Concrete Contractor in Alamo

What Alamo homeowners should know

Pool decks for large backyards

Exposed-aggregate concrete gives pool decks a pebble texture with good grip for bare feet. We slope the deck so water runs away from the pool and the house, and plan joints so they line up with the pool shape.

Stamped patios for entertaining

Stamped and colored concrete gives the look of stone or slate across a large patio at a lower cost than natural stone, which suits the big entertaining areas common in Alamo.

Walls need a county permit

Contra Costa County treats concrete and masonry walls as walls, not fences, and requires a building permit for them. Retaining walls up to 3 feet with no surcharge are exempt. We flag this early if your design includes seat walls or retaining walls.

Our concrete process

  1. 1

    Demo and grading

    We remove old concrete, set grades so water drains away from the house and compact the base.

  2. 2

    Forms and reinforcement

    Forms are set to final height and reinforcement is placed to suit the slab and its use.

  3. 3

    Pour and finish

    Concrete is placed and finished in broom, stamped or exposed-aggregate texture.

  4. 4

    Joints and curing

    Control joints are cut or tooled and the slab is cured before traffic.

  5. 5

    Clean-up

    Forms are pulled, edges are backfilled and the site is cleaned.
