Concrete work for Arcadia homes, base first
I started our concrete business here in Arcadia in 2017, after running a hauling business that mostly hauled other people's broken concrete. Usually the problem was the ground under it. So that's where we start on driveways, patios and steps, by digging out and packing the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on.
We work in Arcadia and the cities around it, including Pasadena, Sierra Madre and Monrovia, and if yours isn't listed, ask. When an Arcadia job needs a permit, the city's Building Services issues it, and state law says a licensed contractor or the owner pulls it. Contractors working in the city also carry a city business license. We pull the permit and handle the inspections.
What we pour around Arcadia
Get a quoteConcrete driveway building
When the old driveway has sunk or pools water by the garage, we tear it out, rebuild the base and pour new concrete sloped away from the house.
Concrete patio construction
A patio slab for the back yard, poured with control joints, shallow cuts that give the slab a planned place to crack instead of a random one.
Stamped concrete services
Pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, stamped concrete can pass for stone or brick. It needs the same packed base as a plain slab.
Concrete sidewalk building
New walks and side paths, or the section that's lifted into a trip edge. We give them a broom finish, a brushed texture that grips when wet.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage slab is cracked or tilts toward the back wall, we break it out and pour a new floor built to carry a car's weight.
Decorative concrete
Color, borders and textured finishes for a slab people look at. Most of it gets decided at the pour, so we settle the look before the truck comes.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a slope pushes soil toward the patio or driveway, a poured wall holds it back, with a footing below and drainage behind to let the water out.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for a room addition, workshop or converted space, poured level over a packed base and a plastic vapor barrier that keeps ground moisture down.
Concrete pool decks
The concrete around a pool takes bare feet, splash water and chlorine. We slope it to drain away from the pool and give it a finish that grips.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps that have cracked, pulled away from the house or gone uneven. We form each step the same height, because an odd one trips people.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for an addition, garage or backyard building, reinforced with rebar, the steel bars that hold the concrete together when the ground shifts.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new homes and additions, dug, formed and poured to the approved plans, then inspected before anyone builds on them.
Concrete parking lot building
For a property owner with a lot, apron or shared drive breaking up under traffic. Heavier loads call for a thicker slab and a deeper base.
Concrete footings
Footings are the buried concrete under a wall, post or patio cover that spreads its weight into firm ground. Too shallow, and whatever's on top sinks.
Foundation raising
When a slab or part of a foundation has settled and doors stick or floors slope, we lift it back toward level and go after the cause.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new drain line, a doorway or a damaged section, so we replace only what's broken instead of the whole slab.

Why Arcadia homeowners call us
The base gets the budget
The base is what people want to trim, since nobody sees it. We dig it out and pack it, because a slab is only as good as what's under it.
A price you understand first
I write the estimate myself. The price turns on size, base work and finish, and how long you stay off it depends on curing, the wait while new concrete hardens.
On site with our crew
We're fully licensed and insured, and I stay on site with our crew rather than handing it off after the estimate. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
