Terms and Conditions

Effective January 1, 2026

First Choice Bozeman Concrete, concretebozeman.com, hello@concretebozeman.com

Accepting these terms

These terms cover your use of this website and the concrete work First Choice Bozeman Concrete does for you. By using the site, asking for a quote or booking a job with us, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site or book work through it.

When we sign a written estimate, proposal or contract for your job, that document governs the job. Where it differs from these terms, the signed document wins.

What we do

First Choice Bozeman Concrete is a concrete contractor in Bozeman, MT. We build and repair driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, garage floors, foundations, retaining walls and other flatwork, which means the flat slabs around a house, along with the related work listed on our home page. You can read more about how we work on our about page.

Descriptions, photos and examples on this site are general information. They aren't a promise that your job will look the same or cost the same, because every site, subgrade and slope is different. The subgrade is the ground your slab sits on.

Estimates and pricing

Quotes are free and we give them on site, because we need to see the ground, the drainage and the access before we can price a job. A quote is based on what we can see that day and on material prices at the time, so it's valid for the period written on it.

Some things only show up once the old concrete is out or the ground is open, like soft soil, buried debris or roots, or water problems under the slab. If we find something that changes the work or the price, we'll stop, explain it and get your approval before doing the extra work. Changes you ask for after you accept a quote are priced as changes and agreed with you before we do them.

Scheduling, weather and cancellation

We schedule the pour around the weather because concrete placed in freezing cold, heavy rain or strong midday heat can end up weak. If conditions aren't right, we'll move the date, and a weather delay isn't a breach of our agreement with you.

Please give us as much notice as you can if you need to cancel or move your job. If you cancel after we've ordered concrete, rebar or forms, or after our crew has started work, you're responsible for the materials ordered and the work already done, and anything else your signed agreement says about cancellation.

Payment

Payment terms, including any deposit and when the balance is due, are set out in your written estimate or contract. Unless that document says otherwise, the balance is due when the work is complete.

If a payment is late, we may pause further work until it's settled. Montana law may give contractors lien rights on property where they've done work and haven't been paid, and we keep any rights the law gives us.

Concrete, cracking and care after the pour

Concrete can crack. We cut control joints, which are planned grooves that give the slab a place to crack in a straight line, and we prepare the base so the slab is well supported, but we can't promise a slab will never crack. Fine hairline cracks, small color differences and surface changes from weather, de-icing salt or normal wear are part of how concrete behaves and aren't defects.

New concrete needs time to cure, which is the time it takes to harden and gain strength. We'll tell you when you can walk on it and when you can drive on it, and following that is up to you. Damage from early use, heavy loads it wasn't built for, freeze damage from salt, or ground movement after the job isn't covered.

We want you happy with the finished work. If something isn't right, call us at (406) 536-3025 and we'll come look at it. Any written warranty for your job is the one in your signed agreement. Apart from that, and to the extent the law allows, we don't give any other warranties, spoken or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Limits on our liability

We're licensed and insured, and we stand behind the work we do. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim about a job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job.

We aren't responsible for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost use of your driveway, rental costs or lost income, or for damage caused by conditions we didn't create or couldn't reasonably see, such as unmarked underground lines, hidden soil problems or work done by others. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit.

Using this website

The information on this site is general and isn't professional advice for your property. Permit rules, codes and conditions differ from one city to the next, so check with your local building office or ask us during the quote.

The text, photos and design of this site belong to First Choice Bozeman Concrete. Please don't copy them for commercial use without our permission. If this site links to another website, we don't control that site and aren't responsible for its content.

Settling disagreements

If something goes wrong, call us first. Most problems get sorted out quickly when we talk about them and look at the work together.

If we can't settle it that way, we both agree to try mediation in good faith before going to court. Any claim that still isn't resolved will be heard in the state or federal courts serving Gallatin County, Montana, unless your signed agreement says otherwise.

Governing law

These terms, your use of this site and any work we do for you are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to rules that would apply another state's law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version posted on this page when you use the site or accept a quote is the one that applies. Changes won't alter a signed agreement for a job already under way unless we both agree in writing.

Questions about these terms

If anything here isn't clear, call us at (406) 536-3025 or reach us through our contact page. We're happy to walk you through it before you book.
