Posted on Mary Ann H.Verified I would highly recommend these guys. The owner, Kip, and the manager, Steve -- for any remodel, small or big. I had a full kitchen remodel that included removing existing walls and adding new supports, relocating an island and all the plumbing, installing new cabinets, and putting down wood flooring. Kip and Steve were fast, professional, and courteous while working in my home, and they treated my project with real care. I've worked with other contractors who delay jobs and have poor communication -- not these guys.Posted on Andrew B.Verified We had to get some exterior stairs removed and rebuilt due to unsafe deteriorating conditions. Steve and Kip came to our aid were very reasonably priced, professional, and produced an excellent quality, faithful replacement. They even went the extra mile to keep us updated on developments and make sure every aspect of the job was to our liking!Posted on Cindy W.Verified Steve and his team converted the yard space of my ADU into a functional parking space with concrete and also built a motorized sliding gate. The work was very well done and exceeded all my expectations. Steve designed the gate pretty much to my specifications and it's a work of art. Highly recommend!Posted on M. A.Verified Steve and his crew handled a tricky driveway skirt (with permits and inspections), created new retaining walls and did an amazing job with the demo of old concrete and new paver installation. Turned out beautiful. Steve is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend.Posted on Bill M.Verified Steve and his crew did a great job, they handled all the permits and inspections, everything was approved by the city and all compliance issues were handled. What a difference it has made and all safety issues have been solved. Steve was easy to work with and was very responsive. I would recommend him and his company..Posted on Jeremy B.Verified Steve and his crew recently paved part of our backyard with concrete. They were able to start within a few days, which was important to us, and they worked efficiently and got the job done within a couple of days. We are very pleased with how the work came out. It made our backyard a much nicer place to spend time.Posted on El S.Verified Steve and his crew did a great job with our front yard remodel. Hired them to lay concrete and build a new fence. Quality work at a fair price and work was done on time as promised.Posted on Stephen L.Verified Steve came in for an estimate and immediately spotted problematic work on a project a different builder was working on and saved me a lot of problems. He was excellent at making sure to do things right and communicating through all of the issues. I recommend calling him for an estimatePosted on Michael F.Verified Steve did a great job on extending the concrete in our patio so that we can build an outdoor kitchen. Great quality work for a fair price.Posted on Shaina F.Verified Steve and his crew Installed new hardwood flooring, cabinets, counter tops and new lighting in my kitchen. Steve was very patient and sat down & went over the different types of cabinets and all the different colors we had to choose from and what colors would look best with the granite counter tops and the flooring. His crew was very professional and they showed up for work every day ( Unlike other contractors I've had in the past) One of the cabinet doors was damaged during installation but he was quick to rectify the problem. They took a little bit longer than anticipated but that was because I had a different contractor before him that messed up a lot of stuff. They cleaned up after themselves each day.They put plastic on the floors to protect then while they worked. Thank you guys and we will keep you in mind for a future project and recommend to our friends!
What Affects Concrete Project Costs?
Project Size & Thickness
Larger driveways, slabs, or retaining walls require more materials and labor. Thickness requirements also impact structural strength and cost.
Reinforcement Needs
Steel rebar or mesh reinforcement may be required depending on load capacity and local building codes.
Site Preparation
Grading, excavation, soil condition, and base compaction can affect overall project complexity.
Removal of Existing Concrete
If demolition and debris removal are needed before installation, this will influence the total scope.
Drainage & Slope Requirements
Proper grading ensures water flows away from structures. Drainage compliance may vary by property and location.
Permit & City Requirements
Permit processes and inspections may differ across Los Angeles, Glendale, and Pasadena, affecting planning and timelines.
Navigating LA Building Permits

Your questions answered
Concrete FAQs
How long does concrete installation take?
Most residential driveway installations take approximately 3–7 days depending on size, site preparation needs, curing time, and inspection requirements.
Do you handle permits for concrete work?
How long does concrete need to cure?
Concrete typically cures enough for light use within 24–48 hours, but full strength develops over 28 days.
Can cracked concrete be repaired, or does it need replacement?
Minor cracks can often be repaired. If structural integrity is compromised or significant settlement has occurred, full replacement may be recommended. We evaluate the slab and recommend the best option for durability and code compliance.
Do you install rebar reinforcement?
Yes. Reinforcement is installed based on engineering specs, load requirements, and soil conditions.
Do you offer concrete services for commercial properties?
Absolutely. We provide concrete services for residential, multi-unit, and commercial projects throughout Los Angeles.
Can you replace damaged concrete in older Highland Park homes?
Absolutely. We frequently remove and replace aging or cracked concrete in older properties, ensuring proper reinforcement and compliance with current building codes.
