Concrete work we do in Fillmore
We pour driveways, patios and slab foundations in Fillmore much as we do in Santa Paula and Moorpark. The price turns on the slab's size, the digging and base work the ground needs, the finish and truck access. The schedule turns on any permit and on curing, the wait before new concrete can take weight.
The city also requires a City Business License of anyone doing business in Fillmore. That includes contractors from outside city limits, and so it covers us as an Oxnard business.

Why call us for work in Fillmore
I care most about what you can't see once it's poured. Where the ground is soft, we dig it out and pack a firm base rather than rake it level, and we check that water will run away from your house. If the budget is tight, I'd rather simplify the finish than thin the base.

Who issues building permits for concrete work in Fillmore, CA?
The City of Fillmore issues building permits, and its Building & Safety staff are the first people to contact before any construction starts. The exemptions the city lists are for things like fences and small sheds, so I ask the office before we begin. When a permit is needed, we file it and meet the inspector on site.
Does a concrete contractor in Fillmore need a California license?
Yes. California's Contractors State License Board requires a license when the job needs a building permit, uses hired workers or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The board also says a larger project can't be split into smaller contracts to stay under that amount. We're licensed and fully insured.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Concrete can still crack, but a slab on a properly packed base usually cracks where we planned rather than across the middle. Soon after the pour, we cut control joints, which are shallow grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow. Where the slab needs it, we add rebar, steel bars that hold the pieces together.
How long will I be without my driveway after a new pour?
It turns mostly on curing, and you'll be able to walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it. The slab's thickness and the weather change those days, so I'll talk you through the timing for your driveway when I come out to measure.
