Concrete Contractor in Reardan, WA: Driveways, Shop Slabs, Foundations & Patios

Concrete in Reardan, WA, poured for Lincoln County's 30-inch frost line and 50 psf snow country. Raven Buildings pours driveways, patios, shop slabs and building foundations in and around Reardan. Reardan sits in Lincoln County, so the frost depth, permit office and inspection schedule are different from what you'd plan for a few miles east in Spokane County.

Concrete work we do around Reardan

• Driveways and approaches: new driveways, replacements and the apron where you meet the road
• Shop and garage slabs: floors for pole buildings, metal buildings and detached garages
• Foundations and footings: for shops, machine sheds, homes and additions
• Patios and walkways: broom finish or stamped
• Ag and equipment pads: pads for bins, tanks, equipment and loafing areas

Lincoln County numbers that shape a Reardan pour

Lincoln County publishes its own design guidelines, and we plan footings and slabs around them:

• Frost depth: 30 inches, measured from finished grade to the bottom of the footing
• Snow load: 50 psf ground and 40 psf roof minimum, which drives footing sizes under shops and garages
• Slab rebar: the County says rebar is not required in slabs but is highly recommended
• Soils: the County points owners to the USDA Web Soil Survey to research the soils on their site

For comparison, the Spokane City and County joint policy sets frost depth at 24 inches. Our frost depth guide explains why footing depth matters.

Do you need a permit for concrete in Reardan?

It depends on what the concrete is for:

• Driveways, walks and patios: Lincoln County's building code follows the International Building Code's list of exempt work in Section 105.2, which covers driveways and walks no more than 30 inches above grade
• Approaches onto county roads: Lincoln County requires an access permit for every approach to a county road, and existing approaches are re-evaluated when the use changes, for example from a farm approach to a residential one
• Foundations and building slabs: these are part of the building permit for the shop, garage or home they support
• Inside town limits: Lincoln County's permit form says Reardan building permit requests must be signed off by a town representative before the County issues them, and the Town handles zoning questions through its Land Use Application

Inspection timing in Lincoln County

The County is upfront that it has one building inspector:

• Book early: the County asks for at least two days' notice for inspections
• Plan for waits: it says inspections can sometimes take more than a week, though it tries to schedule within 2 business days
• Be ready: an extra fee may be charged for excessive repeat inspections
• Call before you dig: dial 811 before any excavation

We schedule footing and slab inspections around that, so the truck isn't ordered before the inspector has signed off.

What concrete costs

Raven's rates for a concrete patio, including site prep and the pour, are about $12 to $20 per sq ft for broom finish and $18 to $30 per sq ft for stamped, depending on size and whether a pump is needed.
