Why people hire us for concrete work
Once a slab is poured, nobody gets a second look at what's under it. So these are the habits we bring to the job, from the first visit to the last walk-through.
Prepped like it's getting inspected
I learned concrete on a city crew pouring sidewalk and curb, where every pour got inspected. We still prep and form your job like someone's coming to check it, because on permit jobs, someone is.
The owner, call to walk-through
You deal with me from the first call through the final walk-through, not a salesman who disappears after the estimate. Our crew does the prep and finishing, and I'm usually there on pour days.
Straight talk about cracks
Concrete cracks. It's not personal, it's concrete. Before you sign anything, we tell you plainly what normal concrete does, so you can tell a hairline crack from a real problem later.
Water sent away from your house
Before we set a form, we check where rain runs on your lot, so the slab falls away from the house instead of toward it. Flat and draining right is what we're known for.
Concrete work we do in South Gate, CA
Allied South Gate Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in South Gate, CA, with 16 services for houses, rentals and businesses. Underneath all of them is the same job. Get the ground right, send the water away and pour a slab that sits flat. Price mostly follows the size, the thickness and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on prep, any permit and its inspections, and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it takes feet or tires. I come out, look at the job and send a written estimate with your own numbers.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways and replace cracked or sinking ones, with a base dug out and packed for the weight of your cars.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place for a table and grill out back? We pour patios that fall gently away from the house, so rain heads away from your back door.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored to look like stone, brick or tile, for driveways, patios and walks that want more than plain gray.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build front walks, side paths and sidewalks with joints cut on time, so cracks tend to follow our lines instead of wandering across the walk.
Garage floor concrete
Is your garage floor cracked, sunken or chipping? We break out the old one and pour a new slab built for cars, tools and a workbench.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete means color, scored patterns and textured finishes, for homes and storefronts where the slab is part of the look and not just something to stand on.
Concrete retaining walls
Got a slope shoving dirt onto your yard or driveway? We build concrete retaining walls on solid footings, with drainage behind them so water has somewhere to go.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for shops, additions, rentals and small commercial spaces, finished flat and smooth for whatever goes on top, from tile to shelving.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck takes wet feet and splashing. We pour decks with a broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives bare feet some grip.
Concrete steps construction
Loose or crumbling front steps? We form and pour new steps that are all the same height, so nobody catches a toe on the odd one out.
Slab foundation building
We build slab foundations, a concrete base poured right on packed ground, for new homes, additions, garages and backyard units that need a level start.
Foundation installation
For owners and builders putting up something new, we install foundations with rebar, steel bars that keep the concrete together under load, placed to the plans.
Concrete parking lot building
Business owners and landlords call us for concrete parking lots and pads, poured for daily traffic and sloped so water heads for the drains.
Concrete footings
What holds up a wall, post or patio cover? Footings, the concrete buried under it. We dig and pour them to the size your plans call for.
Foundation raising
Part of the house or slab dropped and doors started sticking? We raise the low section back toward level and support it from underneath.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for doorways, plumbing trenches, joints and clean edges where old slab meets new, and it's a lot neater than a jackhammer.
How a concrete job runs with us
Here's what a job looks like from your side, from the first phone call to the day we pack up.
Call or send the form
You call (213) 329-1420 or send the form with a few lines about what you have in mind. We reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out. A rough idea of what you want and where is plenty to start.
Site visit and estimate
I come out myself to measure and look at the ground, where the water runs and anything in the way, like tree roots, utility lines or a narrow gate. Then I send you a written estimate. It's free, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
Permit, prep and pour
If your job needs a permit, we pull it, set up the inspections and deal with whichever city or county office covers your address. Then our crew digs out, packs the base, sets the forms and pours. Curing, the slow hardening that follows, is the part you wait out.
Final walk-through
Before we pack up, I walk the finished job with you. We look at the surface, the edges and the joints, and I tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for the car. Keep the dog off it. Concrete remembers paw prints.

Working in South Gate and close by
South Gate is a city of houses, duplexes and small businesses, with some big green spaces people know well. South Gate Park is the largest park in the city, and its southeast corner hosts a Certified Farmers Market every Monday. Hollydale Regional Park has a city dog park off the Century Boulevard entrance, and the South Gate Swim Stadium offers swim lessons and fitness swim to the public.
Most concrete calls here are about the same few things. Driveways that sank at one end, patios that hold water against the house, walks that cracked wherever they felt like it, and slabs and footings for rentals and shops. I started the business here, so these are our neighbors' driveways, and we treat the cities next door the same way.

Questions about concrete in South Gate
Call (213) 329-1420How much does a new concrete driveway cost in South Gate?
It depends on your driveway, so I give you a real number after I've seen it. Tearing out old concrete, fixing a soft base and getting a truck down a narrow side yard all change the price. The estimate is free and in writing.
Where should I spend money on a concrete job if my budget is tight?
Spend it on the base, the packed ground the slab sits on, because you can't fix it later without breaking out the concrete. It's the first thing people want to cut, since nobody sees it on day one. A plain broom finish on a good base usually outlasts a fancy finish on a bad one.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Plan on days, not hours, because concrete keeps hardening long after it looks dry and a car asks more of it than your feet do. I give you the walk-on and drive-on timing at the walk-through. On permit jobs, lining up inspections is often the longer wait.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Yes, in most cases. The state's Contractors State License Board requires a license when a job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. We're fully licensed and insured. South Gate also requires contractors working in the city to hold a city business license, even when their office is elsewhere.
What does a concrete crew do before pouring a slab?
We dig out the soft soil, pack the base until it's firm and set the forms, because a slab is only as good as what it sits on. Rebar goes in where the job calls for it. The pour itself is the quick part.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes. Our promise is "Your satisfaction, guaranteed." What we won't do is promise a slab that never cracks, because concrete doesn't take orders and anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
It may get small cracks, because concrete shrinks as it hardens, but we plan for them with control joints, grooves cut into the slab so it cracks along lines we chose. Old slabs usually crack all over because the joints were cut late or skipped, or the base was raked flat and never packed.
Does my concrete project need a permit in South Gate?
It might, and the city decides. South Gate's Building and Safety Division says permits are typically required for home improvement, repair, construction and demolition work, including most excavations. For a ruling on your specific job, ask Building and Safety, and if it needs one, we take care of it.
