What We Do

Our Services

A quick look at the concrete work we take on most.

Concrete Driveways

A driveway that can take the weight of your car and the trash truck without heaving.

Concrete Patios

An outdoor slab that drains away from the house instead of pooling by the back door.

Stamped Concrete

The look of pavers or stone without the joints that grow weeds.

Concrete Repair

We fix the crack now instead of letting it turn into a trip hazard.

Concrete Foundations

A footing set to spec and tied into the soil, not guessed at.

Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways

Even, code-compliant walkways that don't puddle after a storm.

Who We Are

Concrete Work Done by People Who Live Here

We pour and repair concrete for homes around San Mateo, driveways, patios, walkways, foundations and the odd garage slab that's sinking on one corner. Most people find us because something already went wrong: a driveway that heaved after last winter's rain, a patio slab pulling away from the house, steps that settled unevenly. If that's you, we can tell you on-site whether it's a full tear-out or a repair, and why.

We set forms to grade and compact the base ourselves before any truck shows up, because a slab is only as good as the dirt under it. Control joints get cut the same day we finish the pour, not whenever we get around to it, so the concrete cracks where we tell it to instead of wherever it wants. We run rebar on driveways and anything that'll carry a vehicle, since wire mesh doesn't hold up once the soil moves. You can walk on a new slab in about two days and drive on it after a week, and we'll give you the exact timeline for your pour.

What people said afterwards

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Our driveway in San Mateo had a crack right where the garbage truck backs over it. New pour hasn't moved since.

Guys showed up a day late because of rain, which was annoying, but the patio slab pitches away from the house exactly like they said it would.

Did stamped concrete for our walkway out in Redwood City, looks like slate but nobody has to reseal grout lines. Color came out a little darker than the sample but we like it.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people usually ask before booking a concrete job.

Do you offer free estimates for concrete work?
Most concrete contractors, including ones serving San Mateo, provide a free on-site estimate for driveway, patio and repair work. A short visit lets the contractor measure the area, check the base soil and give an accurate price instead of a phone guess. Estimates for larger jobs like foundations may take longer since they often involve reviewing plans or soil reports.
Are you licensed and insured?
A concrete contractor working in California should carry a C-8 concrete contractor license and general liability insurance. Ask for proof of both before signing a contract, and confirm the license is active through the California Contractors State License Board. Insurance matters most on driveway and foundation jobs where equipment and excavation are involved.
How soon can you start my concrete project?
Scheduling for concrete work typically runs two to four weeks out, longer in spring and early summer when demand for driveways and patios peaks. Smaller repair jobs, like a cracked slab or a settled step, can often be scheduled faster than a full driveway replacement. Weather also affects start dates, since concrete shouldn't be poured in heavy rain or when overnight temperatures drop near freezing.
What areas do you cover?
Concrete contractors based in San Mateo typically serve the surrounding Peninsula, including Redwood City, Foster City, Burlingame, Belmont and San Carlos, along with parts of San Francisco and the South Bay. Travel distance can affect scheduling and pricing on smaller jobs, so it's worth confirming coverage for a specific address.
Do you work on both residential and commercial properties?
Most concrete contractors handle residential driveways, patios and walkways as their core business, while also taking on smaller commercial jobs like parking bumpers, sidewalks or loading areas. Commercial work often involves different code requirements and thicker slab specs than a typical home driveway.
Will you take on a small job, like a single cracked slab?
Yes, plenty of concrete contractors take on single-slab repairs, a cracked step, or a small walkway patch, not just full driveways. Smaller jobs may have a minimum charge to cover setup and equipment costs, since forming and mixing for a small area isn't much less work than a larger one.
How do I get started with a concrete project?
Getting started usually means a phone call or a site visit where the contractor looks at the existing slab or the area to be poured. From there you'll get a written estimate that outlines the scope, the base prep, the finish and the timeline before any work begins.
What does concrete work typically cost, and what changes the price?
Concrete driveways and patios in the Bay Area typically run somewhere between $10 and $20 per square foot, depending on thickness, reinforcement and finish. Price moves up for stamped or colored concrete, steep grading, poor soil that needs extra base prep, or access issues that make it hard to get a truck close to the pour site.
Do you require a deposit before starting?
Most concrete contractors ask for a deposit, often 10 to 30 percent of the total, to cover materials and scheduling before work begins. The remaining balance is typically due on completion, and any contract should spell out the payment schedule in writing before you sign it.
What happens if it rains on the day my pour is scheduled?
Concrete shouldn't be poured in heavy rain, since water can wash out the surface finish and weaken the top layer of the slab. A contractor will typically reschedule the pour for the next dry window and communicate the new date rather than pour through bad weather.
