Serving Whittier, CA and surrounding areas. (562) 358-3090
Whittier Concrete Company delivers concrete contractor services in Inglewood, CA, including parking lot construction, driveway replacement, patios, and sidewalk work. We work on both single-family homes and multi-family properties throughout the city, and every job is permitted and built to handle the clay soils and aging housing stock that define Inglewood. Free written estimates with no obligation.
Inglewood has a large share of multi-family properties and small commercial buildings, many with aging asphalt parking areas that have cracked and settled over decades of LA heat and clay soil movement. Our concrete parking lot building service removes old pavement, prepares a compacted gravel base, and pours a reinforced concrete surface built to handle real vehicle loads and the wet-dry soil cycle.
Most single-family homes in Inglewood have narrow concrete driveways on small lots, many original to the 1940s and 1950s construction. Thin slabs on uncompacted clay crack and heave over time - especially after the winter rainy season. A properly poured replacement, with adequate base prep and reinforcement, is built to outlast the original by decades.
With home values rising across Inglewood since the Hollywood Park development opened, more owners are investing in their properties. A concrete patio is one of the most cost-effective outdoor improvements for Inglewood bungalows and ranch homes, adding usable space to small backyards that see warm weather most of the year.
Inglewood sidewalks on older residential streets have dealt with decades of clay soil movement and tree root pressure. Lifted or cracked sidewalk sections create trip hazards and can expose property owners to liability when they border the public right-of-way. New sidewalk work brings surfaces back to a safe, level grade.
Inglewood homes sit on concrete slab foundations, and the expansive clay beneath them is the same soil that cracks driveways and walkways. When a slab foundation shifts or cracks, it affects flooring, plumbing, and structural elements throughout the home. Foundation slab work here requires a contractor who understands how local soil behaves through the rainy season.
Most homes in Inglewood were built between 1940 and 1965. That generation of construction used thinner concrete slabs with minimal reinforcement and very little base preparation - standards that were adequate at the time but that did not account for the long-term behavior of the clay-heavy Los Angeles basin soil. Inglewood sits on that same expansive clay, which swells with every winter rainstorm and contracts during the dry season. The movement is gradual, but over sixty years it cracks and shifts concrete in ways that cannot be fixed by patching. The original surface has to come out, the soil has to be properly prepared, and a new reinforced slab has to go in.
Inglewood also has a large share of multi-family residential and small commercial properties, which means the concrete work here is not just driveways and patios. Shared parking areas, common walkways, and building aprons all take more wear than a single-family driveway, and they need to be built to handle it. The city is in a period of real investment - the development around SoFi Stadium and the Hollywood Park project has pushed property values up sharply. Concrete in poor condition on an Inglewood property stands out more than it used to, and fixing it is worth doing right.
We pull permits through the City of Inglewood Building and Safety Division for every Inglewood project that requires one. Inglewood reviews driveway, parking lot, and structural concrete permits through that office, and we know what the city requires in its submittals. Pulling permits correctly the first time avoids delays and protects property owners if questions arise later.
Inglewood is a compact city just southwest of downtown Los Angeles, close to LAX. The residential streets in Morningside Park in the northeast part of the city have wider lots and better-maintained homes than some of the denser corridors near Century Boulevard. The mix of single-family bungalows, multi-family buildings, and commercial properties means no two jobs look the same, even on the same block. We plan equipment access carefully on every job, especially on narrow lots with limited street clearance.
We also serve property owners in Torrance to the south and Compton to the southeast. Both cities share Inglewood's postwar housing stock and clay-soil conditions, so the approach to base prep and reinforcement is consistent across all three.
We respond within 1 business day and schedule a free on-site visit. We do not quote prices over the phone - the condition of existing concrete, lot access, and soil prep needed in Inglewood vary too much for a phone number to be reliable.
We visit the property, measure the work area, check drainage and soil conditions, and provide a written quote. The quote covers everything - demolition, base prep, reinforcement, the pour, finishing, and permit fees. No lowball figure with costs added later.
We handle all permit applications with the City of Inglewood. Permit approval typically takes a few business days. Once the permit is in hand, we schedule your project and confirm the start date.
The crew handles demolition, base prep, the pour, and the finish - usually one to two days of active work. After the required curing period, the city inspector signs off and we walk you through the finished job.
We respond within 1 business day - no obligation, no pressure. After you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site visit at your Inglewood property. You will have a written quote before any work begins.

Inglewood is a mid-size city in western Los Angeles County with roughly 109,000 residents packed into just under 11 square miles. It sits directly southwest of downtown LA and adjacent to LAX. The city is almost entirely built out, with a dense mix of single-family homes, multi-family buildings, and commercial properties. The opening of SoFi Stadium in 2020 and the broader Hollywood Park development have made Inglewood one of the faster-moving real estate markets in the LA area, with property values rising sharply in many neighborhoods.
The housing stock is dominated by postwar bungalows and small ranch homes built between 1940 and 1965. The Morningside Park neighborhood in the northeast has some of the city's larger and better-kept single-family homes, with wider streets and more tree cover than other parts of the city. The Kia Forum on Manchester Boulevard - a venue Inglewood residents have known for decades - remains one of the most familiar landmarks in the area. Nearby cities we also serve include Torrance to the south and Compton to the southeast, both with similar postwar housing and concrete needs.
