FOUNDED 2026 · FOUNDER-RUN · GREATER HOUSTON

We started this company
to show our work.

Blue Jay Concrete is two founders backed by crews with 16 years in the trade. The work that decides how long a slab lasts gets covered up on pour day, so we photograph it on every job and share it with you.

WHY BLUE JAY EXISTS

The work you can't see decides how long a slab lasts.

Most of a slab's life is decided before the truck arrives. A homeowner can pay for four inches of concrete with steel on chairs and receive something thinner, over a base nobody compacted. Under a clean broom finish, a careful pour and a rushed one look exactly the same for the first few years.

Houston clay is hard on shortcuts. It swells every wet season, shrinks every dry one, and works on a weak-based slab until it breaks. The difference between a 25-year driveway and a 5-year one is often a couple thousand dollars of base work and steel that nobody can see on pour day.

Our answer: put it in the open

That gap exists because so little in this market gets written down. We think the fix is simple: make the invisible work easy to check. So on every job we do three things:

  • Publish the spec. It's on a public page before you ask.
  • Photograph the prep. Base and steel, before concrete hides them.
  • Share the checklist. You're welcome to use it on any bid, ours included.

FOUNDER-RUN · THE TWO OF US

Meet the founders

Two founders, one standard: Jay Lee and Bunnang Chy. Pour-day shots from the first jobs will join the founding wall as it fills in.

And you'll always meet us the reliable way: on your job. One of us is on or reachable for every pour we take.

Owner-run, not dispatch-run

There's no dispatch layer here and no chain of subs you never met. The person who quotes your job is an owner. The person answerable for the pour is an owner. When we publish a spec, we're the ones who stand on it: on your site, in person, with our name on the contract.

Small isn't a limitation in this trade. It means the person responsible for your pour is easy to reach, and we like it that way.

WHAT "NEW COMPANY" ACTUALLY MEANS

No decades of history yet.
Plenty of work you can check.

New company means what it sounds like. Blue Jay doesn't have decades of company history, a wall of reviews, or a photo archive going back twenty years. We'd rather tell you that plainly than dress it up.

What we can offer is real: crews with 16 years in the trade, a spec we publish before you ask, and documentation on every job from the first one on. Tenure tells you a company survived; it doesn't tell you how they build. We're happy to be measured by the standard we publish.

TEXAS HAS NO STATE LICENSE FOR CONCRETE WORK

How to vet a concrete contractor.
Including us.

Texas doesn't license concrete contractors, so a little homework goes a long way. These eight questions cover what matters most. We built the company to answer them in public, and you're welcome to run the list on any bid you get, ours included.

CONTRACTOR VETTING CHECKLIST · EIGHT QUESTIONS

PRINT IT · RUN IT ON ANY BID, OURS INCLUDED

  1. Ask for the build spec in writing.

    PSI, steel size and spacing, base depth and material, joint plan. If a crew can't hand you a spec, it's hard to know what you're actually getting.

    Blue Jay: Published at /our-spec/ and attached to every quote we send. Read our spec →

  2. Ask to see base and steel photos from past jobs.

    The work that decides a slab's life disappears the morning of the pour. Finished-surface photos prove nothing about what's under them.

    Blue Jay: We photograph every layer before concrete covers it, on every job. See documented pours →

  3. Ask for an itemized quote.

    A single lump-sum number is hard to compare. Demo, base, steel, concrete, and finishing should be separate lines you can hold side by side across bids.

    Blue Jay: Ask and you'll have it, gladly. Our pricing page shows exactly how we break it down. See how we price →

  4. Ask for the contract before you hand over a deposit.

    Scope, schedule, and payment terms belong in writing before work starts. It protects both sides and keeps everyone on the same page.

    Blue Jay: Scope and terms in writing before work starts. That's simply how we work.

  5. Ask who actually runs your pour.

    Some companies broker jobs out to crews they don't supervise. It's worth knowing who will actually be on your site.

    Blue Jay: Founder-run. An owner is on or reachable for every job we take.

  6. Ask how they prep for Houston clay.

    Expansive clay moves with every wet season. Listen for compacted select fill, moisture control, and steel on chairs. Those details make the difference here.

    Blue Jay: The prep is written into our published spec. It's most of the reason the spec exists.

  7. Ask what cracking is normal and when you can drive on it.

    Concrete cracks. Good crews control where it cracks with saw-cut joints and can walk you through the cure window up front. Crack-proof concrete isn't a promise anyone can keep.

    Blue Jay: Joint spacing and cure windows are in the spec, and you get cure guidance in writing at walkthrough.

  8. Ask for documents, not badges.

    "Licensed and insured" on a website is easy to say. It's fair to ask any contractor, us included, to put coverage and terms in writing before you sign.

    Blue Jay: We carry general liability insurance, and a certificate of insurance is available on request. Ask us anything else and we'll put that in writing too.

However you compare your quotes, we're happy to walk you through ours line by line. And if you'd like any of these answers in writing, just ask.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions, answered

Who is behind Blue Jay Concrete?

Two founders, Jay Lee and Bunnang Chy, who run the company directly: the person who quotes your job is an owner, and the person answerable for the pour is an owner. The crews doing the work carry 16 years in the trade.

Why does a new company deserve my job?

We do not ask you to take it on faith. The spec is published, every phase gets photographed before concrete covers it, and you are invited to check both at the forms. Judge the work, not the age of the logo.

Why are there no reviews on this site?

Because we will not invent them. Blue Jay opened in 2026, and reviews will appear when real customers write them. Until then, the founding projects publish here with photos of every phase, with each customer's OK.

Is Blue Jay a franchise or a lead-selling site?

Neither. This is one owner-run Houston company. When you send a quote request, an owner reads it, and nothing about your project is sold or passed to anyone else.
