Getting concrete right in Corona starts underneath

Most calls start with something you can see, like a driveway cracked across the middle, a patio sinking at one corner or water pooling against the house. The surface is rarely the real problem. It's usually a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled with the dirt.

So I plan from the ground up. On a new concrete driveway or patio, we dig out and pack down the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, before a form goes in. If the budget has to give, I'd cut the fancy finish before I'd cut the base.

Price moves with the size of the job, how much digging and base it needs, and the finish you pick. A plain broom finish, the brushed texture that keeps it from getting slick, costs less than stamped work. The schedule turns on any permit and on curing, the wait while the concrete hardens before you can drive on it. Your written estimate spells out what's included.

I walk the job with you
I come out myself, look at what's there and tell you what I'd do and why. Then you get a written estimate that spells out what's included.
We pour, I stay on site
Once you say go, we set the schedule and handle any permit. The city schedules inspections Monday through Thursday, so we plan around that, and I'm on site throughout.

What we check before a Corona pour

On the walk, I look at what decides how the job goes. I check which way your yard falls and where the downspouts dump, because a slab that tips toward the house sends water right where you don't want it. I also check whether the old concrete has to be broken out and hauled, and how we'll get concrete to a backyard patio.

Some Corona properties fall under the city's construction standards for fire hazard severity zones. I check whether those apply to your property and your job, so it's settled before the forms go in.

We do the same work across the cities around Corona, including Jurupa Valley, Norco and Eastvale, and plenty more nearby. Call (951) 393-1209 or send the form to ask for an estimate.

Why Corona homeowners call Keystone

I'd rather make a clear call up front than leave you guessing. If your old slab can stay, I'll say so. If the base under it is the real problem, I'll show you where before we talk about a new pour.

We're based here in Corona, and our own crew does the forming, pouring and finishing, with me on site until it's done. That keeps the base work honest, because it's the part nobody sees once the concrete is down. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Call (951) 393-1209 to get started.

Questions Corona homeowners ask

Which office handles building permits for concrete work in Corona?

The City of Corona's Planning & Development department handles building permits, and its permit line is 951-736-2250. Whether your job needs one depends on what we're building, so I'll go over it with you at the estimate. If it does, we handle the paperwork with the city before work starts.

When does a concrete contractor in California need a state license?

A contractor needs a license from the Contractors State License Board when the job needs a building permit, uses any hired workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The small-job exemption went up from $500 to $1,000, but it only covers work with no permit and no hired help. We're fully licensed and insured.

Does a concrete contractor based outside Corona need a city business license?

Yes. The City of Corona requires a business license for every business working in the city, wherever its main office is, and it's renewed every year. A business with gross receipts under $5,000 skips the payment but still has to register with the city and show proof it's exempt.

Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?

It shouldn't crack the way the old one did if the base and joints are done right, though no concrete is completely crack-free. The wide, uneven cracks we tear out usually come from a base that settled or joints cut late or skipped, so we dig out and pack the base and cut the joints on time.
