Taft's oil-field-adjacent neighborhoods and older residential streets put real wear on concrete driveways, patios, and walkways. Bakersfield Concrete has been fixing and building concrete for Taft homeowners and property managers since 2016, and we know exactly what the local soil, heat, and ground movement do to your surfaces.

Whether you're dealing with a cracked driveway on the east side, a settling patio near downtown Taft, or planning a new garage floor, our ACI Certified team handles the job right. We serve Taft (93268) and the surrounding Bakersfield area with licensed crews who understand local permit requirements and the concrete challenges that come with this region's expansive clay soils and temperature swings.

Concrete Work in Taft (93268)

Taft's residential and commercial properties sit on ground that shifts, settles, and cracks in ways that demand solid concrete work. The expansive clay soils common across this area cause driveways and slabs to heave and sink over time. Add summer heat that can exceed 100 degrees, and you get concrete that needs proper installation, sealing, and repair to stay level and safe. We've worked on everything from vintage driveways in older neighborhoods near the downtown core to newer construction on the hillside lots that slope away from the main residential zones.

Since 2016, our team has built and repaired concrete across Bakersfield and Taft. We're licensed, insured, and ACI Certified, which means we know the right mix designs, curing procedures, and finishing techniques for local conditions. We pull permits correctly, meet city setback and width requirements, and make sure your walkways and commercial slabs pass ADA compliance checks if needed.

How a Concrete Job Works in Taft

Step 1: Call us at (661) 384-6909 or contact us online for a free on-site estimate. We'll visit your Taft property, assess the existing concrete (or the space where new concrete will go), check soil and drainage conditions, and talk through your budget and timeline. No surprises, no pressure.

Step 2: Once you approve the estimate, our licensed crew shows up on schedule with the right equipment and materials. We handle site prep, formwork, concrete placement, finishing, and all the details that matter. If your lot is tight or access is tricky (common in Taft's older neighborhoods), we plan the work to minimize disruption to your neighbors and your property. We coordinate with any HOA requirements and pull all required city permits for driveways, sidewalks, or curb cuts.

Step 3: After the concrete cures properly (we watch temperature and moisture carefully), we do a final walkthrough with you. Your property is clean, debris is hauled away, and your new or repaired concrete is ready to use. We can also seal the surface to protect it from Taft's heat and UV exposure, which extends the life of your investment significantly.

Concrete pricing in Taft depends on the scope and local conditions. A basic driveway repair runs from $3 per square foot, while a new driveway or patio starts around $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative finishes begin at $10 per square foot. Concrete sealing, which we strongly recommend for Taft's hot, dry climate, costs from $0.75 per square foot. Key cost factors include the size of the area, existing concrete condition, soil preparation needed, and whether permits or special finishes apply. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (661) 384-6909 for a free estimate. We'll walk your property, explain what we find, and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Why do driveways crack and settle so much in Taft?
Taft sits on expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. Combined with summer temperatures that regularly exceed 100 degrees, this soil movement causes concrete to heave, settle, and crack over time. Proper base preparation, the right concrete mix, and good drainage are essential to minimize cracking. If your driveway is already damaged, we can repair it with resurfacing, leveling, or full replacement depending on the damage severity.
Can you remove and replace my old concrete driveway if it's too far gone?
Yes. Concrete removal and replacement is one of our core services, starting at $7 per square foot. We saw out the old concrete, haul it away, prepare the base properly for Taft's soil conditions, pour new concrete to code, and finish it to your specifications. Call (661) 384-6909 to schedule a free estimate and we'll assess whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your driveway.
Do I need a city permit for a new driveway or patio in Taft?
Most driveway and patio work in Taft requires a municipal permit, especially if you're doing a curb cut or widening an existing driveway. Sidewalk work and any concrete near the right-of-way definitely needs permits. We handle all permitting as part of our service, so you don't have to figure out the city requirements yourself. Our team knows Taft's codes and will make sure your project is compliant.
What's the best way to protect my concrete from Taft's heat and UV?
Concrete sealing is the best defense against Taft's intense sun and temperature swings. A quality seal protects against UV fading, water infiltration, and salt damage, and it makes cleaning easier. We offer concrete sealing starting at $0.75 per square foot. We recommend sealing new concrete within a few weeks of installation, and resealing every 2 to 3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Ask us about sealing options when you call for your free estimate.
My concrete slab is uneven and creates a trip hazard. Can you fix it without replacing the whole thing?
Often, yes. We offer concrete leveling and slab lifting starting at $4 per square foot. This process uses specialized equipment to lift and level sunken concrete from below, restoring a safe walking surface without full replacement. It's faster and more affordable than removal and replacement for many situations. Call (661) 384-6909 to describe the problem and we'll let you know if leveling will work for your Taft property.
Are you fully licensed and insured for concrete work in Taft?
Absolutely. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and we're ACI Certified. Every crew member is properly trained and licensed. When you hire Bakersfield Concrete, you're working with professionals who meet all Taft and California requirements. Your property and our team are protected.
Can you do decorative or stamped concrete for a patio in Taft?
Yes. Stamped and decorative concrete is a great way to add visual interest and durability to patios, pool decks, and walkways. We offer stamped finishes starting at $10 per square foot, with a wide range of patterns and colors to match your home's style. Decorative concrete also holds up well to Taft's heat and UV exposure when sealed properly. Contact us at (661) 384-6909 to discuss design options and pricing for your patio project.
