Concrete contractor services in Vacaville, CA

Custom Vacaville Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Vacaville, CA, and we handle 16 kinds of work, from new driveways and patios to footings, foundations and concrete cutting. Most calls start with a slab that's cracked, sinking or uneven, or water pooling where it shouldn't. The price mostly comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how much digging the ground needs and the finish you pick, since stamped or colored concrete takes more labor than a plain broom finish, the brushed texture that gives your shoes grip. The schedule turns on what the city wants, the weather and the days the concrete needs to cure before you can use it. Your free written estimate spells out what's included.

  • Wide reddish-brown stamped concrete driveway leading to a large house, bordered by lawns, stone walls and a waterfall.

    Concrete driveway building

    We build concrete driveways on a dug-out, packed base and cut control joints, the grooves that give cracks a straight place to go instead of across the middle.

  • Stone patio with a circular fire pit, dark chairs and a curved stone wall with several water spouts.

    Concrete patio construction

    Where does rain go off a new patio? We slope concrete patios away from the house so water runs into the yard, not toward your foundation.

  • Gray stamped-concrete walkway forms a circle around a grass bed, with paths extending toward the house and across the lawn.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is colored and pressed with a pattern so a patio, walk or pool deck looks like stone, brick or tile but pours as one slab.

  • Small concrete patio with large square slabs, dining furniture, white lounge chairs and flower planters.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    Heaved or broken sections along the walk are a trip hazard. We tear them out and pour new sidewalks and front walks that sit flat and drain.

  • Tan stamped concrete patio beneath a covered outdoor kitchen with a stone counter and built-in grill.

    Garage floor concrete

    We pour new garage floors and replace cracked, sunken ones, setting rebar, the steel bars that hold the slab together, so it carries cars and heavy shelving.

  • Raised patio of reddish-brown stamped concrete with an irregular stone pattern beside a brick house.

    Decorative concrete

    Decorative concrete covers colored slabs, exposed-stone finishes and custom borders for homeowners who want a driveway or patio that looks finished, not just gray.

  • Stamped concrete patio beside a lake, with stone retaining walls and black metal dining chairs.

    Concrete retaining walls

    When a sloped yard keeps washing out, a concrete retaining wall holds it back. We set ours on footings with drainage behind so water doesn't build up against them.

  • Curved reddish-brown stamped concrete patio with a brick-like pattern beside a house and lawn.

    Concrete floor installation

    Need a floor for a shop, barn or shed? We pour interior concrete floors on a packed base, troweled smooth or left textured for how you'll use it.

  • Gray concrete pool deck with broad steps borders a blue swimming pool in a screened-in patio.

    Concrete pool decks

    We pour concrete pool decks with a textured finish that stays grippy when wet and a slope that drains splash water away from the pool and the house.

  • Three broad concrete steps lead to a raised landing beside a house, above a smooth slab patio.

    Concrete steps construction

    We form and pour concrete steps for front doors, porches and patios, with every step the same height so nobody catches a toe.

  • Stone walkway and broad steps lead to the entrance of a large brick house, bordered by landscaped gardens.

    Slab foundation building

    A slab foundation is the poured base an addition, garage or house sits on. We pack the subgrade, the soil beneath, and pour it ready for framing.

  • Wet gray stamped concrete patio with a wooden picnic table and potted plants.

    Foundation installation

    We install foundations for new homes and additions for builders and homeowners, digging, forming, setting steel and pouring to the plans the city approved.

  • Raised concrete porch edge beside black railings, with flower beds and decorative stones.

    Concrete parking lot building

    Property owners call us for concrete parking lots and pads that carry delivery trucks, with a thicker slab, steel and drainage laid out before anything is poured.

  • Aerial view of a large industrial warehouse complex with broad pale concrete roofs, loading bays, and mostly empty parking lots.

    Concrete footings

    Footings are the concrete under a wall, post or deck that spreads its weight into firm ground. We dig them to the depth your plans call for.

  • Rectangular swimming pool surrounded by a light stone-pattern concrete deck, lounge chairs, and landscaped grounds.

    Foundation raising

    Is a slab or floor sinking on one side? Foundation raising lifts settled concrete back up, which can save tearing it out when the slab is sound.

  • Curved swimming pool with a pale concrete deck inside a black-framed screened enclosure.

    Concrete cutting

    We saw-cut concrete for plumbing trenches, wider driveways and clean edges where old concrete meets new, so you don't end up with a jagged, broken line.

Why homeowners hire our concrete crew

Most concrete looks fine the day it's poured. The difference shows up a few years later, and it comes from the ground work, the joints and who's answering for the job.

  • The owner on every job

    I come out to look at your site myself, and I'm running the crew while we dig, form, pour and finish. The person who wrote your estimate is the one you call if something isn't right, from the first visit to the final walk-through.

  • Time spent under the slab

    The base is buried on pour day, so it's the first thing a low bid cuts. We dig out soft soil and pack the ground instead of raking it level, because a slab on loose dirt settles with it. If money's tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base.

  • Straight talk about cracks

    Concrete cracks, and anyone who says yours won't is selling something. We plan the control joints before the pour, cut them on time and keep pours out of the midday heat, so cracks usually land in those lines and the top doesn't turn dusty.

  • We handle the city side

    We find out what the city or the county wants for the work at your address. When a permit's needed, we pull it, keep the papers on site and meet the inspector. To get started, call (707) 898-1384 or use our contact page.

Our process, from your call to the walk-through

Here's what happens after you reach out, so you know who you'll talk to, what the estimate covers and what we do before anything gets poured.

  1. Step 01

    Call or send a request

    Call (707) 898-1384 or send a request through our contact page with what you want poured and your address. We get back to you within one business day to ask a few questions and set a time for me to come out and see the site.

  2. Step 02

    Site visit and written estimate

    I come out myself and walk the site with you. I look at the old concrete, the soil and where the water runs, and ask what the slab has to carry, since an RV needs more than patio chairs. You get a free written estimate that spells out what's included, with no obligation.

  3. Step 03

    Prep, pour and finish

    If you go ahead, we sort out what the city wants first. Then my crew digs out and packs the base, sets the forms, plans the joints, pours and finishes the concrete. Curing is the wait while it hardens, and keeping traffic off it then is what keeps the top strong.

  4. Step 04

    Final walk-through

    Once the concrete has set and the forms are off, I walk the finished job with you. We go over how it drains, where the joints are and the days you can walk and drive on it, and you tell me if anything isn't right.

About Custom Vacaville Concrete Company

  • Flatwork is most of what we do

    Flatwork is any slab that lies flat on the ground, like driveways, patios and walks. It's what we're best known for, along with footings and foundation work, and it's where getting the ground right matters most.

  • Learned from the shovel up

    I spent every summer through school on concrete crews, digging, compacting and forming long before I ever finished a slab. That shovel work most people never see is still the first thing I look at on every job.

  • Homeowners, property owners and builders

    Most of our calls come from homeowners, and we also pour for property owners and builders who need concrete they can count on. My crew does the digging, forming, pouring and finishing with me running the work.

A word from the owner

I started Custom Vacaville Concrete Company in Vacaville in 2013, and we've been pouring driveways, patios, footings and foundations ever since. We're fully licensed and insured, we do 16 kinds of concrete work and we serve 12 cities with their own pages on this site. I'd rather tell you up front that concrete cracks and show you how we control it than make a promise nobody can keep. You can read more about how we work.

Concrete questions Vacaville homeowners ask

Do you charge for a concrete estimate in Vacaville?

No, our estimates are free, done at your property and come with no obligation. I walk the site with you, then you get a written estimate that spells out what's included, so you can compare it line by line with any other bid.

How can I keep the cost of a new concrete driveway or patio down?

Keeping the shape simple and choosing a broom finish over stamped or colored concrete usually saves the most, because those finishes take more labor. What I won't trim is the base, for the reason above, because a cheap base costs you the whole slab later.

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

It's longer than the pour itself, because the concrete has to cure before it can take a car's weight, and I'll give you the walk-on and drive-on days before we start. Driving on it early is one of the most common ways a new slab gets damaged.

Does a concrete contractor in California need a license?

Yes, for nearly any driveway or patio job, because California's contractors board requires a license when the work needs a building permit, uses any extra workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. We're fully licensed and insured, so ask to see it at the estimate.

Do I need to be home when you pour my concrete?

No, you don't need to be home on pour day, as long as cars are moved and we can get to the site. We'll ask you to keep kids, pets and sprinklers off the fresh concrete until it's ready, and I'd like you there for the final walk-through.

Do you guarantee your concrete work?

Our work is satisfaction guaranteed. What I won't do is promise concrete that never cracks, because nobody can keep that promise. What I can do is build the base and joints so cracks are less likely and usually show up in the joints when they do.

Do I need rebar in my concrete driveway?

For a driveway, I usually recommend it, because the steel holds the pieces together if the slab cracks so they don't spread apart or shift. It doesn't stop cracking, which is the joints' job, and for a patio that only sees foot traffic I'll tell you at the estimate whether I'd add it.

Who issues building permits for concrete work in Vacaville?

The City of Vacaville's Building Division handles building permits inside city limits, and it reviews and inspects new construction and improvements to existing structures. Work in the public right-of-way, like where a driveway meets the street, can fall under the city's separate encroachment permit, and we check what your address needs before we pour.
