About My Concrete Guide
Data-backed concrete guides for homeowners
What We Do
My Concrete Guide is a free resource that helps homeowners understand concrete project costs, local requirements, and what to expect before hiring a contractor. We also connect homeowners with local concrete professionals when they're ready to get started.
Every cost guide and article on this site is built around verified local data — not generic national averages. When you call through our site, you're connected directly with a local contractor who handles the type of work you need. The call is free with no obligation.
Our Data Sources
We believe cost guides should be grounded in verifiable data, not estimates pulled out of thin air. Our content draws from the following sources:
- NOAA Climate Normals — 30-year temperature, frost, and precipitation records for each metro area we cover
- USDA NRCS Soil Survey — Official soil series data (clay content, drainage class, shrink-swell potential) by county
- Local Building Departments — Permit requirements, fees, and zoning rules from county and city offices
- ACI Standards — American Concrete Institute specifications for thickness, reinforcement, air entrainment, and curing
- Local Market Research — Contractor pricing data verified against multiple sources in each service area
Every data point on this site includes its source. If we can't verify a number, we don't publish it.

What We Are — and What We're Not
My Concrete Guide is a free informational service and contractor connection platform. We earn a fee when a homeowner connects with a contractor through our site. That's how we fund the content and keep everything free for homeowners.
We are not a contractor. We don't perform concrete work, and we don't employ the professionals you'll speak with. The contractors you reach through our phone service are independent businesses. It is always your responsibility to verify their licensing, insurance, and references before hiring.
