Concrete work for Sierra Madre homes
When a driveway has cracked or sunk or a patio holds water, we break out the old concrete, fix the ground under it and pour again. The price moves with the size, the tear-out, the base work and the finish. How long you're without the driveway depends on curing, the wait while new concrete hardens, and I'll give you both answers on site.
We're based in Arcadia and work in the cities around it, including Monrovia and Pasadena. Sierra Madre remembers the floods and mudslides that came out of its canyon, so the first thing I check is where water will run off a new slab. Contractors based outside the city need a city business license before they can apply for a permit here, and that part is on us, not you.
Concrete work we do in Sierra Madre
Get a quoteConcrete driveway building
A new driveway when the old one has cracked through, sunk at the garage or lifted at the street. We dig out, pack the base, pour and finish.
Concrete patio construction
Patios sloped away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling at the door. We give them a broom finish, light grooves that give wet feet some grip.
Stamped concrete services
If you want the look of stone or brick without loose pieces to work free, we press a pattern and color into the concrete while it's still wet.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways replaced where a section has tipped into a trip edge. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that decide where cracks go, before the concrete can choose for itself.
Garage floor concrete
A new garage slab when the old one is cracked, stained through or sloping the wrong way. We pour it thick enough for the car and finish it smooth for sweeping.
Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or exposed-aggregate concrete for entries and patios where plain gray won't do. It costs more than a broom finish and lasts only as long as the base under it.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a slope pushes toward a patio, driveway or house, we build a reinforced wall on a footing, with drainage behind it so water doesn't shove it over.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and storage rooms. We pour them level over a packed base, with a vapor barrier underneath to keep ground moisture out.
Concrete pool decks
Decks around a new or existing pool, sloped so splash water runs to the drains instead of under the slab, with a finish that grips wet feet.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps rebuilt when they've cracked, settled or pulled away from the door. We tie them to footings with rebar, the steel that holds concrete together.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for a garage, addition or backyard building, formed and reinforced to the plans, because nobody gets a second look at the base once it's poured.
Foundation installation
New foundations under additions and rebuilds, from the trench up. Whatever depth and steel the plans call for is what goes in the ground.
Concrete parking lot building
Small lots and shared parking pads for property owners. We grade them so water runs off and pour them thick enough for cars coming and going all day.
Concrete footings
Footings for walls, posts, patio covers and additions. A footing is the wide concrete base that spreads the weight so a structure doesn't sink into the dirt.
Foundation raising
When part of a slab or foundation has dropped, we find out why before we lift it, because raising it without fixing the cause just buys time.
Concrete cutting
Saw cutting for doorways and utility trenches. We also cut out one damaged section without breaking the rest, or add the joints a slab never got.

Why hire us for Sierra Madre concrete
The base gets the budget
If the budget has to give somewhere, I'd trim the finish before the base. Nobody sees the base the day we pour, but it decides whether the slab settles later.
