Commercial Concrete in Greenville, SC

Commercial concrete jobs are quoted per project, because size, access, specifications and scheduling around your business drive the price far more than a per-square-foot average. As a guide, HomeGuide’s 2026 national figures put concrete slabs at $6–$12 per square foot and polished warehouse-scale floors as low as $3–$6 per square foot over 5,000 square feet. In South Carolina, a general contractor license is required when a project’s total cost exceeds $10,000.

Slabs and sidewalks

Building pads, dumpster pads, loading areas and sidewalks are the core of most commercial concrete work. Expect the quote to specify thickness, concrete strength, reinforcement, joint layout and base, just as with residential work, but to the project’s drawings rather than rules of thumb.

Sidewalks run about $7–$17 per square foot for standard work. Remove-and-replace sections cost $10–$25+ per square foot. See sidewalks and steps.

Warehouse and shop floors

Two common finishes:

  • Polished concrete grinds and densifies the slab itself. It is durable, easy to clean and gets cheaper per square foot as the area grows. See polished concrete.
  • Resinous coatings (epoxy, polyurea, polyaspartic) add chemical resistance and color-coded zones. Downtime and moisture testing matter. See floor coatings.

Ramps and accessibility

Ramps, curb cuts and accessible routes at businesses must meet the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Your contractor should build to the drawings and confirm slopes, landings and handrails meet the standard before the pour. If there are no drawings, ask who is responsible for the design.

Parking

Most Upstate parking lots are asphalt. Paving, resurfacing, sealcoating and striping are covered on parking lot paving.

Scheduling around operations

  • Phasing: close half a lot or one bay at a time so you stay open.
  • Cure times: concrete needs about 7 days before vehicle traffic and longer for heavy loads; fast-cure coatings can reopen a floor in a day.
  • After-hours work: grinding, coatings and striping can often be scheduled for nights or weekends. Ask about noise, dust and any premium.

What to check before you hire

  • License: in South Carolina, general contractors need a Contractor’s Licensing Board license for projects over $10,000. Check it on the SC LLR licensee lookup.
  • Insurance: ask for certificates of general liability and workers’ compensation insurance naming your business.
  • Written scope: drawings or specifications, mix strength, thickness, reinforcement, joints and finish.
  • Schedule and access: working hours, staging areas and how traffic will be managed.

Commercial concrete questions

Do contractors carry commercial insurance?

Licensed commercial contractors should carry general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers’ compensation. Ask for certificates of insurance before work starts, and ask to be named as an additional insured where your lease or lender requires it.

Can commercial concrete work happen after hours?

Often, yes. Grinding, coatings, sealcoating and striping are commonly scheduled for nights or weekends to keep a business open. Ask about any premium and about noise and dust limits.

What size commercial jobs do you handle?

It depends on the project and which contractors in our network are available. Describe the scope on the form, including size, location and timing, and a contractor will tell you whether they can take it on.
