Precision Calabasas Concrete, a concrete contractor based in Calabasas, builds driveways, patios, steps, walls and slabs in Oak Park. We replace driveways and patios that have cracked, sunk or started pooling water, and pour new work where there was none.
Oak Park is an unincorporated community in the southeast corner of Ventura County, set in the valleys of the Simi Hills, with North Ranch in Thousand Oaks on the west and Agoura Hills to the south. It's mostly homes, apartments and condos, and building ran from 1967 until the place was built out before 2010, so the concrete on one street can be decades older than the concrete on the next.
The older slabs are the ones we usually get called about, cracked across the middle, sunk at a corner or pooling water by the garage. Because the lots sit in and around the hills, water runs somewhere on nearly every one, and where it goes decides how we build up the base and which way the new slab falls.
The Oak Park driveways we replace have usually settled or cracked over decades. We break out the old slab, dig to firm ground, pack fresh base and pour.
Explore serviceFor a backyard patio, we set the slab to fall away from the house, so water runs into the yard instead of pooling at your back door.
Explore serviceStamped concrete is pressed with patterns that look like stone, brick or tile. The pattern only lasts as long as the base under it, so we start there.
Explore serviceWe pour walkways from the driveway to the door and along the side yard, sloped so water drains off and jointed so cracks stay in straight lines.
Explore serviceA garage floor takes car weight every day, so we pour it thicker than a walkway, with steel inside, over a base packed to carry the load.
Explore serviceColor, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns change how a slab looks without changing how it's built. We'll talk through which finishes hold up where you walk and park.
Explore serviceOn a sloped lot, a retaining wall holds back the hill. We dig the footing, set the steel and give the water behind the wall a way out.
Explore serviceInterior floors for additions and shops start with a firm, level subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, then a finish that suits how the room gets used.
Explore serviceA pool deck needs a surface that isn't slick and water that drains away from the pool, so we plan the slope and the texture together.
Explore serviceWe build front steps with every rise the same height, so nobody trips, on a footing solid enough that they don't pull away from the house.
Explore serviceA slab foundation for an addition or a new building comes down to what's underneath. We dig, compact and set steel to the plans before any concrete arrives.
Explore serviceWhen you're adding a room or garage, we lay out, dig and pour the foundation to the drawings, so the framing crew starts on something square and level.
Explore serviceFor condo and apartment lots, we build parking areas thick enough for daily traffic and graded so water drains off instead of sitting in the stalls.
Explore serviceFootings carry the weight of walls, posts and patio covers. We dig them to the depth your plans call for and set the steel before the pour.
Explore serviceIf a slab or foundation has sunk and doors stick, we look for why it settled before we raise it, since lifting without fixing the cause rarely holds.
Explore serviceNeed a doorway, a trench for a drain line or a cracked section taken out? We saw-cut clean edges so the new concrete meets the old neatly.
Explore serviceOak Park isn't its own city, so a building permit for work here comes from Ventura County's Building and Safety Division, not a city hall. Whether your job needs one is the county's call, not ours, and if it does, the pour waits until the permit is in hand, so we check with the county before we start and work through whatever they ask for with you. Before you hire anyone, check that they hold a California contractor license. We're fully licensed and insured, and we're glad to have you check.
What moves the price is mostly what's under and around the slab. How much old concrete comes out, how far we dig to reach firm ground, how much the lot slopes, how much steel goes in and the finish you pick all count, and a plain broom finish, the brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, costs less than stamped or colored work. The schedule turns on the permit, if there is one, and on the wait before you can use the new slab. I come out myself, look at the ground and write the estimate, so the figure is for your lot and not a guess. We do the same work in Camarillo and across the cities around Oak Park.
Use the form or call (747) 269-3817 and tell us what's going on with your driveway, patio or slab, and we'll reply within one business day. I'll come out, look at the ground and the drainage, and write your estimate for free, with no pressure to book.
(747) 269-3817The county's building permit guidance says that, generally, all buildings and structures need a permit before construction starts, and the small projects it gives as exempt are things like small storage sheds, flooring and most finish work inside a home. Driveways and patios aren't among those examples, so the county's answer for your address is the one to go by.
The county's building office takes questions by phone at its Ventura office, 805-654-2771, and its Thousand Oaks office, 805-582-8064, and by email. Call either one with questions about a construction project at your address.
A contractor needs a state license when the project needs a building permit, uses any extra workers, or when the labor and materials on its contracts add up to $1,000 or more. You can look up any contractor's license with the California Contractors State License Board before you sign.
Work in Oak Park falls under the Ventura County Building Code, because the community is part of the county and not its own city, and the county updates that code to follow the state's. When a job has a permit, the county reviews the plans and inspects the work while it's being built to check it meets those codes.
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.
Our phone hours run 8 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, so you can call (747) 269-3817 after work or on a Saturday, or send the form anytime.
If you're not sure whether your slab needs patching or replacing, call and ask, and I'll explain what I'd look at.
