About our Camarillo concrete contractor business
How I came to pour concrete in Camarillo
Before I went out on my own in 2013, I spent years as the right hand to another concrete contractor, forming and finishing slab after slab for a boss who wanted me to know why we did each step before he'd show me how. That habit stuck. Today we're known for careful flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and floor slabs that lie flat on the ground, and for the foundations that carry a house.
Most people who call want someone to walk them through the job before anything gets poured, and I don't mind doing that every time. A question asked before the pour costs nothing, and one asked after can cost everybody. Around here most of our rain comes in winter, so I'll show you where water will run off your new slab before we set a single form. You can see everything we build on our home page, and I'd rather take extra time at the curb than leave you guessing.

What working with our crew feels like
These are the things you'll notice from the first visit to the day you walk on your new slab. They come from how I learned the trade and how I still run every job.
You talk to the person who plans it
I come out to look at your job myself, and I lead the crew that does the work. That way the answers you get at the curb are the same ones the crew follows on pour day.
An estimate you can compare
Your written estimate spells out what's included and what isn't, from the base under the slab to the finish on top. You can line it up fairly against other bids instead of guessing what each one left out.
Straight talk about cracks
Concrete shrinks as it dries, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give it a planned place to crack. We'll tell you up front what a fine line along one means, so it doesn't come as a surprise a year from now.
Permits sorted before we dig
When a job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city or county and plan the schedule around it. If you'd rather pull it yourself, I'll walk you through what they'll ask for.
Licenses and insurance behind our concrete work
California contractor license
The state licensing board licenses anyone who builds or alters structures in California, and a license applies when a job needs a building permit, uses employees, or runs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A home improvement contractor has to hold that license before giving you a bid, so it's worth asking every contractor about it before you compare prices.
Licensed and insured
Fully licensed and insured. Ask us for proof when we meet, the same as you would anyone you're letting work on your property.
