Concrete contractor in Baldwin Park, CA - driveways and patios on a solid base
All Star Baldwin Park Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Baldwin Park, CA. We pour new driveways, patios, walkways and slabs, and fix the cracked, sunken concrete around homes that have seen years of use.
Our concrete work here in Baldwin Park
I started All Star Baldwin Park Concrete in 2023, after a few years pouring slabs and flatwork, the driveways, walks and floors that lie flat on the ground, on new construction where nobody lived yet. Now we work on homes where families already live, in Baldwin Park and the cities around it, like West Covina, El Monte and Covina.
Price comes down to the slab's size, whether old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off, how much the ground needs dug and packed, and the finish. The schedule depends on the same tear-out and base work, the days new concrete needs to harden and any permit your job needs. Your estimate puts your number in writing, with what's included and what isn't.

Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has cracked, sunk at the edges or started holding water, we break it out, dig and pack a new base, and pour a fresh slab.

A new slab out back for a table, a grill or a shade cover, set with a slight fall so rain runs away from the house.

If you want the look of stone, brick or tile without laying pieces, we press a pattern and color into the concrete while it's still soft.

Walkways from the driveway to the door or along the side of the house, replaced where roots or settling have lifted a section into a trip edge.

Worth a look when a garage slab is cracked, stained through or uneven enough that water collects. We can replace it or pour one for a new garage.

Color, scored lines and a washed finish that shows the stone in the mix, for when plain gray isn't what you want on a patio or entry.

Where a yard steps down or a slope keeps pushing soil onto a walk or patio, a poured wall with steel inside holds the ground back.

Interior slabs for a room addition, a workshop or a storage building, poured flat and smooth so flooring or equipment can go right on top.

The concrete around a pool takes splashing and bare feet, so we give it a slip-resistant finish and slope it so water runs off instead of sitting.

If front or back steps have cracked, pulled away from the house or rise at uneven heights, we form and pour new ones that sit solid.

A slab foundation pours the floor and its thickened edges together, for an addition, a garage or a new building where the plans call for a slab.

When you're building on, we dig, form and pour the foundation the structure sits on, following the engineer's plans for depth and steel.

For a business or an apartment building that needs room for cars, we pour thicker slabs with steel inside, laid out so water drains off.

Footings are the buried concrete under posts, walls and patio covers. If a cover sags or a block wall leans, the footing underneath is often why.

If floors slope, doors stick or a slab has dropped on one side, we check whether lifting and supporting the foundation will bring it back level.

Clean saw cuts through a slab or wall, for a new doorway, a plumbing trench or taking out just the cracked section instead of the whole driveway.

When old concrete needs more than a patch
A thin crack on a slab that's still flat can usually be cleaned and sealed. When a section has dropped, tilted or started rocking under your foot, the ground under it has moved, and a patch on top won't hold. Sometimes we can saw out just that piece with concrete cutting and pour it new.
If the cracks run all over, water pools against the house or the whole slab has sunk, it's usually time to break it out and pour a new driveway or patio on a properly packed base. Where floors inside are sloping too, I'll look at foundation raising before we talk about the slab outside.
The concrete jobs we see around Baldwin Park
Most of my calls come from homeowners with driveways and patios that have worked hard for years and now crack, sink or hold water. They usually ask about cost, how long they'll be without the driveway, and whether the new slab will crack too, and I'd rather answer those twice than leave you guessing.
If the budget is tight, I'll tell you where I'd spend it, on the subgrade, the dug-out and packed ground the slab sits on. Nobody sees it once we pour, so it's the first thing people want to cut, but a nice finish on loose dirt settles and cracks just like the old slab did.
On foundations, retaining walls and slabs for additions, the ground matters even more. You can look up your address on the state's EQ Zapp map, which shows whether a property sits in a mapped earthquake hazard zone, including liquefaction, where soil can briefly turn to quicksand, or whether the state hasn't checked the area yet.
Before your estimate in Baldwin Park
Watch where the water goes
Next time it rains or you run the hose, notice where water sits on the old slab and which way it runs. That tells me a lot about the base and the slope, and it's one of the first things I'll ask about.
Think about what it carries
Picture what will sit or drive on the new concrete, from patio chairs to a work truck or a trailer. Heavier loads can call for a thicker slab with rebar, the steel bars that hold it together, and that changes the price.
Tell us about the yard
Let me know about gates, narrow side yards, sprinkler lines, buried pipes you know of and plants close to the work. We need room for forms and the pour, and I'd rather plan around your yard than leave it torn up.
Questions Baldwin Park homeowners ask about concrete
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Baldwin Park?
Ask the city's Building and Safety Division, which issues building permits and inspects construction in Baldwin Park. Its permit examples name electrical, plumbing, mechanical, reroofing and water heater work, not driveways or patios, so that list doesn't settle it. When a job needs one, we find out which office covers your address and handle the permit as part of the job.
When does a contractor need a California license for concrete work?
A contractor needs a license from the Contractors State License Board when the project needs a building permit, uses employees or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The board raised that line from $500 to $1,000 in 2025, and a bigger job can't be split into smaller contracts to stay under it. We're licensed and fully insured.
Does a contractor need a Baldwin Park business license to work here?
Yes, a contractor coming in from outside Baldwin Park needs a city business license and has to file a licensed contractor's declarations form before working inside city limits. The city's Business License Office handles the application and gives contractors the exact fees.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength for days during curing, the slow hardening after the pour. I'll tell you the days for your slab when we plan the pour, since thickness and the mix both play into it.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Concrete can crack, but most of the ugly cracking we tear out comes from a loose base, water running under the slab or joints that were cut late or skipped. We dig out and pack the base, check the drainage and cut control joints, grooves that tell the slab where to crack.
Who comes out to give a concrete estimate in Baldwin Park?
I do. I come out myself to look at the job, walk it with you and write the estimate, with what's included and what isn't spelled out. When the work gets done, I'm on site running our crew.
