About our Union City concrete company
How I got into concrete
I started working summers on concrete crews while I was still in school, and by the time I graduated I knew forms, finishing and cleanup better than I knew most of my classes. I spent years after that learning from the finishers who trained me, and in 2021 I opened our business here in Union City. Most people who call us are planning a driveway, a patio or a slab, and I'm thankful to everyone who takes the time to walk me through their project.
What I care about most is the part of the job nobody sees once it's poured. That means the subgrade, the packed ground your slab sits on, plus where the water runs and where the joints fall. The city's design notes mark broad soil hazard areas in parts of Union City. They don't say anything about one particular yard, but they're one more reason I look hard at the ground first. If a budget gets tight, the base is the last thing I'd cut, because a nice surface over loose dirt settles and cracks along with it. You can see the rest of what we do on our home page.
What you can expect when you work with us
You deal with me from the estimate to the finish
I come out myself to look at your job and write the estimate, so the person who measured your driveway is the one answering your questions. Our crew of finishers and laborers does the work, and I check in on site while it's underway.
An estimate you can compare line by line
Your written estimate lists what's included, like removing the old concrete, the rebar, which is the steel set inside the slab to help hold it together, and the joints. That way you can set our quote next to another one and see whether you're comparing the same job.
Drainage, slope and joints planned before the pour
Before any concrete shows up, we work out where the water will go, how the slab should slope away from your house and where to cut control joints, the grooves that give concrete a planned place to crack. When your job needs a permit, we take care of the application and inspections with your city or county office and keep you informed along the way.
Licenses and insurance
California contractor license
The state licensing board licenses anyone who builds or alters a structure in California, and a license is required when a job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or adds up to $1,000 or more in labor and materials. That covers nearly every driveway, patio or slab we pour, and we're licensed and fully insured.
Union City business license
The city requires a business license for every business and trade working within city limits, and its list names contractors, including ones based out of town. It's a fair question to ask any contractor you're comparing.
