Our concrete work in Los Altos
Most Los Altos calls start with a driveway or patio that has cracked, sunk or started holding water. We pour here the same way we do in Mountain View and Palo Alto, base first.
Price moves with the slab's size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. Timing turns on any city review and on curing, the wait before you walk on it and then drive on it. I come out and write the estimate myself.

Who checks permits and inspects concrete work in Los Altos?
The city's Building Division checks plans and schedules and performs building inspections, so it's the office to ask whether your job needs a permit. If it does, we pull it and set up the inspections. The city asks you to allow up to 5 business days for its completeness check before review starts.
What hours can construction run at a house in Los Altos?
Residential construction in Los Altos can run 7 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday and 9 am to 3 pm on Saturday, and not on Sundays or city holidays. We like an early start anyway, because a pour in midday heat can leave a weak, dusty top later.
What does the Los Altos building inspector need to see on site?
The approved permit, plans and related documents, printed and at the job, because the city won't perform an inspection without them. The city emails them to the responsible party once they're approved, and we keep a printed set on site so the inspector has them.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
Concrete can crack, but the ugly cracks usually come from a base that was only raked level or joints cut late. We dig out and pack the subgrade, what the slab sits on, and cut control joints, grooves that give it a straight place to crack. If the budget's tight, skip the fancy finish before you skimp on the base.
How do I check if my older Los Altos home is on the historic inventory?
Ask the city, which posts its original historic inventory online and gives out the current list on request. If your house is on it, tell me when I come out, so we can talk it through before anything gets torn out.
