Our concrete work in Milpitas. Pick the job you have.
Concrete driveway building
New driveways poured on a dug-out, packed base, worth it when your old one has sunk, cracked across or holds pooling water.
Concrete patio construction
If you want a backyard patio that doesn't puddle, we pour it sloped so rain runs away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick. It still needs the same base underneath.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways and front paths replaced when slabs have lifted or tipped enough to catch a toe, poured with joints that guide cracks.
Garage floor concrete
Cracked, dusty or uneven garage floors broken out and repoured on a packed base so the new floor sits on solid ground.
Decorative concrete
Colored, exposed-aggregate or scored finishes for when plain gray won't suit the house, chosen with wet-day grip in mind.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down or soil is pushing against a fence, a wall with drainage behind it holds the ground back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slab floors for additions, workshops and small commercial spaces, set at the right height with the base packed before the pour.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck has to shed splash water away from the pool and house and give bare feet some grip.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps rebuilt when the old ones have settled, chipped at the edges or pulled away from the porch.
Slab foundation building
Slab foundations for additions, garages and small buildings, with the ground prepared and checked so the slab carries the load evenly.
Foundation installation
If you're building an addition or a new structure, we dig and pour the foundation it stands on, working to the plans.
Concrete parking lot building
Small commercial lots poured thick enough for the traffic they get, with the slope worked out so water reaches the drains.
Concrete footings
Footings for walls, posts and additions, dug as deep as the job calls for so the load rests on firm ground.
Foundation raising
When part of a house has sunk and doors stick or floors slope, we look at why before raising and supporting it.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut door openings, pipe trenches and damaged sections of slab, so only the bad part gets replaced.
How we run a job in Milpitas. Permit and license first.
In Milpitas, building permits come from the city's Office of Building Safety and have to be issued before any work starts, so when your job needs one, the permit sets our start date, not our calendar. Ask any contractor for their state license too, and whether they hold a Milpitas business license.
We handle the permit paperwork with the city and set up inspections, and when it's unclear whether you need one, we ask before scheduling anything. Price moves with the slab's size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base the ground needs and the finish, and I come out myself to write your estimate.

(650) 447-1063Good concrete in Milpitas starts underneath. Here's why.
A slab poured on ground that was only raked level, not dug out and packed, settles with the dirt and cracks. One that falls toward the house sends water at your foundation, and one whose control joints, the cuts that tell concrete where to crack, were cut late or skipped cracks wherever it likes.
If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish before the base, because the base can't be fixed later without tearing the slab out. We dig out and pack it, slope the slab away from the house and plan the joints before the truck shows up. I'd rather spend an extra hour on a tricky lot than pour and hope.
We pour in other cities too. Yours may be listed.
We're based in Mountain View and also work in Sunnyvale, Cupertino and many other cities nearby, so call (650) 447-1063 if yours isn't listed below.
Concrete questions in Milpitas. Here are straight answers.
Read the answers below on permits, licenses and flood zones, and give us a call if your question isn't one of them.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Milpitas?
It may, and the city's list doesn't settle it for driveways and patios, so we check with the city before we schedule anything. The city's permit answers exempt finish work, fences and retaining walls no more than 4 feet from footing bottom to wall top, unless the wall holds back an added load such as a driveway.
Can I get the building permit myself in Milpitas, or does my contractor?
Yes, the city lets a property owner pull permits for any work on the property. A licensed contractor can also get them as your authorized agent for the work their license covers, which is how we handle it, so the inspections line up with the pour.
Does a concrete contractor need a state license in California?
Yes, the Contractors State License Board says any construction work worth $1,000 or more in labor, materials or both has to be done by a state-licensed contractor, and splitting a job up to stay under that is illegal. If the work needs a permit or workers, a license is required at any price. We're fully licensed and insured.
What changes if my Milpitas home is in a flood zone?
Building work inside the mapped flood hazard area falls under federal and city floodplain rules, and about a quarter of Milpitas sits in that area, so your own lot is worth checking. The city tells owners to check with its Land Development Engineering Division before building, re-grading or placing fill, so we do that before we change any grade.
