Concrete contractor services in Galt, CA

Galt Concrete is a concrete contractor in Galt, CA, and we take on 16 kinds of work, from a new driveway or patio to footings, foundations and concrete cutting. Most calls start with something you can see, like a cracked or sinking slab, water pooling by the house or a bare spot that needs a patio. The price mostly turns on the size of the area, how much digging and base work the ground needs and the finish you pick, since stamped or colored work takes more hands than a broom finish, the light texture that keeps concrete from getting slick. The schedule turns on any permit, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait while the concrete hardens before you use it. My written estimate spells out what goes into your job.

  • Wide concrete driveway in front of a blue house, with expansion joints leading to a white garage door.

    Concrete driveway building

    We dig out, pack a firm base and pour your new driveway, then cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a straight line to follow.

  • A circular stone retaining wall encloses a gravel patio with a wooden pergola, built-in benches, and a fire pit.

    Concrete patio construction

    Want a spot for a table and a grill? We pour patios sized to how you use the yard, sloped so rain runs away from the house.

  • Stamped concrete patio curves around a stone fire pit, with a gazebo, chairs, string lights and gravel beds.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, so a patio, walk or pool deck can look like stone, brick or slate.

  • A wide, newly poured concrete sidewalk with control joints runs beside a brick building and lawn.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    We build front walks and side paths from the driveway to the door or gate, poured on a packed base and pitched so water runs off.

  • A covered patio has a light gray tiled concrete floor, a wood dining table and cushioned chairs beside a swimming pool.

    Garage floor concrete

    Need a floor that takes a car, a workbench and the odd dropped wrench? We pour garage slabs on a packed base with steel set inside.

  • A tan stamped-concrete patio and walkway curve around a low seating wall and flower planter in a landscaped yard.

    Decorative concrete

    Decorative concrete covers color, stains and exposed stone finishes, for homeowners who want a patio, entry or walk that looks dressed up instead of plain gray.

  • A wide concrete driveway curves toward a home's garage, bordered by stone retaining walls and autumn landscaping.

    Concrete retaining walls

    We form and pour concrete retaining walls that hold back soil where a yard steps down, with a footing under the wall and drainage behind it.

  • Covered outdoor concrete floor beside a brick fireplace and built-in grill, with a turf putting green beyond.

    Concrete floor installation

    We pour interior concrete floors for shops, barns, sheds and additions, finished smooth or with some texture depending on what will sit on them.

  • A raised pool deck paved with light stone-patterned concrete surrounds a swimming pool and spa beside a white house.

    Concrete pool decks

    What should a pool deck feel like underfoot? We give ours a textured finish for grip when wet and a slope that carries splash water off the deck.

  • Concrete patio with broad gray pavers, a raised square fire feature, and warmly lit brick retaining walls.

    Concrete steps construction

    We build concrete steps for porches, entries and slopes in the yard, with every step the same height so they feel even underfoot.

  • Curving concrete driveway leading to a large white house, with lawns, mature trees, and a lake nearby.

    Slab foundation building

    We pour slab foundations for homes, additions, garages and shops, with the base, forms and steel set to the plans before the first truck arrives.

  • Concrete pool deck surrounding a rectangular swimming pool, with lounge chairs and a large white house behind it.

    Foundation installation

    Building an addition with a raised floor? We dig, form and pour the footings and low concrete walls the frame sits on, matched to your plans.

  • Smooth gray speckled garage floor with a glossy finish and visible expansion joints.

    Concrete parking lot building

    We build concrete parking areas for shops, offices and small businesses, with a thicker slab and a well-packed base made to carry daily traffic.

  • A wide, smooth concrete driveway with straight control joints leads to a single-story home and its white garage door.

    Concrete footings

    Footings are the buried concrete pads and strips that carry a wall, a deck post or a patio cover, and we dig and pour them to plan.

  • A covered patio has a glossy gray concrete floor with square joints, black railings, and a view of a green lawn.

    Foundation raising

    If floors slope or doors stick because part of the foundation has settled, we lift it back toward level and set new support underneath.

  • A tan stamped-concrete driveway with an irregular stone pattern fronts a garage with stone accents and garden beds.

    Concrete cutting

    Need a doorway, a trench for a pipe or a broken section taken out? We saw-cut concrete with clean edges so the rest of the slab isn't disturbed.

Meet the concrete crew working in Galt

Galt Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Galt, CA. I started it here in 2023 after learning the trade under an old-school foreman who'd make us reset a form if the string line was off by a hair, and I still run the jobs myself with our crew. We're licensed and insured, and we work across 12 cities with their own page on this site, inside city limits and out in the county. You can read more about our crew and how we work.

About us

Why hire our crew for concrete in Galt

  1. Same person at estimate and pour

    I come out to look at your ground and write the estimate, and I'm on site working alongside our crew when we pour. That way the plan we agreed on is the one that gets built.

  2. Real time on base, forms and joints

    We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground your slab sits on, instead of just raking it level. You won't see that work once the concrete's down, but it decides how your driveway or patio holds up.

  3. Straight talk about cracks before we pour

    Before we pour, I tell you where your slab is likely to crack, how curing works and what upkeep it needs. You know what to expect from new concrete instead of being surprised by it later.

  4. We find your permit office first

    Galt is ringed by county land, so the office that covers your job depends on which side of the city line your house sits. We check that first, ask what the job needs and handle the permit paperwork when one is required.

If you've got a driveway, patio or slab in mind, contact us or call (209) 865-3675.

A look at finished concrete

What happens from your call to the pour

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (209) 865-3675 or send the form with a few lines about what you need, whether that's a new driveway, a cracked patio to replace or a slab for a shop. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out.

  2. I walk the job with you

    I come to your property, look at the ground, check where water runs and ask how you'll use the concrete, since a patio for chairs and a pad for a truck aren't built the same. Then I write up a free estimate showing what goes into the job, with no obligation to book.

  3. We prep, form and pour

    If you go ahead, we sort out any permit with the right office first. Then our crew digs out and packs the base, sets the forms and steel and pours, timed around the afternoon heat so the top doesn't dry too fast and turn weak and dusty.

  4. Finish, joints and care

    We finish the surface, cut the control joints and clean up the site. Before we leave, I walk you through curing, including when you can walk on it and when you can drive on it, and the upkeep that helps your new concrete last.

Concrete questions from Galt homeowners

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Galt?

It depends on your driveway, so I give you a written price after I've seen the ground. Size and thickness come first, then whether old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off, how much base work the soil needs and how easy it is to get a truck in. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work.

Should I spend more on the base or on a fancy concrete finish?

Put the money into the base first. It's hidden the day we pour, so it's the first thing people want to trim, but a stamped surface on a poorly packed base settles and cracks like any other slab. A nice finish looks good on day one, and the base is what keeps it looking that way.

How long will I be without my driveway or patio after a concrete pour?

You stay off the new concrete while it cures, with foot traffic allowed well before cars, and I give you the dates for your job before we pour. Breaking out the old slab, any permit and the weather all move the start and the finish.

Do concrete contractors in California need a state license?

Yes, in most cases. The California Contractors State License Board requires a license when a job needs a building permit, uses employees or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and the board says a bigger job can't be split up to get under that amount. We're licensed and insured, and the City of Galt also requires a city business license for any business working inside its limits.

Do you tear out the old concrete before pouring a new slab?

Yes, when we're replacing a slab we break out the old concrete and haul it away before anything new goes in. Then we dig out and pack the base, because soft ground underneath is usually why the old slab sank. Every step is listed on your written estimate.

Do you guarantee your concrete work?

Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Concrete still moves and can crack over time, so before we pour I tell you plainly what normal concrete does as it ages and what to watch for.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?

It may get some cracks, since most concrete does, but we work to keep them small and in places we chose. We cut the control joints on time so cracks follow those lines, set rebar, steel bars that hold the slab together, where the job calls for it, and pour on packed ground instead of loose dirt.

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Galt, CA?

It depends on the job and your address, so we check before we pour. For homes inside the city limits, the City of Galt Building Division issues building permits, reviews plans and inspects the work. We ask the office covering your address what your job needs and handle the paperwork when a permit is required.
