Truecast Rancho Cucamonga Concrete is a concrete contractor working in Upland, CA. We build and replace driveways, patios, walkways, steps and slabs, and I look at every job here myself before our crew pours.
Upland runs from older homes in the established neighborhoods around downtown to newer houses on bigger lots up toward the foothills, with small commercial properties along the main roads. On the older streets we see original driveways and front walks that have cracked, sunk at the edges or been pushed up by tree roots. On the newer lots we see patios and side yards where the water has nowhere good to go. We're based next door in Rancho Cucamonga, so Upland is close-in work for us.
The ground here slopes toward the mountains, so on most Upland jobs the first question is where the water goes once the slab is in. On the older houses, the next question is whether the old base can stay or has to come out with the concrete.
A new concrete driveway starts with breaking out the old slab and packing the subgrade, the dirt it sits on, so the new one doesn't settle with it.
Explore serviceWant more room to sit out back? We lay out a concrete patio around where your roof water lands, so the slab falls away from the house.
Explore serviceStamped concrete gets its pattern pressed in while the slab is still soft, so the timing on pour day matters more than it does on a plain slab.
Explore serviceA concrete sidewalk replaces a front walk that's lifted or cracked, and we fix whatever pushed the old one up so the new walk sits flush.
Explore serviceA garage floor carries cars and stored weight, so we size the thickness and the rebar, the steel inside that holds cracks tight, for the load.
Explore serviceIf you want color or texture without a stamp pattern, decorative concrete covers stains, exposed aggregate and borders that dress up a plain slab.
Explore serviceOn a lot that steps down, a concrete retaining wall holds the grade back, and the footing and the drainage behind it decide whether it stays straight.
Explore serviceConcrete floor installation covers interior slabs for additions, workshops and outbuildings, where a level surface and a vapor barrier underneath matter most.
Explore serviceA concrete pool deck needs a finish that isn't slick when wet and a slope that sends splash water away from the pool and the house.
Explore serviceWe form concrete steps with even risers, because the one step that's a little taller than the rest is the one people trip on.
Explore serviceA slab foundation for an addition or a detached garage goes on a dug and packed base with thickened edges, built to the plans you have.
Explore serviceFor foundation installation, the plans and the soil set the depth and the steel, and I check both before we dig.
Explore serviceProperty owners call us for concrete parking lot work, and the plan turns on traffic, drainage and keeping part of the lot open while we pour.
Explore serviceConcrete footings carry posts, walls and patio covers, so we dig them to the depth the plans call for and clean out the bottom before the pour.
Explore serviceWhen a slab has sunk, foundation raising lifts it back toward level, after we find the water or soil problem that let it drop.
Explore serviceConcrete cutting opens a slab for a plumbing line, a doorway or a section we're replacing, with clean saw lines so the patch looks right.
Explore serviceUpland's Building and Safety Division issues building permits, and it takes permit requests online only. The application asks for the contractor's license and a current Upland business license, which the city requires of every state-licensed contractor working here, so ask anyone you're considering to show you both. If your job needs a permit, we apply for it with the city and keep track of it, and the pour date waits until it's issued.
Price comes down to the size of the job, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs, the thickness and steel, the finish you pick and how close the truck can get. The schedule turns on the permit if there is one and on the curing time before you can use the slab. Your written estimate spells out what's included, and jobs here get the same crew and the same base work as jobs down the road in Ontario.
Tell us about the driveway, patio or slab you have in mind and we'll reply within one business day. I come out to your property to look at it myself and write you a free estimate on site, with no obligation to book.
(909) 552-8210Check with the city before you count on skipping one, because its list doesn't settle it for driveways or patios. The work it names as needing no building permit includes fences 6 feet or under and block walls 2 feet or under, and you can find that list on the city's building permit page. Tell me what you're planning and we'll sort it out before anything gets poured.
It does if your house is a designated historic resource and the work changes how the outside looks. In that case the city's Planning Division has to approve the design with a Certificate of Appropriateness. Upland has nine local historic districts, so if you live on one of the older streets, check your property's status first.
It can, because concrete shrinks as it hardens and any slab can crack, but a well-built one cracks less and in places you won't mind. We dig out and pack the base, add rebar and cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a planned line to crack along, while the concrete is still fresh.
Usually you can walk on it after a day or two and drive on it after about a week. Curing, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, keeps going well past that, so we'll tell you when your slab is ready for cars.
We're based in Rancho Cucamonga and take jobs in many cities across the Inland Empire. These are the ones with their own page, and if your city isn't listed, call and ask.
Our hours run 8 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, so you can call (909) 552-8210 or send the form after work or on a weekend.
If you're weighing a new driveway or patio in Upland, send us a few details and we'll talk it through.
