Concrete contractor work we do in El Cerrito, CA
Concrete driveway building
We dig out, pack the base and pour a driveway that drains toward the street. Size, the dig-out and truck access set the price, and the on-site estimate gives your number.
Concrete patio construction
Want a new patio? We pour it sloped away from the house, and timing turns on prep and curing, the wait before you can walk on it.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's wet and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, for patios, walks and pool decks.
Concrete sidewalk building
Did a tree root heave your sidewalk? We break out the lifted sections and pour new walk that sits flush with the rest.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes the weight of your car every day, so we pour it on a packed base with rebar, the steel that holds the slab together.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns for a patio, walk or entry that should look like more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
We build reinforced concrete retaining walls to hold back a sloped yard, with drainage behind them so water has somewhere to go besides against the wall.
Concrete floor installation
Need a slab floor for a shop, studio or basement? We pour and finish interior floors flat and smooth enough for whatever goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck gets wet and walked on barefoot, so we give it a finish with grip and slope it so water runs off instead of sitting.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour front and back steps with even rises, so each step is the height your feet expect.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is the concrete floor and footing a new house, addition or garage sits on, poured to the plans and the inspector's checks.
Foundation installation
For a new build or a replaced foundation, we work from the engineer's plans, pull the permit under our license and book the inspections.
Concrete parking lot building
Own a small lot or a shared driveway? We pour concrete parking areas thick enough for the traffic, with slope that carries water to the drains.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads and strips under posts, decks, walls and additions, and we size and pour them to what the plans call for.
Foundation raising
When part of the house has settled and floors slope or doors stick, we raise and support that section, and an engineer may need to look first.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for new openings, plumbing trenches and clean edges where an old slab meets new, so the break is straight instead of ragged.
What good concrete work looks like
Why El Cerrito homeowners call our crew
Trained on city sidewalks
I learned this trade on a city crew pouring sidewalk, curb and gutter. So we know what the city looks for where your driveway or walk meets the street, and we build that edge to match.
Estimator runs the pour
I come out to see your job and write the estimate, and I'm on site running the crew when we pour. Nothing gets lost in a handoff between what we talked about and what gets built.
Base and slope first
We settle the subgrade, what the slab sits on, plus the slope and the control joints before any concrete shows up. Concrete's going to crack, so those cuts tell it where, and the slope keeps water moving away from your house. If the budget's tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base, because you can redo a surface but not the ground under it.
