In 1976, Tom Nevares got his start in the concrete business, working first as a laborer and eventually getting involved with  many phases of both residential and commercial concrete work throughout the San Diego area. In the late ’70’s he went to work for R.E. Hazard Contracting and L.R. Hubbard Construction, and was exposed to many aspects of highway, bridge and prison work. Super-structure concrete has been his forte since the beginning of his career in the San Diego concrete industry.  Later in Tom’s career, he ran concrete jobs for several different San Diego contractors in foreman and superintendent capacities. During this time, he took preparation courses for the California State surveyors license, as well as educating himself in drafting and blueprint reading.

Tom got his first sole proprietorship license in 1992 to establish his own San Diego concrete business, and incorporated in 1999. Today, Nevares Concrete specializes in all phases of the concrete business, including concrete and masonry, as well as decorative concrete.

Stamped Concrete Wall and Floor

Custom stamped concrete can be used in many San Diego residential and commercial applications. Outdoors, stamped concrete enhances the look of driveways, patios, pool decks and walkways. And insides, basement floors can take on the natural appearance of slate, cobblestone or fieldstone. Custom stamped concrete can be more durable than conventional concrete, and fills the same construction needs as regular concrete.

Stamped concrete is several times stronger than brick pavers and other paving systems. Stamped concrete is non-porous when finished – making it water-proof and stain and weather resistant.

Problems commonly encountered with hand-laid products are avoided with custom stamped concrete. Vegetation will not grow between individual bricks, and it won’t shift due to frost or other climate or earth moving situations.
