Concrete work we do in Cupertino

From a walkway to a parking lot, every job starts with me on site. Size, base, steel and finish set the price, permits and curing set the schedule, and your estimate gives your number.

  • Concrete driveway building

    A new driveway, or a cracked, sinking one torn out and repoured, set on a base we dig out and pack so it has something solid underneath.

    New concrete driveway with geometric joints and a dark border in front of a house.

  • Concrete patio construction

    For a backyard you actually use. We slope the patio away from the house so water runs off instead of pooling against your foundation.

  • Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and color while it's still wet, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick without the loose pavers.

    Brown stamped concrete patio with a curved retaining wall and flower beds beside a house.

  • Concrete sidewalk building

    Front walks, side paths and the stretch of public sidewalk out front. Work at the street gets planned with the city's public works office before we dig.

  • Garage floor concrete

    A cracked or uneven garage floor broken out and repoured, with rebar, the steel grid inside, to hold the slab together under a parked car.

    A clean garage has a light speckled concrete floor, brown storage cabinets, wall-mounted tools, and a bicycle.

  • Decorative concrete

    Color, exposed stone, scored patterns and sealed surfaces, for when plain gray doesn't suit the house. Every finish still sits on the same packed base.

  • Concrete retaining walls

    When a slope keeps creeping into the yard, a poured concrete wall holds it back, with drainage behind it so water doesn't build up against it.

    Spacious paved patio with light stone-patterned concrete, seating, and a covered outdoor area beside a house.

  • Concrete floor installation

    Interior slabs for shops, additions and commercial spaces, poured flat and level so flooring goes down cleanly or the concrete can serve as the finished floor.

  • Concrete pool decks

    The deck around a pool takes bare feet, splashing and chlorine. We give it a textured finish for grip and slope it to drain away from the water.

    Curved pool deck paved with light-colored blocks beneath a screened enclosure, overlooking a lake.

  • Concrete steps construction

    Front steps and short runs between levels, formed so every rise is the same height. Uneven steps are how people trip, so we measure twice.

    Raised stamped-concrete patio beside a house, patterned to resemble brown wood planks.

  • Slab foundation building

    A slab foundation is the concrete base a house, addition or garage sits on. It starts with the subgrade, the ground under the slab, dug and packed firm.

    A dark gray stamped concrete driveway spans the front of a blue-and-white house with two garage doors.

  • Foundation installation

    New foundations for additions, garages and small buildings, built to the approved plans and checked by the city inspector before any framing starts.

    Light gray concrete pool deck surrounds a bright blue swimming pool beneath a covered patio, with palms and a closed umbrella nearby.

  • Concrete parking lot building

    Parking lots and driveways for small commercial and rental properties, built thicker where trucks and daily traffic will run, with drainage planned before the pour.

    Curved gray stamped concrete walkway and raised patio surround a small circular gravel-filled opening in a lawn.

  • Concrete footings

    Footings are the concrete under posts, walls and additions that spreads the load into the ground. Builders who'd rather not pour their own call us for these.

    Raised charcoal stamped concrete patio with a round fire pit sits beside a house, with a broad curved platform in front.

  • Foundation raising

    If a slab or foundation has sunk and doors stick, we find out why it moved before we lift it. Lifting without fixing the cause just buys time.

    Stamped concrete walkway leads through dark mulch and garden beds to a brick home's porch with red chairs.

  • Concrete cutting

    Saw-cutting slabs for new doorways, plumbing trenches or removal, and cutting control joints, the planned grooves that tell a slab where to crack.

Concrete finishes to choose from

The right finish depends on how the space gets used, so I talk it through with you when I come out to measure.

  • Driveways & walks

    Plain broom finish

    A broom finish is a light texture dragged across wet concrete for grip in the rain. It suits driveways and walks where traction matters more than looks.

  • Patios & entries

    Stamped or colored concrete

    Suits a patio or front entry where people will notice the surface. It takes more work to finish, and it only pays off over a sound base.

  • Pool decks & paths

    Exposed aggregate

    The top layer is washed off to show the small stones in the mix, giving a pebbly grip that hides dirt well around pools and paths.

Swimming pool bordered by a pale concrete deck, with a timber pavilion and outdoor kitchen beyond.

Who's behind Premium Cupertino Concrete

I learned concrete on a city public works crew, pouring sidewalks and curbs for years. We're known for flatwork, the slabs you walk and drive on, that drains right and stays put, and I'd rather tell you no than pour something I don't believe in.

Why homeowners call us

You'll deal with me from the first look to the final walk-through, and there's more about us if you want it.

  • Same person, estimate to pour

    The person who looks at your job is the person standing on it during the pour, so nothing you asked for gets lost in a handoff.

  • Estimates you can compare

    We write out the base, the steel and the finish in plain terms, so you can hold our estimate next to anyone else's.

  • Nothing down the storm drain

    We keep washout and saw slurry out of the gutter and the storm drain, and we clean up like the neighbors are watching.

Questions before you hire a concrete contractor

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Cupertino?

It depends on the size, the old concrete coming out, the base and steel it needs and the finish you choose, so I give you a number after I've measured. Base work is the first thing people want to cut, and I'd trim the finish first, because nobody notices a good base but everybody notices a bad one.

How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

You can usually walk on new concrete within a few days, and driving on it waits longer, so plan on parking on the street for a stretch. That wait is curing, the time concrete needs to harden before it takes weight, and rushing it is how edges chip. I'll give you the date for your job.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?

It may get hairline cracks, because all concrete shrinks as it dries, but it shouldn't sink and split the way a slab on a poor base does. We dig out and pack the base and cut the control joints on time, so most small cracks land in the grooves.

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Cupertino?

It depends on the job, so it's worth checking before anyone pours. Cupertino's Building Division requires a permit for construction outside its exempt list, and work caught without one stops until it's permitted, at double the fees. If your job needs one, we pull it and set up the inspections.

Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?

Yes, in most cases. The California Contractors State License Board requires a license when the work needs a building permit, uses any hired workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Cupertino also requires a city business license, and won't schedule a final inspection until the contractor and every sub has one.
