Older houses and hillside lots in Loma Linda
Loma Linda is our home city, and most of our calls here come from single-family houses, many of them older, with driveways, patios and front walks that were poured a long time ago. We also hear from homes on the sloped streets toward the hills on the south side of the city, and from newer houses that need a patio or a wider driveway added. A good share of that work comes from neighbors of people we've already poured for, and we take the same kinds of jobs in nearby Redlands and Colton.
On the older properties, the slab we break out often sat on dirt that was raked flat and never packed, which is why it sank and cracked. So we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before anything new goes down, and on a sloped lot I check where the water runs first, because a slab that falls toward the house sends that water to your foundation.
What a concrete job in Loma Linda involves
Building permits here come from the city's Building and Safety Division, part of the Community Development Department, which reviews the applications and inspects the work. Whether your job needs one is the city's call, so I check with that office instead of guessing, and if it does, the review and inspections become part of your schedule and we take care of the application for you. Two things worth checking about any contractor here are a California contractor's license and a City of Loma Linda business license, which every business working in the city needs and which the city won't issue to a contractor without proof of the state license. We're licensed and fully insured.
The price moves mostly with what's under and around the slab: how much old concrete comes out, how deep we dig to reach firm ground, how big the new slab is and which finish you choose. The schedule turns on any permit review, on our calendar and on curing, the wait while fresh concrete hardens enough to take weight, and your estimate gives you your own figure. We do the same work in San Bernardino and Grand Terrace, so a slab of ours you've seen nearby was built the same way.

Concrete driveway building
Many older driveways here have sunk because nothing was packed underneath them. We dig out, pack a firm base and pour a new concrete driveway on it.
Concrete patio construction
Back patios on older houses here often tip toward the wall and hold water after a rain. We set the new slab to fall away from your house.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks get lifted and chipped, leaving edges people trip on. We replace the bad sections with a broom finish, a light texture that grips underfoot.
Concrete steps construction
Entry steps on older homes settle away from the porch and leave a gap. We form and pour new steps with even risers on solid, packed ground.
Concrete retaining walls
Sloped lots toward the hills often need a wall to hold the yard in place. We build concrete walls on footings, with a path for water to drain.
Concrete cutting
When only part of a slab has failed, cutting out that piece can save the rest. We saw clean lines so the new section meets the old concrete neatly.
How it works when you call us in Loma Linda
Call or send a request
Thank you for calling or filling out the request form, and we'll set a time for me to come see your property. Tell us what's going on, whether it's a cracked driveway or a patio you'd like added.
I visit and write the estimate
I look at the site, ask how you'll use the concrete and leave you a written estimate that spells out what the price covers. It helps if you can be there, so we can walk the area together.
We handle any permit needed
If the city requires a permit, we take care of the application and plan the work around its inspections. Building and Safety staff are at the public counter only from 8 to 10 a.m., and inspectors take calls in that same window Monday through Thursday, so we book ahead.
We pour, finish and walk through
Our crew digs out and packs the base, forms the slab, pours and finishes it, and I work on site alongside them. When it's done, I walk the finished work with you and explain how long to stay off it while it cures.
Common questions
How do I apply for a concrete permit in Loma Linda?
Loma Linda building permit applications must be submitted through the city's online permit portal. If your job needs a permit, I tell you at the estimate and we file the application for you, so you don't have to work through it yourself.
Are there city guidelines for building a patio or retaining wall in Loma Linda?
Yes, the city's permit page offers standard handouts for patios, block walls, retaining walls and garden walls. They're worth a look before you settle on a design, and I go over what bears on your project when I come out.
Does my concrete contractor need a state license to work in Loma Linda?
Yes, California licenses contractors through its state licensing board, and the city asks for proof of that license before it gives a contractor a business license. Under state rules, any city that requires a permit also requires a signed statement from a licensed contractor that the license is in full force, so that's part of the application we prepare when your job needs one.
How is the fire hazard zone set for my property in Loma Linda?
The city adopted the fire hazard zones recommended by the State Fire Marshal, which rank areas of Loma Linda as Moderate, High or Very High based on things like vegetation, slope, weather and how embers travel. If your parcel falls in more than one zone, the highest one applies to the whole parcel, and you can ask the Office of the City Clerk to see the zone map.
How much does it cost to replace a concrete driveway in Loma Linda?
The cost depends on your driveway's size, how much old concrete has to be broken out and hauled away, and how far we dig to reach firm ground, so I give you a figure only after seeing it. A stamped or colored finish, extra width or a thicker slab for heavy vehicles raise the price, while a plain broom finish and keeping your current layout hold it down.
What causes a new concrete driveway to crack?
Most early cracks come from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, from control joints cut late or skipped, or from water running under the slab. Concrete shrinks as it cures and can still crack, so control joints, grooves we cut on purpose, give it a straight line to crack along where you won't notice it. When a budget is tight, I'd rather keep the money in the base than in a fancier surface, because the base is what holds the slab up for years.
