How ACR Concrete Construction Got Started

Summary:

Cesar explains that ACR Concrete Construction began five years ago, and the reason was straightforward. He and his brother were both working as staff for another concrete company. He watched his brother putting in long days of hard work, but the hours often didn't get counted the way they should have, and the paycheck at the end of the week was always small. That gap between the work going in and the money coming out is what pushed them to start something of their own. They already knew the trade and knew how to do the work correctly; what they wanted was to be paid fairly for it and to control the quality of what they put in the ground. The company grew from there into a family business the two brothers run together with their own crew, serving Monroe and the greater Seattle area.

Answer:

We started our company five years ago. Before that, I was staff working for another company. My brother was working there too, and I would see him doing a lot of work, long days, hard work. But sometimes we didn't complete our hours. The check was always small. That's really why we started the company. We already knew how to do the work. We knew how to do it right. We just weren't getting paid for what we were putting in the ground. So we decided to do it ourselves. It started small, just the work we could take on with our own hands. Now my brother Arturo and I run it together, and we've built a crew around us. We serve Monroe and out through the greater Seattle area. Most of our work comes from people telling other people about us. That's how we like it. When it's your own company and your name is on the job, you work different. You do it like it's your own house.
