What We Do

Our Services

A look at the concrete work we do most often around San Mateo.

Concrete Driveways

Built to carry daily car weight without cracking by year two.

Concrete Patios

Broomed, troweled, or textured, built to shed rain and handle foot traffic.

Stamped Concrete

Get the look of stone or brick without the upkeep of pavers.

Concrete Repair

Cracked, sunken, or flaking concrete fixed or replaced, your call after we look at it.

Retaining Walls

Walls built with drainage in mind, so they don't lean in a few years.

Concrete Steps & Walkways

Code-correct rise and run, so steps aren't a trip hazard.

Who We Are

Concrete work, done the way it should be

We pour concrete driveways, patios, walkways, and retaining walls for homeowners around San Mateo. Most people call us because something already went wrong, a slab that heaved over the winter, a driveway cracked straight through, a patio that pools water after it rains. If that's you, you're probably trying to figure out whether it needs a patch or a full tear-out. We can usually tell you that on the first visit, not after we've already started pouring.

We don't pour on bare dirt and hope. The base gets compacted first, then the rebar or mesh goes in sized to what the slab actually has to carry. We saw-cut the control joints within the first day, so the concrete cracks where we tell it to instead of wherever it wants. On clay soil, which is most of the Peninsula, that prep work is the difference between a slab that lasts and one you're calling someone about again in three years.

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Our old driveway in San Mateo had a crack running clear across it for years. New pour's been down since spring, no issues yet.

Had to reschedule twice because of rain but they called ahead both times instead of just not showing up. Broom finish turned out nice, no puddling anymore.

Wall behind our place near Redwood City was leaning bad. They put a drain pipe behind the new one, hoping that holds up better this time.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Answers to what people usually ask before calling.

How much does a concrete driveway or patio cost in San Mateo?
Concrete driveways typically cost more per square foot than patios because of the extra base prep and reinforcement needed to carry vehicle weight. Removal of old concrete, access for the mixer truck, soil conditions, and the finish chosen, broom, stamped, or exposed aggregate, all move the price. A site visit is the only way to get an accurate number, since every yard has different access and soil.
Are you licensed and insured?
Concrete work in California requires a contractor's license for jobs above a certain dollar threshold, and liability insurance covers property damage during demo and pours. Certificates should be available before any work starts, a legitimate concrete contractor keeps them on hand.
How soon can you start my project?
Scheduling depends on the season and the backlog of pours already booked, since concrete work slows down during the rainy months in the Bay Area. Most projects get a start date within a few weeks of the estimate, sooner for small repair jobs.
What areas do you serve?
Concrete services are typically available throughout San Mateo and the surrounding Peninsula, including nearby cities within roughly a 50-mile radius. Driving distance and site access can affect scheduling for jobs further from San Mateo.
Do you work on commercial properties or just residential?
Most concrete contractors handle residential driveways and patios as well as smaller commercial pads, walkways, and curbing. Larger commercial slabs sometimes require different engineering and permitting than a typical home driveway.
Will you take on a small job, like a single walkway or a crack repair?
Small concrete repairs and single-feature pours, like a short walkway or a set of steps, are common jobs on their own, not just an add-on to bigger projects. A smaller job usually means a shorter wait for a quote and faster scheduling.
How do I get started?
Describe the project, including rough size and what's wrong with the existing concrete if it's a repair, when reaching out. A site visit usually follows to measure, check the soil, and give a firm quote.
What's included in a concrete estimate?
A proper estimate breaks out demolition of old concrete, base preparation, materials, forming, the pour itself, and the finish, so there's no confusion about what's covered. A vague one-line quote is a sign corners might get cut on base work, which is the part no one sees once the slab is down.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Most concrete contractors ask for a deposit to cover materials and scheduling before the pour date, with the balance due on completion. Payment terms should be spelled out in writing in the quote, not left verbal.
What happens if it rains on the scheduled pour day?
Concrete can't be poured in heavy rain, and a surprise shower during the first few hours of curing can ruin the finish, so pours get rescheduled rather than rushed. A contractor watching the forecast should give notice a day or two ahead, not the morning of.
