Why Pomona homeowners redo their concrete

Most calls start with something you can see. It might be a crack across the driveway, a patio corner that's sinking or water pooling against the house. The top usually isn't the problem. The subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the concrete settled right along with it.

The price depends mostly on work you won't see once the concrete is poured: how much old concrete comes out, how deep we dig and how much base goes back in. Size, thickness and finish come next. The schedule turns on our calendar, any city permit and curing, which is the wait before the slab can take weight. Your written estimate spells out what's included.

If the budget's tight, I'll tell you to keep the base and go simpler on top. A plain broom finish, the light texture that keeps shoes from slipping, works fine. A weak base means tearing the slab out later.

What we check on a Pomona job

The city looks after about 37,000 public trees, many of them in the strip along the street. If one stands beside your driveway apron or front walk, we plan the dig and the forms around it. If the work would touch the tree, we check with the city first, since it's the city's tree. That comes up most on concrete sidewalk building out at the curb.

Pomona has five historic districts and 27 landmarks on the city's historic properties list. If your house is on it, tell me at the estimate, and I'll check with the city before we plan anything that changes the front.

We're based in Corona and take jobs in Pomona the same way we do in Home Gardens, Chino and Chino Hills. That means the same base, drainage and joint checks on every slab. Tell us what you've got and ask for an estimate.

Pomona concrete questions

Who issues building permits in Pomona, CA?

The city's Building Safety Division issues building permits. It also reviews plans and inspects the work. If your job needs a permit, I'll go over it with you at the estimate, and we'll handle the paperwork before we start.

Do I need a permit for a new driveway or patio in Pomona?

The city's permit exemptions I know of cover short fences and walls, but they don't say whether a driveway or patio needs a permit, so we check with the city before we pour. The city's permit guidance page is a good place to start, and I'll confirm it with you at the estimate.

Does a short retaining wall need a permit in Pomona?

Under the city's code, a retaining wall doesn't need a permit if it's 2 feet or less from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. That exemption doesn't apply if the wall holds up extra weight, like a slope or a driveway behind it, or holds back certain liquids. Block walls up to 2 feet above the lowest ground beside them are exempt too, as long as nothing extra presses on them.

When can I visit Pomona Building and Safety in person?

Building and Safety takes walk-ins Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., at City Hall, 505 South Garey Avenue. City Hall is closed on Fridays. You can also call the office at 909-620-2371, though if we're doing your job, we'll handle the permit paperwork for you.

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

Concrete usually cracks somewhere, so we plan where it will. We dig out and pack the base so the slab doesn't settle, slope it away from the house and cut control joints. Those are grooves that give a crack a straight, planned place to form instead of wandering across the driveway.
