Concrete work in Castro Valley, CA

P&J Castro Valley Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Castro Valley, CA, with 16 services, from flatwork like driveways, patios and walks to foundations, footings and retaining walls. Most calls start with cracks, a sinking or uneven slab, water pooling where it shouldn't, or a new project that has to be right the first time. Price mostly comes down to size, whether old concrete comes out, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on permit steps when a job needs them, access for the trucks, and curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength before you use it. Your free estimate spells out what's included.

  • Stamped concrete driveway with a gray rectangular pattern beside a red brick house and parked SUV.

    Concrete driveway building

    We build new concrete driveways for homes and properties, with the base dug out and packed first so the slab has firm ground under your cars.

  • Concrete pool deck surrounds a rectangular blue swimming pool, with lounge chairs, umbrellas and a large house in the background.

    Concrete patio construction

    Want a spot out back for a table and grill? We pour concrete patios sloped away from your house so rainwater runs off instead of pooling.

  • Stamped concrete patio and steps with a stone-like pattern sit beside a brick house and a bed of rounded rocks.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's fresh, so a patio, walk or pool deck can look like stone or brick.

  • Concrete sidewalk and broad steps lead to the dark double entry of a modern house.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    We build concrete sidewalks and front walks with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes some grip when the path is wet.

  • Decorative concrete driveway and patio feature curved sections of gray stone-patterned, brown wood-grain, and exposed-aggregate finishes.

    Garage floor concrete

    We pour new garage floor slabs with rebar, steel set inside the concrete to hold it together, so it carries cars, storage and a workbench.

  • Decorative stamped concrete patio with a tan-and-gray block pattern beside a white-sided house.

    Decorative concrete

    What counts as decorative concrete? It's color, exposed stone, borders and custom finishes on driveways, patios and walks, for owners who want more than plain gray.

  • Concrete patio with a smooth light-gray slab provides seating and dining space beside a white house and covered porch.

    Concrete retaining walls

    We build concrete retaining walls to hold back a slope, giving you level ground for a yard, a driveway edge or a garden bed.

  • Raised stamped-concrete patio with a circular fire pit combines gray wood-grain patterns and tiered platforms beside a blue-gray house.

    Concrete floor installation

    We pour interior concrete floors for shops, basements, additions and warehouses, finished smooth or textured to match how the space gets used.

  • Curved concrete pool deck with a blue speckled finish surrounds a screened swimming pool.

    Concrete pool decks

    Concrete pool decks give a solid surface around the water, with a textured finish for bare feet and a slope that carries splash water away.

  • A landscaped stone patio overlooks a river valley, with curved retaining walls, steps, and a circular fountain.

    Concrete steps construction

    We build concrete steps for front entries, back doors and sloped yards, with even step heights so nobody catches a toe on one taller than the rest.

  • Stamped concrete patio with an irregular gray stone pattern fills the backyard beside a brick house and wooden stairs.

    Slab foundation building

    A slab foundation is one concrete pad that a house, addition, garage or shop sits right on, and we set the base, steel and forms before the pour.

  • A broad, newly poured concrete driveway with straight expansion joints leads to a tan shingle-sided house, with autumn leaves scattered across it.

    Foundation installation

    We put in foundations for new homes, additions and commercial buildings, laid out to the plans and scheduled around any inspections the job needs.

  • Wide concrete steps lead to a front entrance between low stone retaining walls and landscaped gravel beds.

    Concrete parking lot building

    For businesses, property managers and apartment owners, we build concrete parking lots graded to drain and poured for steady car and delivery traffic.

  • A stamped concrete patio with a textured stone pattern surrounds outdoor seating and leads up to broad steps beside the house.

    Concrete footings

    Under every deck post, wall or addition sits a footing, and we dig and pour those concrete bases to the plans so the weight rests on firm ground.

  • A large curved swimming pool is bordered by a paved deck with a covered dining area, lounge chairs, and garden beds.

    Foundation raising

    Doors sticking or floors sloping because part of the foundation sank? We raise the low section back toward level and support it once we know why it dropped.

  • Curved exposed-aggregate concrete steps descend from a brick home’s porch beside flower beds and potted plants.

    Concrete cutting

    Need a doorway, a plumbing trench or a broken section taken out? We saw-cut concrete along clean lines and keep the rest of the slab intact.

The people behind Castro Valley's concrete work

P&J Castro Valley Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Castro Valley, CA, and I started it here in 2017 after learning the trade from the finishers whose crews I used to schedule. We're licensed and insured, with 16 services across the 12 cities on this site. We're best known for driveways, patios and foundation work that go the way we said they would. You can read more about us and how we work.

About us

Why hire us for your concrete job

  1. Your job runs on a real plan

    Before anyone shows up, the order of work is set and the crew and concrete deliveries are lined up, the way I ran schedules for years. Pour day follows the plan we made together instead of getting figured out on the spot.

  2. The person who prices it plans it

    I do every estimate myself and walk the site with you, so nothing you told me gets lost between the quote and the crew. The quote you sign matches the job we actually do.

  3. Straight answers, including smaller fixes

    If a repair or a different approach makes more sense than tearing everything out, I'll tell you. You get a plan that fits what you need instead of the biggest job I could sell.

  4. Permits and inspections handled for you

    We check with the county or city office early, and when your job needs a permit we file the application and set up the inspections. You don't have to learn the paperwork to get the work done.

Concrete work up close

From your first call to finished concrete

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (510) 264-7164 or send the form with a few lines about the job, like a cracked driveway, a new patio or a foundation. We get back to you within one business day to set up a time for me to come out and see it.

  2. Walk the site and get an estimate

    I come out, look at the ground, the drainage and the access, and ask how you'll use the concrete. Then you get a free estimate that spells out what's included, so you know exactly what you're comparing. There's no pressure to book.

  3. Schedule the work and pour

    Once you say yes, I put the job on the schedule and line up the crew and the concrete deliveries. When the job needs a permit, we handle the application and set up the inspections. Our crew lead runs the work on site with our own crew.

  4. Cleanup and curing

    Our crew lead sees the job through cleanup, so you're left with finished concrete and a clear site. Before the crew leaves, you'll hear when the slab is ready for foot traffic and when it can take a car, since curing has to run its course first.

Common concrete questions in Castro Valley

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Castro Valley?

It depends on the size, whether the old driveway has to come out and how much base work the ground needs, so I price each one on site. Thickness, rebar and the finish you pick move it too, and the free estimate spells out what's included.

Is stamped concrete more expensive than a plain broom finish?

Usually, yes, because stamping adds color, pattern work and a sealer, and it takes more hands on the slab while it's still workable. If the budget is tight, I'd keep the money in the base and go simpler on the finish, because nobody sees the base on day one but you can't fix it later without tearing the slab out.

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

You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because curing takes longer than the pour itself. I'll tell you what to expect for your slab at the estimate, since the mix, the thickness and the conditions on pour day all change it.

Is P&J Castro Valley Concrete Company licensed and insured?

Yes, we're licensed and insured. In California, contractors are licensed by the Contractors State License Board, and Alameda County also requires a business license for any business working in its unincorporated areas, Castro Valley included, even when the business is based somewhere else.

What should a concrete contractor do before pouring a new slab?

Dig out and pack the base and check where the water will run, because that's where most slabs go wrong. A base that's only raked level settles with the dirt, and a slab that falls toward the house sends water at your walls. We also avoid pouring in midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top.

Do you guarantee your concrete work?

Yes, satisfaction guaranteed. Before the crew starts, the estimate spells out what's included, so we both know what the finished job should look like.

Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?

It can still crack, because concrete shrinks as it cures, but a packed base and control joints usually keep cracks small and along lines we chose. Control joints are grooves cut into the slab so it cracks there in a straight line instead of across the middle, and we cut them on time because late or skipped joints are why so many old slabs crack at random. Rebar helps hold the pieces together.

Who issues building permits for concrete work in Castro Valley?

Alameda County does, because Castro Valley is an unincorporated community with no city government of its own. You can apply, schedule inspections and check a permit's status through the county's permit portal, and the county has a separate encroachment permit for work in county roads, sidewalks and public rights-of-way. When your job needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections.
