About Victorville, CA

Victorville is a big, spread-out city, and our jobs here run from older houses near the original downtown to newer tract neighborhoods with block walls, two- and three-car garages and side yards wide enough for a trailer. A lot of homes still have the first driveway and back slab the builder poured, and by now plenty of them have a sunken corner or a crack running across. Shops and offices add small parking areas and walkways to the mix. The calls look a lot like what we get in Hesperia and Adelanto.

Most of those lots sit on sandy desert dirt that's easy to dig and easy to leave loose, so every job here starts with the subgrade, the dirt the slab actually sits on.

Services in Victorville, CA

  • Concrete driveway building

    Lots here often have room for a trailer, boat or RV, and that weight cracks a thin slab. We pour a new driveway sized and reinforced for what you'll park on it.

  • Concrete patio construction

    Plenty of Victorville backyards came with a small slab out the back door that's too tight for a table and a grill. We pour patios sized for how you use the yard.

  • Concrete pool decks

    Pool decks here sit in hard sun all summer, and a smooth trowel finish turns slick the moment it's wet. We give decks a textured finish so wet feet have some grip.

  • Garage floor concrete

    Garage floors here take oil drips, dropped tools and desert dust blown in under the door. We pour a dense, smooth-troweled floor that sweeps clean, with a slight slope toward the door.

  • Concrete retaining walls

    Lots that step down toward a wash or a neighbor's yard can lose dirt when a hard rain comes through. We build concrete retaining walls on solid footings with drainage behind them.

  • Concrete cutting

    When only one section of an older slab here has sunk or cracked, tearing out the whole thing wastes money. We saw-cut along a clean line, remove just that piece and pour it back.

Working in Victorville: permits, licenses and what sets your price

Here the city's Building Division issues building permits, and it's the office to call at (760) 955-5100 about work its permit list doesn't name. If your job needs a permit, I'll tell you at the estimate and we handle the application ourselves, and because the pour can't go on the calendar until the permit's issued, that's usually what moves the start date. When it isn't clear, we call the city and ask before we start. Two things you can check on any contractor are a current California contractor license and a Victorville business license, which the city requires of anyone doing business inside city limits, even companies based somewhere else. We're licensed and insured.

What moves your price is the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete we break out and haul off, how much work the ground needs and the finish, from a plain broom finish, a lightly brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip, up to stamped. Access counts too, because a back yard behind a block wall or a house set far back from the street can mean pumping or wheeling the concrete in. The schedule turns on the weather and on curing, the days the slab needs to harden before it takes your weight and then your car's, and you get your own figure on the written estimate. We do the same work across the High Desert, Apple Valley included.

Victorville, CA properties and local conditions

Summer heat is the first thing a Victorville slab has to get through. Over the long run the city averages about 23 days a year at 100 degrees or hotter, and concrete poured into midday heat dries too fast on top, which leaves a weak, dusty surface that chips. On hot stretches we pour early, keep the surface damp while it cures, and cut the control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack as it shrinks, as soon as it'll take the saw.

Water is the other one. Rain doesn't come often here, but a summer storm can dump a lot at once, and a slab that tips toward the house sends it to your foundation or leaves it pooling by the garage. We check where the water runs on your lot before the forms go in and slope the slab away from the house.

What happens after you call us in Victorville

  1. Call or send the form

    You call (760) 493-6027 or send the form with a few lines about the job, and we set a time for me to come out. Photos help but aren't needed, and you don't have to know the thickness or finish yet.

  2. I come out and look

    I look at the dirt, the slope and where the water runs, ask what you need the slab to do, and give you a written estimate. It spells out what's in the price, so you can compare it line for line with anyone else's.

  3. We prep, pour and finish

    Once you say go, we set the date, and I'm on site with our crew to dig out, pack the base, pour and finish, starting early on hot days within the city's construction hours of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. You don't need to be home for most of it, though if a permitted job needs the inspector inside your house or garage, an adult 18 or older has to be there.

  4. Walk the finished job together

    When we're done, I walk the job with you and tell you how long to keep feet, then tires, off it while it cures. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

What concrete projects need a building permit in Victorville?

The city's permit list names several projects that usually involve concrete, including swimming pools or spas 18 inches deep or deeper, storage sheds over 120 square feet, guest houses and garage conversions. If your slab is going under one of those, it's part of a permitted project. The city says the list isn't complete, so for work it doesn't name, the Building Division makes the call.

Who handles a driveway approach or curb cut in Victorville?

The city's Engineering Division handles curb cutting and driveway approaches, the part where your driveway meets the street, not the Building Division. If you're widening a driveway or adding a second entrance, that's the office involved, and we check with it before we cut anything.

How long does a building permit last in Victorville?

A Victorville building permit is good for 365 days from the day it's issued. The Building Official can grant one extension of up to 180 days, and if a permit expires you may have to start the process over and pay all the fees again, so it pays to book the work once the permit's in hand.

When does a concrete contractor need a California license?

A contractor needs a current license from the Contractors State License Board for any job that needs a building permit, uses employees, or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined. The board says a bigger job can't be split into smaller contracts to get under that line, so ask for the license number and look it up before you sign.

How do I keep a new concrete driveway from cracking in Victorville?

Most of it comes down to the base, because a slab on dug-out, packed ground has far less reason to crack than one laid on raked dirt. Concrete still shrinks, so we cut the joints on time and add rebar, steel inside the slab that holds the pieces tight if a crack forms. Winter counts too, since the city averages about 40 days a year below 33 degrees, mostly in December and January, so we watch the forecast before a cold-season pour.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Victorville?

A Victorville driveway's price is set mostly by its size and thickness, the tear-out of what's there now, the base work and the finish. A wider pad for an RV, a stamped finish or a pump because the truck can't reach raise it, while a plain broom finish on a simple shape keeps it down. If you need to trim the budget, trim the finish and not the base, because nobody sees the base on day one but it decides whether the slab stays flat.
