Concrete contractor services in San Leandro, CA
Complete San Leandro Concrete is a concrete contractor in San Leandro, CA, with 16 services, from new driveways and patios to footings, foundation work and concrete cutting. Most calls start with something you can see, like a cracked or sinking slab or water pooling against the house, and the cause is usually underneath. Your price mostly turns on the size of the area, whether old concrete has to come out, how much digging and base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on permits, the weather and curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength before you use it. Your written estimate spells out each option and what it does to your price.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out and pack the base before we pour a new driveway, then cut control joints, planned grooves that tell shrinkage cracks where to run.
Concrete patio construction
Want a spot for a table and grill? We pour patios that slope away from your house, so rain runs off instead of pooling by the wall.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, for patios, walkways and pool areas that need more than gray.
Concrete sidewalk building
We pour new sidewalks and walkways on a rebuilt base with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes grip when it's wet.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes oil, hot tires and dropped tools, so we pour it thick enough for your car with a smooth finish that sweeps clean.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone finishes and custom borders, for homeowners who want an entry or patio that matches the house instead of a parking lot.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back soil on uneven yards, with footings and drainage behind the wall so water drains out instead of pushing on it.
Concrete floor installation
Need a concrete floor for a shop, shed or addition? We pour it level and finish it smooth or textured for how you'll use the room.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks get wet bare feet all summer, so we finish them with texture for grip and slope them to carry splash water away.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour concrete steps with every step the same height, the detail your feet notice most when it's off.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is the concrete base a garage, addition or backyard building sits on, and we set rebar inside so the steel holds it together.
Foundation installation
We form and pour foundations for additions and new structures, set to the layout and height the plans call for, so the walls start out level and square.
Concrete parking lot building
Own a small rental, shop or church lot? We build concrete parking areas for the traffic they'll carry, with drainage planned before the pour.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads under posts, walls and decks that spread the weight into the ground, and we dig them to the depth your plans require.
Foundation raising
Floors sloping or doors sticking because part of the house has settled? Foundation raising lifts the low section and sets firm support under it.
Concrete cutting
Need a trench for a drain line or a cleaner edge? We saw-cut concrete in straight lines instead of breaking it out with a hammer.
Who pours your concrete in San Leandro
Complete San Leandro Concrete is a fully licensed and insured concrete contractor in San Leandro, in business since 2023. I learned this trade on a concrete crew, forming and finishing slabs, under people who took the time to explain why, and I do the same on every job. Our crew handles 16 kinds of concrete work, from a single walkway to a small parking lot, and you can read more about me and our crew.
About usWhy San Leandro homeowners hire our crew
Every choice explained in plain words
I'll tell you what each choice, from thickness to finish, does for your job, and I'll tell you what concrete can't do too. You'll know what you're paying for before anything gets poured.
The person who bids it runs it
I look at your job, write the estimate and stand on site with our crew for the pour and the finish. So what you told me at the visit doesn't get passed to someone who wasn't there.
Ground work first, finish second
The subgrade, the ground your slab sits on, is the first thing people cut from a budget because nobody sees it later. I'd rather spend there, since a nice finish over loose dirt settles right along with it.
Concrete planned around your house
I framed houses for years before concrete, so I plan your slab around the walls, doors and drains it has to meet. That's how you get a patio that drains away from your siding instead of toward it.

From your first call to the final walkthrough
Call or send the form
Call (510) 766-7334 or send the form with a few lines about your driveway, patio or other job. We get back to you within one business day to set up a visit. You don't need to know exactly what you want yet, just what's bugging you.
I come out and write it up
I come out myself to measure, look at the ground and where the water runs, and ask how you'll use the space. Then you get a free written estimate that explains each option and why it matters. There's no obligation, so take your time and compare it with other bids.
We prep, pour and finish
Once you choose, we check which city or county office covers your address, and when the job needs a permit we handle the application and set up inspections with you. Our crew digs out and packs the base, and I'm on site running the pour and the finish with them.
Walkthrough and care
When the finish is done, I walk the job with you and explain how to look after it, including how long to stay off it while it cures and when it's ready for your car. We clean up the site, and you know who to call if a question comes up later.

Concrete questions we hear in San Leandro
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in San Leandro?
The cost depends on your driveway's size and what's under it, so I can't give a fair number until I've seen the property. Two driveways the same size can land far apart when one needs an old slab broken out and soft ground dug out. The concrete driveway page goes into more detail, and your written estimate gives you the figure for yours.
Does stamped concrete cost more than a plain concrete patio?
Yes, stamped concrete usually costs more than a plain broom finish, because it adds color, pattern mats and extra hands on pour day. It also needs resealing every so often to hold its color. If you like the look but not the bill, stamping only a border is a common middle ground.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You'll be able to walk on a new driveway well before you can park on it, since concrete keeps gaining strength as it cures and a car asks far more of it than your feet. The weather, the mix and the thickness change the wait, so I give you both dates for your slab at the walkthrough. Tearing out the old driveway and prepping the base add time before the pour, and a permit can too.
Is Complete San Leandro Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured for the concrete work we do. That matters on permitted jobs too, because the City of San Leandro issues building permits only to a California-licensed contractor or the property owner. Ask about our paperwork at the estimate and I'm glad to show you.
What does a concrete contractor do before pouring a driveway?
Most of the real work happens before the truck arrives, when we dig out the soft soil, bring in base rock and pack it down so the slab isn't sitting on loose dirt. Then we set forms, add rebar where the job calls for it and check that the slope carries water away from your house and garage. A slab that tips toward the house is a common mistake, and it's easy to avoid with a string line and a level before the pour.
Do you guarantee new concrete won't crack?
No honest contractor can promise concrete won't crack, but our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Concrete shrinks a little as it cures, so we cut control joints on time to give those cracks a line to follow. If something about the finished job doesn't sit right with you, call (510) 766-7334 and tell us.
Does a concrete driveway need rebar?
Usually yes for a driveway, because rebar holds the slab together if it cracks, so the pieces stay level instead of drifting apart. For a small walkway on firm ground it can be optional, and the base under it matters more than the steel. I'll show both choices side by side on your estimate so you can decide.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in San Leandro?
It depends on the job, and the city's Permit Center is where permit applications go and where you can ask about current building codes. Any work in a city street needs an encroachment permit from Public Works, and moving about six dump truck loads of soil or more calls for a grading permit. We check early which office covers your address and handle the application when a job needs one.
