Concrete contractor services in Fremont, CA
Frontier Fremont Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Fremont, and the 16 services below run from a new driveway to the footings under an addition. Most calls start with something you can see: a driveway that's cracked or sinking, a patio where water pools, steps pulling away from the house. The price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how much work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on any permit, the weather and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it takes weight. Your written estimate spells out what's in your job and gives your figure.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out the old driveway, pack a new base and pour a slab thick enough for the cars you park on it.
Concrete patio construction
Want room for a table and grill? We pour patios sloped so rain runs away from your house, with a broom finish, a brushed texture for grip.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is colored and pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, so a patio, walkway or pool deck looks like stone, brick or tile.
Concrete sidewalk building
Sidewalk lifted by tree roots or broken into trip edges? We break out the bad sections and pour a new walk that sits flat and drains.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked, stained or sinking garage floor gets broken out and replaced with a new slab poured over a packed base, ready for your car once it cures.
Decorative concrete
We add color, exposed stone, scored lines or a polished look to driveways, patios and walks for homeowners who want more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
What holds back a sloped yard? A concrete retaining wall on a proper footing, with drainage behind it so water doesn't build up against it.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for workshops, additions and outbuildings, set level over a packed base and reinforced with steel.
Concrete pool decks
We pour the deck around a new or rebuilt pool with a textured top for bare feet and a slope that sends water to the drains.
Concrete steps construction
We rebuild front and back steps that have cracked, sunk or pulled away from the house, with even step heights and steel inside.
Slab foundation building
For a new home, addition or garage, we build the slab foundation it stands on, with the ground packed and the steel set before we pour.
Foundation installation
Building on a raised floor instead of a slab? We form and pour the footings and short concrete walls the house frame sits on, to your project's plans.
Concrete parking lot building
We pave concrete parking lots for churches, shops and apartment buildings, graded to drain and thick enough for steady car and delivery traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads and strips that carry the weight of a wall, deck, post or addition down into firm ground, and we dig and pour them.
Foundation raising
When doors stick, floors slope or cracks climb a wall, a settled foundation is often why, and we lift it back toward level and add support underneath.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for new doorways, plumbing trenches and clean edges where only part of a slab comes out, so the concrete that stays isn't shaken loose.
Why homeowners hire us for concrete work
People usually call us when they want someone who'll explain the job before anything is poured. Here's what that looks like on your project, from the first visit to the cleanup.
You deal with me throughout
I'm the one who comes out, writes the estimate and runs the crew on site, so the person who answered your questions is there on pour day. No question is too small to ask me.
Trained on a city crew
I learned concrete pouring sidewalks, curbs and driveway approaches on public streets, working next to inspectors. Work by the street, permit offices and inspections are familiar ground for our crew.
Care where you can't see
We put the work into the base, forms and steel that get buried on day one, because that's what decides how a slab holds up. If a budget has to give, I'd trim the finish before the base.
Your site and street left clean
We clean up as we go, rinse off the curb and gutter, and haul away the broken concrete and old forms, so your street looks the way it did before we showed up.
How a concrete job runs with us
From your first call to the final walk, you deal with me, and here's how each step goes on your end.
Call or send a note
Call (341) 201-0945 or send a note from our contact page telling us what you're seeing or what you'd like built. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out and look.
I come out and write it up
I come out myself, walk the site, look at the ground and where the water runs, and listen to what you want. Then I write up a free estimate that spells out what's included, so there are no surprises, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
Permits, prep and the pour
Once you say go, we pull any permit the job needs, set up the inspections and meet the inspector on site, and if it's unclear, we check with the city or county office for your address first. Our crew does the work, and I'm on site running it.
We walk the finished job
When the work is done, I walk it with you so you can see the finish, the joints and the edges up close and ask anything. I'll also go over how long to stay off it while it cures and how to look after it.

A Fremont concrete contractor since 2020
Frontier Fremont Concrete Company is a licensed and insured concrete contractor based in Fremont, CA. I started it in 2020 to give homeowners and property owners careful concrete work and plain answers about what they're paying for. Six years on, we pour driveways, patios, steps and sidewalks and take on slab and foundation work in Fremont and the cities around it. You can read how we got started and how we run a job on our about page.
Fremont, the city we work from
Fremont is home base for us, and you likely know its landmarks as well as we do. There's Central Park, where the Hugh A. Block Trail circles Lake Elizabeth with the Mission Peak Hills in view, the working turn-of-the-last-century farm at Ardenwood Historic Farm, and the trails of Mission Peak Regional Preserve, reached from the lots at Ohlone College or the east end of Stanford Avenue.
The ground under all of it takes some care. The city's proposed building code changes keep its rules for soils that can liquefy, losing strength when the ground shakes hard, and for corrosive soils that wear on concrete and buried steel, and they address Fremont's closeness to the Hayward and Calaveras faults. That's why we look at what your slab will sit on before we talk about the finish.

Questions about concrete work in Fremont, CA
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Fremont?
The cost of your driveway comes down to its size, its thickness and the work around it, so your figure comes from a look at the site. Tearing out and hauling off the old slab, fixing soft ground underneath, a tight spot the truck can't reach and a decorative finish all add to it. Your free on-site estimate gives your number.
Does stamped concrete cost more than a plain concrete patio?
Yes, stamped concrete usually costs more than a plain broom finish because the color, the stamping and the sealing all add labor and material. The crew also has to stamp while the concrete is still soft, so pour day takes more hands. A plain slab is the lower-cost choice, and the base underneath is the same either way.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can usually walk on new concrete after a few days, but cars should wait longer, because the slab keeps gaining strength while it cures. Hot, dry weather and the mix both change the wait, so I'll tell you when it's ready for your car. Plan to park on the street for that stretch, plus the days for tear-out and prep.
Is Frontier Fremont Concrete Company licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. In Fremont, the city also requires anyone doing business there to have a current business tax registration before a final building inspection can be scheduled, so it's worth asking any contractor about it before permitted work starts.
How do you prepare the ground before pouring a concrete slab?
We dig down to firm ground and pack a new base, because the subgrade, the soil the slab sits on, decides whether it stays put. A slab poured on raked, loose dirt settles as the dirt does. We also check where the water runs so the slab slopes away from your house, then set the forms and the rebar, the steel bars that hold the slab together if it cracks.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Before we call it done, I walk the finished work with you, so anything you're not happy with gets talked over with me on site.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
Concrete can still crack, but good work keeps cracks small and puts them where we choose. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along, early enough to do their job, and we avoid pouring in midday heat that leaves a weak, dusty top. Old slabs that broke up badly usually sat on a base that was never packed.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Fremont?
It depends on the job, and the city's Permit Center is the place to ask. The City of Fremont requires a building permit before you build, alter, repair or demolish any structure, and if your home is 50 years or older, it requires a historic evaluation before issuing permits for exterior changes. If your job needs a permit, we handle it as part of the steps above.
