Commercial Concrete Services
Professional commercial concrete solutions for businesses in Salem, NH and surrounding areas.
Why Businesses Choose Us
Commercial concrete projects demand higher standards than residential work. Your business cannot afford delays, subpar quality, or unprofessional contractors disrupting operations. At PlatinumPoint Salem Concrete, we understand the unique requirements of commercial projects. We coordinate carefully with your schedule to minimize disruption, complete work efficiently, and deliver results that meet commercial building codes and performance standards. Many Salem area businesses trust us for their concrete needs because we show up when promised, work professionally, and stand behind our work.
Commercial concrete work often involves larger scale projects than residential jobs. Parking lots, loading docks, and warehouse floors cover substantial areas and must withstand heavy traffic and equipment loads. We have the equipment, crew size, and experience to handle these projects efficiently. Our team knows how to stage work so your business can continue operating during construction. We also understand the importance of proper documentation, working with inspectors, and meeting commercial insurance and bonding requirements.

Planning for Success
Commercial projects require thorough planning before work begins. We start by understanding your specific needs and constraints. When does the work need to be completed? What are the performance requirements for the concrete? Will the area need to handle vehicle traffic, heavy equipment, or just foot traffic? Are there utilities or drainage systems we need to work around? Getting clear answers to these questions upfront prevents problems during construction.
Working with Your Timeline
We know your business needs to keep operating, so we schedule work to minimize disruption. For parking lot work, we can often phase the project to keep some spaces available throughout construction. Interior work might happen during off hours or weekends when your business is closed. Loading dock projects get scheduled around your delivery patterns. We provide realistic timelines and keep you informed if weather or unforeseen conditions affect the schedule. Clear communication throughout the project helps you plan around the construction.
Permits and Code Compliance
Commercial projects almost always require building permits and inspections. We handle the permit application process and coordinate with local building departments. Our work meets current building codes for commercial construction, including requirements for concrete strength, reinforcement, thickness, and finish. We schedule inspections at appropriate stages and address any inspector comments promptly. This attention to regulatory compliance protects you from future liability and ensures your project passes final inspection.
Specialized Commercial Solutions
Different commercial spaces have different concrete requirements. A retail storefront needs attractive, durable surfaces that handle constant foot traffic and make a good impression on customers. We can provide decorative finishes, colors, and textures that enhance your business image. Warehouse floors need to be extremely flat and level to allow forklifts and pallet jacks to operate safely. We use laser-guided screeding equipment to achieve the tight tolerances required for these applications.
Restaurant kitchens present unique challenges. The floor must slope properly to floor drains for sanitation compliance. The surface needs special finishing for slip resistance even when wet. We understand health department requirements and build floors that pass inspections. For areas with chemical exposure like auto shops or manufacturing facilities, we can apply special coatings or use chemical-resistant concrete mixes. Tell us about your specific operational needs and we will specify the right concrete solution.
Parking Lot Concrete
While asphalt dominates parking lot construction, concrete offers advantages for certain applications. Concrete holds up better in areas with frequent turning and heavy loads like drive aisles and loading zones. It requires less maintenance and lasts longer than asphalt. For small parking areas or parking spaces integrated with driveway systems, concrete provides a uniform appearance. We can also install concrete sidewalks and curbing that integrate with your parking area.
Protecting Your Investment
Commercial concrete surfaces represent a significant investment in your property. Proper maintenance helps that investment last as long as possible. The good news is that concrete requires relatively little ongoing care compared to other paving materials. Regular cleaning prevents stains from setting in and keeps the surface looking professional. Addressing small problems promptly prevents them from becoming major issues that require expensive repairs.
Commercial Maintenance Recommendations
- Schedule regular power washing to remove dirt and stains
- Seal concrete every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic
- Fill cracks promptly to prevent water infiltration
- Keep drainage systems clear and functioning properly
- Address oil and chemical spills quickly to prevent staining
- Inspect regularly for signs of settling or surface deterioration
We can provide maintenance services for the concrete we install or take over care of existing surfaces. Many businesses prefer having a reliable contractor handle periodic maintenance rather than dealing with it themselves. Regular professional maintenance catches problems early and extends the life of your concrete significantly. Think of it as preventive maintenance similar to what you do for your building systems and equipment.
