Cerritos is built on 1970s planned neighborhoods with solid mid-century homes, tree-lined streets, and original concrete driveways and patios that are now showing their age. Most of the housing stock here sits on relatively flat terrain with good drainage, but decades of sun, occasional settling, and the push from mature street trees have left many driveways cracked, patios uneven, and garage floors worn thin.
Long Beach Concrete serves Cerritos (90703) and the surrounding Long Beach area with concrete repair, replacement, and upgrade work that homeowners recognize as real value. We know Cerritos neighborhoods like Artesia and the planned communities near the Cerritos Library, and we understand what makes a concrete job work here: proper grading, solid reinforcement, and finishes that hold up to coastal sun and the occasional heavy winter rain.
Concrete in Cerritos (90703)
Cerritos sits on relatively stable, well-drained ground compared to some parts of Long Beach, but the flat terrain and mature landscaping create their own challenges. Street trees, especially the large ficus and coral trees common in these neighborhoods, lift sidewalk panels and driveway aprons over time. The original concrete from the 1970s was poured without today's joint placement and reinforcement standards, so cracks and spalling are common. Salt-laden air from the coast, strong UV exposure, and the occasional atmospheric river storm test every finish. What we see most often in Cerritos is settled or cracked driveways before they worsen into serious trip hazards, spalling concrete around the edges, and patios that have heaved or sunk enough to collect water.
Our team has worked throughout Cerritos and the Long Beach area for years. We know the terrain, the permit process, and what concrete methods actually hold up here. We spec reinforcement and joint placement for the real conditions, not the textbook, and we finish work with sealers that stand up to coastal UV and salt air.

How a Job Works in Cerritos
We start with a free on-site assessment. We walk your driveway, patio, or garage floor, check for settlement, heave, drainage issues, and what caused the damage in the first place. We take measurements, photos, and ask about your HOA rules if you have them. Then we give you a clear estimate with no surprises.
When we start work, we plan for the tight lot access common in Cerritos neighborhoods. Most driveways here are short and narrow, so we coordinate equipment and staging carefully. If a permit is needed (and many driveway and sidewalk jobs in Cerritos do require one), we handle the paperwork and timing with the city. We pour, finish, and cure the concrete to spec, and we manage drainage and grade so water runs away from your foundation and neighbor's property line.
On the final day, we clean up all debris, haul away old concrete if we removed it, and walk you through the finished work. Your property is left clean and ready to use.
Most Cerritos homeowners call us for one of a few jobs: a cracked or settled driveway, a patio that needs resurfacing or replacement, or a garage floor that's spalling and slippery. A typical driveway replacement in Cerritos runs from $6 per square foot, a patio or sidewalk from $6 per square foot, and concrete repair or resurfacing from $3 per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete for a patio upgrade starts at $10 per square foot and can transform a 1970s backyard. Concrete sealing, which we recommend for newer work or to protect older concrete from coastal salt air, runs from $0.75 per square foot. The real cost drivers are size, access, how deep we have to dig out old concrete, and how quickly you need the work done. Call us at (562) 568-7845 for a free estimate on your specific job. We'll give you honest pricing and explain what's driving the cost.
