Concrete work for Florin homes

Florin is a community in Sacramento County rather than a city, and the calls we get there are mostly about the ground right around the house: a driveway cracked across the middle, a patio that holds water by the back door, a walk that's lifted where it meets the garage. We make the same trip from Lodi for homeowners in Elk Grove and down in Manteca, and the work starts the same way in all of them.

When we break out an old slab, the trouble is usually underneath it, where the base was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the concrete sank with the dirt. That's why I start every Florin job below the surface.

What we pour for Florin homeowners

Most of what Florin homeowners ask us for is a new driveway or patio to replace one that's cracked or sunk, along with walkways, steps, garage floors and concrete pool decks, where a broom finish, a light swept texture, gives wet feet some grip. When the old slab has to go, we cut it up and haul it off first.

What county ground means for your slab

Florin isn't a city, so permits here are issued by Sacramento County's building permits and inspection office, not a city hall. Its list of typical projects names re-roofs, decks and water heaters but not driveways or patios, so the county is the place to ask about your job. We look into what it asks for and help you with the paperwork before work starts, and plans go in electronically, since that's the only way the county takes them.

If we're planning a new slab foundation or garage floor, it helps to know first whether your lot is in a flood zone. Owners in the unincorporated part of the county can call its Flood Zone Hotline at (916) 874-7517, and its map information service can share base flood elevations and any elevation certificate on file. Bring what you learn to the estimate and we'll plan around it.

When you call, I come out to Florin to measure the job myself, and I'm on site with our crew when we set forms and pour.

Florin concrete questions, answered

Here's what Florin homeowners usually ask before a pour. If yours isn't here, call (209) 280-3061 and I'll walk you through it.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Florin?

The price is set by the driveway's size, how thick it needs to be, how much old concrete and dirt has to come out and which finish you choose. I walk the job, measure it and go over your options and what each one means for the price before you decide.

How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

Plan on days, not hours, and you'll be walking on it well before you're parking on it, because the slab keeps curing, slowly hardening and gaining strength, after we pull the forms. Weather, thickness and any county permit all move the schedule, so I'll tell you what to plan around when I measure.

Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?

It can still get hairline cracks, because concrete shrinks as it cures, but we steer where they go and work to keep the slab from sinking. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, before the slab picks its own spot, and we dig out and pack the base so it holds.

Where should I save money on a concrete driveway or patio?

Save on the finish before you save on the base. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped work and still grips underfoot, but a thin or loose layer over the subgrade, the soil the slab sits on, is what lets concrete sink and crack, and once it's poured the only fix is tearing it out.

What licenses should a concrete contractor in Florin have?

In California a contractor needs a license from the Contractors State License Board, and getting one means passing a law and business exam and a trade exam. Businesses based in unincorporated Sacramento County also need the county's General Business License, and working without a required one can bring a fine of up to $500.00. We're fully licensed and insured.

How much of a down payment can a concrete contractor ask for in California?

No more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, under the state board's rules for home improvement work. After that, each payment should be written into the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered, so check yours before you sign.
