Truecast Rancho Cucamonga Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Rancho Cucamonga. We build and replace driveways, patios, walkways, steps and slabs across the city, from Alta Loma to Etiwanda, and we pour them to drain right.
Rancho Cucamonga started as three towns, Alta Loma, Etiwanda and Cucamonga, that grew into one city, and each part still has its own feel. A lot of the housing went up during the fast growth of the 1970s, when families from Los Angeles and Orange County came out looking for homes they could afford. That's why so many of the driveways, walks and patios I look at here have decades of wear on them. We get the same calls next door in Upland.
That age shows in the concrete. A slab that settled, cracked across the middle or tipped toward the house usually sat on dirt that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so on a replacement the ground work gets as much of my attention as the finish.
Most driveways we replace have settled or cracked, so we break out the old slab, pack a fresh base and pour with steel rebar to keep cracks tight.
Explore serviceYou want a patio that doesn't send water toward the back door. We set the slope first, then size the slab around how you actually use the yard.
Explore serviceStamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick. We press the pattern while the top is still soft enough to take it cleanly.
Explore serviceWalkways and side paths that have lifted into trip edges get replaced. We give them a broom finish, a light brushed texture that keeps feet from slipping.
Explore serviceA garage floor takes car weight and oil drips every day. We pour it thick enough for the load and finish it smooth so it sweeps clean.
Explore serviceColor, exposed stone, scored patterns or a sealed finish on new flatwork. We talk through how each one wears before you pick, because some need resealing.
Explore serviceWhen a yard steps down or a slope is pushing on a fence, a poured wall holds the soil back. The drainage behind it decides how long it lasts.
Explore serviceInterior slabs for additions, workshops and converted spaces. We set the base and the height so the new floor meets the old one without a lip.
Explore servicePool decks see bare feet and splash water all day. We slope them away from the pool and the house and give them a finish that grips when wet.
Explore serviceFront steps that have cracked, settled or pulled away from the porch. We form every rise the same height, because uneven steps are what people trip on.
Explore serviceA slab foundation for an addition, garage or outbuilding starts with packed ground and steel. We set the forms and rebar to the plans before the truck comes.
Explore serviceFoundations for new structures and additions, poured to the plans. I check the layout myself, because a foundation is the hardest part of a building to fix later.
Explore serviceLots for businesses and multi-unit properties that have to carry trucks and shed water. We plan thickness, joints and the drain path together, since they fail together.
Explore serviceFootings for patio covers, walls, posts and additions. We dig them to the depth the plans call for and pour them before anything goes on top.
Explore serviceIf part of a slab has sunk, lifting it can sometimes beat a full replacement. I look at why it dropped before we decide it's worth raising.
Explore serviceSaw cutting for doorways, utility trenches or taking out a damaged section. A clean cut lets the new concrete tie in without a ragged, crumbling edge.
Explore servicePermits here come from the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and applications go in online. When a job needs one, nothing gets poured until it's issued, so the permit can set your start date more than our crew does. If yours needs one, we apply with the city and keep track of it so you don't have to. Before you hire anyone for concrete, check two licenses: a state contractor license, which you can look up with the Contractors State License Board, and the city business license, which is a separate thing.
Most of the price on a job here is set by what's under and around the slab. How much old concrete we break out and haul, how much digging and packing the subgrade needs, how thick the slab is and how much steel goes in, the finish you pick and how close a truck can get all move the number. The schedule turns on the permit if there is one, the prep, and curing, the wait while fresh concrete gets strong enough to walk on and later to drive on. Your written estimate spells out what's included. We run the same crew on jobs in Fontana and Ontario, so how we work doesn't change at the city line.
Tell us what you want poured or replaced, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out to your property myself, look at the ground and where the water goes, and write you a free estimate that spells out what's included. There's no obligation and no pressure to book.
(909) 552-8210The patio cover does, because patio covers are on the city's permit list. That list doesn't settle the slab itself, so ask the city's Building & Safety office about your job before work starts. If a permit's needed, it goes into our part of the job like we said above.
Yes, anyone doing business in the city has to get a city business license before starting and renew it every year. That includes contractors based in other cities, who list the job's location and value when they apply.
Under state rules, no more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. After that, each payment has to be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered. The rule covers all home improvement jobs, so a driveway or patio falls under it.
It can, because concrete shrinks as it hardens and almost every slab cracks somewhere, so the real question is where. We cut control joints, straight grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, before it has a chance to crack on its own. With a packed base and rebar inside, a crack that shows up usually stays tight and in line instead of running across the middle.
We're based in Rancho Cucamonga and take jobs in many cities around it across the Inland Empire. These are the ones with their own page, and if yours isn't here, call and ask.
We pick up seven days a week from 8 AM to 9 PM, so you can call (909) 552-8210 after work or send the form when it suits you.
If you're not sure whether your slab needs patching or replacing, tell us what you're seeing and we'll give you a straight answer.
