Concrete Contractor in Clovis, CA

We are a concrete contractor serving Clovis, CA from our Madera shop, 27.9 miles away.

Estimates are free and on site.

Concrete services in Clovis

Clovis has the newest housing in our service area, with a median build year of 1996 and housing units still climbing year over year. That is the whole story of what we do here. This is not a repair market. It is a decorative market, where the concrete going in is meant to be looked at.

We install stamped and colored patios, exposed aggregate, pool decks, driveways, walkways and outdoor living slabs. Broom finish is available, but in Clovis it is usually the exception rather than the default.

What we install in Clovis

Clovis holds the highest household values and the most active master-planned build-out in the region. In those newer subdivisions the backyard is designed as living space, and the concrete is a finish item, not just a surface to walk on. That changes the job.

A decorative slab is more than a pour. It needs integral color mixed through the batch so the tone runs full depth, a color hardener and release agent worked in at stamping, tight control of the stamp layout so the pattern reads clean at the edges, and a sealer to lock it all in. We build the slab on the same compacted Class 2 base and 4,000 PSI mix we use everywhere, then spend the extra labor on top where a Clovis yard wants it.

The two jobs we pour most here are stamped concrete patios in Clovis and full backyard patio slabs. Both sell on finish, which is exactly why Clovis is the right place for them.

Working around Clovis: the homes and lots we pour for

Clovis housing runs 75.4 percent detached, higher than Fresno, and the lots are newer and more uniform. A 1996-or-later backyard usually has settled grades, an existing pool or a plan for one, and covered patio framing already in place or coming. We pour to work with that layout rather than around decades of prior additions.

On the valley floor freeze-thaw is not a design factor, so we do not build around it. The real risks on a Clovis decorative slab are heat during placement and getting the finish right in one shot, because you cannot redo a stamp once it sets. So we place early, dampen the subgrade and forms, keep mix water to the design amount, and cure immediately. On a stamped pour that discipline is the difference between crisp joints and a slab that fights you.

Permits in Clovis: who you file with

Clovis is its own jurisdiction with its own permit counters, separate from the City of Madera and Madera County. Anything you file for Clovis work is filed with the City of Clovis.

A backyard patio slab sitting on grade inside your property line is generally treated as minor work. The permit questions come up when there is a driveway approach into the public right of way, which needs an encroachment permit, or a patio cover, ledger connection or other attached structure, which can trigger a building permit. We sort out which applies when we walk the site. Clovis is one stop on a wider map, and our Central Valley service areas each have their own permit counter that we confirm for your address.

Nearby areas we also serve

Clovis sits at the northeast edge of the Fresno metro. Just southwest, our Fresno concrete work covers the older, replacement-heavy side of the market, which is a very different job from a fresh Clovis backyard. We also serve Sanger to the south, Kerman to the west, and our home city of Madera to the northwest, along with the SR 41 corridor between them.

Wherever the job is, the build is consistent. Compacted Class 2 base, a 4,000 PSI mix, joints cut on time, and the decorative detail dialed in where a Clovis yard calls for it.
