Pico Rivera concrete work since 2017
Standard Pico Rivera Concrete started with side jobs for neighbors here in Pico Rivera, fixing cracked steps and pouring small walkways, and I made it a full-time concrete business in 2017. I learned the trade working next to older finishers and asking a lot of questions, and I still run jobs like the people we build for live down the street. We're licensed and fully insured, and our small crew handles 16 kinds of concrete work, from driveways and stamped patios to footings and small commercial lots. You can read more about how we work on our about page.
Why people hire our concrete crew
When you hire a concrete crew, you should know what you're paying for, who's running the job and what's going under the slab, because that's where most concrete problems start.
Talk to the owner
I come out for the estimate and I'm on site during the pour, so the person who answered your questions is the one running your job.
Itemized written estimates
Tearing out old concrete, base work and hauling each get their own line, so you can hold our bid next to others and see what's included.
Permits handled for you
If your job needs a permit, we pull it and deal with the city or county office, and if we're unsure about your address, we check first.
Base, joints and drainage
We dig out and pack the base, check where water will run and cut control joints, the grooves that give cracks a planned line to follow.

Concrete services in Pico Rivera, CA
Standard Pico Rivera Concrete handles concrete work of every size in Pico Rivera, from new driveways and patios to footings, foundations and concrete cutting, and each of the 16 services below has its own page. Most calls start with something you can see, like a cracked or sinking slab, pooling water or a yard you want to use more. The price usually turns on size, whether old concrete has to come out and be hauled away, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick, since a plain finish costs less than stamped work. The schedule turns on permits, prep and curing, the wait while new concrete gets strong enough to use. Your written estimate lays out each part.
Concrete driveway building
Tired of a cracked or sinking driveway? We tear out the old slab, dig out and pack a new base and pour a driveway made for daily parking.
Learn moreConcrete patio construction
We build concrete patios for backyards of every size, sloped so rain runs away from the house instead of pooling by your back door.
Learn moreStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern that looks like stone, brick or tile while it's still wet, a good fit for patios, walks and driveways.
Learn moreConcrete sidewalk building
We pour front walks, side paths and sidewalks for homes and businesses, with control joints cut on time so cracks follow lines we picked.
Learn moreGarage floor concrete
Is your garage floor cracked, uneven or crumbling? We replace it with a new slab poured over a packed base, ready for cars, tools and storage.
Learn moreDecorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed aggregate and custom finishes, for owners who want a patio, walk or entry to look like more than plain gray.
Learn moreConcrete retaining walls
When a slope keeps washing into your yard, a poured concrete retaining wall holds the soil back and gives you level ground you can actually use.
Learn moreConcrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for homes, additions, shops and commercial spaces, set flat and finished for whatever goes on top of them.
Learn moreConcrete pool decks
A pool deck sees bare feet and splashing water all day, so we give it a finish with some grip and slope it to drain away from the pool.
Learn moreConcrete steps construction
Cracked or crumbling front steps? We form and pour new concrete steps with even rises, so they're easier to climb for you and your visitors.
Learn moreSlab foundation building
We build slab foundations for additions, ADUs, garages and accessory buildings, starting with a packed base and rebar, the steel that helps the slab hold together.
Learn moreFoundation installation
Building something new? We lay out, dig and pour foundations for homes, additions and commercial structures, following the approved plans from the first stake to the pour.
Learn moreConcrete parking lot building
We pour concrete parking lots for small businesses and apartment buildings, planned so water drains off and the surface stands up to cars coming and going.
Learn moreConcrete footings
What holds up a wall, porch or post? Footings, the concrete base buried under it, which we dig to the depth your plans call for and pour solid.
Learn moreFoundation raising
If part of your house or slab has settled, foundation raising lifts it back toward level, which can help floors, doors and walkways sit right again.
Learn moreConcrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for new doorways, plumbing trenches, driveway widening and taking out damaged sections, leaving clean straight edges instead of broken, jagged ones.

How a concrete job goes with us
Call or send a message
Call (562) 271-1038 or fill out the contact form and tell us a little about the job, like what's there now and what you'd like instead. We get back to you within one business day to set up a time for me to come out and see it in person.
Site visit and written estimate
I come out, look at the site, measure and answer your questions, however many you have. Then I send a free written estimate that lists each part of the job, like tearout, base work and hauling. There's no obligation, so take your time and compare it with other bids.
Permits, prep and the pour
Once you say yes, we pull any permit the job needs and deal with the city or county office for you. Our own small crew digs out, packs the base and sets the forms, then we pour and finish the concrete, with me running things on site.
Walkthrough before we leave
When the work is done, we walk it with you so you can see the finish and the joints up close and ask anything that's on your mind. I'll go over how long to stay off the new concrete while it cures, then we clean up and pack up.
Concrete questions we hear often
These are the questions people ask me most before they hire us. If yours isn't here, call or send a message and I'll walk you through your own job.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Pico Rivera?
It depends mostly on the size, whether old concrete has to be torn out and hauled away, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose. I can't give a fair number until I've seen and measured your driveway. Our free written estimate breaks those parts out so you can see where the money goes.
Why are concrete estimates so different from one company to the next?
Bids usually differ because they don't cover the same work, and base preparation is where the gap often hides. A raked-level base costs less on day one and is often the first thing cut, but it's a big reason slabs settle with the dirt and crack. That's the part I won't skimp on, and our estimate lists it on its own line so you can compare.
How long will I be without my driveway or patio during a concrete job?
You'll be off it while we tear out, prep and pour, plus the curing period, the wait while concrete hardens enough to take weight. Walking on it comes back well before driving on it does. I'll tell you what to expect for your slab when I give you the estimate, so nobody parks on it too soon.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Pico Rivera?
Some concrete jobs do, and we find out for your address before we start. The city reviews accessory structures like patios, pools and porches before it issues a permit, and driveway approaches, the part that meets the street, and grading go through their own city plan check. If your job needs a permit, we pull it and deal with the city or county office for you.
Will the owner be on site during my concrete job?
Yes, I come out for the estimate myself and I run the job on site with our own small crew. That means the person who measured your yard and answered your questions is there when the concrete goes down, so you're not explaining your job to someone new on pour day.
What should I do if I see a crack in my new concrete?
Call us and tell me what you're seeing, because a fine crack running along a control joint is usually doing what that joint is there for, while a crack somewhere else is worth a closer look. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
What finish should I choose for a concrete driveway or patio?
A broom finish, the light texture swept into wet concrete so shoes and tires get grip, suits most driveways and walks, while stamped or decorative finishes cost more and suit patios and entries. Whatever you pick, the finish only lasts as long as what's under it, so we put the same care into the base and use rebar where the job calls for it.
