Concrete work in Torrancefrom a Hermosa Beach crew
Torrance calls usually start with something you can see: a driveway that's cracked and sinking, a patio where water pools, or steps that have pulled away from the house. We hear from homeowners most, along with builders and small property owners, the same as in Redondo Beach and Inglewood.
Price moves with the size of the job, the old concrete coming out, the base work your ground needs and the finish. The schedule turns on any permit and on curing, the wait before a slab takes feet or tires.
I'll come out, walk your property with you and write an estimate for your job, so call (424) 414-1585.
What we build in Torranceout front, out back and underneath
Here's what we build and repair for Torrance homes and properties, from the driveway out front to the footings under an addition.
- Concrete driveway building Cracked, sinking driveways come out, and we dig and pack the base before the new pour goes in.
- Concrete patio construction Backyard patios sloped away from the house, so water runs out to the yard instead of pooling by your door.
- Stamped concrete services Stamped concrete gives a patio or walkway the look of stone or brick, poured over the same packed base.
- Concrete sidewalk building Front walks and side paths rebuilt where roots or settling have lifted a panel into a trip edge.
- Garage floor concrete Garage floors poured flat and smooth, so cabinets, lifts or a floor coating sit right on them.
- Decorative concrete Color, texture and borders for homeowners who want a patio, step or walk that looks finished, not plain.
- Concrete retaining walls Where a yard steps up or down, a retaining wall holds the soil back with steel and drainage behind it.
- Concrete floor installation Interior floors for additions, workshops and converted garages, set level so the trades after us start square.
- Concrete pool decks Pool decks with a broom finish, a brushed texture for grip under wet feet, sloped away from the pool.
- Concrete steps construction Front and back steps rebuilt with even risers, so nobody misjudges a step on the way in.
- Slab foundation building Slab foundations for new homes and additions, formed level and square so the framing goes up without a fight.
- Foundation installation Foundations for builders and owners adding on, with forms and steel checked before the inspector comes and before we pour.
- Concrete parking lot building Parking areas for small property owners, built thick enough over a firm base to carry cars every day.
- Concrete footings Footings for porches, walls and posts, dug to the depth the plans call for.
- Foundation raising When part of a slab or foundation has sunk, we look at why it moved before talking about raising it.
- Concrete cutting Clean saw cuts for a new doorway, a plumbing trench or one bad section, without breaking up the rest.
Why Torrance homeowners hire usthe ground work comes first
Since 2021 I've run this business around the parts of a job you can't see, and you'll talk with me from the first site walk to the last word about curing.
On site from estimate to pour
I come out to every job and write the estimate myself, then work alongside our crew on the forming, pouring and finishing.
A framer's eye for level and square
I framed houses for years on other people's slabs, so I know a pour that's out of level makes trouble for every trade that builds on it.
Base work before a fancy finish
When a budget gets tight, I'd rather simplify the finish than the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because a fancy surface on raked dirt settles with the dirt.
A clean site and a clear street
We keep the street, the sidewalk and your neighbors' driveways clear and swept while we work, because they live with our job too.
Licensed, insured, satisfaction guaranteed
We're licensed and insured, with satisfaction guaranteed on every job. When you're ready, call (424) 414-1585 and I'll set a time to come out.
From call to cured slabwith me at every step
The estimate comes in writing before any work starts, so you know what's coming, what it costs and who to call with a question.
Call or send a request
Call (424) 414-1585 or send the form, then I come out, walk the site with you and talk through what you want and what Torrance may ask for.
Your written estimate
You get a written estimate, and we ask the city's Building and Safety Division whether your job needs a permit, since that office handles permits for construction in Torrance.
Permit, forms and grade
Once you approve it, we handle any permit, getting zoning clearance first so the city's review isn't held up, then we set the forms and check the grade before any concrete arrives.
Pour day and curing care
On pour day I work with our crew, and before we leave I go over curing and care, so you know when to walk on it and when to drive on it.
What Torrance ground asksof every slab we pour
Torrance's soil, hillsides and nearby faults shape how the city treats foundations, and how we plan a job here.
Expansive soil under slabs
Expansive soil swells and shrinks with moisture, so we pack the base and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a planned line.
Stricter foundation rules
The city made its foundation rules stricter because of that soil, so we plan footings and slabs to them from the first site walk.
Hillsides and fault lines
Hillsides and faults mean stricter soil checks, and the state's EQ Zapp map shows if your address is in a mapped earthquake hazard zone.
Fewer permit-free jobs
A draft city ordinance narrows the work exempt from a permit and doesn't list driveways or patios, so we confirm your job with the city.
Licenses for work here
Anyone working in Torrance needs a city business license, and a state contractor's license applies to permitted jobs or jobs costing $1,000 or more.
