BGC Construction pours concrete slabs for homes in Homeland and across the Inland Empire. A concrete slab is the flat floor under a garage, a shed, a carport or a new room. We pour new slabs and replace old ones that have cracked or sunk. Inside work counts too, like the floor for a garage conversion or an infill slab.
Slabs and pads are concrete flatwork, one part of our work as a concrete contractor in Homeland. When you compare concrete slab contractors, ask each one for a written quote. We look at the job and put the quote in writing. Call or text (951) 483-4138 and tell us what the slab needs to hold.

A garage slab carries a car or a truck every day. It needs firm, compacted ground and a solid base under the concrete. Around Homeland, the flat ground is mostly sandy soil from weathered granite that drains well. Parts of Perris, Sun City, Menifee and Murrieta sit on expansive clay, where that ground prep matters even more.
When an old garage floor has deep cracks or sunken sections, we replace it. We break out the old floor and pour a new slab in its place.
An RV pad or a carport pad carries far more weight than a walkway. An RV pad beside the drive can go in with a new concrete driveway. By Riverside County's inspection guide, an AC pad sits level and stands at least 3 inches above the ground. A spa pad belongs with a concrete patio project.
A shed or a workshop needs a flat, square slab to sit on. In Homeland, a detached one-story shed up to 120 square feet with no utilities needs no permit under county rules. A bigger building, or one with power, needs a permit first. Setbacks from county planning apply to a shed of any size.
An ADU is a second, smaller home on the same lot. It goes through a building permit with plans, the same as a casita or a room addition. For these, Riverside County asks for a foundation plan that shows the slab and the concrete footings. Before the pour, the inspector checks the compacted fill and the steel.
A slab under living space, like an ADU or a garage conversion floor, calls for a vapor barrier. That is a sheet under the concrete that slows ground moisture on its way up to the flooring. Riverside County plan rules call for a gravel or sand base and a vapor barrier under that slab. Outdoor pads generally go without one, by the ready-mixed concrete industry's guidance.
In the valleys around Homeland, July and August highs average in the mid to upper 90s. Most nearby valley weather stations log about six weeks a year at 100 degrees or more. Days of 90 degrees or more run from about May to October.
By the ready-mixed concrete industry's guidance, heat with low humidity and strong sun pulls water out of fresh concrete. The slab sets faster, and the surface can crack before it hardens. A hot day followed by a cool night can crack a slab too.
The same guidance calls for an early start on a summer pour, before the hottest part of the day. On hot, dry days it also calls for dampening the ground and the forms first. Curing starts as soon as the finishing ends and runs 3 to 7 days. Concrete left to dry out can lose as much as half of its potential strength.

(951) 483-4138From the first call or text to the finished work, here is how it goes.
Call or text (951) 483-4138. Tell us what you want poured and the town the house is in, and text photos if you have them.
We come out and measure the area. We also check the slope of the ground and how the ready-mix truck will reach the pour.
The quote lists the work and the price. Once you say yes, we set a date for the job.
California law requires whoever digs to contact DigAlert at least two working days before the dig. On a replacement, the old slab comes out first. Then the ground is graded and the forms go in.
The ready-mix truck arrives, and we pour and finish the concrete. We clean up when the work is done. Then we tell you when you can walk on the new concrete and when you can drive on it.
