Why Choose Dublin ConcreteDublin Concrete is the preferred local concrete contractor for three main reasons:
|
Concrete PaversConcrete pavers are an affordable, good looking, and enduring alternative to expensive brick or stone pavers. Even in the rare event of repairs being needed, it is cheaper and easier done. At Dublin Concrete, we have the best local masonry designers who have created dozens of beautiful patterns that make your surface look like natural stone. They have the expertise to pour custom designs if you desire. Like with our concrete pouring, we use our proprietary strong, long-lasting mixture that can withstand the toughest of conditions.
Our contractors can install concrete pavers for a variety of applications, including patios, pool decks, sidewalks, driveways, steps, and even retaining walls. No matter where they are installed, we follow a tried-and-true process that keeps the pavers in for years to come. First, we inspect the soil where the concrete pavers are to be laid. We make sure the compaction levels are perfect; if they are not, the soil will more easily shift around after installation, potentially leading to settling (and expensive concrete repairs). Second, we pour a layer of bedding sand on top of the soil. The concrete pavers will sink into this sand and lock into place. Thirdly, we lay edge restraints to keep the concrete pavers packed in laterally. Fourth, we use a machine to vibrate the pavers and add sand into the control joints to further keep them in place. Finally, we add sealant to protect them and keep things from getting under the surface, which is a leading cause of settling. Using this process, our contractors have installed hundreds of concrete paver surfaces and walls that have gone on to last years and years without needing repairs. Furthermore, we can customize your concrete pavers so they have the desired natural stone look you want. We have colors like oyster, slate, and terracotta, and we can also have our masonry artists create a custom color to your liking. |
Concrete RepairAfter you’ve invested in having concrete installed at your home, the last thing you want is for it to become damaged. Unfortunately, damages can be caused by a number of reasons, some of which are completely out of your control. For example, minor earthquakes and long-term exposure to freeze-thaw cycles and daily temperature changes can take a toll on your concrete and cause it to crack or chip. Daily foot and vehicle traffic can also stress your concrete over a long period of time. Sometimes plain old age will get to your concrete because it has been exposed to all of the above. But sometimes it is the fault of the concrete pourer. We have done hundreds of repairs on surfaces that were not properly prepared by compacting the soil. We have seen many concrete slabs that were simply sloppily poured.
Because we have experience with so many concrete repairs in Dublin, CA, we can identify the root cause and stop it in its tracks so it doesn’t happen again. While most concrete repairs break down after 2 years or less, our repairs have lasted customers for decades. We have repaired concrete for foundation walls, pool decks, driveways, patios, retaining walls, sidewalks, garage floors, steps, and more. We use industry leading concrete repair techniques including epoxy injection, resurfacing, and routing and sealing. Epoxy injection forces an epoxy glue into cracks to hold both sides of the crack together and seal out any pests and moisture, which will prevent concrete settling and future cracks. Resurfacing is a good option to cover many small imperfections resulting from wear-and-tear. This makes it a more affordable option than complete concrete replacement. Routing and sealing is another option for sealing cracks where the crack is enlarged into a v-shape and then filled with a polyurethane filling. This is another great way to not only repair concrete but also waterproof it to prevent further damages. |
Concrete LevelingConcrete slabs look stunning when they are even and flush with one another, but the second one starts to sink, it becomes an eyesore. Worse yet, it can become a safety hazard for your family because it can easily be tripped on. Many people believe settled concrete slabs must be replaced entirely, but this is not always the case. Often, concrete leveling is a cheaper (by up to 70%!) and quicker alternative that can bring your slab back to its original position.
At Dublin Concrete, our contractors have leveled hundreds of concrete slabs for patios, garage floors, pool decks, walkways, driveways, and more. What sets us apart from other contractors in Dublin, CA is that we not only level your concrete for you, but also fix the root cause of the problem so it never happens again. Settled concrete can be caused by a number of reasons. One is the absorption of water by soil underneath the concrete. By constantly absorbing water and then drying out, the soil expands and contracts. This, paired with freeze-thaw cycles, causes the soil to shift around and possibly create a void under the slab. Dry soil can also cause settling because it will shrink over a long period of time. Poor soil compaction is another factor because loose soil can sink at any moment. Burrowing pests and animals that get into the soil underneath can also cause the soil to shift around and sink. Our contractors are experts at identifying these issues and solving them before concrete leveling via stone slurry grout leveling, foam leveling, or mudjacking. During this process, they will drill small holes into the sunken concrete and inject a slurry that pushes the slab up. After raising the concrete to be flush with adjacent slabs, we fill the holes, re- caulk the control joints, and seal the concrete to ensure nothing can get in that could cause the slab to sink again. |

More importantly, it won’t cave in under the constant stress caused by foot and vehicle traffic. After removing your old driveway, our contractors take the time to inspect the ground beneath and prepare it for concrete pouring.

Concrete StepsWhile pouring flat concrete may seem doable, pouring into more complex shapes like steps truly requires an experienced professional. At Dublin Concrete, our contractors have installed concrete steps and stairs for hundreds of homes in Dublin, CA and the tri-valley region. Whether the steps will be leading up to your home or down to your patio, whether they are curved or straight, our contractors can shape them to your exact specifications.
Concrete steps are a great solution for many reasons. First, concrete is a durable material that can withstand not only freeze-thaw cycles and extreme temperatures but also the heavy foot traffic that your steps will be receiving. Second, they can improve the safety of your property. Wooden steps can become slippery under rain, and having no steps at all makes it easy to slip in steep grass or mulch slopes. Beyond practical reasons, concrete steps simply make the transition to your home or patio much more seamless and appealing. It improves the experience for family members and guests and looks great as well. When it comes to pouring the concrete steps, no contractor is more versatile in designing than Dublin. We can offer stamped and stained concrete to make your steps stand out with unique patterns and colors. For example, many of our customers ask us to use stamping and a gray or brown color to imitate the look of stone. You will get the premium look without the high price tag and maintenance cost that comes with stone materials. While making your concrete steps shine, we do not compromise on durability. Our proprietary concrete mixture is crack resistant, even under heavy foot traffic. Furthermore, our contractors are trained to prepare the soil where the concrete is to be poured by compacting it. This will prevent any settling, so you won’t have to level it later on. You can rest assured knowing they will last for many years to come. |

Concrete FoundationWhen it comes to the structural stability of your home, nothing is as important as having a strong concrete foundation. It keeps everything above ground planted in place when during hurricanes and earthquakes, bears the load of your home’s weight, keeps your home from sinking into the ground, and repels ground water to keep your home dry. So when it comes to building or repairing your concrete foundation, it is crucial that you choose a concrete contractor that has expertise not just in pouring concrete, but in pouring concrete specifically for foundations.
We are the leading Dublin concrete contractor for installing and repairing concrete foundations. We have done so for hundreds of homes in Dublin, CA and the tri-valley region. Our concrete foundations are meant to withstand the 100+ small to medium size earthquakes that California experiences every day. This is because our proprietary concrete mixture is different from what we use for other applications like driveways and patios. It is not just stronger but also more moisture resistant, which is crucial because groundwater that gets past your foundation leads to mold growth and weakens your insulation. While concrete foundations are usually strong enough to last for many years, they can become damaged by completely uncontrollable factors. If you notice horizontal cracks or cracks that are growing quickly, this may indicate a foundation issue. Sagging floors are also an indicator because it means the concrete has settled. Cabinets that have separated from the wall, the smell of mildew, sinking ground, and plumbing issues are also signs that your concrete foundation may need repair. Luckily, you don’t have to be completely certain that you need repairs. When you call us or fill out the quote form, we can schedule a free inspection for your home to see if there is damage severe enough to warrant repairs. Our concrete contractors have seen damages of all sorts in the Dublin, CA area and can quickly identify the root cause. Having an understanding of the root cause allows us to implement a solution that will prevent future damages. |
