San Jacinto concrete work, old neighborhoods and new
San Jacinto is one of the oldest communities in Riverside County, and we see both ends of that on our jobs here. Near the older part of town, some driveways have been poured, patched and poured again over the years. Farther out are newer tract homes where the builder left a plain slab out front and dirt out back. We drive over from Beaumont for most of it, and the work looks a lot like what we do next door in Hemet.
Most of what we pour here is flatwork, the driveways, patios and walks that sit right on the ground, and the house usually sets the job. On an older place we're often breaking out a tired slab before we pour, and on a newer lot the bigger question is where the water goes once the yard is covered.
Concrete work we do for San Jacinto homes and businesses
Concrete driveway building
When an older San Jacinto driveway has sunk at the garage lip or cracked into pieces, we break it out, rebuild the base and pour a new one.
See the service Concrete driveway buildingConcrete patio construction
Plenty of newer homes here came with a small slab out back or none at all, so we pour patios sized for how you actually use the yard.
See the service Concrete patio constructionStamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or front walk the look of stone or brick, a good fit for older houses where plain gray looks out of place.
See the service Stamped concrete servicesConcrete sidewalk building
We replace front walks lifted by roots or broken into trip edges, and pour side-yard paths so you're not tracking mud to the trash cans.

If your garage floor is pitted, cracked or sloping the wrong way, we tear it out and pour a new one that drains toward the door.

Color, exposed stone or a scored border can give a plain tract-home driveway some character, and we'll show you samples before you pick.

Where a yard steps up or down toward a neighbor, a concrete retaining wall holds the dirt back so a patio or driveway beside it stays put.

For a workshop, a converted garage or a small commercial space, we pour interior floors flat and smooth enough for whatever goes on top.

Around a backyard pool we pour decks with a finish that grips wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the house.

Older porches and back doors here often have crumbling or uneven steps, and we rebuild them with every step the same height so nobody catches a toe.

When you're adding a garage, a workshop or a room onto a San Jacinto house, we pour the slab it sits on, level and ready for framing.

For new structures on open lots, we dig, form and pour the full foundation, so the walls start on something square and solid.

When a small business lot in San Jacinto has broken up or holds puddles after every rain, we rebuild it to carry daily traffic and shed water.

Patio covers, block walls and posts need footings, the concrete underneath that carries the weight, and we dig and pour them to the depth the plans call for.
See the service Concrete footingsFoundation raising
If one corner of an older house or slab has dropped and doors are sticking, we look at why it settled before we talk about lifting it.
See the service Foundation raisingConcrete cutting
We saw-cut clean openings for a new drain line, a wider driveway entrance or a doorway, so the concrete you keep doesn't get cracked by a jackhammer.

Permits, licenses and pricing for San Jacinto jobs
When a concrete job in San Jacinto needs a permit, it goes through the city's Building & Safety Division, which processes permit applications and inspects construction in the city, so the pour day has to fit around their inspection as well as our calendar. If yours needs one, we handle the application and the paperwork and tell you at the estimate, so it's part of the plan from the start. The other thing worth checking is the contractor, because the state licensing board licenses anyone who builds or alters a structure in California, and we're licensed and insured.
Price here mostly turns on three things: how much old concrete comes out, how much digging and packing the ground needs, and the size and finish of the new slab. Access counts too, because a truck that can back right up to the forms saves the crew from wheeling every load across the yard. The schedule turns on the permit when there is one and on how much tear-out comes first, and your written estimate spells out what's included so you can see where the money goes. We figure jobs the same way whether they're here, in Beaumont or out in Yucaipa.
Why San Jacinto driveways and patios wear out
A lot of older driveways here were poured thin, with little or no rebar, the steel set inside a slab to hold it together if it cracks, on dirt that was only raked flat. After enough years the slab sinks at the garage, breaks into plates and trips people at the seams. Patching only buys time, because the real problem is the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on. We break it out, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and pour with steel, so the new driveway has something solid under it.
On newer homes the trouble is usually water, because a patio or side-yard slab added after move-in gets poured flat or tipped toward the house, and then it pools against the stucco every time the sprinklers run. Before we set a single form, we check where the water goes and slope the slab to send it away.
How a concrete job in San Jacinto runs with us
Here's how a San Jacinto job goes with us, from the first call to the final walk-through, so you know who's coming out and when you'll see a number.
Call or send the form
Call (951) 524-1433 or send the form with a line about the job, like a sunken driveway or a bare backyard. We'll get back to you and pick a time for me to come out.
Walk the job together
I come out myself, look at the old slab, the dirt and where the water runs, and ask a lot of questions, so it helps if you're home. You get a written estimate that lists what's included, so there's no guessing what you're paying for.
Permit, prep and the pour
If the job needs a permit, we take care of the paperwork first and set the pour day once the city's inspection is lined up. Our own crew digs out and packs the base, sets the forms and steel and pours, and I'm on site for the big days.
Walk the finished slab
Before we pack up, we walk the finished job with you and go over curing, the wait while the concrete gets hard enough for feet and then for cars. Bring any last questions, because that walk-through is the time to ask them.
Questions about concrete work in San Jacinto
How do I apply for a concrete permit in San Jacinto?
Permit applications in San Jacinto go through the city's San Jacinto Connect Online portal, where you apply, pay, print the permit, schedule inspections and upload documents. The city's Building & Safety page is the place to start if you want to look things over yourself. When your job needs a permit, we file it for you and tell you up front so it's on the schedule from day one.
Does a concrete contractor in San Jacinto need a California license?
Yes, whenever the job needs a building permit, uses any hired workers, or adds up to $1,000 or more in labor and materials across one or more contracts. The state licensing board only lets someone work without a license when none of that applies and they don't advertise as licensed, and a bigger job can't be split into smaller contracts to get under that line. Contractors are supposed to be licensed before they even bid, so it's fair to ask anyone who gives you a price.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in San Jacinto?
A driveway's cost here comes down to its size, how much old concrete we break out and haul off, and how much work the ground needs before we pour. Steel and the finish move it too, since a broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives tires and shoes some grip, costs less than stamped or colored concrete. I'll give you your own figure on site, written out with what's included.
What causes a concrete driveway to crack or sink?
Most cracked and sunken driveways we tear out failed from underneath, because the dirt was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so it settled and the slab went with it. Water running under the edges and joints cut late or skipped make it worse. Concrete shrinks as it dries, so we cut control joints, straight grooves that give the slab a place to crack where you won't notice it, before it can pick its own spot.
What is the best way to keep a new concrete patio from sinking?
Put the money into the base, because a slab is only as steady as what it sits on. That means digging out to firm ground, packing a proper base and sloping the patio so water runs away from the house. If the budget's tight, I'd keep the base and go with a plainer finish, since nobody sees the base on day one but you'll see what happens without it in a few years.
Will a Beaumont concrete contractor come out to San Jacinto for a small job?
Yes, we take small jobs in San Jacinto, like a walkway, a set of steps or a pad for the trash cans, and I still come out myself to look at it. A small pour needs the same dug-out base and joints as a big driveway, so we don't skip steps just because the job is little.
