Our concrete work in Sunnyvale
We come up from Cupertino for Sunnyvale flatwork, the driveways, patios and walks that lie on the ground. It's the same work we do in Mountain View and Santa Clara, and the call usually starts with a slab that's cracked, sunk or holding water.
The price moves with the size, how much old concrete comes out, the base work and the finish. The schedule turns on any permit, the weather and the days the concrete needs to harden, and the on-site estimate gives you your own number.

Why Sunnyvale homeowners call us
I learned concrete on a city public works crew, and I still plan a Sunnyvale job starting from what's under it. I come out, write the estimate and stay on site while our own crew works. If the budget's tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base, because the base is what holds it up.

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Sunnyvale?
Some concrete jobs need one, and the city's One-Stop Permit Center at City Hall is where owners check what a project requires. Work that reaches the sidewalk or street is in the public right-of-way, so it needs an Encroachment Permit. If your job needs a permit, we pull it, set up the inspections and plan any street work with public works from the start.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Yes, for most jobs. The Contractors State License Board requires a license when the work needs a building permit, uses any additional workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Only a smaller job with no permit and no hired help may be exempt. Sunnyvale also requires a City business license, and we're licensed and fully insured.
Is my Sunnyvale home in a flood hazard area?
Some parts of Sunnyvale are. The city says FEMA has designated certain areas as Special Flood Hazard Areas, which are considered high risk for flooding and carry special requirements for new construction or remodeling. Mention it at the estimate if you think your lot is one of them, because it can change how we plan the job.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
Concrete can still crack, but a well-built slab usually cracks where we choose. We cut control joints, grooves that give the crack a straight, hidden place to go, and we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, so it doesn't settle with loose dirt.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, because curing, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, keeps going for days after the pour. The weather and the mix decide the wait, and we'll tell you before the pour when it's safe to walk on and when to park.
