Truecast Rancho Cucamonga Concrete pours driveways, patios, slabs, walls and foundations for homes and properties in Ontario, CA. I look at every job myself, and our own crew does the work from breakout to cleanup.
Ontario is a real mix. Older neighborhoods near the middle of the city have original driveways and walks that have cracked, lifted or sunk over the years. Newer tract homes often come with a basic slab and a bare backyard, and there's plenty of commercial and industrial property with parking and loading areas. Most calls from Ontario are about driveways, patios and slabs, much like the calls we get from Upland and Chino next door.
On the older lots, the job usually starts with breaking out the old concrete and seeing what it sat on, because a thin, raked-out base is often why it failed. On the newer lots, we're usually adding to what's there, so we match the new slab's height and slope to the old one and keep water running away from the house.
We break out the old driveway, dig to firm ground and pack a base, then pour with the slope running water to the street, not the garage.
Explore serviceWant room for a table and chairs out back? We set the patio's size and slope so water runs out to the yard and away from the house.
Explore serviceStamped concrete gets its stone or brick pattern pressed in while the slab is still soft, so we pick the pattern, color and timing before the truck comes.
Explore serviceWe pour walks along the house or out to the street on a packed base, with control joints cut in so any crack follows a line we picked.
Explore serviceA garage floor has to carry a car and drain toward the door, so we check the slope and thickness before we replace a cracked or sunken one.
Explore serviceIf plain gray isn't what you want, decorative work adds color, exposed stone or a scored pattern, and we match the finish to how you'll use the space.
Explore serviceRetaining walls hold back a slope or a raised yard, and the footing, the steel and the drainage behind the wall decide how well one holds.
Explore serviceWe pour interior floors for additions, shops and workspaces, flat and level so the tile, wood or sealed concrete that goes on top sits right.
Explore serviceA pool deck gets wet, bare feet every day, so we pick a finish with grip and slope the deck to shed water away from the pool.
Explore serviceFor front or back steps, we form even rises so nobody catches a toe, and we tie the steps into the walk or porch so they're less likely to pull away.
Explore serviceSlab foundations for a garage, addition or accessory building go on a dug-out, packed subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, because that's what keeps it from settling.
Explore serviceWhen a structure needs a full foundation, we lay out footings and walls to the plans, set the steel and pour so the building sits square and level.
Explore serviceFor commercial and multifamily lots around Ontario, we pour parking areas thick enough for the traffic they'll carry, with drainage planned so water doesn't sit.
Explore serviceFootings are the concrete under walls, posts and patio covers. We size them for the load and pour on firm ground, because a footing on loose fill moves.
Explore serviceIf a slab has sunk or tipped, we find out why before we lift it, because raising it without fixing the cause usually means it drops again.
Explore serviceNeed a trench for a line, an opening or a damaged section taken out? We saw-cut concrete clean and straight, so the edge left behind is ready for new work.
Explore serviceIn Ontario, permits come from the city's Building Department, which reviews plans and inspects the work, so on a job that needs a permit, that review decides the earliest day we can pour. Before you hire anyone, check that they hold a current state contractor's license and a City of Ontario business license, which the city requires from contractors based outside Ontario as well as inside it.
If your job needs a permit, we apply for it with the city and keep track of it, so you don't have to. We're a concrete contractor based in Rancho Cucamonga, and I come out to look at Ontario jobs myself, the same as I do in Fontana and the other cities around us. The price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, whether old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off, how much base work the ground needs, how easy it is to get a truck close, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the permit review if there is one, the breakout, and curing, the days new concrete needs to gain strength before you use it. Your estimate gives you your own figure in writing, with what's included spelled out.
Tell us about the driveway, patio or slab you're thinking about, or call (909) 552-8210. We reply to every call and message within one business day to set a time, and I come out to your Ontario property, look at the job and write up the estimate. It's free, and there's no pressure to book.
(909) 552-8210Yes, if the job needs a building permit, uses hired workers, or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined, and that covers nearly any driveway. California's Contractors State License Board only exempts work with no permit, no employee labor and under $1,000 in total, and it doesn't allow a bigger job to be split into smaller contracts to get under that line. We're licensed and fully insured.
No more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, under the state board's rules for home improvement work. Any other payments should be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered, so if someone wants a big check before anything happens, that's your sign to keep looking.
It can, because concrete shrinks as it cures and most slabs crack somewhere, but you can control where and how badly. Old driveways usually crack badly because the base was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or because the control joints, grooves cut to give the slab a place to crack, went in late or not at all. We pack the base, set the slope and cut the joints on time.
Save on the finish, not the base. A plain broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives your shoes and tires grip, costs less than stamping or color and can be dressed up later, while a weak base can't be fixed without breaking the concrete out. Nobody sees the base on day one, which is why it's the first thing people want to cut and the last thing I'll cut.
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, because concrete keeps gaining strength for days after the pour, and a car on a fresh slab can crack it. Curing time depends on the mix and the conditions on pour day, so I give you the walk and drive dates when we pour, and you'll want to park somewhere else until then.
We're a concrete contractor based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and we take jobs in many cities around it across the Inland Empire. These are the cities with their own page. If yours isn't listed, call and ask.
Base, slope and joints all get decided before the pour, and changing them afterward means breaking concrete out, so call (909) 552-8210 or send the form and we'll go over it with you.
