About our concrete contractor business in Sunnyvale
How this business started
I learned concrete from my father, working beside him on his jobs for years before I started this business in Sunnyvale in 2013. Today we're a concrete contractor based here in Sunnyvale, working in the city and the cities around it. Most of our calls come from homeowners, along with some property owners and builders who want the work done properly.
My father taught me that good concrete is mostly good preparation, and I still work that way. The parts I care about most are the ones nobody sees once the slab is down, like the packed base underneath, where the water goes and where the joints sit. That matters here, since parts of Sunnyvale are mapped as high-risk flood areas and the city sets special requirements for new construction and remodeling there. We're best known for careful flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and garage floors that lie flat on the ground, and we also build footings, slabs and foundations. You'll find all of it on our home page.

Driveways, patios and slabs
What working with us is like
The owner, from start to finish
I come out to see your job and give the free estimate myself, and I'm on site while our own crew does the work. The person who priced your job is the one who answers for it, right through the final walk-through, and we're licensed and insured.
Plain answers about cracking
Concrete can crack, and I won't tell you otherwise. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, at the right time so any crack runs along a line we chose instead of across the middle.
Choices explained, then yours to make
We walk you through finish, color and reinforcement in plain terms, such as whether a broom finish, a lightly brushed texture for grip, suits your walk, or whether rebar, steel set inside the slab to hold it together, is worth it for your driveway. When you'd like to talk through your own project, contact us and I'll come out to take a look.
How we handle a concrete job
Site visit
We come out to look at every job in person, checking the soil, the slope and where water runs before we suggest anything.
Written scope
After the visit, we write out exactly what the work includes, so you can see what you're paying for and decide in your own time.
Permits
When your job needs a permit, we handle the application and inspections with the city and keep you informed. If it's unclear, we ask the city's permit office first.
Base and drainage
We dig out soft soil and pack the base, and we slope the slab away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling.
Pour timing
We schedule pours for the cooler part of the day, because concrete that dries too fast in the heat can leave a weak, dusty top.
