Concrete work in Petaluma, CA, from patios to foundations
Allied Petaluma Concrete is a concrete contractor in Petaluma, CA, and we handle 16 kinds of work, from patios and driveways to footings and foundations. Most calls start with something that's cracked, sinking or holding water, or with a plan for something new. The price usually comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete and soft ground has to come out, how easy the site is to reach and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on any permit the job needs, the weather and curing, the wait before new concrete can take weight. Your written estimate lists each of those for your job.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways from the ground up, digging out soft soil, packing a firm base and cutting joints so the slab handles daily parking.
Concrete patio construction
Planning a backyard patio? We pour a slab that falls away from your house so rain runs off, finished smooth or with a light broom texture for grip.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gets pressed with patterned mats while it's still soft, giving a patio, walk or driveway the look of stone, brick or slate in one continuous slab.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build front walks, side paths and sidewalks along the street, set to an even grade so people don't trip and water drains off instead of pooling.
Garage floor concrete
Who needs a new garage floor? Anyone parking cars or running a workshop, and we pour a level slab over a packed base built for that weight.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and special finishes on slabs, so a walk, patio or entry matches the house rather than looking plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold a slope in place, set on footings with steel inside and drainage behind it to let water out.
Concrete floor installation
Concrete floors suit shops, barns, studios and commercial spaces, and we pour them flat and level over a prepared subgrade, the ground the slab sits on.
Concrete pool decks
Putting in a pool? We pour the deck around it with a textured surface for wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and house.
Concrete steps construction
Concrete steps give a front door, porch or sloped yard a solid way up, formed so each rise is even and the treads have grip in the rain.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is one reinforced pour that a house, addition or garage sits on, so we spend the time getting the ground under it packed and level.
Foundation installation
We form and pour foundations for new homes, additions and outbuildings, working from the approved plans so footings, walls and steel go where the engineer drew them.
Concrete parking lot building
Running a shop or office with parking out front? We build concrete parking areas on a base sized for the traffic, graded so water drains away from your doors.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete bases under walls, posts and decks that spread the weight into the ground, and we dig them to the depth the plans call for.
Foundation raising
Doors sticking or a floor that slopes can point to a foundation that's dropped, so we look at the cause first, then lift and support the low section.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway in a wall, a trench through a slab or a cracked section taken out? We saw-cut concrete along straight lines so the rest stays intact.
Why people hire us for slabs, walls and foundations
What decides how concrete holds up is mostly hidden once it's poured, so we put our care into the ground prep, the joints and the curing, and we put everything in writing.
The owner, start to finish
I come out to look at your job and write the estimate myself, and I'm the one you talk to through the work and at the final walk-through, so nothing gets lost between people.
A line-by-line written estimate
Your estimate lists the base work, the concrete, the steel, the finish and the cleanup as separate lines, so you can see what you're paying for and compare it fairly with other bids.
City steps planned before booking
We go over the city's permit and inspection steps with you before we set a date, and when a job needs a permit we help with the application, so the schedule leaves room for approval.
Straight talk about cracks
Concrete moves a little over the years, so I show you where the control joints, cuts that give cracks a straight place to form, will go and when to reseal. Call (707) 283-3110 to talk it over.
How your concrete job runs, from call to walk-through
Here's what happens after you reach out, from our reply within one business day to the free on-site estimate and the final walk-through.
Call or send the form
Call (707) 283-3110 or fill out the form on our contact page with a few lines about the job and where it is. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out. There's no charge for the visit or the estimate.
See the site, get it in writing
I come out, look at the ground, the slope and where water runs, and ask how you'll use the space. Then I send a written estimate that lists what's included, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to. Take your time with it, because there's no pressure to book.
Permits, a date and the pour
Once you're ready, we sort out any city steps the job needs and set a date that leaves room for them. Our own crew digs out, packs the base, sets the forms and steel, pours and finishes the concrete, and cuts the control joints on time.
Walk the finished job
Before we pack up, I walk the finished job with you and explain how long to stay off it while it cures and what to watch for over the years. We clear out the forms and leftover material, so your yard is ready to use once the slab is.

Petaluma, where our concrete work starts
We're based in Petaluma, a river city where older houses with worn driveways and walks sit near newer neighborhoods and the farmland the city grew up with. That past is on display at the Petaluma Historical Library & Museum, in the city's former Carnegie Library, with exhibits on poultry, dairy and Miwok history. Downtown, Petaluma River Park draws people to the riverfront, including a group walk on its loop every Tuesday morning.
When a job here needs a permit, the City of Petaluma issues it, and applications go in online through the city's Permits & Planning Hub, which you'll find from the city's permit page. In most cases a permit also needs plans that city staff review and approve before work starts. We go over those steps with you before we book a date, and we do the same careful work in the cities nearby.

Questions about concrete work in Petaluma
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Petaluma?
The cost depends on your driveway's size and thickness, what has to come out first and the finish you choose, so we give you a written figure after seeing the site. Removing an old slab, adding rebar, the steel that holds cracked pieces together, or picking a stamped or colored finish all add to the price, while a plain broom finish keeps it down. If the job needs a city permit, the fee is either flat or based on the project's value, the cost to complete it.
Can I save money on a concrete patio by skipping base prep?
I wouldn't, because the base is the last place to cut when a slab only holds up as well as the ground under it. Raking dirt level instead of digging it out and packing a firm base saves a little on day one, then the slab settles with the dirt and cracks. If the budget is tight, I'd rather go with a plainer finish and keep the base right.
How long before I can walk or drive on new concrete?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, and we put both dates in writing for your slab. That wait is curing, the time concrete needs to gain strength before it carries weight. If the job needs a permit, most take a few weeks or even several months to issue, though some come over the counter or within a few days, so we plan the start around it.
Is Allied Petaluma Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. The City of Petaluma's business license application asks contractors for their state contractor's license number and its expiration date, so it's a fair question to ask anyone you're thinking of hiring, and I'm glad to answer it.
What do you check before pouring a new concrete slab?
We check what's under it and where the water will go, because those two things decide whether a slab settles or sends rain toward your house. The subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, gets dug out and packed instead of raked level. Then we set the forms so the finished slab slopes away from the house.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Before we leave, I walk the job with you and explain what's normal as concrete ages, like fine cracks along the joints and resealing now and then, so you know what to expect.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
Most concrete gets some small cracks over the years, but a packed base, steel and well-placed control joints help keep them small and in places we chose. We cut joints on time instead of late or skipping them, and we plan pours to avoid midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top that chips.
Do I need a city permit for concrete work in Petaluma?
It depends on the job, and the city's building staff are the ones to ask, which we do with you before we set a date. Blocking off a sidewalk during the work needs a permit because it uses the public right-of-way. Building questions go to building@cityofpetaluma.org, and City Hall is open Monday to Thursday and closed Fridays.
