A Moreno Valley concrete contractor, based here
I started this business in Moreno Valley in 2017, and it's where we're based. Most calls here come from homeowners in the city's single-family neighborhoods. The usual jobs are a cracked or sunken driveway, a walkway that's started catching toes, or a bare backyard that wants a patio. Small property owners call us too when a parking area or a shop floor needs redoing. We do the same work just west in Riverside and south in Perris.
Your price moves with the size of the job, how much old concrete comes out and how much base work the ground needs. The schedule turns on whether a permit is required and on curing, the time concrete needs to harden before you put weight on it. I'll put numbers to both for your house at the estimate. On most tear-outs the old slab didn't fail by itself, because the ground under it settled or water ran toward the house, so we dig out and check the slope before we talk about finishes.
What we pour in Moreno Valley
Many driveways here are cracked or sunk where the old base settled, so we tear out, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and pour.
Backyards in Moreno Valley neighborhoods often have a small slab off the back door. We extend or replace it, sloped so water runs away from the house.
For front entries and backyard patios where you want the look of stone or brick, we press the pattern and color into the concrete before it sets.
Walkways to the front door and along side yards are small jobs, but they get the same packed base and cut joints a driveway does.
Garage floors here carry cars, workbenches and storage. When one is cracked, stained or uneven, we break it out and pour a flat slab you can sweep clean.
Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns let a plain backyard slab match the house, and we plan the design around where the joints have to go.
Where a backyard steps up or down a slope, a concrete wall holds the dirt back so you get flat ground you can actually use.
For a shop, a room addition or a commercial space in the city, we pour interior floors flat enough for whatever goes on top, from tile to equipment.
Pool decks here take bare feet and splashing, so we pick a finish with grip and slope the deck to drain away from the pool and the house.
Front stoops and back steps crack and pull away from the house as they age. We form new ones with even risers so nobody catches a toe.
For a backyard unit, a detached garage or an addition, we pour the slab the building sits on, with the steel rebar tied in first.
When a new building or a larger addition needs more than a slab, we dig and pour the full foundation and line up the inspections.
Small property owners in Moreno Valley call us for parking areas at rentals, shops and offices, where heavier traffic means a thicker slab over a deeper base.
Patio covers, block walls and posts need a footing, the buried concrete that carries the weight. We dig them to the depth the plans call for.
When a slab or part of a house has dropped, we look at why it settled first, because raising it without fixing the cause just buys time.
Adding a walkway, a drain line or a wider driveway often means cutting into existing concrete, and we saw clean edges so the new pour meets the old.
What Moreno Valley homes ask of a slab
I come out to look at every job myself and run the pours, so you deal with one person from the first visit to the cleanup. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.
Base dug out and packed
We dig out soft dirt and pack the base, because the ground under a slab, the subgrade, decides whether it sinks.
Slope away from your house
We check where water runs before we set forms, so the slab falls away from your walls, not toward them.
Joints cut on time
Control joints are grooves that tell a slab where to crack, and we cut them before it picks its own spot.
Permit paperwork handled for you
When a job needs a city permit, we file the application, line up inspections and walk you through the process.
Licensed, insured, since 2017
We've been in business since 2017, licensed and fully insured, so the crew on your property is covered.
Moreno Valley concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Moreno Valley?
Check with the city's Building and Safety Division before the pour, since it issues permits for new construction and for changes to existing structures. The city's permit FAQ says every patio cover needs a permit, and so does a wall taller than three feet from the top of its footing. When your job needs one, we handle the application and line up the inspections.
How long does permit review take in Moreno Valley?
The city says normal review is within 12 business days once every required document is in. A missing page is what usually holds things up, so we get the plans and paperwork complete before they go through the city's online portal, and we set your pour date once the permit's in hand.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Moreno Valley?
Square footage and slab thickness set most of the price, and tearing out the old driveway and rebuilding a bad base add to it. A broom finish, the light brushed texture that keeps shoes and tires from slipping, costs less than stamped or colored work, and a tight side yard the truck can't reach adds labor. I measure and look at the ground when I come out, and your number comes from that visit.
Does a concrete contractor in Moreno Valley need a California license?
Yes, when the job needs a building permit, uses any workers beyond the contractor, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials across its contracts. That's the line the California Contractors State License Board draws for anyone who builds or alters a structure in the state. Ask whoever you hire for their state license before you sign.
Does a contractor need a Moreno Valley business license to work at my house?
Yes. The city requires a business license from every business working in Moreno Valley, independent contractors included, and that covers companies based outside the city too. Licenses renew each year by January 31, so it's fair to ask whether your contractor's is current.
What causes a new concrete slab to crack, and will mine crack like the old one?
Most bad cracks come from a soft base, joints cut late or skipped, or a slab used before it finished curing. Beyond the base and the joints, we schedule the pour so the top isn't drying faster than the crew can finish it, because that's what leaves a weak, dusty surface. I won't tell you concrete can't crack, but done this way a crack usually stays in a joint, and I'll tell you how long to keep off it before you walk or park on it.
