Concrete services in Glendale, CA
Masterwork Glendale Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Glendale, CA, with 16 services that cover flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and floors that lie flat, along with walls, footings and foundations. Most calls start with something that's cracked, sunk or holding water, or with a slab that doesn't exist yet. The price moves with the size of the job, how much old concrete comes out, how much the ground needs before we pour and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on that prep, any permit the job needs and curing, the days concrete needs to harden before you use it. I come out and give you a free written estimate that spells out what's included.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out the old driveway, pack a firm base and slope the new slab so water runs to the street instead of toward your garage.
See the service Concrete driveway buildingConcrete patio construction
Want room out back for a table and grill? We pour concrete patios sized to your yard, sloped so rain runs off instead of pooling.
See the service Concrete patio constructionStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet and colored to look like stone, brick or tile, a common choice for patios and entries.
See the service Stamped concrete servicesConcrete sidewalk building
Sidewalk cracked or lifted where people walk? We replace the broken sections with new concrete set flush, so there's no lip to trip on.
See the service Concrete sidewalk buildingGarage floor concrete
A garage floor carries the weight of cars and stored gear, so we pour it on a packed base with joints cut to steer the cracks.
See the service Garage floor concreteDecorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, stains, scoring and custom finishes for homeowners and businesses who want the slab to look like part of the design, not an afterthought.
See the service Decorative concreteConcrete retaining walls
Need to hold back a slope? We build concrete retaining walls with drainage behind them, so water drains away instead of pushing on the wall.
See the service Concrete retaining wallsConcrete floor installation
We install concrete floors for workshops, additions and commercial spaces, poured flat on a prepared base and finished smooth or sealed for the way you'll use the room.

A pool deck has to drain fast and give wet feet some grip, so we slope it away from the pool and finish it with texture.
See the service Concrete pool decksConcrete steps construction
We form and pour concrete steps for entries, porches and yard grades, with even heights from step to step and a broom finish that gives your shoes grip.
See the service Concrete steps constructionSlab foundation building
We pour slab foundations for additions, garages and new homes, with rebar placed where the plans show it, so the steel holds the slab together if it cracks.
See the service Slab foundation buildingFoundation installation
Building on a slab or over a crawlspace? We dig, form and pour either kind of foundation for houses and additions, built to the approved plans.
See the service Foundation installationConcrete parking lot building
For property managers and business owners, we build concrete parking lots graded to drain, thick enough for daily traffic and jointed so any cracks follow straight lines.
See the service Concrete parking lot buildingConcrete footings
Footings are the buried concrete under a wall, deck post or addition, and we dig and pour them to the size the plans call for.
See the service Concrete footingsFoundation raising
Doors sticking or floors sloping because part of the house settled? We find out why it sank first, then lift and support that section of the foundation.
See the service Foundation raisingConcrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for new doorways, pipe trenches and damaged sections, leaving straight edges and keeping the rest of the slab whole instead of busting it out.

What you get when we take on your concrete
Most of what decides how concrete holds up is buried on the first day: the ground under it, the water around it and where the joints go. That's where we put our attention.
Same person from estimate to finish
I'm the one who comes out to look at your job, and I'm the one running it when our crew shows up, so you explain what you want once and it doesn't get lost.
Awkward jobs, figured out first
We like the jobs with a puzzle in them, like a cracked wall or a house that's settled, and we work out why it happened before we talk about a fix.
Estimates you can compare
Our written estimate says plainly what's in the price and what isn't, like tear-out, base work and hauling, so you can set it next to other quotes and see the real difference.
Base work before a fancy finish
When a budget gets tight, I'd rather trim the finish than the base prep, because a plain slab on packed ground outlasts a pretty one that settles. Call (747) 372-8605 to talk it through.
How your concrete job runs, start to finish
Here's what happens after you reach out, from the first call to the day we walk the finished job together.
Call or send a request
Call (747) 372-8605 or fill out our contact form and tell us what's going on, whether it's a sinking patio, a new driveway or a wall you're not sure about. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come see it.
I look and write it up
I come out myself, walk the site and ask a lot of questions. Where does the water go when it rains? What's under the old slab? Then you get a free written estimate that spells out what's included and what isn't, with no obligation to go ahead.
We prep, pour and finish
Once you say go, we take care of any permit and inspections the job needs. Then we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, set the forms and steel, pour and finish the surface, and cut the joints on time so the slab cracks along lines we picked.
Walkthrough and curing
We walk the job with you at the end and go over what we did. Then comes the curing wait, and I'll tell you when the slab is ready for feet and when it's ready for a car, because driving on it early is one of the easiest ways to damage new concrete.

Glendale, the city we're based in
Glendale is the fourth largest city in Los Angeles County, with almost 200,000 people, and it runs from busy commercial streets up into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains at its north end. On jobs here we meet older homes, hillside driveways that climb, and parking lots and storefronts that see traffic all day.
Brand Park sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains with trails, picnic areas and a playground, and Deukmejian Wilderness Park up in the foothills has trails with views over the Crescenta Valley. The historic ALEX Theatre puts on films, concerts, dance and comedy. It's home for us, so when a driveway, patio or wall here needs work, we're close by.
Cities we work in around Glendale

Questions about concrete work in Glendale
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Glendale, CA?
It depends on your site, so I give you a number after I've seen it, in a free written estimate. The biggest swings come from things a photo won't show, like how much the ground needs before we pour, whether the truck can reach or we have to pump, and whether there's a slope to deal with. The driveway page goes into the cost in more detail.
Why do concrete quotes from different contractors vary so much?
Usually because they aren't pricing the same job. One quote includes tear-out, hauling and a dug-out, packed base, and another just rakes the dirt level and pours, which is the cheapest place to cut and the first to show up as settling. Ask each contractor what's going under the slab.
How long will I be without my driveway or patio?
You'll be without it through the tear-out, the prep and the pour, then for the curing wait, which is usually the longest stretch. You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, and I'll give you both waits for your pour, since the mix and the conditions on the day change them.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Yes, for almost any concrete job you'd hire out. The state licensing board requires a license when the work needs a building permit, uses any workers, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials, and a bigger job can't be split into smaller pieces to get under that line. Glendale also requires businesses located in the city to hold a Business Registration Certificate, and contractors from outside the city get a city contractor's license instead.
Should I pour new concrete over my old cracked slab?
Usually not, because whatever cracked the old slab, whether it's a soft base, water running under it or joints in the wrong place, will crack the new layer the same way. We figure out why it failed first, then tear out what needs to go and fix the ground before we pour.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Our promise is "Your satisfaction, guaranteed." I won't add promises concrete can't keep, like a slab that never cracks, and I'd rather tell you that now than have you find out later. Ask me anything about the work before you sign.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?
Concrete almost always cracks somewhere, so the goal is a slab that cracks where we chose and doesn't sink or heave. We get there with a packed base, a slope that sends water away from the house, a pour timed to avoid the midday heat that leaves a weak, dusty top, and control joints, the grooves we cut so cracks follow them instead of wandering across the middle.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Glendale?
It depends on the job, so ask the city's Development Services division, which issues Glendale's permits. Its simple online permits cover things like re-roofs and water heaters, not concrete. When your job needs a permit, we pull it and line up the inspections, and if we're not sure, we check with the city before we start.
