Concrete contractor in Bloomington, CA - solid slabs for estate lots and tract homes
Precision Fontana Concrete Company is a Fontana-based concrete contractor pouring driveways, patios, walkways and foundations in Bloomington, CA, from long drives on rural estate lots to back patios in newer subdivisions.
Concrete work around Bloomington's homes and lots
Bloomington is the largest and most developed unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, so the county runs things here, not a city hall. The houses are a real mix. You've got rural estate homes on big lots, newer single-family subdivisions, a handful of apartment buildings and several mobile home parks. We come over from Fontana for these jobs, the same way we head out to Rialto and Colton.
That mix changes the job and the price. On an estate property the driveway can run a long way back from the road, so the size of the slab, how thick it has to be for trucks, how much dirt we dig out and haul, and whether old concrete comes out first move the price the most, and a stamped or colored finish adds to it. In a subdivision the yard is tighter, and getting equipment through a side gate is what slows us down. Your schedule turns mostly on the prep and on curing, the days a new slab needs to harden before it takes weight, and the written estimate lays out what's included.
What we pour for Bloomington properties
Concrete driveway building
Estate lots here often have long driveways that see trucks and trailers, so we dig out and pack the base the full length instead of raking it level.
Concrete patio construction
Back patios in Bloomington's newer subdivisions usually sit close to the house, so we set the slope to carry water away from the foundation, not toward it.
Stamped concrete services
On estate homes with a big front entry, stamped concrete gives you the look of stone or brick, pressed into the wet slab over a base we've packed.
Concrete sidewalk building
On big lots a walkway to the shed or back gate can run long, so we cut control joints, planned grooves that give cracks a place to go.
Garage floor concrete
Where the garage doubles as a shop, a cracked or chipping floor gets in the way, so we break it out, rework the base and repour.
Decorative concrete
Color, stains and scored patterns let a plain slab match the house, which matters in subdivisions where front yards sit side by side on the street.
Concrete retaining walls
When a yard steps down, a concrete wall holds the dirt back, and we plan drainage behind it so water doesn't build up and push.
Concrete floor installation
Shops and outbuildings on larger lots need floors that carry real weight, so we pour them with rebar, steel bars that hold a cracked slab together.
Concrete pool decks
Backyard pool decks stay wet under bare feet, so we use a broom finish, light brushed lines that grip, and slope the deck to drain.
Concrete steps construction
Entry steps that rock, chip or pull away from the porch are easy to trip on, so we rebuild them with every step the same height.
Slab foundation building
Adding a garage or a back unit on a bigger lot starts with a slab foundation, and the dig and the base decide how it holds up.
Foundation installation
For a new home or addition, we set forms, place steel and pour the foundation to the drawings, so the framing crew starts on something square and level.
Concrete parking lot building
Shops and the few apartment buildings in Bloomington need parking that takes daily traffic, so we pour it thicker where trucks turn and plan the drainage.
Concrete footings
Block walls along property lines, patio covers and posts sit on footings, concrete pads underground that carry the weight, dug as deep as the plans call for.
Foundation raising
When part of a house has dropped and doors start sticking, we find out why it settled first, since lifting it without fixing the cause won't last.
Concrete cutting
Need a trench through a slab for a new line, or a clean edge before a patch? We saw-cut it straight so the concrete around it isn't broken up.
What signs mean your Bloomington concrete needs a look?
Bloomington's mix of long estate driveways, subdivision patios and older slabs means problems show up in different places, but most of them show on the surface first.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- One slab sinking below the next
- Water pooling against the house
- Chipping or a dusty, flaking top
- Gaps opening at the garage edge
- Steps pulling away from the porch
If you spot one of these, call or send the form and I'll come out to look and tell you what's causing it.
Should you repair your slab or replace it?
On a Bloomington job, I start by finding out why the concrete failed, because a hairline crack is a surface problem while a slab sinking with its base is a different job.
When a repair will do
If the slab is still level and the cracks are thin, sealing them and patching the chipped spots can keep it working a good while. When one section has dropped but the rest is solid, we can cut it out and replace just that piece.
When it's time to replace
When slabs are sinking in several places, water runs toward the house, or the cracks keep widening, the trouble is usually underneath. Patching the top won't fix that, so we tear it out, dig down to the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, and pack a new base.
What Bloomington's lots ask of new concrete
I come out to every Bloomington job myself to give the estimate, then I work the pour with our crew, so the person who explained the job is on site when it's built.
Licensed in California, fully insured
The state requires a license when a job needs a permit or totals $1,000 or more, and we're licensed and fully insured.
County permits pulled by us
Bloomington's permits come from the county's Building and Safety office, and when your job needs one we pull it under our license.
Base work before the finish
The base is buried the day we pour, so it's the easiest corner to cut, and it's the one we won't.
Water checked before forms go up
We walk the lot to see where rain runs, so your new slab sheds water away from the house and garage.
Pours and joints timed right
We pour in the cooler morning and cut joints on time, so the top stays hard and cracks follow lines we picked.
