OneCall Redlands Concrete is a concrete contractor serving Bloomington with garage floors, driveway replacement, patios, and slab foundations designed for the expansive soil and aging housing stock common throughout this San Bernardino County community. We have worked in the Inland Empire since 2020 and reply to every request within one business day.
Bloomington is an unincorporated community where most homes were built between the 1950s and 1990s. That era of construction combined with expansive soil and regular 100-plus-degree summers creates a steady need for concrete repair and replacement. Most of the work we do here involves older flatwork that has cracked, shifted, or simply reached the end of its useful life.
Garage floors in Bloomington homes from the 1950s through 1980s were often poured thin without proper expansion joints, and the result decades later is a floor that has cracked, heaved, or dusted badly. We replace them with a properly reinforced slab and can add a sealed finish to make the floor easier to clean and maintain - see the full process on our garage floor concrete page.
Driveways in Bloomington from the postwar decades are now 40 to 70 years old and are commonly cracked, sunken, or spalling from UV exposure and soil movement. We replace them with reinforced slabs over properly compacted base so the new surface holds up through the wet-dry cycle instead of repeating the same problems.
Ranch-style homes in Bloomington sit on slab foundations, and additions, ADUs, and detached structures all need a new slab poured to match. Because Bloomington is unincorporated, we coordinate with San Bernardino County for permits on structural pours and follow county requirements for reinforcement, vapor barrier, and thickness.
Backyard patios in Bloomington are used year-round given the climate, and older smooth-troweled slabs get dangerously slippery when wet. We pour broom-finish concrete with drainage slope built in so water moves away from the house foundation and the surface stays safe when it rains.
Bloomington lots with grade changes at the rear yard or along side property lines often have older block walls that were built without adequate drainage behind them. We rebuild these walls with the weep holes and gravel backing that allow water to escape instead of building up pressure that pushes the wall out over time.
Tree roots and soil movement are the two most common causes of heaved front walkways in Bloomington neighborhoods. When we replace a sidewalk, we address the root or drainage cause - not just resurface over the same problem - so the new walk stays level for years rather than developing the same trip hazard.
Bloomington's housing stock runs from 1950s ranch homes to 1990s tract houses, and almost every one of them has original concrete flatwork that is now well past its intended lifespan. The Inland Empire's soils have a significant clay content that causes the ground to swell with winter rain and shrink in the summer heat - the California Department of Conservation's expansive soils program identifies this as a significant hazard across San Bernardino County. That seasonal movement is the main reason driveways crack and garage floors heave in Bloomington neighborhoods that were built without the base depth or reinforcement needed to absorb it.
Because Bloomington is unincorporated, there is no city building department - all permit work goes through San Bernardino County Land Use Services. A contractor who is not familiar with county processes may delay a project for weeks waiting on paperwork they did not anticipate. Summer heat in this part of the Inland Empire regularly hits 100 degrees and above, which affects how concrete is placed and cured. Skipping proper curing procedures in July heat produces a surface that looks fine at first but scales and dusts within a couple of seasons. Getting every step right from base compaction through final cure is the difference between flatwork that lasts and flatwork that needs to be replaced again in a decade.
Our crew works throughout Bloomington regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete contractor work here. Because Bloomington is unincorporated, we pull permits through San Bernardino County Land Use Services - Building and Safety for projects that require them, and we factor county processing times into project scheduling so there are no unexpected delays.
Bloomington sits between Rialto to the west and Fontana to the east, with Interstate 10 running along its northern edge. Most of the community is single-family residential, and the housing stock on the streets near Bloomington High School and Bloomington Community Park is representative of what we work on across the area - one-story ranch homes on modest lots with slab foundations and original concrete flatwork that is overdue for replacement. Homes closer to the 10 freeway sometimes show more base settlement from the vibration and heavy truck traffic on the surrounding streets.
We also regularly serve homeowners in neighboring Grand Terrace to the south and Rialto to the west, where the same clay soil conditions and postwar housing stock create similar concrete needs.
Reach us at (909) 546-5311 or submit the contact form online. We follow up within one business day to confirm we received your request and to ask a few questions about what you need done.
We come to the property, look at the existing conditions, and give you a written estimate at no charge. We will let you know upfront whether a county permit is needed and how that affects the timeline and cost - no surprises after you commit.
We handle demolition of the old concrete, haul-away, base compaction, forming, and the pour. If a county permit is required, we file it before work starts. You do not need to be present for the whole project, but we coordinate with you on the pour day so you can plan around it.
We walk through the completed work with you, explain the cure schedule, and answer any questions about sealing or long-term maintenance. Light foot traffic is typically fine within 24 to 48 hours, and vehicle use within the first week.
We serve Bloomington and the surrounding Inland Empire communities. Call or submit a request and we will get back to you within one business day - free estimate, no obligation.
(909) 546-5311Bloomington is an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County with a population of roughly 23,000 to 26,000 people. It sits in the heart of the Inland Empire between Rialto and Fontana, with Interstate 10 running along its northern border. As noted in the Bloomington community profile on Wikipedia, the area developed heavily during the postwar suburban expansion and is now home to a dense mix of single-family neighborhoods. The community is family-oriented with a relatively young median age, and a significant share of residents are long-term homeowners.
The housing stock is almost entirely single-family detached homes, most of them one-story ranch or tract houses built on slab foundations. Properties are modestly sized with concrete driveways, backyard patios, and block wall fencing - a standard Inland Empire residential layout. Bloomington Community Park is the main gathering spot for the community. Because Bloomington has no city government of its own, residents and contractors alike work with San Bernardino County for permits, code enforcement, and public works. Neighboring Fontana to the east and Rialto to the west share many of the same housing characteristics.
