About our concrete contractor business in Ridgecrest

I started as a helper on a small concrete crew, hauling forms and pushing mud, and I learned the trade one pour at a time. In 2017 I started Ridgecrest Concrete here in Ridgecrest, and I still run a small crew and answer my own phone. Homeowners call us for driveways, patios, steps and slabs, and property owners call us for footings, foundations and lots. We take jobs in Ridgecrest and the cities around it, and you'll find all the work we do on our home page.

Hauling forms taught me that most concrete problems start under the slab or before the pour. A base that's only raked level settles with the dirt, and a slab that falls toward the house sends water at your foundation. So we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and check where the water runs before the truck shows up. That work is hidden on day one, so it's the first thing a cheap bid cuts. If money's tight, I'd trim the finish before the base, because a nice top on soft ground still sinks.
