Truecast Rancho Cucamonga Concrete is a concrete contractor pouring driveways, patios, walkways and slabs in Chino, CA. I look at every job myself, and our own crew does the work with me on site running the pour.
Our work in Chino is mostly residential, in the older neighborhoods toward the middle of town and the newer tracts spread out to the south. Many of the calls we get are about the concrete those houses came with: a driveway cracked across the middle, a patio that's dropped away from the back door, a walkway lifted at one panel. We come over from Rancho Cucamonga for these jobs, the same way we head into Ontario and Eastvale next door.
On older houses we usually find the original slab sitting on a base that was barely touched, so the real job is breaking it out and building the base back up right. Newer homes often have a backyard that's a blank slate, and there we plan where the water goes before we plan anything else.
We break out the old driveway, dig and pack a fresh base and pour a slab thick enough for the cars and trucks you actually park on it.
Explore serviceYou want a patio that sheds water, so we set the slope away from the house first, then size the slab around how you use the yard.
Explore serviceStamped concrete presses a stone, brick or wood pattern into fresh concrete, and our crew has to work fast and in step to keep the pattern lined up.
Explore serviceWe break out front walks and side-yard paths that have lifted at a panel and repour them on a packed base, with joints cut so cracks stay in line.
Explore serviceA garage floor takes oil, tire wear and heavy loads, so we pour it thick enough for what you park, with a slight fall toward the door.
Explore serviceDecorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns, and we pick the finish with you before pour day, since changing it later means breaking it out.
Explore serviceWhere a yard steps up or down, a concrete retaining wall holds the higher ground back, and the footing and drainage behind it matter more than the face.
Explore serviceWe pour interior concrete floors for additions, shops and outbuildings, set flat and smooth enough for whatever finish or flooring goes on top.
Explore serviceWet feet need grip and the water needs somewhere to go, so a pool deck gets a textured finish and a slope away from the pool and house.
Explore serviceWe form concrete steps so every rise matches, because the one step that's a little off is the one people trip on.
Explore serviceA slab foundation for an addition, garage or backyard unit is poured in one piece over a packed base, with rebar and thickened edges laid out to the plans.
Explore serviceWhen you're building new, we form and pour the foundation the plans call for, checking every line and level before the truck comes, because it can't move afterward.
Explore serviceFor businesses and multi-unit properties, we pour parking areas thick enough for the traffic they'll see, sloped to drain and jointed to keep cracking in straight lines.
Explore serviceFootings are the concrete under posts, walls and patio covers, dug to the depth and width the load needs so the structure on top doesn't sink.
Explore serviceIf a slab or foundation has dropped, we find out why it moved before we lift it, because raising it without fixing the cause only buys time.
Explore serviceWe saw-cut concrete for new doorways, plumbing runs, wider driveways and clean breakout lines, so the slab you're keeping isn't cracked by a jackhammer.
Explore serviceIn Chino, building permits come from the city's Building Division, which requires one for all work except what the state codes exempt, so if your job needs a permit, the pour waits until it's issued. When it does, we apply for it with the city and keep track of it, so you don't have to. Before you hire anyone, ask to see a California contractor license and a Chino city business license, which the city requires of anyone doing business there, out-of-town contractors included. We're based in Rancho Cucamonga, so ask us the same as you'd ask anyone else.
What moves the price is mostly what you can't see once the job's done: how much old concrete we break out and haul off, how much digging and packing the base needs, and how thick the slab is and whether it gets rebar, the steel inside that holds the pieces together if it cracks. The finish matters too, and a broom finish, the brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, runs less than stamped or colored work. If the budget's tight, cut the finish, not the base, because a plain slab on a packed base outlasts a fancy one on raked dirt. Your schedule turns on the permit if there is one, the weather and the cure, the time concrete needs to gain strength before you walk on it, and longer before you drive on it. Your written estimate lays all of that out for your job, the same way it does for the homeowners we pour for in Glendora and back home in Rancho Cucamonga.
Tell us what you want poured or replaced, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out to Chino, look at the job myself and give you a free written estimate that spells out what's included, with no obligation to book.
(909) 552-8210It can need one, and the city's guidance doesn't list concrete work as exempt. The examples in the city's permit FAQ of work that skips a permit are things like painting, wallpaper, carpet, tile and fixing a leaky faucet, and that FAQ says to call the division to find out about your project. I'll look at that for your job at the estimate, and if it needs a permit, that paperwork is ours.
The Contractors State License Board says anyone who builds or alters a structure in California needs its license if the job needs a building permit, uses any other workers, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Splitting a job into smaller contracts doesn't get around that $1,000 mark, because the board counts them together. We're licensed and fully insured, and you should ask any contractor to show you the same.
It can, because concrete shrinks as it cures, and I won't tell you a slab will never crack. What we control is where it cracks and whether it sinks, so we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, instead of raking it level. We also cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along, while it's still fresh, and we pour early on hot days for the reason above.
We're based in Rancho Cucamonga and take jobs in many cities around it across the Inland Empire. The cities below have their own pages, and if yours isn't listed, call and ask.
We pick up from 8 AM to 9 PM every day of the week, so you can call (909) 552-8210 after work or send the contact form whenever it suits you.
