Concrete work for Galt homes

Galt sits between our home city of Lodi and Elk Grove, close enough that I come out and measure jobs here myself. Most calls come from homeowners with a driveway that's cracked and dropped at the garage, a patio that holds water after a rain, or a front walk that's lifted at the joints.

We do the same work in Garden Acres and the other cities around Lodi, and the cause underneath is usually the same. Somebody raked the dirt flat instead of digging it out and packing it, so the slab settled with the dirt, and that's why my estimate starts with the ground, not the finish.

Concrete services we offer in Galt

Most Galt calls are for driveways and patios that have sunk, cracked or started holding water, plus front walks that have lifted at the joints. We tear out the old concrete, rebuild the base and pour new, and we handle concrete sidewalk building, steps, garage floors and footings too.

What Galt's city line and lots mean for your slab

The first thing I check on a Galt job is which side of the city line your house sits on. The City of Galt covers homes inside its limits, but the city is bordered all the way around by unincorporated land in Sacramento and San Joaquin counties, so a house just past the edge is county territory. That decides whose rules your project follows.

Next I look at where your water runs, because a slab that falls toward the house sends rain against your foundation instead of out to the yard. When a budget gets tight, I'd rather keep a plain broom finish, a light brushed texture for grip, than skimp on the subgrade, the packed base the slab sits on, since nobody sees that part once it's poured.

If you're in Galt, I'll measure your job myself, be on site when we set forms and pour, and tell you plainly what to expect.

Galt concrete questions, answered

Here are the questions Galt homeowners ask most before a concrete job. If yours isn't here, call (209) 280-3061 and ask.

Who issues permits for concrete work in Galt, CA?

The City of Galt Building Division issues building permits for homes inside the city limits, and it also reviews plans and does the inspections. Before work starts, we look into what the city asks for on your job and help you with the paperwork. If you're just outside the limits, you're in county territory, so we check with the county instead.

Can I get a concrete driveway permit online in Galt?

The city's online permit list doesn't name driveways or patios. It covers minor plumbing, electrical and mechanical work, minor remodels, reroofs, window replacement and demo, and other permit types go in at the Building Division counter or by mail. Ask the division whether your job needs one, or let us check for you.

When does a concrete contractor need a California license?

The state licensing board requires a license when the project needs a building permit, uses employee labor, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and a bigger job can't be split up to get under that. Galt also requires a city business license for anyone doing business in the city. We're fully licensed and insured.

Who do I call about my parcel's flood zone in Galt?

Call the City of Galt at (209) 366-7230. Sacramento County sends residents of Galt and its other incorporated cities to their own city offices for a parcel's flood zone status, and that's the number it lists for Galt.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Galt?

The price comes down to the size of the slab, how much old concrete we tear out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. A broom finish costs less than stamped or decorative work, and rebar, the steel that keeps cracks from spreading apart, adds some. I measure on site and go over your options before you decide.

How long will I be without my driveway after a new pour?

You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it's still curing, slowly gaining strength while it holds its moisture. How long depends on the mix and the weather the week we pour, so I give you the dates before we start and you can plan where to park.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?

Your new slab can still get hairline cracks, and I'll say that up front, but a packed base and control joints keep them small and in places we chose. Control joints are shallow cuts that give the concrete a planned line to crack along as it shrinks, and we cut them on time instead of late.
