Serving Buena Park, CA and surrounding areas. (657) 385-0040
Buena Park Concrete provides concrete contractor services in Pomona, CA - including footing work, driveway replacement, patio construction, and sidewalk repair - with a licensed crew that understands the city's mid-century housing stock, the inland heat and Santa Ana wind conditions that stress concrete year-round, and the City of Pomona permit process. We reply within one business day and provide free written estimates.
Pomona homeowners adding ADUs, detached garages, covered patios, or other structures need properly engineered concrete footings before a single wall goes up. The expansive clay soils found throughout many of Pomona's older residential neighborhoods require footings dug deeper than the code minimum to provide stable bearing on undisturbed soil. We size and reinforce footings to the City of Pomona's requirements and handle the permit and required inspections. See our concrete footings page for the full scope.
Many driveways in Pomona were poured when the homes were built in the 1940s through 1960s, and 60-plus years of summer heat above 100 degrees and seasonal clay soil movement have cracked and settled them beyond what patching can fix. We remove the old concrete, compact the sub-base to the depth Pomona's soils require, and pour a reinforced replacement with control joints and drainage slope built in from the start.
Pomona summers run hot and long, which means backyard patios get heavy use from spring through fall. An uneven or cracked slab limits that outdoor space and creates a trip hazard when you are entertaining or moving around the yard. We pour patio slabs with control joints spaced for seasonal soil movement, proper slope away from the structure, and a finish suited to Pomona's UV and heat exposure.
Pomona's older residential streets have mature trees whose roots lift sidewalk panels over time, and in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, some original concrete is approaching 80 to 100 years old. Lifted panels are a trip hazard and the city may require homeowners to repair sections at the front of their property. We replace damaged panels and pour new sections to current city grade, handling the permit when the work is in the public right-of-way.
New construction, ADUs, and accessory structures in Pomona require a permitted concrete slab foundation before framing can begin. Pomona's clay soils call for careful base preparation and rebar layout to prevent differential settlement after the pour. We design the slab for the soil conditions at the specific site, pull the City of Pomona permit, and coordinate the required inspections at base preparation, rebar, and post-pour stages.
Pomona sits at the eastern end of Los Angeles County where the San Gabriel Valley meets the Inland Empire, and its climate is significantly hotter and drier than coastal LA County cities. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit and frequently push past 100 degrees during heat waves. That heat affects concrete in two ways: it accelerates the cure, which can cause surface cracking if proper curing practices are not followed, and it dries out surface sealers faster, reducing the protection they provide. A concrete contractor working in Pomona through the summer needs to plan pours for early morning, use appropriate admixtures for hot-weather conditions, and wet-cure the slab for the first several days after the pour.
Pomona's housing stock adds another layer of complexity. A large share of the city's single-family homes were built between 1940 and 1970, which means original flatwork - driveways, patios, walkways, and even garage floors - is now 55 to 85 years old. That concrete has been through decades of hot-dry summer cycles and seasonal clay soil movement, and much of it was poured without the base depth or control joint spacing that current practice calls for. Santa Ana wind events in fall and early winter add a seasonal stress that is unique to inland communities - gusts above 50 mph dry out fresh concrete and push debris into freshly finished surfaces if a pour is scheduled during a wind advisory. A contractor who knows Pomona's conditions adjusts the project calendar accordingly.
Concrete permits in Pomona are processed through the City of Pomona Building and Safety Office. Our crew is familiar with Pomona's permit requirements for residential flatwork, slab foundations, footings, and retaining walls. For structural work like footings and slabs supporting new structures, Pomona requires a permitted plan set and inspections at key stages - we handle all of that as part of the project and keep you informed on the timeline.
The residential streets we work on most in Pomona run through neighborhoods west of the 71 freeway and south of the 10 - areas like the blocks near Garey Avenue, Holt Avenue, and Foothill Boulevard that make up the older established core of the city. Lincoln Park, Pomona's best-known historic neighborhood, is east of downtown and has some of the city's oldest homes - Victorian and Craftsman structures from the late 1800s and early 1900s that sit alongside mid-century construction on the same blocks. The Fairplex on White Avenue is a useful reference point for the western part of the city, and Cal Poly Pomona's campus on the eastern edge marks the boundary with the Inland Empire.
We also serve Torrance to the southwest and Downey to the west. If you are in either of those cities, we are familiar with the permit offices and local soil conditions your project would involve.
Reach us at (657) 385-0040 or through the estimate form online. We reply within one business day and schedule a site visit at a time that works for you - you do not need to take time off work for an initial call.
We visit the property, assess the condition of the existing concrete and sub-base, and give you a written estimate that separates demolition, base preparation, the pour, permit fees, and any finishing costs. No charge for the estimate, and no pressure to commit. For footing work, we also assess the soil conditions at the dig location and size accordingly.
For work that requires a City of Pomona permit, we pull it before starting. This protects you from unpermitted work that can create problems at resale or during a refinance inspection. Active demolition and pour work takes one to two days on most residential projects once the permit is in hand and the schedule is confirmed.
After the pour, we walk you through the cure timeline - in Pomona's summer heat, keeping the surface moist for the first several days is especially important to prevent surface cracking. Concrete is ready for foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours and vehicle use after seven days. Full strength is reached at 28 days.
We serve Pomona homeowners from Lincoln Park to the neighborhoods near Cal Poly. No pressure, no obligation - just a clear written estimate and a reply within one business day.
(657) 385-0040Pomona is a city of more than 150,000 residents at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, bordered by Ontario, Chino, Diamond Bar, and Claremont. The city covers about 23 square miles and is connected to the greater LA region by the 10, 60, and 71 freeways. Pomona's residential neighborhoods span the full range of Southern California housing history - the Lincoln Park neighborhood near downtown has Victorian and Craftsman homes from the 1890s through 1920s, while the city's western and southern neighborhoods are made up primarily of mid-century ranch-style homes from the 1940s through 1960s. Most lots are modest, typically 5,000 to 7,000 square feet, with stucco exteriors and attached or detached garages that are a common focus for concrete work.
Pomona's economic anchors include Cal Poly Pomona on the eastern edge of the city and the Fairplex on White Avenue, home of the Los Angeles County Fair each September. The city has a mix of owner-occupied and renter-occupied households, with owner-occupancy running around 47 to 50 percent. Homeowners here have invested in their properties and are generally looking for durable repairs rather than quick fixes. Nearby service areas where we also work include Torrance to the southwest and Norwalk to the west in southeastern LA County.
