Why people hire Standard Buena Park Concrete
A lived-in home has gardens, pets, cars and neighbors, and I want you comfortable having our crew around. I'd rather explain a choice twice than have you surprised later, so you'll know why we're doing each step before we do it.
Built like new construction, around your household
We build the way I learned on new home construction, dug-out base and all, but we plan the work around your gardens, pets, parked cars and neighbors.
The person who quotes it pours it
I come out to look at every job myself, and our own crew does the work with me on site, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the pour.
Drainage and joints settled before the pour
We talk through where water will run, where the control joints go, the cuts that tell a slab where to crack, and how you'll use the space, because those are hard to change later.

Questions we hear a lot
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Buena Park?
The cost depends mostly on the driveway's size, how much old concrete has to come out and be hauled away, the base underneath and the finish you pick. Stamped or colored finishes cost more than a broom finish, the light texture that gives tires and shoes grip. Your written estimate shows the number for your driveway.
Should I spend my concrete budget on the base or the finish?
Spend it on the base and save on the finish. The subgrade, the dug-out and packed ground a slab sits on, is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing people cut, and a weak one is a big reason slabs settle and crack. A plain finish can be dressed up later, but a bad base means tearing the whole thing out.
How long will I be without my driveway or patio?
That depends mostly on curing time, plus how much old concrete comes out first and whether a permit has to be reviewed. We'll tell you up front when you can walk on the new slab and when you can park on it, so you can plan around it.
Is Standard Buena Park Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured. The City of Buena Park also requires contractors working in the city to hold a Buena Park business license, and a contractor with employees has to show proof of workers' compensation insurance when a permit is issued. Those are fair things to ask any contractor you're comparing.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Buena Park?
It depends on the job, so we check with the city or county office that covers your address before we set a date. In Buena Park, permits come from the city's Building Division, and minor work is usually permitted over the counter. When one's needed, we handle the application and build the review time into the schedule.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. We go over the plan with you before anything is poured, and if something about the finished job doesn't sit right with you, tell me and we'll talk it through.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
Any concrete can crack, but a slab on a packed base with joints cut on time mostly cracks where it's meant to, inside the joints. Where the job calls for it, we add rebar, steel set inside the slab that holds pieces together so a crack doesn't spread or shift.
Does a retaining wall in Buena Park need a permit?
In Buena Park, a retaining wall over 4 feet tall, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, needs a building permit, and so does any block wall 4 feet or higher. A shorter retaining wall can still need one if it holds up an added load, like a driveway or slope above it, or holds back certain stored liquids. The city's Planning Division also reviews and approves fence and wall plans.
