Paradigm Concrete & Construction, Inc. Comparative Summary

With 37 years of experience, Paradigm Concrete and Construction, Inc. owner Jose Salazar is no stranger to residential concrete and masonry work. “We take on every project, small or large,” says Mr. Salazar, who co-owns the company with his partner, Alan Bellamy. “Ensuring the customers’ satisfaction and striving to improve our overall service is an important part of our success.”

Paradigm Concrete provides its clients with a realistic timeline and then commits to it, which allows the company to coordinate seamlessly with other contractors on a project, says Mr. Salazar. Years of experience have prepared him and Mr. Bellamy to help clients handle site preparation problems that may arise before a project begins. Their comprehensive project management skills help their teams diagnose any issues and recommend good solutions. They can often identify potential drainage or structural problems at a project site, such as surface water, natural water channels and waterproofing. Before work begins, they may recommend additional site preparation work or plan design changes to help clients avoid spending money on unnecessary work.

Rather than risking the pitfalls of wire mesh or other less-reliable solutions, says Mr. Salazar, Paradigm Concrete uses rebar structural support for most projects. It also pays close attention to safety at worksites, using an array of barricades, safety barriers and tape.

Many clients appreciate the crew’s use of company-owned dump trucks, says Mr. Salazar, which makes daily removal of demolition material and construction debris a simple task. They’re able to avoid using parked dumpsters in front of a house, which are often unsightly and occupy valuable parking areas.

“Alan and I are working partners,” notes Mr. Salazar. “We work on every job with our crew, and we take pride in being prompt and accessible so homeowners can always reach us. We’re very respectful of people's property.”
