Home › Service Areas › Arcadia › Custom Home Concrete
Custom home builders in Arcadia need a concrete contractor who can hit tight schedules without cutting corners on engineering. We've poured foundations and flatwork for custom builds throughout Arcadia, from lots near Arcadia Proper to Camelback East.
We're a third-generation, family-owned concrete company built on the kind of work ethic you'd expect from a business run by a working firefighter — precise, dependable, and built to hold up under pressure.
Why Arcadia Homeowners Trust Cortez Concrete for Custom Home Concrete
Custom homes often sit on lots with unique grading, expansive soils, or engineered foundation requirements that a production-home slab crew isn't set up to handle. Arcadia's mature citrus-grove lots often still run flood irrigation, and a wave of teardown-rebuilds in the area is driving steady demand for new foundations and flatwork.
Here's what our process accounts for:
- Engineered foundation and footing work matched to your soils report and structural plans
- Grading and drainage planning that accounts for Arcadia's soil and monsoon runoff
- Coordination with your builder, architect, and structural engineer on scheduling and specs
- Proper vapor barriers and moisture control for interior slabs
- Full exterior flatwork package — driveway, walkways, patio, and pool decking — poured to match

Local Knowledge for Custom Home Concrete in Arcadia
Arcadia straddles the City of Phoenix, the City of Scottsdale, and pockets of unincorporated county, so the permitting path depends on your exact block — we confirm the right jurisdiction before starting.
Arcadia's mature citrus-grove lots often still run flood irrigation, and the wave of teardown-rebuilds here drives steady demand for new foundations and full-property flatwork.
That local knowledge is the difference between custom home work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Arcadia property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.
The Family Behind Every Arcadia Pour
We're not a franchise or a rotating crew of subcontractors. Cortez Concrete is a third-generation family business, run on the values our grandfather started with — show up, do it right, and stand behind it. With an active firefighter at the helm, that discipline and attention to safety shows up in every Arcadia-area project we pour across the Valley.
Hire Cortez Concrete and you're working directly with the family whose name is on the truck — not a call center, and not a crew you'll never see again.
Custom Home Concrete in Arcadia: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle the entire concrete scope for a custom build?
Yes — foundation, slab, driveway, walkways, and patio can all be scoped as one project.
Do you work on a builder's schedule or a homeowner's schedule?
Both — we regularly work as a sub for Arcadia-area builders and directly for owner-builders.
Do you work with our architect and structural engineer?
Yes, we regularly coordinate directly with the design team to make sure foundation and flatwork match the engineered plans.
How do you handle expansive or rocky soil?
We adjust base prep and, when needed, work from your geotechnical soils report to engineer the right foundation approach.
Do I need a permit for custom home work in Arcadia?
It depends on the scope, but most custom home work in Arcadia is permitted through the City of Phoenix or Scottsdale, depending on your block, and we handle the submittal and any required inspections for you. We'll confirm exactly what your project needs during your free estimate.
