Terms and Conditions
Effective January 1, 2026

Accepting these terms
These terms cover your use of the J&D Santa Maria Concrete Company website and any estimate, scheduling or work you arrange with us through it. By using the site or asking us for an estimate, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
When we do a job for you, we give you a written estimate or contract for that job. If that document says something different from this page, the written estimate or contract controls for that job.
What we do
J&D Santa Maria Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Santa Maria, CA. We build driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, slabs, footings, foundations, retaining walls and other concrete work for homes and businesses in Santa Maria and the cities around it. You can read about our services on the home page and about our crew on the About page.
The descriptions on this site are general information about how concrete work is usually done. They aren't a promise of a specific result on your property, because every site has its own soil, slope, drainage and access. The scope of your job is whatever your written estimate or contract says.
Estimates and pricing
We give free estimates at your property, and asking for one puts you under no obligation. An estimate is based on what we can see and measure on the day we visit, including the size of the area, the thickness of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, the condition of the ground underneath, access for equipment and the finish you choose.
Some conditions only show up once the job is open, such as soft or wet ground under an old slab, buried roots or debris, or old pipes in the way. If we find something like that, we stop, show you what we found and explain what it changes before doing extra work. Any change to the price or scope has to be agreed in writing by you and us.
An estimate is good for the period written on it. After that, material and labor costs may have changed, and we may need to update the price.
Scheduling, weather and cancellation
We schedule your job once you approve the estimate. Concrete depends on the weather, so we may move a pour if rain, high wind or extreme heat would weaken the slab or ruin the finish. We'll tell you as early as we can and set a new date with you, and a weather delay doesn't count as a breach of our agreement.
New concrete needs time to cure, which means it has to sit and harden before it can take weight. We'll tell you when it's safe to walk on and when it's safe to drive on. Using the slab earlier than we advise can damage it, and that damage isn't something we're responsible for.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, call us at (805) 268-7763 as soon as you know. If we've already ordered materials, set forms or reserved a concrete delivery for your job, we may charge for those costs as your written contract allows. Any cancellation rights you have under California law aren't affected by these terms.
Payment
Your written estimate or contract sets out the total price, any deposit and when each payment is due. Payment is due on the dates it lists.
If a payment is late, we may pause work until it's made, and we may recover reasonable costs of collecting what's owed where California law allows it.
Your responsibilities
We ask you to give our crew safe access to the work area, tell us about any underground lines, sprinkler pipes, septic parts or property line questions you know of, and keep kids, pets and vehicles off the work area and off fresh concrete. If the job needs a permit or approval from the city, county or a homeowners association, we'll talk through with you who handles it before work starts.
Warranty and what concrete can and can't do
We stand behind our work, and any written guarantee for your job is described in your contract. Apart from that written guarantee, the work is provided without other promises, and to the extent California law allows, we disclaim implied warranties.
Concrete can crack. We dig out and pack the base, plan for drainage and cut control joints, which are grooves that give the slab a chosen place to crack, but no contractor can promise a slab will never crack. Small hairline cracks, slight color differences between pours and minor surface changes from weather are normal and aren't defects.
Our guarantee doesn't cover damage from things outside our control, such as tree roots, ground movement, earthquakes, flooding, heavy vehicles the slab wasn't built for, deicing salts, chemicals, or changes others make to grading or drainage after we finish.
Limits on our liability
To the extent California law allows, J&D Santa Maria Concrete Company isn't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, such as lost use of a driveway or lost business income, connected to our work or this website. Our total liability for any claim about a job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job.
We're licensed and insured. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit.
Using this website
We try to keep the information on this site accurate and current, but it's offered as is, and we don't promise it's complete or free of errors. The text, photos and other content on the site belong to J&D Santa Maria Concrete Company, and you may not copy them for commercial use without our permission.
Links to other websites are there for your convenience. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for what's on them.
Settling a disagreement
If something about your job isn't right, tell us first, because most problems get fixed fastest with a phone call and a visit to look at the concrete together. Call us at (805) 268-7763 or reach us through the Contact page, and we'll respond within 1 business day.
If we can't work it out between us, either side may take the matter to the state or local courts that serve Santa Barbara County, California, unless your written contract sets out a different process.
Governing law
These terms and any work we do for you are governed by the laws of the State of California.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time, and the version posted on this page is the one that applies. Changes don't affect a written estimate or contract you've already signed with us.
If you have a question about these terms, call us at (805) 268-7763 during our hours, Mon–Fri: 6 AM–9 PM and Sat–Sun: 7 AM–9 PM, or send us a note through the Contact page.
