Concrete work across Stockton's neighborhoods

Stockton is a big city with a lot of different housing in it, from older homes on narrow lots near downtown to newer subdivisions with wide driveways and two-car garages out on the edges. On the older streets we usually find driveways and walks that have cracked, sunk or lifted over the years. In the newer tracts it's more often a back patio, a side yard slab or a driveway that needs widening.

We're based up the road in Lodi and do the same work in Elk Grove, so a Stockton job gets the same crew and the same prep. On older lots that usually means breaking out a tired slab before we pour, and on newer ones it means matching the grade and finish the builder left.

What we pour for Stockton homes

Most Stockton calls we get are for driveways that cracked or sank, sidewalks lifted by tree roots, and back yard concrete patios where water sits by the back door. We also pour garage floors, steps and foundation slabs.

What flood zones and old bases mean for slabs

The state maps levee flood protection zones around Stockton to show the most land that could flood if a levee failed with flows at full capacity. Land inside a zone can also flood from overtopping or drainage problems, and land outside one can still be at risk. So before we set a form, I walk your lot to see where the water goes, and we pitch the slab away from the house, not toward it.

Under old Stockton driveways we often find a base that was raked smooth instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled with the dirt and cracked wherever it wanted. If the budget's tight, the subgrade, what the slab sits on, is where I'd spend first, because you can redo a finish later but not the ground under it.

I measure your Stockton job myself and stay on site with our crew when we set the forms and pour.

Stockton concrete questions

Here are straight answers to what Stockton homeowners ask us most. If yours isn't here, call (209) 280-3061 and ask me.

Does a concrete contractor in Stockton need a California license?

Yes, the state requires a contractor license once a job needs a building permit, uses any extra workers, or labor and materials on one or more contracts add up to $1,000 or more. A bigger job can't be split into smaller bills to get under that line, and we're fully licensed and insured.

Who can tell me if my Stockton property is in a flood zone?

The city's Building Division gives flood zone determinations for properties inside the City of Stockton. Whatever the answer, we plan the slope of your slab around the water we find on your lot.

Which business license should a contractor working in Stockton have?

A contractor's business license comes from where the business is located, not where the job is. San Joaquin County licenses only businesses physically located in its unincorporated area and says a business in an incorporated city should get its license from that city. That's separate from the state contractor license above.

Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Stockton?

We find out for you, because before work starts we look into what the City of Stockton asks for on your job and help you with the paperwork. The city's building work runs through its Building Division, so that's who we check with.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Stockton?

Driveway price is set mainly by its size, whether an old slab has to be broken out and hauled off, how much base the ground needs, and the finish. A plain broom finish, a light swept texture for grip, costs less than stamped work, and at the estimate I measure the job and go over your options before you decide.

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

You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because curing, the slow hardening that gives it strength, keeps going long after the top looks dry. We tell you how long to stay off your slab before we pour, and the schedule mostly turns on tear-out, base work and any paperwork needed first.

Will my new concrete patio in Stockton crack like the old one?

Concrete usually gets some cracks, so I won't promise you a slab without any, but we decide where they go. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack, and pour on the packed base described above so it doesn't settle and break like the old one.
