What to expect from our concrete crew
A concrete crew should dig out bad ground, tell you the truth about your slab and keep the person who quoted the job close to the work. Here's how we do that.
You deal with the owner
I come out to look at your job myself, and I'm on site running our crew when we pour. What we talk about at the estimate is what gets built, with nobody in between.
Bad news at the estimate
If the ground is soft or the yard drains toward your house, I'll say so when I look at the job. Better you hear it before booking than a year after the pour.
Licensed in California, insured for every job
We're licensed and fully insured, which is worth checking with any crew before they work on your property. Read more about us, or call (559) 820-0664 when you're ready for a look.
Pouring concrete for homes across Visalia
Visalia sits in the southeastern San Joaquin Valley in Tulare County, and it's a city of family homes with driveways, back patios and front walks, which is where most of our calls come from. You probably know Plaza Park, with its pond and the Cody Kelley Bark Park, and Seven Oaks Park, which has the city's other off-leash dog park.
The Visalia Heritage Room at The Lofts at Fort Visalia shows photos of early Visalia and a diorama of Fort Visalia. Nearby, Kaweah Oaks Preserve protects 344 acres of valley oak forest along the streams, about seven miles east of downtown. We're based in Visalia and pour driveways, patios and slabs for homes here and in the cities around it.
Concrete contractor services in Visalia, CA
Advanced Visalia Concrete is a concrete contractor in Visalia, CA, and the 16 services below run from new driveways and patios to footings, saw cutting and raising foundations that have settled. Price mostly comes down to the size of the job, how much old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off, how much digging and base work your ground needs, and the finish, since stamping or color takes more labor than a broom finish, the light texture that gives feet and tires grip. The schedule turns on that prep, on a permit if your job needs one and on curing, the days new concrete spends hardening before you use it. For a figure on your own job, I'll come out and give you a free estimate on site.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out, pack the base and pour new driveways sized for your cars, with joints cut to guide where cracks form.
Concrete patio construction
Want a backyard patio for a table and chairs? We pour it level enough to sit on and sloped just enough to shed water.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and color while it's still wet, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build front walks and side paths to your door, poured over a packed base that holds them even.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floor cracked, stained or sunk? We break it out and pour a new slab that takes the weight of your cars.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, stains and patterned finishes for homeowners who want a slab that looks like part of the house, not plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
Yard slope washing dirt onto your walk? We pour retaining walls that hold the ground back and let water drain through.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for shops, sheds and additions, troweled smooth and level for flooring, equipment or everyday use.
Concrete pool decks
Around the pool, we pour decks with a textured finish for wet, bare feet, sloped so splash water runs off instead of pooling.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour front and back steps with even step heights, so each one feels the same underfoot.
Slab foundation building
We pour slab foundations for garages, additions and new homes, with steel rebar tying the slab together over packed ground.
Foundation installation
Putting up a new home or building? We dig and pour the foundation your plans call for, starting from the footings up.
Concrete parking lot building
For small business and property owners, we grade, pack and pour concrete parking lots built to carry daily car and delivery traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads under walls, posts and patio covers, and we dig and pour them to spread the weight into firm ground.
Foundation raising
Floors sloping or doors sticking? We raise settled foundations back toward level and look first for what let the ground move.
Concrete cutting
Need a cracked section removed or an opening cut for a pipe? We saw-cut cleanly so the rest of the slab stays whole.
Examples of concrete work
Look through these examples of driveways, patios, steps and decorative finishes to see what different kinds of concrete work can look like.
Questions about concrete work in Visalia
Here are straight answers to the questions homeowners usually ask about price, timing, cracking and permits. If your job doesn't fit any of them, call (559) 820-0664 and ask.
Where can I save money on a new concrete driveway or patio?
Save on the finish, not on the base, because the dug-out, packed ground under the slab is what keeps it from settling with the dirt. A plain broom finish costs less than stamping or color, while a slab poured over raked dirt usually has to be torn out once it sinks.
Is a concrete estimate in Visalia free?
Yes, our estimates are free, done on site and come with no pressure to book. I look at the job in person because the ground, the slope and how the truck gets in all change the price, and a phone guess can't see any of that.
How long until I can walk or drive on new concrete?
You can walk on it sooner than you can drive on it, and we'll tell you both waits for your slab before we pour. Those days are curing time, when the concrete hardens and gains strength, and tires put far more weight on it than feet do.
Does a concrete contractor in Visalia need a California license?
Yes for most jobs, because the California Contractors State License Board requires a license when a project needs a building permit, uses any additional workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, counting every contract on it. We're licensed and fully insured, and it's fair to ask any crew about both before they start.
What happens after I call about a concrete job?
We reply within one business day and set a time for me to come look at the job myself. If you book, we sort out any permit question first, then our crew does the work with me on site running it.
Is your concrete work guaranteed?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. At the estimate I'll also tell you how your slab is likely to behave over the years, including where it may crack, so you know what to expect after we leave.
Will my new concrete crack like the old one?
It may crack a little, because nearly all concrete does as it dries and shrinks, but the goal is small cracks in places we picked. We cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, and pour over a dug-out, packed base so it's far less likely to sink with the dirt the way many old slabs did.
Who can pull a building permit in Visalia?
In Visalia, the city issues permits only to property owners or state-licensed contractors, through its Building Safety Division, which also checks plans and inspects new construction, additions and remodels. Whether your concrete job needs one is a question for that office, and if it does, we work out with you who applies before we book.
