Quick Answer

ZBL Concrete & Design books its spring 2027 pour calendar from November through March. A winter estimate (December–February) locks the quoted price for spring, reserves the first late-April and May pour slots, and lets us pull permits before the season starts. Pour season in the Chicago suburbs runs late April through October. Call 312-721-0835 or request a visit at zblconcrete.com/contact.

  • Estimates: December–February, on site, samples in hand
  • Price lock: Winter quote honored through the spring pour
  • First pours: Late April, in booking order
  • Service area: Lockport, IL + 32 suburbs across Will & DuPage County
  • Licensed & insured: Yes — Illinois, general liability + workers' comp

Every spring the same thing happens: the first warm weekend hits, the phone rings off the hook, and the homeowners who call in May end up poured in July. The ones who book in winter are done by Memorial Day. Here's what booking early actually gets you.

Why Book in Winter

Winter estimate

Bryan measures December through February, brings pattern and color samples to your door, and you have a written quote within the week.

Locked price

The winter number is the spring number. Material increases in March and April don't touch a booked job.

First April slots

Pours start the last week of April. Booking order is pour order — winter bookings go first.

Permits done early

We file village permits in February and March, so your pour isn't waiting on a building department in May.

Spring Booking FAQ

Can you really do an estimate in January?
Yes. Bryan measures in the snow all winter. He brings pattern and color samples, walks the site, and you get a written quote the same week. The only thing we can't do in January is pour — and that's exactly why booking now gets you the first spring slots.
How does the price lock work?
The number on your winter quote is the number you pay in spring. Material prices usually move in March and April; if you've booked, that's our problem, not yours. The lock covers the scope on the quote — if you add a walkway later, that's priced at the same per-square-foot rate.
Do I need a deposit to hold a spring date?
Yes. A deposit holds your place on the pour calendar and lets us order materials and file permits early. The amount is on your quote, and it comes off the final balance. If we can't do the job for any reason on our end, it's refunded in full.
What if spring weather delays the pour?
It happens — we don't pour if the forecast calls for below 40°F within 48 hours or heavy rain on pour day. You'll hear from us about a week out, and a delayed job keeps its place in line; it moves to the next good window, it doesn't go to the back.
When will my project actually be poured?
Pour season opens in late April once overnight temperatures stay above freezing. Winter bookings fill late April and May in the order they came in. Book in December or January and you're typically poured before Memorial Day; book in March and you're looking at June or July.
Can I change the pattern or color after booking?
Yes, up until we order materials (about two weeks before your pour). Bryan will re-confirm pattern, base color and release color with you in March before anything is ordered.
