Precision Calabasas Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Calabasas, CA. We pour driveways, patios, steps, retaining walls and slab foundations for homes in Agoura Hills, starting with the ground underneath.
Agoura Hills is mostly homes, with the shops and offices along the freeway and the neighborhoods climbing into the hills on either side. A lot of the driveways and patios we're called out to have been down for decades, and it's much the same right next door in Oak Park.
Most of what we're called out for here comes back to the ground. A sloped yard sends water across the slab and under its edges, and fill dirt on a cut hillside lot can keep settling for years. That's how an old driveway ends up sunk at one corner, or a patio tips back toward the house. On an Agoura Hills visit I spend more time looking at the ground and where the water goes than at the old concrete.
We tear out the cracked or sunken driveway, dig out and pack the base, and pour a slab sized and reinforced for a car coming up your slope.
Explore serviceWant a patio off the back door that doesn't tip toward the house? We set the slope away from your walls first, then pour and finish it.
Explore serviceStamped concrete gets a stone or brick pattern pressed in while it's wet, so we settle the pattern and color with you before the pour.
Explore serviceSidewalks and side-yard paths are flatwork, the flat pours on the ground. On a slope we add steps or a gentler grade so the walk stays easy underfoot.
Explore serviceWe break out a cracked or oil-soaked garage floor and pour a new slab over a packed base, with a slight fall toward the door for washing out.
Explore serviceIf you want color, exposed stone or a polished look, we plan decorative concrete around how the surface wears and cleans up, not just how it looks on day one.
Explore serviceOn a cut hillside, a concrete retaining wall holds back the slope, so we size the footing and steel to the soil and add drainage behind it.
Explore serviceConcrete floors for workshops, studios and additions start with a level, packed base and a vapor barrier underneath, so ground moisture doesn't wick up into the room.
Explore serviceA pool deck has to shed water toward the drains and give wet feet some grip, so we plan the slope and a textured finish together.
Explore serviceFront steps on a sloped walk need even rises so every step feels the same, and we set them on footings below the loose topsoil.
Explore serviceOn a slab foundation for a new home, addition or garage, the base and steel matter more than on any other job we do, because the whole building rides on them.
Explore serviceBuilding on a hillside lot here often means stepped or deeper foundations, so we dig, form and set steel to the plans before any concrete arrives.
Explore serviceParking lots for offices and shops take heavier traffic than a driveway, so the plan starts with a thicker base and getting rainwater to the drains.
Explore serviceFootings are the concrete under a wall, post or deck that spreads its weight into firm soil, so we dig down to solid ground before we pour.
Explore serviceIf a corner of the house has dropped or doors have started sticking, foundation raising lifts the settled section back toward level. We look for why it sank first.
Explore serviceNeed a doorway through a wall, a trench across a slab or a bad section out? We saw-cut clean lines so we don't break up the concrete that's staying.
Explore serviceWhether your concrete job needs a permit is up to the city or the county, not us. The local government here is the City of Agoura Hills. Before we start, I check with the office that covers your address and work through whatever they ask for with you. If they want a permit, your start date waits on it. While you're checking that, check your contractor too. The California Contractors State License Board licenses contractors in the state. A city business license here lasts one year from the day it's issued and has to be renewed before then, so ask whoever you hire to show you a current one. We're fully licensed and insured.
Most of the price here is set by what's under and around the slab. It depends on how much old concrete comes out, how much bad ground we replace, and how much steel goes in. It also depends on whether a truck can reach the forms, or whether we need a pump for a steep drive or a tight road up in the hills. The finish moves it too. A broom finish, the light texture that keeps a slab from getting slick, costs less than stamped or colored work. The schedule turns on the permit answer, the tear-out and the curing, the days new concrete needs to gain strength before you can walk or drive on it. When I come out, I'll write up your number and walk you through it. We do the same work in Westlake Village and back home in Calabasas, so lots like these are familiar ground.
Tell us about the driveway, patio, wall or slab you have in mind, and we'll reply within one business day. Then I come out myself, look at the ground and the drainage, and write up your estimate. It's free, and there's no obligation to book.
(747) 269-3817In California, the state licensing board requires a license when a job needs a building permit, uses any extra workers, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A bigger job can't be split into smaller pieces to get under that line. We're fully licensed and insured, so that part's covered before I write your estimate.
It does if the addition adds 50 percent or more of your existing floor area within any 12-month period, and the attached garage counts toward that. The city's fire code also calls for automatic sprinklers in every newly built building. Detached private garages, sheds and agricultural buildings under 1,000 square feet that sit at least six feet from other structures are exempt. Sprinklers aren't our trade, so if we're pouring the slab or footings for your addition, settle that with your builder before we form anything.
Yes. The state licensing board's law book summarizes a bill that lets you cancel a home improvement contract by email and requires the contract to include the contractor's email address. Ours is hi@calabasasconcrete.com. I'd rather you send me a question there before you sign than wonder about it afterward.
We're based in Calabasas and work across the cities around it, including the ones listed here. If your city isn't on the list, call and ask.
We pick up seven days a week from 8 AM to 9 PM. Call (747) 269-3817 while you're home looking at that crack, or send us the form.
If something about your slab, your slope or the old concrete has you wondering, send us a note and I'll walk you through it.
