The concrete work we do in Baldwin Park
Size, tear-out, base work and finish set the price, and the wait while concrete hardens sets the schedule. Pick the closest card, and my written estimate spells out the rest.
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway, or one replacing a slab that's cracked, sinking or chipping. We dig out and pack the base first, because the slab rides on it.

Concrete patio construction
Patios sized for how you use the yard and sloped to shed water away from the house, with plain, colored or textured finishes.

Stamped concrete services
When plain gray isn't the look you want, stamped concrete presses a stone, brick or tile pattern and color into the fresh slab, on patios, walks or driveways.

Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks, side paths and the run to the back gate. We give them a broom finish, a light dragged texture, so shoes grip when it's wet.

Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes car weight, dropped tools and oil drips, so we pour it for that load and slope it gently toward the door.

Decorative concrete
Color, scored patterns and exposed stone in the surface, for concrete that should look like part of the house and not just a place to walk.

Concrete retaining walls
If a slope is creeping into your yard or you need a level spot on a hillside, a poured wall with steel rebar inside holds the soil back.

Concrete floor installation
Interior slab floors for a garage conversion, workshop, addition or commercial space, with the base, moisture barrier and finish chosen for what goes on top.

Concrete pool decks
The deck around a pool has to drain away from the water and stay grippy under bare feet, so we slope it and give the top some texture.

Concrete steps construction
Steps that rise evenly from top to bottom, so nobody catches a toe. We replace crumbling or tilting steps and pour new ones at doors and slopes.

Slab foundation building
The slab a new house, addition, ADU or garage sits on. We pour it over packed subgrade, the soil underneath, with steel and pipes set first.

Foundation installation
Foundations for new homes, additions and outbuildings, formed and poured to the plans so the inspector can check them before framing goes up.
Learn more about Foundation installation
Concrete parking lot building
Concrete lots for businesses and apartment buildings, built for delivery trucks as well as cars and sloped so rain runs to the drains instead of standing.

Concrete footings
The concrete pads and trenches that carry the weight of a wall, porch, patio cover or addition down to firm soil. Everything above depends on them.
Learn more about Concrete footings
Foundation raising
When floors slope, doors stick or a slab has settled, we find what's moved underneath and lift the foundation back toward level where the house allows.
Learn more about Foundation raising
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs, walls and driveways, for a new doorway, a plumbing trench or taking out one damaged section instead of the whole pad.

A Baldwin Park crew for driveways, patios and yards
I learned concrete on new construction, pouring slabs where nobody lived yet. In 2023 I started All Star Baldwin Park Concrete to work on homes where families already live, and we're best known for driveways, patios and the repairs a house needs after years of use.
A job starts with a call or the form. I come out myself, walk the job with you and write the estimate, and I'm the one on site running our crew when we pour. We're licensed and fully insured, and there's more on how I got here on our about page.
Plain answers, as often as you need
Concrete is hard to undo once it's poured, so I'd rather explain a pour twice than have you guess what's happening to your property. Your written estimate lists what's included and what isn't, so you can line it up against other bids without decoding anything.
Working around the family that lives there
I started out on job sites where nobody lived yet, so I notice the difference now. We plan around your house, your yard and your daily routine, and we leave everything the way we found it apart from the new work.
Signs your concrete needs attention
Cracks that keep getting wider
A hairline crack is often just concrete shrinking, but one that widens or has one side higher points to movement underneath. Check the edges, then see our driveway work.
A slab that's sinking or tilting
When a section drops or tips, the base under it usually wasn't dug out and packed, so it settled with the dirt. Walks often show it first, so look at sidewalk building.
Water pooling toward the house
If rain sits on the slab or runs toward your walls, it was likely poured with the wrong fall. Watch where it goes next time it rains, and read about patio construction.
Doors that stick, floors that slope
Sticking doors and new cracks in walls or floors can mean part of the foundation has settled. Notice whether the trouble sits on one side of the house, and read about foundation raising.
Steps that wobble or crumble
Chipped edges, loose treads or a step pulling away from the house are trip hazards that tend to get worse with use. Take a look at concrete steps.
What to think about before we come out
You don't need to pick a service before you call. Tell me what you're looking at and what bothers you about it, whether that's cracks, puddles, a sinking corner or a yard you'd like to use more, and we'll figure out the right job together.
A few details make the first visit go further. How you use the space, what has to keep working during the job and photos from a hard rain all help, and if you've collected other bids, have them handy so we can compare what each one covers.
Where the water goes
Watch the area during the next rain or while the hose runs. Water that sits on the slab or heads toward the house tells us the new pour needs a different fall.
What will sit on it
A patio for chairs and a driveway for a work truck aren't built the same. Tell us about trailers, an RV, a hot tub or heavy planters so we plan the thickness and steel to suit.
How long you can do without it
New concrete needs time to cure, the wait while it hardens and gains strength before anyone walks or drives on it. Think about where the cars will park and how you'll reach the door meanwhile.
The finish you want
Broom texture, color, stamping or exposed stone each change the look and the price. Bring a photo of something you like, even from a neighbor's house, and we'll talk about what fits.
What has to come out first
An old slab, roots, a planter or a buried pipe changes the work before we ever pour. Point out anything you know is under there, like sprinkler lines, so we can plan around it.
Hazard zones on your lot
For a foundation or retaining wall, check the state's EQ Zapp map. It shows whether a lot sits in a mapped earthquake hazard zone, such as liquefaction, where soil can briefly turn soft like quicksand.

Baldwin Park and the cities around it
In Baldwin Park, a driveway often does double duty as parking, a play area and a spot for family get-togethers, and backyards get used hard. We see plenty of older slabs that have settled or cracked after years of that kind of use.
We do the same work nearby, in cities like West Covina and El Monte, and the full list sits beside this. It's a good place to start, not the whole of it, so if your city isn't there, call (626) 412-8829 and ask.
Questions people ask about concrete work
How much does a concrete driveway or patio cost in Baldwin Park?
It depends mostly on the size, how much old concrete has to come out, the base work and the finish you pick. A broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work, and a slope or tight access adds labor. I walk the job with you and put the price in writing, with what's included and what isn't.
How long before I can use my new driveway or patio?
You wait while the concrete cures and gains strength, and you can walk on it well before you can drive on it. I'll give you the waits for your slab at the estimate, because they depend on the mix, the thickness and what the slab has to carry.
Will my new concrete crack like the old one did?
Concrete can still form small cracks, but good base work and control joints keep them from turning into the kind you have now. We cut control joints, shallow grooves in the surface, on time so shrinkage cracks form along a line we chose instead of across the middle.
Where should I save money on a concrete job?
Save on the finish, not the base. The base is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing people want to cut, but it's what keeps the slab from settling and cracking later. A plain finish can be dressed up someday. A bad base can't be fixed without starting over.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Baldwin Park?
It depends on the job, and the place to ask in Baldwin Park is the city's Building and Safety Division, which checks plans and inspects construction sites. When your job needs a permit, we find out which city or county office covers your address and take care of it as part of the job.
When does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Under the Contractors State License Board's rules, a license is needed when a project requires a building permit, uses employee labor or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A larger job can't be split up to stay under that amount, and contractors from outside Baldwin Park also need a city business license to work there.
Who will actually be on site during my concrete job?
I will. The person who walks your job and writes the estimate is the same one running our crew when we pour, so what we talked about in your driveway is what gets built.
Do you pour commercial concrete like parking lots in Baldwin Park?
Yes, we build concrete parking lots and other flatwork for businesses and apartment buildings as well as homes. We give the base, the drainage and the joints the same attention we give a driveway, just sized for trucks and more traffic.
