GetItDone Claremont Concrete provides concrete contractor services in Montclair, CA, including concrete driveways, patios, retaining walls, and slab foundations for homes on Inland Empire soil. We have responded to requests within one business day since 2019.
Most Montclair homes sit on alluvial soils that shift over decades, which is the main reason driveways laid in the 1960s and 1970s crack and heave the way they do. If your driveway is past the point of patching, our concrete driveway building service includes proper sub-base prep designed for this soil type.
Backyard patios in Montclair get heavy use during the long warm season, and the intense UV and heat here breaks down inferior finishes quickly. We pour patios with the right mix and finish for Inland Empire conditions so the surface holds its color and texture for years rather than months.
Montclair properties near the foothill slopes deal with soil pressure and drainage that flat-lot homes do not. A properly engineered concrete retaining wall keeps soil in place and protects foundations from water-driven movement during winter rain events.
Virtually every home in Montclair sits on a slab foundation, and when those slabs shift or crack due to clay and alluvial soil movement, the whole structure is affected. We pour replacement and new slab foundations with vapor barriers and reinforcement sized for local soil conditions.
Sidewalks near Montclair's older residential streets heave and crack as tree roots and soil movement work against them over time. We replace raised or broken sidewalk panels and handle the coordination with the City of Montclair for any work touching the public right-of-way.
Front entry steps and side-yard stairs on Montclair homes built in the 1950s through 1970s are often crumbling at the edges or have settled unevenly. New concrete steps restore curb appeal and eliminate a real trip hazard before the wet season brings more freeze-thaw stress.
Montclair sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, which means the soil beneath most homes is largely alluvial material - loose, sandy deposits washed down from the foothills over thousands of years. This soil drains reasonably well in dry conditions but compresses and shifts unpredictably when it gets wet. Winter rain, even the moderate amounts Montclair receives, causes that movement. Hot, dry summers then pull moisture back out, causing the soil to contract. That cycle repeats year after year, and concrete flatwork laid without proper base compaction and joint planning simply cannot keep up.
The housing stock compounds the issue. The majority of Montclair homes were built between the late 1940s and early 1980s, which puts them at an age where original driveways, sidewalks, and patio slabs have been through decades of this movement. Stucco exteriors are also common on these mid-century homes and crack in the same climate pattern. Santa Ana winds, which hit the Inland Empire every fall with low humidity and gusts that can exceed 50 mph, accelerate drying of caulk and sealants and can open hairline cracks into larger ones. A concrete contractor who works regularly in Montclair already knows which neighborhoods sit on the heaviest alluvial deposits and how to spec the sub-base accordingly.
Our crew works throughout Montclair regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Montclair sits along the 10 Freeway between Ontario to the west and Pomona to the east - we run this corridor every week pulling permits and delivering materials. Monte Vista Avenue and Central Avenue are the main north-south and east-west routes we navigate to reach homes across the city, and we know which neighborhoods near Montclair Place tend to have the oldest flatwork in need of replacement.
The Montclair Metrolink station area sees steady foot traffic from commuters, and homeowners nearby tend to keep their properties in good shape. Whether a job is near the quieter residential streets closer to the foothills or in the denser blocks nearer to Central Avenue, we have worked on homes throughout. We pull permits through the City of Montclair Building and Safety Division and are familiar with what their inspectors look for on flatwork and foundation jobs.
If you are comparing us to contractors based farther east in Ontario or to the west in Pomona, we are equally familiar with both of those cities and can serve projects across the corridor.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form, and we will respond within one business day. You tell us what you need and where - no long intake form required.
We visit the property, look at what you have, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. If a repair makes more sense than a full replacement, we will tell you honestly - this is where cost anxiety gets resolved.
For jobs requiring a Montclair building permit, we handle the application and schedule the work around the inspection timeline. You do not have to coordinate with the city yourself.
We do the work, clean up the site, and walk you through curing expectations so you know exactly when the slab is ready. Most residential slabs are ready for light foot traffic within five to seven days.
We serve all of Montclair and respond within one business day. Free estimates, no obligation.
(909) 788-2719Montclair is a city of about 38,000 residents in San Bernardino County, nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains along the 10 Freeway. The city is bordered by Ontario to the west and Pomona to the east and serves as a transit hub for the Inland Empire - the Montclair Metrolink station on the San Bernardino Line connects commuters to Los Angeles and other Inland Empire cities. Montclair Place, the city's large regional shopping mall on Central Avenue, has been a community gathering point for decades and serves as a geographic reference point that nearly every resident recognizes. The mix of longtime homeowners and newer residents reflects the broader Inland Empire pattern of people moving east from Los Angeles for more affordable housing.
The residential character of Montclair is defined largely by single-family homes built from the late 1940s through the early 1980s, most of them one-story ranch-style or simple two-story designs with stucco exteriors. Lot sizes are modest - typically 5,000 to 7,000 square feet - with concrete driveways, small front yards, and backyard slabs that in many cases are now 40 to 70 years old. About 40 to 45 percent of housing units are renter-occupied, and the city also has apartment complexes along major corridors like Monte Vista Avenue. We serve homeowners and property managers throughout Montclair, and we are equally at home on a quiet residential street near the foothills as we are on a larger commercial property off Central. For neighbors to the north in Upland or to the east in Ontario, we cover those areas as well.
