Everything we take on

Every job below is one we do ourselves across San Bernardino.

Concrete Driveways

We form driveways to a minimum 4 inches thick, 5 to 6 if you park a truck or RV on it, over a compacted base that won't settle under you. Control joints get cut the same day so the slab cracks where we tell it to, not across the middle of a parking spot. Give it a full seven days before you drive on it, even though it'll be walkable in a day.

Concrete Patios

Patios get a broom or float finish and a slope built in so water runs off the deck instead of pooling by your back door. We tie new patio slabs into existing foundations with expansion joints so the two don't fight each other as the ground moves.

Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete gets you the look of flagstone, brick, or slate at a fraction of the cost, with none of the weeds coming up between joints. We lay color hardener into the surface, texture it with mats while it's still plastic, and seal it once it cures. Reseal it every two to three years and it holds its color; skip that and it fades.

Concrete Slabs & Foundations

Footings get dug to the depth your soil and local code call for, and slabs get a rebar grid instead of loose mesh wherever real weight is going on top. We run a vapor barrier under interior slabs so moisture from the ground doesn't wick up through the finished floor.

Concrete Repair

Not every crack means tear it out. Hairline cracks and small spalling can usually be patched or resurfaced, but a slab that's sunk on one corner or heaved from tree roots underneath usually needs to come out and get repoured. We'll tell you which one you've got before we quote it, not after.

Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways

Sidewalks that run along the city right-of-way usually need a permit and have to meet a slope and width the city inspects. We keep joint spacing tight on walkways so a hairline crack doesn't turn into a trip hazard.

Concrete Steps & Stairs

Steps get built to code rise and run so nobody's stumbling on an uneven third step, and we broom the tread surface so it's not slick when it's wet.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls hold back soil that wants to slide, and the ones that fail usually failed because nobody planned for water pressure building up behind them. We install drainage gravel and weep holes behind the wall and reinforce it with rebar sized to the height and load it's holding.

Concrete Resurfacing

Resurfacing puts a bonded overlay over an existing slab that's worn, faded, or lightly cracked, and it costs less than tearing it out. It won't fix a slab with deep structural cracks or one that's actively sinking, that concrete needs to come out.

Decorative & Colored Concrete

Integral color mixed into the batch holds up longer than a surface dye, and exposed aggregate finishes give you texture without stamping. We can also cut a decorative pattern or border into a plain gray slab if you want something in between.

Common Questions

Things worth asking

Questions that come up once a concrete project actually gets underway.

Do I need a permit to pour a new driveway or patio?
Most cities require a permit for a new driveway approach or any slab that changes drainage or sits in the public right-of-way, while a simple backyard patio replacement often doesn't. A concrete contractor familiar with local code should confirm what a specific city requires before work starts.
How long does a typical concrete driveway or patio take to pour?
Forming, pouring, and finishing a standard driveway or patio usually takes one to two days on site, but the concrete needs about seven days to cure enough for vehicle traffic. Walking on it sooner than 24 to 48 hours risks marking the surface.
Can concrete work be done on a tighter budget?
Cost can be adjusted by scaling back decorative finishes like stamping or color, reducing slab thickness where code allows, or reusing existing forms and grading instead of full excavation. Cutting corners on base preparation or reinforcement to save money usually costs more later in cracking and repair.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Workmanship on a concrete pour should carry a warranty covering cracking or settling that results from the work itself, separate from the normal shrinkage cracks that occur in almost all concrete as it cures. Ask any concrete contractor exactly what their warranty covers before signing a contract.
Who do I talk to once the concrete job is underway?
On most concrete jobs, one crew lead runs the site day to day and acts as the point of contact for questions, changes, or scheduling once the project starts. That's usually the same person who measured the job and gave the quote.
What materials do you use for concrete work?
Standard concrete work uses ready-mix delivered by truck, rebar or wire mesh for reinforcement depending on the load, and gravel base material compacted under the slab. Decorative jobs also use color hardener, release agent, and a penetrating sealer applied after curing.
Can I still live in my house while the concrete work is done?
Living in the house during a driveway or patio pour is normal, since the work happens outside and the concrete truck only needs access for a few hours. Parking gets affected while the driveway cures, so plan on using the street or a neighbor's spot for about a week.
How should I prepare the site before a concrete pour?
Clearing the area of vehicles, furniture, potted plants, and sprinkler heads before the crew arrives speeds up the job and avoids damage. Marking any buried irrigation lines or low-voltage wiring ahead of time helps the crew dig and grade around them safely.
What happens if you find a problem underground once digging starts?
Old irrigation lines, tree roots, or unexpectedly soft soil sometimes turn up once excavation for a slab begins, and that can change the scope and price of the job. A reputable concrete contractor should stop and discuss any change before continuing rather than billing for it afterward.
How do I take care of new concrete after it's poured?
New concrete needs about a week before regular vehicle traffic and closer to a month before it reaches full strength, so heavy loads should wait. Sealing a driveway or patio every two to three years and keeping de-icing salts off it in winter both extend how long the surface lasts.
