Concrete Contractor in Riverside, CA - Driveways and Patios Built on a Solid Base
Superior Eastvale Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Eastvale, pouring driveways, patios, walkways, retaining walls and garage floors in Riverside. We dig out and pack the base, set the steel and cut the joints before anyone admires the finish.
We pour in Riverside. Mostly the part you won't see.
We're based in Eastvale and work across the cities around it, Riverside included, along with Jurupa Valley and Rancho Cucamonga. Where a driveway has sunk at one end, a patio drains toward the back door or a garage floor has pitted, the fix usually starts under the slab.
I spent years patching that kind of thing for a property management company before starting this business in 2013. Concrete cracks some, and I'd rather say so before you sign.
I look before I price. Then we plan the pour.
Before I price a job in Riverside, I want to see what the concrete has to carry, where your water goes now and what the old slab is sitting on. Size, tear-out, base work, steel and finish set the price, and a permit, if one's needed, usually sets the start date. You get it all in writing.

Bad concrete lasts for decades. So does good.
The busted slabs I used to patch mostly failed in ways you couldn't see on pour day. The base was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so it settled with the dirt. Nobody checked where water ran, so it pooled against the house. Joints got cut late or skipped, so the slab cracked wherever it liked.
So the base gets the budget first, because nobody sees it on day one and everybody sees it when it sinks. We dig out and pack it, set rebar, the steel that holds the slab together, slope it off the house and cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a place to go.

I look the site over with you and ask what the concrete has to carry and where the water ends up when it rains.

Riverside has its own rules. Here's what they mean.
The answers below cover permits, retaining walls and the city business license. If your question isn't here, call (951) 416-3327 and ask me.
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Riverside?
It might, so it's worth asking the city before anything gets poured. The City of Riverside requires building permits for most construction, and its exempt list covers finish work like painting, tiling and cabinets. When your job needs one, we pull it and set up the inspections, and if it's unclear, I ask the city first.
Does a concrete retaining wall need a permit in Riverside?
Not if it's 4 feet or less, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. The exemption ends if the wall holds back extra load, like a driveway or slope above it, or holds back flammable or combustible liquids. Past those limits, the exemption's gone and we pull the permit.
Does a contractor based outside Riverside need a city business license?
It may, even when the business is in another city. The city says a business doing business within Riverside needs a valid City Business License, and an older city finance page says businesses outside the city limits may also need one. The Business License Division answers current questions, so that's the place to check.
Who can pull a building permit in Riverside, me or my contractor?
Usually either of you. The city lets many permit types go to the property owner, the owner's authorized agent or an appropriately licensed contractor, and on our jobs we pull it. Work has to start within 12 months of issue or a residential permit goes invalid, so don't pull one for a pour you're putting off.

Call (951) 416-3327 or use the form and tell us how long it's been cracking or pooling, because that tells me a lot about what's under it.
