Concrete work for Elk Grove homeowners, done once
Most concrete calls start with something you can see, a driveway sunk by the garage, a patio where water pools by the back door, a slab cracked across the middle. The cause is usually underneath, in a base raked level instead of dug out and packed. Our driveways, patios and walks start with the subgrade, what the slab sits on, dug out, packed and sloped to shed water.
We're based in Davis and work the cities around it, from Woodland and Winters out to Roseville and Elk Grove, and the same crew pours in Fairfield, Florin and Rancho Cordova. I do the walk-throughs and estimates myself, our crew lead runs the work on site, and I'm there for the pours.
Price turns on size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base the ground needs and the finish, plain or stamped. The base is the first thing people want to trim, because nobody sees it on day one, and it's the last thing I'd cut. The schedule turns on curing, the wait while the slab hardens. You'll get your own number when I walk the job.
What we pour in Elk Grove
Concrete driveway building
If the old driveway has sunk or split, we haul it out, rebuild the base and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio out back, sloped so rain runs toward the yard instead of the back door.
Stamped concrete services
Pattern and color pressed into fresh concrete, for a patio or walk that looks like stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways that have heaved or settled into a trip hazard get cut out and repoured flat.
Garage floor concrete
For a garage floor that's cracked, dusty or uneven, a new slab gives you a clean, level surface.
Decorative concrete
Colored, exposed-aggregate or scored finishes when plain gray doesn't suit the house or the yard.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down or a slope keeps creeping onto the patio, a poured wall holds it back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, additions and outbuildings, set level so the finished floor goes down without fuss.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck needs grip underfoot and a slope that keeps splash water out of the pool.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps that rock, crumble or rise unevenly, rebuilt with even risers and solid footing.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for additions, garages and new builds, poured on a dug-out, packed base.
Foundation installation
When a builder or owner needs a foundation formed and poured to plan, ready for framing.
Concrete parking lot building
For property owners with a lot that's broken up or ponding, we pour it in sections that drain.
Concrete footings
Footings for walls, posts, patio covers and additions, dug to the size the plans set.
Foundation raising
If part of a house or slab has settled, we look at lifting it back toward level.
Concrete cutting
Saw-cutting for a new door, a utility trench or a clean edge where old concrete meets new.

Concrete questions in Elk Grove
Does a concrete contractor in Elk Grove need a California license?
Yes, in most cases, because the state licensing board requires a license when a project needs a building permit, uses employee labor, or the contracts total $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A bigger job can't be split into smaller contracts to get under that line. We're licensed and fully insured.
Can I pour my own patio in Elk Grove without a license?
Yes, if it's the home you live in and you meet the state board's owner-builder conditions. The board looks at how long you've lived there before the work is done and how many structures you've used the exemption on recently, so check those first. Just know the base is the part that's hard to redo.
How does Elk Grove adopt the California Building Code?
The City of Elk Grove adopts the Building Code through its own buildings and construction code, which also covers land grading, erosion control and flood damage prevention. Elk Grove also has a local amendment filed on the state building standards commission's list of local changes.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It'll crack, because concrete does, but it should crack along the control joints we plan into the slab. Cracks that wander across the middle usually mean the base settled or the joints went in late or not at all, so that's where we spend our time.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway in Elk Grove?
Longer than you'll wait to walk on it, because the slab has to cure more before it carries a car's weight. We plan pours for early in the day so the top doesn't dry too fast and turn dusty later, and we'll tell you when it's ready for feet and for tires.
