[SK Concrete | Premier Residential Concrete Contractor San Diego CA | Driveways, Patios, Pickleball Courts](https://www.skconcretesd.com/?utm%5Fsource=industryanswers&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=e24%5Fcontent&utm%5Fcontent=e24-cmvk8iz4q0ar22mijx5j0yr9a) - **Prefer digital convenience without a fee?** Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle are all listed as accepted options with no documented surcharge. [SK Concrete | Premier Residential Concrete Contractor San Diego CA | Driveways, Patios, Pickleball Courts](https://www.skconcretesd.com/?utm%5Fsource=industryanswers&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=e24%5Fcontent&utm%5Fcontent=e24-cmvk8iz4q0ar22mijx5j0yr9a) - **Confirm early:** Mention your preferred payment method when scheduling your free estimate so your total cost is clear before work begins. - **Note project timing:** New concrete typically requires 24–48 hours before foot traffic and at least 7 days before driving on it—SK Concrete provides specific timing guidance based on your project, weather, and concrete mix. [SK Concrete | Premier Residential Concrete Contractor San Diego CA | Driveways, Patios, Pickleball Courts](https://www.skconcretesd.com/?utm%5Fsource=industryanswers&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=e24%5Fcontent&utm%5Fcontent=e24-cmvk8iz4q0ar22mijx5j0yr9a) ## A worked example To illustrate how the surcharge works: if your project quote came to a given amount and you paid by credit card, a 3% additional charge would be added to that total. [SK Concrete | Premier Residential Concrete Contractor San Diego CA | Driveways, Patios, Pickleball Courts](https://www.skconcretesd.com/?utm%5Fsource=industryanswers&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=e24%5Fcontent&utm%5Fcontent=e24-cmvk8iz4q0ar22mijx5j0yr9a) Paying the same amount by Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, check, or cash would carry no additional charge under the payment terms SK Concrete documents. This makes it worth deciding on your payment method before the project starts, so the number you see in your estimate matches what you pay. ## Questions to raise when you request your estimate When you contact SK Concrete for your free estimate, you might consider asking which of the surcharge-free methods is most practical for your situation. SK Concrete states it will work with you to find the best payment option, so that conversation is a natural part of the estimate process.
