Our concrete work in Ventura
We come over from Oxnard for driveways, patios and foundations in Ventura, and each job starts the same way, with a look at the ground under the slab, which way the water should run and where the joints should go. If an old slab has sunk or cracked, I want to know why before we pour again.
Our crew does the same work in Port Hueneme and Camarillo.

(805) 342-2850Questions about concrete work in Ventura
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Ventura?
The City of Ventura's simple permit list names work like water heaters and re-roofs, not driveways or patios, so we ask Permit Services before any work starts. Concrete that's part of an addition or new construction goes under the city's complex permits, which need plan review. When a permit is needed, we prepare and file it and meet the inspector.
How do I apply for a building permit online in Ventura?
You'll need a Ventura OPS account, the city's online permit system, before you can apply online. If you'd rather go in person, the Permit Services counter is closed on Fridays. When we're doing your concrete job and it needs a permit, we prepare and file it for you.
How early do I need to request a building inspection in Ventura?
The city needs inspection requests by the business day before the inspection. On a permitted job, we book the inspection ahead, meet the inspector on site and plan the pour around that visit.
Will a new concrete driveway in Ventura crack like the old one?
It's less likely with a proper base, since most cracks start with a base that was raked level, not dug out and packed. We pack the ground the slab sits on and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a straight place to go. That base is hidden after the pour, so it's the last thing I'd cut.
