Concrete floor installation in Bozeman MT - a sound, level base for your flooring

A cracked, uneven or damp floor spoils whatever you lay on top. We pour a slab that gives your flooring a sound, level base.

We pour new floors for basements, shops and additions, starting with the ground underneath and the moisture barrier, since those decide how the floor holds up. I walk the site first, ask how you'll use the room and show you where the joints will go.

What goes into a new concrete floor in Bozeman?

Concrete floor installation in Bozeman means pouring a new slab over packed ground and a vapor retarder, a plastic sheet that keeps moisture in the soil from rising into your room, so the flooring you lay on top stays sound. With that sheet right against the concrete, your flooring gets the most protection, though the slab settles a little more and moves more as it dries than one poured on a draining layer of gravel, so I'll ask what flooring you're planning before we choose. Even small holes in the sheet can let far more moisture through, which is why we keep it whole while we work. The price moves with the floor's size, its thickness, the finish and how much digging and packing the ground under it needs. The schedule turns on that prep and on the weather, and I'd rather move a pour date than rush one. Your written estimate spells out what the price includes.

Concrete floor installation jobs we handle in Bozeman

  • Basement floors

    A basement slab sits closest to the moisture in the ground, so the barrier under it matters most when you plan carpet, vinyl or wood down there. This suits a new basement or one where the old floor is too broken to save.

    Schedule an estimate

  • Floors for additions and new rooms

    When you add a room, the new floor has to meet the old one at the right height and sit on ground packed as firmly as the rest of the house. We plan the base and the barrier around the flooring you've chosen.

  • Shop and outbuilding floors

    A shop, studio or storage building floor carries heavier loads, so we talk through what you'll park, store or roll across it before settling the thickness and the rebar, the steel that helps hold the slab together. A broom finish, a light texture that gives grip, often suits a working floor.

    Schedule an estimate

  • Tear-out and replacement

    If an old floor has sunk, heaved or cracked across, we break it out and look at what's under it, because the cause is usually down there. Then we rebuild the base before the new slab goes in.

How can you tell your concrete floor needs replacing?

  • Cracks that keep widening

    A hairline crack is normal, but one that keeps opening or has one side higher than the other usually means the ground underneath has moved.

  • Low spots and pooling water

    If water collects in the same places or a dropped ball rolls to one corner, the slab has likely settled where the base wasn't packed well.

  • Flooring that lifts or smells musty

    Tiles popping loose, vinyl bubbling or a musty smell under carpet often point to moisture coming up through the slab from the ground.

  • A surface that chips and dusts

    A floor that sheds powder when you sweep it or chips at the edges often had a weak top from a rushed or hot-weather pour.

Questions about concrete floors in Bozeman

These are the questions people ask me most about new floors. If yours isn't here, please call (406) 536-3025, and thank you for asking.

How much does a new concrete floor cost in Bozeman?

An installed concrete slab in Bozeman usually costs about $6.50 to $12 per square foot. Where your floor falls in that range depends on its size, thickness, finish and how much base work the ground needs. I walk the job with you, and the written estimate lists what the price covers.

Can concrete be poured in winter in Bozeman?

Yes, national cold weather guidance says concrete poured when the air drops, or may drop, to 40°F or below still gets strong and durable if it's mixed, placed and protected properly. A Michigan concrete trade group's guide adds that the ground under the pour should be at least 40°F, thawed with heaters or blankets. If the weather won't cooperate, I'd rather move the pour date.

Will my new concrete floor crack?

Some cracking is normal in any concrete, and properly designed joints keep it controlled and small. Control joints are shallow cuts that give the slab a planned place to crack, so a crack follows a straight line instead of wandering across your room. Cutting them late is one of the usual reasons cracks land where nobody wanted them, so we don't leave it.

Who do I call about a building permit for a concrete floor in Bozeman?

The City of Bozeman Building Division answers questions about building permits, plans and inspections at (406) 582-2375 ext. 1. Before work starts, we check permit questions with the office that covers your address, and we help you through the paperwork when a permit is needed.

What does Bozeman require for soil and frost on a new building slab?

For work that needs a building permit, Bozeman's design criteria call for a site-specific soils analysis with the application and a final report before the footing inspection. They also set a minimum footing depth for frost, deeper for two-story buildings than one-story ones. Gallatin County sells short- and long-term radon test kits at a discount at 215 West Mendenhall #108.

Where should I save money on a concrete floor without causing problems later?

Save on the finish, not the base. The dug-out, packed ground under the slab is hidden the day we pour, so it's often the first thing a tight budget trims, yet a floor that settles with loose dirt underneath can't be fixed with a nicer surface. A plain finish can be dressed up later, and a weak base can't.
