Concrete Driveway, Patio and Slab Questions

A concrete contractor sets the forms, then pours and finishes the concrete. We do that work for homes only: driveways, patios, stamped concrete, slabs, walkways and foundations. Some of it happens indoors, such as the floor for a garage conversion. Commercial concrete is work for another contractor.

Our service area is centered on Homeland, with Romoland and Winchester close by. We work across western Riverside County and into San Bernardino County. That includes Menifee, Perris, Hemet, Moreno Valley, Riverside, San Bernardino, Corona, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta and Temecula. Our service areas page lists every town.

We price each job after we look at it. The size of the area drives the price, along with any old concrete that has to come out. A stamped or colored finish adds work, and so does a backyard the truck cannot reach. Your quote comes in writing before any work starts.

Homeland's flats are sandy, granite-derived soil that drains well, with rock close to the surface on the hillsides. Parts of Perris, Sun City, Menifee and Murrieta sit on expansive clay, which calls for more care under the slab. Summer is the other factor: July and August highs average in the mid to upper 90s in these valleys. In that heat, the work calls for an early start and curing that begins right after the finish.

We replace it. A badly cracked or sunken driveway comes out, and a new one is poured in its place. A replacement is also a good time to widen the driveway or add an RV pad beside it.

A state concrete association's homeowner guide says you can walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours. It says most mixes can take cars within three days, though many contractors wait a week. We tell you the day your new driveway can take a car.

Yes. We pour footings and stem walls for additions and garages, and slab foundations for ADUs and casitas. The plans come from your designer or engineer, and the work goes in under your permit. The building inspector checks the footings before the pour.

Homeland is unincorporated, so Riverside County Building and Safety is the permit office there. Its list of work exempt from permits includes driveways and walkways no more than 30 inches above grade. Additions, garages, carports and patio covers need a permit. Inside a city such as Menifee, the city's building office answers the question, and we point you there.

Yes, on your own property. We pour front walkways and side-yard paths, plus steps and a landing at the door. Public sidewalks and curb and gutter are street work for the city or another contractor, under a separate permit. Our driveway work also stops at your side of the property line.
