About our concrete contractor team in Federal Way
J&R Federal Way Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor based in Federal Way. We build the driveways, patios, slabs, footings and foundations that homes and small businesses in this city and the cities around it stand on. Here's how I came to the trade and how our crew handles your job.
From farm fence posts to Federal Way concrete
I grew up on a family farm where if something broke, you fixed it yourself. That's where I first mixed concrete, for fence posts and barn floors. I spent years on other crews after that, and in 2017 I started J&R Federal Way Concrete Construction here in Federal Way.
We're best known for flatwork that comes out true and lasts, the driveways, patios, walks and slabs you park and stand on. We also take the footings and foundations a lot of crews would rather pass on. Most of our calls come from homeowners, and some from small business owners who need a lot, a walk or a slab.
I care most about the prep, because concrete shows every shortcut sooner or later. The base under a slab is buried the day we pour, so it's the first thing people want to trim from a budget. I'd rather spend the money there than on a fancier finish, and I'd rather tell you right away that something won't work than let you find out later.
What you can count on when we work for you
These are the things you'll notice working with us, from the first visit to the last bit of cleanup. They come from how I learned the trade and what I've seen go wrong on other jobs.
One person, estimate to pour
I come out to look at your job and write the estimate myself. Then I'm on site running our crew while we form, pour and finish, so nothing you told me at the estimate gets lost on the way to the pour.
Estimates you can compare
Our estimates list what's included, like tearing out the old concrete and hauling it off. That way you can line our price up against other bids and see what each one actually covers, instead of guessing what got left out.
Straight answers up front
If something about your plan won't work, like a slab that would drain toward the house, I'll tell you at the estimate. It's a lot easier to change a plan on paper than to break out concrete after it's poured.
A tidy site and street
We respect the neighbors and the street. Our crew keeps the site picked up and cleans as we go, so you're not left with mud, scraps or concrete spatter across your yard and the sidewalk once the job is done.
Licenses and insurance for concrete work in Federal Way
The City of Federal Way requires every business working inside city limits to hold a city endorsement on top of an active Washington State business license, and the endorsement is good for one year. We're fully licensed and insured.

We reply within one business day.
How a concrete job goes with our crew
Here's what happens from the time you reach out until the slab is done. It's the same order on a small walk as it is on a driveway or a foundation.
Call or send the form
Call us at (253) 652-2604 or fill out our contact form with what you need poured and where. We reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out and look at the job in person.
Free estimate on site
I come out to see the ground, the slope and where water runs off your lot, and we talk through what you want. The size, how much old concrete comes out and what the base needs are what move the price, and the estimate is free with no obligation.
Permit check and start date
Before we set a date, we check whether your address falls under the city or the county. When the job needs a permit, we handle the application and build the wait into your start date, so you're not holding a day on the calendar that can't happen.
Prep, pour and finish
We dig out and pack the base, set the forms, pour and finish. Then we cut control joints, the grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, clean up before we leave and tell you when it's ready to walk on and drive on.
