February 28, 2025

When it comes to commercial and industrial construction, concrete is the foundation—literally and figuratively—of a successful project. Whether you're installing a new concrete slab, constructing a parking lot, or building a foundation, choosing the right concrete contractor is crucial to ensuring quality, durability, and efficiency.

At Meyer Construction, we know what it takes to complete concrete projects that stand the test of time. If you're searching for a reliable concrete contractor, here are some key factors to consider—along with what makes Meyer Construction the trusted choice for businesses across Missouri and beyond.


1. Look for Experience and Expertise

Not all concrete contractors are created equal. Experience matters when it comes to ensuring a strong, long-lasting foundation for your project. A contractor with years of expertise in the industry understands the complexities of site preparation, material selection, reinforcement techniques, and finishing processes.

With decades of experience in commercial and industrial concrete work, our team at Meyer Construction has handled projects of all sizes—from school foundations to large-scale industrial floors. Our depth of expertise ensures that every project is completed with precision and durability in mind.


2. Check Licensing, Insurance, and Certifications

A reputable contractor should be properly licensed, insured, and certified. This not only protects you from liability but also ensures the company follows industry best practices and safety regulations.

Meyer Construction’s Commitment to Compliance
We are fully licensed and insured, adhering to all local, state, and federal regulations. Our team is trained to meet the latest OSHA safety standards, ensuring that every project is completed safely and professionally.


3. Evaluate Their Portfolio and Past Work

One of the best ways to judge a contractor's capabilities is by reviewing their past projects. A strong portfolio demonstrates the company’s ability to handle different types of concrete work with high-quality results.

Our Proven Track Record
At Meyer Construction, we take pride in our diverse project portfolio, which includes commercial foundations, concrete parking lots, industrial flooring, sidewalks, and more. We invite you to explore our work and see firsthand the quality craftsmanship that sets us apart.

4. Ask for References and Read Reviews

Reputation speaks volumes. A trustworthy contractor should have a history of satisfied clients who can vouch for their work. Online reviews, testimonials, and direct references can provide insight into the contractor’s reliability, professionalism, and quality of work.

What Our Clients Say

6. Compare Pricing—But Don’t Just Go with the Lowest Bid

While cost is always a consideration, the cheapest option is not always the best. Poor workmanship, low-quality materials, and shortcuts can end up costing you more in repairs and delays down the road. Instead, look for a balance of quality and fair pricing.
