Before you
get started.
Straight answers about concrete work, repairs and estimates.
What concrete work does Cen-Cal Concrete do?
excavation, foundation walls, concrete driveways, sidewalks & walkways, garage floors, pool decks & patios, outdoor kitchens, stamped concrete, concrete retaining walls and concrete repair & resurfacing. If your project is not on the list, ask: describe it and Cen-Cal can tell you whether it is a fit.
How long until I can use new concrete?
As a general rule, new concrete is often ready for foot traffic after about a day and for vehicles after about a week, and it keeps gaining strength for roughly a month. Weather and the mix both matter, so follow the guidance you are given for your project.
Why does concrete crack, and can it be prevented?
Concrete shrinks slightly as it cures, so some cracking is normal. Control joints are cut or tooled in so cracks form along planned lines, and good base preparation and drainage reduce settlement. No contractor can promise a slab will never crack.

How do I get an estimate?
Call or text (559) 286-3441, or send the form on this page. Estimates are free, and a preferred time is only a request until Cen-Cal confirms.
Can cracked concrete be repaired?
It depends on the cause. Hairline cracks can often be sealed or filled. Sections that have settled, heaved or broken apart usually need to be cut out and replaced. A site visit is the best way to tell.
Do retaining walls need a permit?
Taller walls, and walls that support a slope, a driveway or a structure, often need a permit and engineered plans. Requirements vary by city and county. Ask what applies to your wall.
