Concrete work for homes and businesses in Tacoma, WA

Cornerstone Tacoma Concrete is a concrete contractor in Tacoma offering 16 services, from replacing a driveway that's cracked and sinking to pouring footings for a new building. What moves the price is mostly size, how much old concrete has to come out, how much digging and base work the ground needs, how easy the site is to reach and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on the weather, any permit the job needs and curing, which is the wait before new concrete is strong enough to use. Your own figure comes in a written estimate that spells out what's included.

  • Wide concrete driveway leading to a modern dark-sided home with two garage doors and landscaped beds.

    Concrete driveway building

    We dig out, pack a solid base and pour new driveways for your house, then cut control joints so any cracking follows a line we chose.

  • Aerial view of a large paved backyard patio with seating areas, a built-in fire pit, and a dining table.

    Concrete patio construction

    Want a place for a grill and chairs out back? We build concrete patios that slope away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling by your wall.

  • Curved reddish-brown stamped concrete patio with a block pattern beside a house and lawn.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is a regular pour colored and pressed with patterns so it looks like stone, brick or slate, for patios, walkways and pool areas that want more than gray.

  • New concrete driveway leads to a brick-and-siding house, bordered by lawn and a curved red-brick walkway.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    We pour walks from the driveway to the door and around the side yard, with a broom finish that leaves a brushed texture so shoes grip when it's wet.

  • Large swimming pool bordered by a pale stone deck, with a raised spa and outdoor seating area.

    Garage floor concrete

    Building a garage or redoing one? We pour garage floors thick enough for cars and trucks and pitched so water off wet tires runs toward the door.

  • Circular stamped concrete walkway surrounds a grassy island, with a path extending toward the foreground.

    Decorative concrete

    Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone, scored patterns and special finishes, for homeowners and businesses who want an entry, patio or floor with some character.

  • Stamped concrete patio beside a dark-sided house, with a covered porch, leafy trees, and a backyard fence.

    Concrete retaining walls

    We form and pour concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope so you get level ground to use, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push on them.

  • Tan stamped concrete pool deck curves around a bright blue swimming pool, bordered by hedges and garden beds.

    Concrete floor installation

    For basements, shops, barns and commercial spaces, we place interior concrete floors over a packed base, finished smooth or textured for the work done on them.

  • A pale concrete pool deck surrounds a swimming pool beneath a screened enclosure, with planters along the edge.

    Concrete pool decks

    A pool deck has to drain fast and stay grippy for bare feet, so we slope it away from the water and pick a finish that isn't slick when wet.

  • Gray concrete block steps climb between matching retaining walls to a raised garden bordered by a wooden fence.

    Concrete steps construction

    We build concrete steps for front doors, porches and patios, with even step heights and rebar, steel rods that hold the concrete together as it ages.

  • Smooth concrete patio runs along a house beside a rectangular lawn, with stone edging and block walls.

    Slab foundation building

    Who needs a slab foundation? Builders and property owners putting up an addition, garage, shop or outbuilding, which we pour level on a packed base.

  • Exposed aggregate concrete driveway slopes toward a home with two garage doors, divided by narrow control joints.

    Foundation installation

    We form and pour foundation walls for new homes, additions and commercial buildings, working from your builder's or engineer's plans and checking the ground before the forms go up.

  • Broad concrete driveway with curved dark stamped bands winds between a tree, garden, and wooden fence.

    Concrete parking lot building

    Business owners and property managers call us for concrete parking lots and drive lanes built for daily traffic and sloped so rain heads to the drains, not the doors.

  • Stamped concrete patio with a circular fire pit, curved stone seating wall, and lantern-topped pillars.

    Concrete footings

    Footings are the wide concrete pads or strips that spread a building's weight into the ground, and we pour them for decks, additions, posts and new builds.

  • Decorative stamped concrete patio enclosed by a low block wall, with three wooden chairs and a matching ottoman.

    Foundation raising

    If floors slope, doors stick or a crack keeps growing, part of your foundation has often settled, and we lift it back toward level and look for what caused it.

  • Concrete patio beneath a white pergola, furnished with outdoor dining and lounge sets beside a house.

    Concrete cutting

    Need a doorway in a basement wall, a trench through a slab or a bad section taken out? We saw-cut concrete for straight, clean edges without breaking what's around it.

Why homeowners and builders hire us

  • The owner from estimate to finish

    I come out to write your estimate myself, and I'm on site running the crew when we build it. Nothing gets lost between the person who quoted the job and the people pouring it.

  • Slopes and tight access welcome

    We're known for the awkward jobs, like a tight backyard, a sloped lot or a repair someone else wasn't sure how to start. Those get a real plan at the estimate, so you're not paying for a guess later.

  • Permit office checked before we start

    Before work starts we find out which city or county office covers your address and what it will want to see, and when a permit is needed we handle the paperwork or tell you what to bring if it's one you have to get. That way the paperwork side doesn't stall your project halfway.

How a job goes with us

  1. Call or send a message

    Call (253) 354-0081 or use the form and tell us what you're thinking about, even if it's only a rough idea. We get back to you within one business day to set up a time for me to come out and see the site.

  2. I visit and write it up

    I come out, walk the site and ask what you plan to use the concrete for, because a patio for a table and a pad for a truck aren't built the same way. Then you get a free written estimate that spells out what's included and what isn't, with no obligation, so you can take your time with it.

  3. We prep, pour and finish

    Our crew digs out and packs the base, then sets forms, pours and finishes, and I'm on site running it. The base is the part you won't see once it's done, so it's the part I watch closest, because concrete sitting on loose dirt settles right along with it.

  4. Walk-through and curing care

    Before we pack up, I walk you through how to look after the new concrete while it cures, the stretch when it's still gaining strength and needs to be left alone. You'll know what to watch for and when it's ready for feet and cars.
