Licensed Concrete Contractors in Salinas & Monterey County: the CSLB C-8 Roster

Searching for the "best concrete contractors in Salinas" mostly turns up directory pages built from reviews and paid placement. This page is built from the one source that can't be bought: the Contractors State License Board's public license database. Below is every C-8 Concrete Contractor licensee with a Salinas address of record as of September 19, 2026, with the license number beside each name so you can look it up in two minutes. Where we've read a contractor's own website or a public document, we say what it says. We don't rate, rank, or endorse anyone — Salinas Concrete Works is a matching service, and the decision is yours.

How this list was built (and what it isn't)

• Source: CSLB's license search, filtered to City = Salinas and Classification = C-8, captured September 19, 2026.
• Order: as returned by CSLB. Not ranked.
• What "listed" means: a C-8 license existed under that business name with a Salinas address on that date. It does not mean the license is active today, that the bond and workers' comp are current, or that the work is good. Check the record on the day you hire.
• What's not here: licensed contractors based in Monterey, Seaside, Marina, or elsewhere in the county who also serve Salinas — the same search works for any city — and any unlicensed operator, however well they rank on Google.
• No reviews, no ratings. We don't repeat review-site scores, and we don't invent our own.

The roster: 18 licensed C-8 contractors based in Salinas

Addresses of record are shown at city and ZIP level only, as CSLB lists them. One entry's ZIP as listed by CSLB appeared to be a data-entry variant and is omitted rather than corrected here.

What we could verify from primary sources

For most of the 18, the CSLB record is the only primary source we've read — many small concrete contractors have no website, which says nothing about their work. For the following, we read the contractor's own site or a public document directly:

• Alfredo's Concrete 1 Inc (CSLB #1028329) — Named as the concrete contractor on a Gonzales Unified School District walkway project document (public board record), indicating public-works flatwork experience.
• J C Concrete LLC (CSLB #1068648) — Company website (read September 2026) lists driveway installation and replacement, sidewalks and ADA ramps, stamped and stained concrete, repair and resurfacing, and commercial flatwork; states a 2020 founding and a Salinas / Monterey County service area. The site describes the company as licensed and insured but did not display its CSLB number at the time we checked — verify 1068648 on cslb.ca.gov yourself.

If you're a contractor on this list and want your entry to say more, it needs to come from something we can read and cite — your own site, your CSLB record, or a public document. We don't add self-reported claims.

How to turn this list into a hire

• 1. Verify the license today

  Status Active, classification C-8, bond on file, workers' comp or exemption, complaint disclosure clean. Two minutes each on cslb.ca.gov — see the walkthrough.

• 2. Ask for local addresses

  Concrete is visible from the street. Two or three jobs in Salinas, Monterey, Seaside, or Marina you can drive past beats any review.

• 3. Get a written spec

  Slab thickness, base depth, reinforcement, finish, joint layout, sealer, who pulls the permit, and a payment schedule with a deposit inside the $1,000-or-10% cap.

• 4. Compare against published ranges

  Plain driveways $8–$15 per sq ft, patios $7–$12 per sq ft, stamped $12–$20 per sq ft as of September 2026. Far below is as much a flag as far above.
