Terms and Conditions

Effective January 1, 2026

Agreeing to these terms

These terms apply when you use this website or hire L&M Lancaster Concrete Construction for concrete work. By browsing the site, asking for an estimate or booking a job with us, you agree to them.

If a signed contract for your job says something different from this page, the contract controls for that job. If you don't agree with these terms, please don't use the site, and talk to us before any work starts.

Who we are and what we do

L&M Lancaster Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor based in Lancaster, CA. We pour and repair driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, steps, pool decks, retaining walls, footings and foundations, along with decorative and stamped finishes and concrete cutting, for homeowners in Lancaster and the cities around it.

The service descriptions on our home page and the rest of this site explain our work in general terms. They aren't a promise that a particular service fits your property, because that depends on what we find on site. You can read more about how we work on our About us page.

Estimates and pricing

We give free estimates on site, with no obligation to hire us. An estimate covers the work we describe in it, based on what we can see and measure at the time of the visit.

Concrete prices depend on the size and thickness of the slab, how much digging out and base work the ground needs, access for trucks and equipment, the finish you choose and what has to be removed first. Your estimate stays good for the period written on it. After that, material and labor costs may have changed and we may need to update the figure.

Some conditions only show up once the old concrete is out or the ground is open, such as soft or wet soil, buried debris, roots or old footings. If we find something like that, we'll stop, show you what we found and agree on any change in price with you before we go on. We don't do extra work and bill for it without your approval.

Scheduling, weather and cancellation

We'll set a start date with you once the estimate is accepted. Dates are our best plan, not a guarantee, because concrete work depends on weather, ready-mix delivery, inspections and the job before yours.

We won't pour in conditions that would weaken the slab, such as rain, high wind or extreme heat, so we may move a pour to protect your concrete. When we do, we'll tell you as early as we can and give you a new date.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, call us as soon as you know. Once materials have been ordered or delivered, or work has started, you may owe for those materials and the work already done, as the contract for your job sets out. This doesn't limit any right to cancel that California law gives you.

Payment

The payment schedule, any deposit and the accepted payment methods are written in your contract. Final payment is due when the work described in the contract is complete, even if the new concrete is still curing, which is the waiting period before it's ready for full use.

If a payment is late, we may pause work until the account is current. Unpaid balances may be pursued through the remedies California law allows contractors.

Your part of the job

You agree to give our crew safe access to the work area, to tell us about anything buried that we can't see, such as sprinkler lines, private utility lines or septic parts, and to confirm where your property lines are. If you're in a homeowners association, getting its approval is up to you.

After the pour, please keep people, pets and vehicles off the new concrete for as long as we tell you. Damage from use before the concrete has cured isn't covered by any warranty we give.

Warranties and what concrete does naturally

Any written warranty we give for your job is the one in your contract. Apart from that written warranty, and to the extent the law allows, our work and this website are provided without other warranties, stated or implied.

Concrete shrinks as it dries, so small hairline cracks can show up even on a well-built slab. We cut control joints, the planned grooves in the slab, so most cracking happens along those lines and not across the middle. Hairline cracks, slight differences in color or texture from one pour to the next and normal surface wear aren't defects.

Our warranty doesn't cover damage from soil movement we couldn't have found, tree roots, drainage changes made after we leave, heavy vehicles or loads the slab wasn't built for, deicing salts or chemicals, or repairs made by someone else.

Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, L&M Lancaster Concrete Construction isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost use of a driveway during curing, lost income or the cost of other arrangements while work is underway.

Our total liability for any claim about a job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job. Nothing in these terms limits liability that California law doesn't allow a business to limit.

Using this website

The information on this site is general and meant to help you understand concrete work. It isn't engineering, legal or permit advice for your specific property.

We try to keep the site accurate, but we don't promise it's always complete, current or free of errors. The text and photos belong to L&M Lancaster Concrete Construction or are used with permission, and you may not copy them for commercial use without asking us.

Resolving a disagreement

If something about your job isn't right, call us first at (661) 952-4153 or reach us through our contact page, and we'll come look at it. Most problems are settled with a site visit and a straight conversation.

If we can't settle it that way, both sides agree to try mediation before going to court, unless the dispute belongs in small claims court. Either side can still go to court to protect a right that would otherwise be lost.

California law applies

These terms and any job we do are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any court case about them will be heard in the courts of Los Angeles County, California, unless the law requires a different place.

If a court finds any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, and the version posted on this page is the one in effect. A change doesn't alter a contract you've already signed with us.

If you have questions about these terms, call us at (661) 952-4153 or send a message through our contact page.
