From one sidewalk panel to every slab on the lot, we handle concrete for San Jose homes. We look at drainage, trees and soil across the whole property at the estimate.
Homeowners call us for one slab or for a whole property. Around a typical San Jose house that can mean the driveway, the city sidewalk and approach, the front walk and porch steps, side-yard paths, a rear patio, a pad for bins or an RV, a shed slab and the footing for a wall or an ADU. Doing related pieces together saves on mobilization and gives a matching finish.
Older tract homes share the same problems. The original concrete was poured thin on bare clay. Sprinklers have soaked one edge for decades. A street tree has lifted the walk. The driveway is too narrow for two modern cars. We look at the whole lot at the estimate, including where the downspouts discharge and which way the yard drains, because fixing the water often matters more than the concrete.
Every job starts with a free on-site estimate and a written quote that lists sizes, thickness, base, reinforcement, finish and tear-out. We tell you which parts need a city permit, such as sidewalk and approach work or a widened driveway, and what the front yard paving rule allows. Most residential pours take one or two days of preparation and one day to pour, and new concrete needs about a week before vehicles.
Residential concrete in San Jose: common questions
Can you do the driveway and the patio at the same time?
Yes, and it usually makes sense. One mobilization, one concrete order and one finish across both. We stage it so you can still get in and out of the house.
My house was built in the 1960s. Should I replace all the concrete?
Not necessarily. We replace what has failed and leave what is sound. Flat, tight slabs with only hairline cracks can stay. Broken, tilted or root-lifted sections are the ones worth replacing.
Do you handle the permits?
We tell you which permits apply and work with the City of San Jose offices that issue them. Sidewalk, curb and approach work goes through the Department of Transportation, and a widened driveway through Public Works.
