Concrete patio construction in Montebello CA - a backyard slab built on a solid base
Cracked, sinking or uneven patio, or just bare dirt out back? We dig out, pack the base and pour a slab you can use.
What goes into building a concrete patio in Montebello?
Concrete patio construction in Montebello means we tear out any old slab, dig out and pack the base, then form, pour and finish new flatwork, our word for flat concrete like patios and walks. Most of the work happens before the pour.
Most calls start with an old patio that's cracked, sinking or pooling water by the back door, or a yard of bare dirt you'd like to use. The price moves with the size, whether there's an old slab to haul off, how much digging the ground needs, how easy it is to get equipment back there and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on whether the city wants a permit, the weather on pour day and curing, the wait while the concrete hardens before it can take weight. Your own figure comes from the written estimate once I've seen the yard. We're based in Montebello and take patio jobs across the cities around it.
Why homeowners pick us for a concrete patio
You can count on straight talk and flatwork that's laid out right before the truck shows up, because the prep you can't see decides how a patio holds up.
I look at every job
I come out to see your yard in person, and my crew builds the patio with me on site.
In business since 2017
I started this company in 2017 after years of summers on concrete crews, setting forms and watching good finishers.
Fully licensed and insured
We're fully licensed and insured, so you aren't taking a chance on an uncovered crew working in your backyard.
Bad news at the estimate
I'd rather tell you something you don't want to hear at the estimate than surprise you once the forms are set.
Cheaper options when they fit
If a smaller slab or a plainer finish suits your yard better, I'll say so, even when it shrinks the job.
Concrete patio options we'll talk through
We pick the finish and layout around how you'll use the space and what you want to spend, and the base under it stays the same either way.

Call or send the form with the patio size, any old slab to remove and any roof or pergola plans.
Why homeowners trust Complete Montebello Concrete Company with patios
It starts with me in your yard, looking at where the water runs now, how the ground feels and how we'll get equipment back there. Then we dig out, pack the subgrade, which is the ground the slab sits on, and set the forms so the finished patio falls away from the house.
If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish before the base, because a nice surface on soft ground still settles. On hot days we pour in the cooler part of the day, as one concrete maker's hot weather guidance advises, and we don't add water to cool or loosen the mix, since that costs it strength. Every patio we pour is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Patio questions we hear in Montebello
How much does a concrete patio cost in Montebello?
Across California, a 4-inch concrete slab installed with labor and materials usually runs about $9 to $18 per square foot. Where your patio lands in that range depends on the tear out, the digging, access and the finish, and your figure comes from our written estimate.
How do I compare concrete patio bids?
Check what each price includes before you compare per square foot, because every bid leaves out different things. Look for removal of the old patio, excavation, base prep, reinforcement like rebar, the steel inside that keeps cracks from spreading, the finish, access equipment, drainage and any approvals. Ours lists the tear out, the prep and the finish on paper.
Will my new concrete patio crack?
Probably a little, and that's normal concrete behavior. One slab design guide says crack-free slabs aren't realistic even with the best design and proper construction, so we cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack instead of a random one. I'll walk you through what to expect before we pour.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Montebello?
Ask the city before work starts, because Montebello's Building and Safety Division issues building and grading permits and asks owners to check with it before any project. A permit technician there takes questions at (323) 887-1497, and if your patio needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections.
Who can build a concrete patio in California?
A contractor licensed in the state's concrete class can, since that's the class for flat concrete work. A state licensing board rule also lets a landscaping contractor take on concrete when it's part of a landscape project, so it's fair to ask a bidder which license they're working under.
What is the best way to plan a concrete patio with a pergola or roof?
Mention it to every bidder up front, because one cost guide says a roof or pergola over a patio needs its own separate footings for the supports. Those footings change the dig and the layout, so we'd rather plan them with the slab than come back for them later.
What happens when you call about a patio in Montebello?
We plan your patio around how you'll use it and the city's schedule, so you know who's coming, what's on paper and when the pour happens.
