Concrete you can walk, drive and build on in Rialto, CA
Classic Rialto Concrete Company builds concrete for homes, rentals and businesses, and we start every job underneath it, digging out and packing the ground so the slab has something solid to sit on.
We build driveways, patios, foundations and other concrete work for homeowners, property owners and businesses across Rialto, laid out to drain right and finished clean.
Rialto is a city of homes and small businesses, and the concrete here takes everyday wear from cars, trash cans and kids on bikes. What we see most are driveways that have sunk or cracked across, patios that hold water against the house and walks lifted at the joints, along with shops and rental properties that need parking and sound slabs. The city's Building Department issues the permits for building and repair work here, so it's the office we deal with when a Rialto job needs one.
People here know Frisbie Park for its ball fields and skatepark, Rialto City Park for its picnic areas and outdoor stage, and the Rialto Historical Museum for its twelve rooms on the people and industries that shaped the city. We're based in Rialto too, so the driveways and backyards we're called to across the city are close to home for our crew.

Questions answered first
I come out myself and answer every question, even the same one twice, before you decide anything. Someone who knows what's coming has fewer surprises on pour day.
Drainage and joints planned
Before forms go up, we check where water will run and plan the control joints, grooves that give the slab a chosen place to crack. Water heads away from your house, not toward it.
What to expect after
We tell you plainly what happens after the pour, from small cracks to when you can walk and drive on it. That way nothing about your new concrete catches you off guard.
Concrete contractor services in Rialto, CA
Classic Rialto Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Rialto, CA, offering 16 services, from driveways and patios to foundations, footings and cutting. Most calls start with something you can see, like a slab that's sinking, cracks that keep growing or water pooling by the house. The price moves with the size of the job, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish, since stamped or colored work takes more labor than a broom finish, the light texture that keeps a slab from getting slick. The schedule turns on whether a permit is needed, the weather and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before you use it. Your written estimate gives your own figure and spells out what's included.
Concrete driveway building
We build concrete driveways on a dug-out, packed base, set to slope so rain runs toward the street instead of back toward your garage.
Concrete patio construction
Want a backyard slab for a table and grill? We pour concrete patios for homes and rentals, laid out so water drains away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterns and colored to look like stone, brick or tile, for patios, walks and pool areas where plain gray feels too bare.
Concrete sidewalk building
A walk that's lifted or cracked across can trip someone. We tear out the bad sections and pour new walkways and sidewalks that sit flat and drain.
Garage floor concrete
Is your garage floor cracked, stained or sinking at one end? We break out the old slab and pour a new one built for cars, tools and storage.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete means color, stains and scored patterns that let a slab suit your house, for owners who want more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope or raised yard, set on a footing with drainage behind so water doesn't build up against them.
Concrete floor installation
Need a concrete floor inside a shop, addition or outbuilding? We pour interior floors level and finished smooth, ready for whatever goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
We pour concrete pool decks around new and existing pools, with a finish that grips wet feet and a slope that carries splash water toward the drains.
Concrete steps construction
Crumbling or uneven front steps are easy to trip on. We form and pour new concrete steps so each one is the same height as the last.
Slab foundation building
We build slab foundations for additions, garages and backyard units, with the ground beneath dug out, packed and checked before any concrete goes in.
Foundation installation
For a new home addition or building, we install the full foundation, poured to the approved plans so the structure above sits level and square.
Concrete parking lot building
Own a business or rental property that needs parking? We build concrete parking lots that carry daily traffic and send water away from doors and walkways.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete bases under walls, posts and patio covers. We dig them and set steel rebar inside so the concrete holds together under load.
Foundation raising
Doors sticking, or a floor that slopes toward one corner? Foundation raising lifts a settled foundation back toward level and gives it firmer support underneath.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete for doorways, plumbing trenches and slab removal, leaving clean, straight edges instead of a jagged break, for homeowners and other trades.

Driveways, patios, walks and steps
Common questions about concrete in RialtoAnswered before you decide.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Rialto, CA?
It depends on your driveway, so I give you a figure only after I've seen it and measured. The biggest pieces are the square footage, tearing out and hauling off the old slab, and how much digging and packing the ground needs. Thickness, steel rebar to hold the slab together and how close the truck can get all play a part too.
Does stamped concrete cost more than a plain concrete patio?
Yes, stamped concrete usually costs more than a plain broom-finished slab, because the color, the pattern mats and the extra hands on pour day all add up. It also needs sealing now and then to hold its color. If the budget's tight, I'd keep the money in the base and pick a simpler finish, because a finish can be changed later and a bad base can't be fixed without tearing the slab out.
How long will I be without my driveway or patio?
That depends on the permit, the weather and how long the concrete has to cure, and I'll go over the timing with you before we start. In Rialto, the city says a patio permit can often be reviewed and issued within 10 business days, Monday to Thursday. Other permits get a tentative 20 business days of plan review, then a tentative 10 more to become a permit.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in California?
Usually, yes, because the state requires a contractor license whenever a project needs a building permit, uses employee labor or has contracts totaling $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The Contractors State License Board issues those licenses, and Rialto also requires contractors who bid or work in the city to hold a city business license. We're licensed and fully insured.
What do I need to do before my concrete is poured?
Mostly clear the way, by moving cars, furniture and planters out of the work area and leaving a path for the concrete truck. Keep sprinklers, kids and pets off the new concrete until I tell you it's ready. I'll go over anything specific to your job when we set the pour date.
Do you guarantee your concrete work in Rialto?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Your written estimate spells out what's included before we start, so we both know exactly what the job covers.
Will my new concrete crack like my old one did?
Concrete can still get small cracks, but the bad cracking we usually tear out comes from a base that was raked flat instead of packed, joints cut late or skipped, or a pour in midday heat. We dig out and pack the ground first, cut the control joints in time and plan the pour so the top doesn't dry too fast and turn weak and dusty.
Do I need a permit for a concrete patio in Rialto?
Patios are on the list of work the city's Building Department issues permits for, along with retaining walls, masonry walls and pools. When your job needs a permit, we pull it and work with the city through the inspections. If we're not sure which office covers your address, we find out before we bid.
