Concrete work for homes and businesses in Antioch, CA
Excel Antioch Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Antioch, CA, with 16 services that run from a backyard patio to the foundation under a building. Most calls start with a slab that's cracked, sinking or uneven, or water pooling where it shouldn't. The fix usually starts with the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on. Your price mostly comes down to the size, how much old concrete comes out, how much digging and base the ground needs, and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on how a truck reaches the spot, anything the city needs, and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before you use it. I give you your own figure in a written estimate after I measure.

Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways from the ground up, digging out and packing the base so the slab carries your cars and doesn't settle with the dirt.

Concrete patio construction
Want somewhere flat for a table and grill? We pour backyard patios sloped away from the house, so rain runs into the yard and not toward your walls.

Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, so a patio, walkway or pool deck can look like stone or brick without the loose pavers.

Concrete sidewalk building
Tripping over a heaved or broken walk? We replace it and cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow instead of wandering.

Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes car weight and dropped tools, so we pour it over a packed base at a thickness suited to what you park there.

Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and patterned finishes for homeowners and businesses who want a slab that looks finished, not plain gray.

Concrete retaining walls
When a slope keeps washing onto your yard or driveway, we pour a concrete retaining wall to hold the soil back and give you level ground to use.

Concrete floor installation
We install interior concrete floors for shops, workspaces and additions, with a packed base and a flat, hard finish that stands up to foot traffic, carts and equipment.

Concrete pool decks
Worried about slipping around the pool? We pour pool decks with a textured finish for grip and slope them so splash water drains off.

Concrete steps construction
We build concrete steps up to your front door, porch or patio, laying out every rise evenly so each step feels the same underfoot.

Slab foundation building
We pour slab foundations for garages, additions and outbuildings, packing the base and setting rebar, the steel that keeps cracks tight, before any concrete arrives.

Foundation installation
Building something new? We lay out, dig and pour foundations under homes, additions and commercial buildings, so the walls going up start square and level.

Concrete parking lot building
For small business owners, we build concrete parking lots graded to drain, with a broom finish, a lightly brushed texture, for grip in the rain.

Concrete footings
Footings are the buried concrete pads under walls, posts and decks, and we dig and pour them so the weight above sits on firm ground.

Foundation raising
Floors sloping or doors sticking? Foundation raising lifts a settled section back toward level, and we look at why it sank before deciding how to lift it.

Concrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for new doorways, utility trenches, control joints and clean removal lines, so only the section that needs to go comes out.
Why people around Antioch hire us for concrete
Concrete is hard to undo once it's down, so how a contractor works before the pour matters as much as the pour itself. Here's what you get with us.
The person who prices it runs it
I come out for your estimate myself, and I'm on your job with my crew, so the person who measured and priced it is the one making sure it's built that way.
Straight talk about cracks
Concrete cracks, and I'd rather you hear it from me now. We cut control joints on time so cracks usually land in them, and a hairline crack won't catch you off guard.
Estimates you can compare line by line
Our written estimates spell out what's included and what isn't, like tear-out, base, rebar and finish, so you can lay them next to other bids and see what each one leaves out.
Permit questions settled before we dig
We find out which city or county office handles your address and what it wants before we start, so work at the curb or sidewalk doesn't stall halfway. To talk through your job, call (925) 503-1201.
Our process from first call to final walk
Here's what happens after you reach out, from the free on-site estimate to the walk-through when we're done, with no pressure to book.
Call or send a message
Call (925) 503-1201 or use our contact form and tell us what you've got in mind, whether that's a new patio or a driveway that's sinking. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come look at it.
I walk the site and send a price
I come out myself, measure the area and look at the ground, where the water runs, what's around it and how we'll get concrete to it. Then I send you a written estimate. It's free and there's no pressure to book, because I don't quote concrete off a phone call.
We prep, pour and finish
Once you say go, we sort out anything the city or county needs, then dig out, pack the base and set forms. We plan the pour around the heat of the day, because a slab that dries too fast ends up with a weak, dusty top. Then we finish it and cut the joints.
We walk the finished job together
Before we leave, I walk the finished job with you, go over how long to stay off it while it cures, and show you where the joints are and why. We clean up and haul off the old concrete and the forms.

Antioch, where our business is based
Antioch is home base for Excel Antioch Concrete Company, and it's a city with plenty of room to get outside. The city keeps over 30 public parks, and Contra Loma Regional Park covers 775 acres, including an 80-acre reservoir, for fishing, hiking and biking. The Greathouse Visitor Center at Black Diamond Mines, with an Antioch address off Highway 4, lets you see the workings of a 20th-century sand mine and displays from the coal and sand mining eras.
Rain is light here, a little over 13 inches a year on average, and the average high runs about 73 degrees, so most of the year is workable pouring weather. What we plan around is afternoon heat on pour day and getting what rain does fall to run away from the house. From downtown, where El Campanil Theatre still puts on shows, out to the edges of the city, we pour driveways, patios and steps for our Antioch neighbors and do the same work in the cities around it.

Questions about concrete work in Antioch
Call (925) 503-1201It depends on what's under and around the slab as much as its size, so I don't give a number until I've measured it. Tearing out old concrete, a long reach for the truck, extra digging on a slope and a stamped or colored finish all add to it, while a plain broom finish on an open, level site keeps it down. My written estimate lists each part so you can see where the money goes.
Yes, because the base is the one part of the job you can't fix later without tearing the slab out. It's hidden on day one, so it's often the first thing a low bid cuts, and a slab poured on raked dirt tends to settle and crack along with it. If the budget's tight, I'd rather you go plain on the finish and keep the base right.
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and I'll give you both waits for your slab, because they depend on its thickness, the mix and the weather that week. Plan on parking on the street for a while after the pour, since the slab keeps gaining strength as it cures and early weight can crack it.
For most driveways and walks I'd pick a broom finish, because it grips when it's wet and costs less to put down. On a patio or pool deck where looks matter more, stamped concrete makes sense, as long as the budget still covers a solid base under it.
No, and be wary of anyone who does, because concrete shrinks as it cures and moves with the ground under it. What we can do is pack the base, set rebar where the slab needs it and cut the joints on time so cracks usually stay in the joints and stay tight. Our work is satisfaction guaranteed.
Because the things that move the price, like the grade, the drainage and how we get concrete to the spot, only show up when someone is standing there with a tape measure. So I come out, measure and send a written price you can compare against other bids.
Yes, in most cases, because the state licensing board requires a license whenever a project needs a building permit, uses any extra workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined. The City of Antioch also requires a current city business license from anyone doing business in the city, subcontractors included. As noted above, we're licensed and fully insured.
The slab itself may not, because the city's building division lists most residential concrete flatwork as permit-exempt, but work in the public right-of-way, like a curb cut or driveway change, needs an encroachment permit from the city's Engineering Division. Retaining walls three feet or less are on the same exempt list. Questions about your own project go to the city's Building Division.
