Why Bellflower homeowners redo a driveway or patio

Most calls start with something you can see from the curb: a driveway that's cracked through, a slab that's sunk at one corner, or water pooling against the house after it rains. Usually the cause sits underneath, in a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled right along with the dirt.

The price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete we break out and haul off, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick, from plain brushed concrete to stamped concrete. The schedule turns on any permit and inspection, and on curing, the wait before the slab can take weight. Your written estimate spells out what's included.

If a budget gets tight, I'd keep the money in the base and go plainer on the finish, not the other way around. Nobody sees the base once it's poured, but it's what decides whether your slab stays flat and in one piece.

What we check before a Bellflower pour

Before work starts, we look up which city or county office covers your address, and when your job needs a permit, we pull it as the licensed contractor and set up the inspections. We're licensed and insured, and the City of Bellflower requires a Business Tax Certificate, its business license, under its municipal code.

On site, I check where your water runs so the new slab falls away from the house, and how the old concrete comes out without tearing up the lawn or planters. We pour early in the day when we can, because a slab poured in midday heat tends to end up with a weak, dusty top.

We do the same work in Downey, Norwalk, Paramount and Pico Rivera. If you've got a driveway, patio or walk in Bellflower that needs replacing, call (562) 414-1029 or use the form below to ask for an estimate.

Bellflower concrete questions

Will my new concrete driveway in Bellflower crack like the old one?

Concrete can still crack, but a slab on a dug-out, packed base is much less likely to sink and break up. We cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight place to go, and set rebar, steel that holds the pieces together if one forms.

How long will I be without my driveway after the pour?

You'll stay off the new slab while it cures, and walking on it comes back well before driving does. I'll go over that wait for your job when I come out, along with what the tear-out and prep involve before the pour.

Who licenses concrete contractors in California?

The Contractors State License Board licenses and regulates California's construction industry, including concrete contractors. It sorts contractors into different classifications by type of work, and it also sets the payment rules for home improvement jobs covered in the next question.

How much of a down payment can a contractor ask for in California?

The state licensing board caps a down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. Any other payments are listed clearly in the contract and tied to work already done or materials delivered, and the board says these rules apply to all home improvement projects.

Is my Bellflower address in a mapped earthquake hazard zone?

Type your address into the state's EQ Zapp tool to see, and it will also tell you if your area hasn't been evaluated yet. Mapped zones carry state site-study requirements, though a single family frame house of up to two stories, outside a development of four or more units, is exempt, and local agencies can ask for more.

Who do I call with a Bellflower business license question?

The city's Business License Division takes business license questions at (562) 804-1424. You can also use that line to ask whether a contractor you're thinking of hiring holds a city license, and the city renews those licenses each year on the anniversary date.
