Concrete work we do in Moreno Valley
Most of our Moreno Valley calls are for driveways, backyard patios and front walks on tract homes, plus the steps, garage floors and small walls that come with them.
A backyard slab for a table or a grill, given a broom finish, a light brushed texture for grip, and sloped so water runs away from the house.
Concrete pressed with patterns and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, for patios and walkways where you want more than a plain gray slab.
Front walks, side-yard paths and walkways to the gate, poured with control joints, shallow cuts that give cracks a straight place to go.
A new or replacement garage slab poured flat and smooth, with a slight slope toward the door so water and oil drips don't sit under the car.
Color, exposed aggregate that shows the stone in the mix, and other finishes for entries and patios when plain gray doesn't suit the house.
Poured walls that hold back a sloped yard or a raised planter, set on a proper footing with rebar, the steel that keeps the wall in one piece.
Interior slabs for additions, workshops and outbuildings, placed level and troweled smooth so they're ready for flooring or for use as bare concrete.
The slab around a backyard pool, finished with a texture that grips wet feet and sloped to carry splash water away from the pool and house.
Front porch steps and backyard steps formed with even risers, so every step is the same height and nobody catches a toe on the odd one.
The slab a garage, an addition or an outbuilding sits on, poured to the plans with the base, steel and thickness the drawings call for.
Footings, stem walls and slabs for new structures on home and small business lots, built to the approved plans with the inspector's visit in mind.
Concrete lots and drive aisles for small businesses and apartment properties, graded so rain leaves the lot instead of pooling in the parking spaces.
The concrete pads and trenches under walls, posts, patio covers and additions, dug and poured so the weight above has solid ground beneath it.
For a slab or footing that has dropped, we look at the cause and raise what can be raised, or tell you when a specialist should take it.
Saw cutting to take out a broken section, open a slab for a plumber, or make a clean edge where a driveway is being widened.
Why Moreno Valley homeowners have us pour their concrete
Moreno Valley is a short drive east of our base, and most of what we pour there is flatwork, the driveways, patios, walkways and garage floors that lie flat on the ground. Much of the city is tract neighborhoods with two-car driveways, front walks and a backyard slab, the same kind of houses we work on in Riverside and Corona, so our crew knows how they're laid out before we arrive.
What moves the price here is the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, the finish you pick and how hard the spot is to reach. The schedule turns on whether the city needs a permit for your project and on curing, the days a new slab needs before it can take weight, and your written estimate spells out what's included. Because tract lots put the driveway and patio right up against the house and garage, the slope away from those walls matters on these jobs as much as the surface does.

How we handle a Moreno Valley job
Estimate written on site
I come out, look at the slab and where your water goes, and write the estimate myself, with what's included spelled out so nothing is a surprise.
Permits settled up front
We look at your job with the city's building office in mind and agree with you before we start on who applies for anything the city requires.
Drainage checked first
Before we set forms, we check where water runs across your lot, so the new slab slopes away from your house and garage instead of toward them.
Owner there on pour day
Our lead finisher runs the crew, I'm there on pour day, and we pour early to stay out of the midday heat that leaves a weak, dusty top.
- A reply within one business day
- Written estimate with everything included listed
- Base dug out and packed, not raked
- Slope checked so water leaves the house
- Control joints cut on time
- Rebar where the slab calls for it
- Forms checked before the concrete arrives
- Fresh slab protected while it cures
- Site cleaned and old concrete hauled off
In Moreno Valley, as anywhere, the part of the job you'll never see is what decides whether your new slab cracks like the old one did.

Moreno Valley concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Moreno Valley?
The city's permit FAQ says every patio cover needs a permit, but it doesn't settle whether a plain slab does, so check with the city's Building and Safety Division, which issues permits, before work starts. We agree with you up front on who applies for anything the city requires, and when we're the ones applying, we bring our license paperwork to the counter.
How long does permit review take in Moreno Valley?
The city says normal permit review is finished within 12 business days once every required document is in. Every permit type is submitted through the city's SimpliCITY portal, and anything sent in now has to meet the current building codes, so a complete, up-to-date set of papers is what keeps your project moving.
Does a concrete contractor need a state license in California?
Yes, when the job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials, which covers nearly every driveway or patio. That's the rule from the Contractors State License Board, which licenses anyone who builds or alters a structure in California. We're licensed and fully insured.
How much can a contractor ask for as a down payment in California?
On a home improvement project, the Contractors State License Board says a contractor can't ask for or accept more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less. It's a state rule worth knowing before you sign for any work on your house.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Moreno Valley?
The price comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, the base work the job needs, how easy it is to get concrete to the spot, and the finish you pick. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete. If the budget is tight, I'd rather trim the finish than the base, because the base is what keeps the slab from settling. I'll come out and give you a free written estimate.
How long does a new concrete driveway take to cure before I can drive on it?
Usually you can walk on it after a day or two and drive on it after about a week, though the exact wait depends on the mix and the conditions on pour day. Curing is the slow hardening that gives the slab its strength, and loading it early is a common reason a new driveway cracks, so please plan to park on the street until we say it's ready.
What causes a concrete driveway to crack and sink?
Most cracking and sinking starts under the slab, not on top. A base that was only raked level settles with the dirt, water running toward the slab works under it, and joints cut late or skipped let cracks pick their own path. We dig out and pack the base, check the slope and cut control joints on time so your new slab holds up.
