The person who quotes your job runs it
I'm the one who looks at your job and writes the estimate, and I work alongside our crew when we pour it. Nothing you told me gets lost between the estimate and the pour, and you've got one person to ask.
Concrete built to hold up at home and at work in Torrance, CA
Form & Finish Torrance Concrete Company builds and repairs concrete for homeowners, small businesses and property owners, and we start every job with what's underneath it, the base, the joints and where the water goes.
We find out why it cracked first
Before we quote a fix for a cracked slab or a dropped floor, we look for what caused it, like a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or a slab that slopes toward the house. That way your money goes to the real problem.
Quotes that list base, joints and hauling
Our quotes spell out what's in them, like digging out and packing the base, cutting control joints, the grooves that tell a slab where to crack, and hauling off the old concrete. Lay ours next to other bids and you'll see whether everyone priced the same job.
Started in Torrance by a crew lead who likes the tricky jobs
I spent years as another concrete contractor's right hand, running the crew and sorting out the jobs that didn't go by the book, and I started Form & Finish in Torrance in 2023. We've become known for the awkward ones, like tight access, cuts through old slabs and walls that sit right on a property line, and most of our calls come from homeowners, with some small business and property owners mixed in.
We're licensed and fully insured, and that matters because in California the state licensing board requires a licensed contractor when a project needs a building permit or the labor and materials come to $1,000 or more. Ask me where I'd spend first and it's the base, because nobody sees it on day one, but it decides whether the slab settles or cracks later. Satisfaction guaranteed, and there's more about who we are if you'd like to read it.

Concrete work for homes and businesses in Torrance, CA
Form & Finish Torrance Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Torrance, CA, offering 16 services, from new driveways and foundations to raising a dropped slab or cutting through an old one. Most calls start with cracks, a slab that's sinking or uneven, or water pooling where it shouldn't. The price mostly follows the size and thickness of the job, how much old concrete gets broken out and hauled off, how much work the ground underneath needs, how tight the access is and whether you want a plain or decorative finish. The schedule turns on any city or county steps and on curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before it takes foot traffic or a car. Your free estimate spells out what's included for your job.
Concrete driveway building
A new concrete driveway starts with digging out and packing the subgrade, what the slab sits on, so it doesn't settle with the dirt and crack under your car.

Want a place for a table and grill out back? We build concrete patios sloped away from the house, so rain runs off into the yard instead of pooling by your door.
Explore service: Concrete patio constructionStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gets a pattern pressed into the surface while it's still soft, so a patio, walkway or pool deck can look like stone or brick without laying each piece by hand.

We build front walks and side paths for homes and businesses, with a broom finish, a light swept texture, so the surface keeps its grip when it's wet.

We pour garage floors thick enough for the cars and gear parked on them, with rebar where it's called for, steel set inside the slab to hold it together.

What counts as decorative concrete? It's color, exposed stone, scored lines and custom borders on a slab you'd otherwise pour plain, for owners who want the entry or yard to look finished.
Explore service: Decorative concreteConcrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope or make room for a flat yard, with drainage behind the wall so water doesn't build up and push on it.
Explore service: Concrete retaining wallsConcrete floor installation
Shops, storage rooms and additions often need a concrete floor, so we pour interior slabs flat and level over a packed base, ready to use or to take flooring.
Explore service: Concrete floor installationConcrete pool decks
A pool deck has to drain away from the water and give bare, wet feet some grip, so we set the slope first and leave texture in the surface.

Front entry, porch or a drop in the backyard, concrete steps need the same height from one to the next, so we form each one to match before the pour.
Explore service: Concrete steps constructionSlab foundation building
A slab foundation gives a new house, addition or garage its floor and footing, usually in one pour, and it's only as good as the packed ground and steel beneath it.
Explore service: Slab foundation buildingFoundation installation
Torrance holds foundations to stricter rules because some ground here swells and shrinks with moisture, so we build footings, stem walls and slabs to your plans and any soil report.
Explore service: Foundation installationConcrete parking lot building
Small businesses and property owners call us for parking lots and aprons, poured thicker where trucks turn and sloped so water runs to the drains instead of sitting in the stalls.
Explore service: Concrete parking lot buildingConcrete footings
Footings are the wide concrete base under a wall, post, deck or addition, and we dig them to the depth and width the plans call for before the steel goes in.
Explore service: Concrete footingsFoundation raising
Floor dropped, doors sticking, a crack climbing the wall? Foundation raising lifts a settled section back toward level, once we've found what let it sink.
Explore service: Foundation raisingConcrete cutting
Need a trench through a slab for a pipe, an opening in a wall or a broken section taken out? We saw clean, straight lines so the concrete you keep stays sound.
