Our approach starts under the slab
Most concrete trouble starts underneath. When a driveway sinks or a patio cracks in odd places, the usual cause is a base that was raked smooth instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled right along with the loose dirt. That's why I look at the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before we ever talk about finishes or color.
Water comes next. A slab that tips toward your house sends every storm at your foundation, so we set the slope to carry water away. We plan control joints, the shallow cuts that give concrete a place to crack where you won't notice, and we cut them on time. We'd also rather pour in the cool of the morning than in midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top.
When the budget gets tight, the base is the first thing people want to trim, because nobody sees it on day one. I'd cut back the decorative finish before the prep, since a plain broom finish, that light grippy texture, on solid ground usually outlasts a fancy surface on loose dirt. I learned that as a helper hauling and mixing for a small crew, and you can read more about how I got started.
What our concrete crew builds in San Fernando, CA
San Fernando Concrete is a concrete contractor in San Fernando, CA, offering 16 services, from new driveways and patios to foundations, footings and cutting out old slabs. Price mostly comes down to size, how much old concrete and soft dirt has to come out, how thick the slab is, the rebar, which is the steel inside that holds cracks tight, and any stamping or color. The schedule turns on the prep, any permit and curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before you walk or drive on it. Your written estimate spells out the prep, the work and the cleanup, so you see your own figure in writing.
We build new concrete driveways for homes, digging out and packing the base first so the slab and your car sit on firm ground.
Want room out back for a table and a grill? We pour concrete patios sloped away from your house so rain runs off toward the yard.
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored while it's still wet, so a patio, walkway or pool deck can look like stone, brick or tile.
A sidewalk or front walkway gives people a flat, even path from the street to the door, and we build them for homes and businesses alike.
Is your garage floor cracked, stained or sunk in spots? We pour a new concrete floor that's flat, easy to sweep and ready for cars and workbenches.
Decorative concrete covers color, stains, exposed stone and special finishes, for homeowners who want their slab to suit the house instead of looking plain gray.
When a slope keeps washing into your yard or driveway, a concrete retaining wall holds the soil back and gives you level ground to use.
We install concrete floors for shops, sheds, additions and commercial spaces, placing the slab over a packed base for a flat, solid floor that takes daily use.
What should go around a pool? A concrete deck with a textured surface for wet feet and a slope that sends splash water to the drains.
Loose or crumbling front steps are a trip waiting to happen, so we form and pour new concrete steps with even step heights and a grippy surface.
We build slab foundations for homes, additions, garages and accessory buildings, starting with a dug-out, packed subgrade and steel set in place before the pour.
Foundation installation means placing the footings, walls or slab a new structure stands on, and homeowners, builders and property owners call us when they're adding something new.
Small businesses and property owners call us for concrete parking lots, built with the base, thickness and drainage that daily car traffic calls for.
Footings are the buried concrete pads and strips that carry the weight of walls, posts and decks, and we dig and pour them for homes and builders.
If part of your house or slab has settled, foundation raising lifts it back toward level so doors, floors and concrete line up better.
Need a doorway in a wall, a trench for a pipe or a cracked section gone? Concrete cutting removes just that piece and leaves the rest in place.
Why property owners choose our concrete crew
Plenty of crews can pour concrete. Here's what you get when you work with us, and if it sounds like the right fit, tell us about your job.
The owner, start to finish
I come out for the first look myself and run the crew on site, so what you asked for on day one is what gets poured. You won't be explaining your job to someone new halfway through.
Estimates you can compare
Your written estimate lays out the prep, the work, the cleanup and everything included, so you can set it next to other bids and see who left the base work out.
Straight talk about new concrete
Concrete can still crack, and it needs curing time before you use it. I'll tell you up front what to expect and how to care for it, so nothing about your new slab catches you off guard.
Clean street, clean yard
We keep washout and broken concrete out of the street and gutters, and we clean up your property before we leave, so the only thing left behind is the new work.
Our process from first call to walkthrough
Here's what happens after you reach out. It's the same few steps whether it's a front walkway or a parking lot, and you'll know where things stand at each one.
Call or send a message
Call us at (818) 806-6170 or send a message through the form with a few lines about the job, plus a photo if you've got one. We reply within one business day, and our hours run seven days a week, 8 AM to 9 PM, so reach out whenever it suits you.
Site visit and written estimate
I come out myself to see the job, measure it and hear what you have in mind. The estimate is free and done on site, with no obligation, and the written version spells out the prep, the work and the cleanup. Once you're ready, we set a date and take care of any permit the job calls for.
Our crew does the work
Our own crew does the job with me running it on site, so the plan we agreed on is the one that gets built. We dig out and pack the base, set the forms and steel, pour, finish and cut the joints, and I'll tell you about anything we find once the old concrete is out.
Walk the finished job
When the work is done, we walk it together before we pack up, so you can point out anything that doesn't look right. I'll go over how to treat the new concrete while it cures, and you're welcome to call me with questions long after we've left.
Help deciding what your concrete job needs
At the visit I check the ground, the slope and where your water runs now, and I look at what has to come out before anything new goes in. Then I lay out your choices, like a plain broom finish or stamped, a thicker slab where trucks park, or replacing one section versus the whole thing, and what each one changes.
Permits come up too. Inside city limits, San Fernando's Building and Safety Division issues building permits and inspects the work, and when your job needs one, we pull it and see it through plan check and inspections. The state licensing board requires a contractor's license on work that needs a permit, uses hired workers or runs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, so ask every bidder about theirs.
