Serving Orange, CA and surrounding areas. (657) 333-3989
Orange Concrete Company is the concrete contractor Pomona, CA homeowners call for foundation installation, concrete driveway replacement, and slab work. We have served Pomona since 2022, hold a current California contractor license, and manage all City of Pomona permit applications on every project we take on.
A large share of Pomona homes were built in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s on foundation systems that are now 60 to 80 years old, many of which were poured before today's seismic reinforcement and soil-prep standards existed. Whether you are replacing an aging slab, building an ADU, or adding a room, the foundation needs to be engineered for Pomona's expansive clay soil and California's earthquake requirements. See our full foundation installation service page for details on permitting, reinforcement, and what to expect from the City of Pomona inspection process.
Many of Pomona's mid-century homes still have their original concrete driveways, now 50 to 70 years old and showing it. Clay soil movement from wet winters and dry summers, combined with summer heat that can push past 105 degrees, widen cracks every season. We replace full driveways with properly prepared bases so the new slab has stable ground under it, not just fresh concrete poured over the same conditions that broke the old one.
Pomona has seen an increase in ADU construction and garage conversions, and each new structure needs a slab that is designed for the specific lot conditions, not copied from a coastal project. We prepare the ground, install proper reinforcement, and pour slabs for new structures alongside existing homes, with the City of Pomona permits handled from application through final inspection.
Pomona's modest lot sizes leave most backyards small, which means the patio is the main outdoor living space. Original patio slabs from the 1950s and 1960s have typically cracked and shifted from decades of soil movement. We pour replacement patios graded to drain away from the structure, so heavy rain does not pool against the foundation or create a hazard along the house edge.
Pomona's Lincoln Park neighborhood has homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, and older homes throughout the city regularly need new concrete footings when adding a room, replacing a deck, or reinforcing an aging structure. Footings poured on Pomona's clay soil need to go deep enough to reach stable ground below the expansive layer, a detail that matters especially in the wetter west side of the city.
Established streets near downtown Pomona and in neighborhoods like Westmont have sidewalk panels that have been pushed up or cracked by tree roots and soil movement over decades. In California, the adjacent property owner carries liability for tripping hazards on public sidewalks, so lifted or broken panels are a practical concern, not just an eyesore. We replace panels and coordinate with the city on any connection to the public right of way.
Pomona is one of the larger cities in the San Gabriel Valley, covering about 23 square miles with more than 150,000 residents. A significant portion of its housing was built before 1980, with a concentration of homes from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Those mid-century ranch-style homes and bungalows were built quickly and to standards that are now 60 to 80 years out of date. Original concrete driveways, patios, and slab foundations from that era have been through decades of hot summers, occasional winter frost, and the seasonal expansion and contraction of the clay soil underneath them.
Pomona's summer heat is a real factor. The city sits inland, away from the coast, and regularly sees temperatures above 95 degrees Fahrenheit with heat waves pushing past 105 degrees. That combination of UV exposure and surface heat accelerates sealant breakdown, dries out fresh concrete too quickly when pours are not properly timed and managed, and stresses the surface of existing flatwork over time. A contractor who normally works in cooler coastal areas will notice the difference immediately when they hit Pomona in July.
California's seismic requirements add another layer specific to this region. Pomona is in a high seismic hazard zone, and any foundation work must include reinforcement designed to let the structure move with the ground during a quake rather than crack under it. These requirements are confirmed by the city inspector before the pour, which means the permit process is not a bureaucratic formality, it is an independent verification that the work was done correctly.
Orange Concrete Company has been pulling permits from the City of Pomona Building and Safety Division on residential concrete projects since 2022. Foundation and slab work in Pomona requires permits with inspection holds before and after the pour, and our team handles the application, submits any required documentation, and schedules the city inspections so the approval process does not sit on the homeowner's plate.
We work throughout Pomona, from the historic Victorian and Craftsman homes in the Lincoln Park neighborhood near downtown to the postwar ranch streets closer to Cal Poly Pomona on the eastern edge of the city, and out toward the neighborhoods around the Fairplex near the 10 freeway. The city is bordered by Ontario to the east, Claremont to the north, and Diamond Bar to the south, and the mix of housing ages and lot sizes across those areas means no two jobs look exactly the same.
We also serve neighboring Ontario to the east and Fullerton to the west. Crews who work regularly across the eastern San Gabriel Valley and the Inland Empire understand that clay soil conditions and inland heat in these cities call for different base preparation and pour timing than coastal jobs.
Call or submit our contact form and we reply within 1 business day to set up a free on-site estimate. We do not quote foundation or slab work over the phone without seeing the site, because Pomona soil conditions and lot access vary enough across neighborhoods that an honest number requires a look at the actual property.
We assess the soil conditions, evaluate the existing grade and drainage, and confirm whether the project needs engineering review. For foundation work, the written quote breaks out excavation, base preparation, steel reinforcement, concrete, and permit costs separately, so pricing is transparent before any work begins.
We file the City of Pomona permit, prepare the site, compact the base, set the rebar, and schedule the city inspection before the pour. In Pomona's summer heat, we schedule pours for early morning and manage surface moisture during curing so the concrete does not lose strength by drying out too fast on top.
After the concrete cures, we pass the city's final inspection and walk you through the finished work. You receive the completed permit card, which goes into your home records as proof the work was built to code and independently verified.
We serve all of Pomona, from Lincoln Park near downtown to the neighborhoods around Cal Poly and the Fairplex. Call today or fill out our form for a free, no-obligation estimate.
(657) 333-3989Pomona sits at the eastern end of Los Angeles County, right where the San Gabriel Valley meets the Inland Empire, with the 10, 60, and 71 freeways all running through or near the city. It is one of the larger cities in the valley, with more than 150,000 residents and about 23 square miles of land. The city has a varied housing stock that ranges from Victorian and Craftsman homes in the historic Lincoln Park neighborhood, some dating to the late 1800s, to postwar ranch homes and mid-century bungalows across the broader city, to newer infill construction near the commercial corridors.
Cal Poly Pomona anchors the eastern edge of the city and is one of the largest universities in the Cal State system, with over 27,000 students. The surrounding residential streets east of campus are a mix of owner-occupied homes and rental properties. On the other side of the city, the Fairplex, home of the Los Angeles County Fair, is a landmark most residents recognize, and the neighborhoods nearby run toward older single-family homes on modest lots. The Lincoln Park historic district near downtown is one of the most intact concentrations of pre-1920 residential architecture in the Inland Valley, and homes there require contractors who understand older materials and historic preservation guidelines. Nearby Ontario is just across the county line to the east, and we work regularly in both cities.
About half of Pomona households are owner-occupied, and the homeownership rate of roughly 47 to 50 percent is lower than the national average, which means the owners who are here tend to be invested in the long-term condition of their properties. Median home values have climbed well above $500,000 in recent years, so a properly permitted and inspected concrete project is also a direct investment in the resale value of the home.
