Concrete contractor services in Union City, CA
Professional Union City Concrete handles concrete work in Union City across 16 services, from new driveways and patios to footings, foundations and raising a house that has settled. The price mostly follows the size of the job, any old concrete that has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on permits, ground prep and curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before it takes weight. Your free written estimate shows what's included for your job.
Concrete driveway building
We tear out the old driveway if there is one, dig out and pack the base, then pour a new driveway sloped to carry water away from your house.
Concrete patio construction
A concrete patio gives you a flat, solid spot for a table and grill, and we slope it so rain runs away from your house, not toward it.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, so your patio, walk or driveway can take on the look of stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build new sidewalks and front walks, set level and sloped to drain, so the path from the street to your door stays easy to walk.
Garage floor concrete
We pour garage floors reinforced for the weight of cars, with a smooth finish that sweeps clean and joints placed where we want any cracking to go.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete adds color, texture or a custom border to patios, walks and pool areas for owners who want the slab to suit the look of the house.
Concrete retaining walls
We build reinforced concrete retaining walls that hold back soil on a sloped yard or lot, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push on the wall.
Concrete floor installation
We install concrete floors for shops, additions, warehouses and other interiors, placed level and finished smooth or textured to suit how the space gets used.
Concrete pool decks
Our pool decks get a textured finish for grip and a slope that carries splash water to the drains, so the area around your pool stays comfortable underfoot.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour concrete steps for front entries, porches and changes in grade around the yard, with even rises and reinforcement so they stay solid.
Slab foundation building
We build slab foundations for homes, additions, garages and accessory buildings, starting with a dug-out, packed base and steel reinforcement set before the pour.
Foundation installation
We install new foundations for houses, additions and commercial buildings, setting forms and reinforcement to the approved plans before the pour and any inspection.
Concrete parking lot building
Property managers and business owners call us for concrete parking lots built for steady traffic, sloped to drain and laid out with joints that guide cracking.
Concrete footings
We dig and pour concrete footings, the wide base under walls, posts and decks, so the weight above them spreads into firm ground.
Foundation raising
If part of your house has sunk and doors stick or floors slope, we raise the foundation back toward level and check the ground underneath.
Concrete cutting
When you need an opening for a door, a trench for plumbing or a damaged section taken out, we cut the concrete cleanly and leave the rest in place.

How a concrete job works with us
Call or send the form
Call us at (510) 319-6825 or use the form, and we'll reply within one business day. We set a time for me to come out to your property, and you're welcome to tell us a little about the driveway, patio or slab on your mind before I get there.
I visit and write your estimate
I look at the site with you, check the ground and where the water runs, and listen to what you have in mind. Then I write up a free estimate that lists what's included and what isn't, and we talk through the choices before you decide anything, with no pressure to book.
We prepare and pour
Once you're ready, we take care of any permit steps first. Our crew then digs out and packs the base, sets the forms and reinforcement, and pours and finishes the concrete, while I check in on site to make sure the work matches what we planned together.
We walk the finished job
When the work is done, I walk the job with you so you can see what was built and ask anything you like. I explain how to care for the new concrete while it cures and afterward, so you know what to watch for and how to keep it in good shape.
Your concrete questions answered
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Union City, CA?
The cost depends on your site, so I give you a figure in a free written estimate after I've seen it. Size, removing old concrete, base work, thickness and reinforcement, how close the truck can get and a stamped or colored finish all move the price.
Where can I save money on a concrete patio without causing problems later?
Save on the finish, not the base. A plain broom finish, the light texture dragged across the top for grip, costs less than stamping or color, but a base that's only raked level instead of dug out and packed lets the slab settle with the dirt. Once it's poured, a weak base can't be fixed without tearing the slab out, which is why I'd always spend the money underneath first.
How long will I be without my driveway after new concrete is poured?
You're off it while we remove the old slab and prepare the base, then through the pour and the curing time, and you can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it. The mix and conditions change the wait, so at the walkthrough I tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for your car.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in Union City, CA?
Usually, yes. The state's Contractors State License Board requires a license when the job needs a building permit, uses additional workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and the city requires a business license from contractors working within city limits, including ones based elsewhere. We're licensed and fully insured.
Who handles the permit for a concrete job in Union City?
We do, when your job needs one, and in Union City that work goes through the city's Building Division counter. The counter handles over-the-counter permits and plan submittals, so it's also the office to ask if you're not sure whether your project needs a permit.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Our promise is "Your satisfaction, guaranteed," and I stay involved from the estimate to the final walkthrough to back it up. I'd rather catch a problem in planning, like a slab that would drain toward your house, than leave you with a surprise later.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
Concrete can crack, but the planning decides where and how much. We pack the base so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt, add rebar, steel bars that help hold the slab together, where the job calls for it, and cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a planned place to form, on time. We also avoid pouring in midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top.
Does the soil in Union City affect concrete work?
It can, depending on where your house sits. The city's building division lists soils hazard zones east of Mission Boulevard and west of Union City Boulevard, but those are general areas and say nothing about any one property, so I look at your own ground before we plan the base.
