Anyone know a cement guy, or have their own co.?

I just had a RV pad done on the side of my house. I had about 6 people come out and give me estimates. Here is the number of the guy I went with. His name is Gilbert, he wasnt the cheapest but he saw things others didnt and his pricing was right in the middle of everyone. I am very pleased with the results, he was honest, his guys shoed up every day on time and they got it done fast. His number is 951-264-2700. He is a GC also.

Roughly how much was the pad? Just curious as I need some work done in Corona myself.
 
yea i'd like to know as well, i've been wanting to pour a slap on the side of my house so i can work on my cars behind the gate.
 
I had some done down the side of my house two years ago. 52x11 feet, 4-5 inches thick. $2000

The slab I did was 115 feet long and 15.5 wide, I added 50 amp electrical and connected the rv dump and connected the drains to the existing ones.. The concrete is 2500 PSI with full rebar. All said and done It was right around $7500. It would have been less but I kept adding onto the job. :shocked:

The other quotes I got were $5500 up to $17,000. I went with Gilbert because he came highly recommened and when he came to estimate the job he noticed small things that the others didn't even mention. I am VERY pleased with his work.

Gonna need at least 6" for driveway work

Only for heavy use. 4 inches will never crack from cars as long as you have some meshn in it. I've driven my dodge diesel on mine with no issues. If you plan to park a diesel pusher motorhome on it, yeah, you better go thicker and might consider some rebar.
 
most driveways are around 4" thick. steel mesh or rebar is a must. figure at 4" thick you would get around a 9' X 9' pad. so that 52x11 pad took about 7 yards of concrete. 6 sack concrete will average about $120 a yard. a pumper will add about $250 min. (3yards) then whatever he charges per yard. that $2000 for the 52x 11 pad was a good deal considering the material was probably a good $1200 - $1500, unless you have your own forms you re-use. 4" thick is plenty for a driveway unless you plan to roll heavy vehicles over it. then 6" is needed. larger driveways will add another increased cost as the size of pour determins how many finishers you need to pay. it is not hard to figure material costs for the job, but finding a concrete guy to work cheap is not easy to find. it is hard work and you need to know what you are doing or you will ruin it fast. this is somewhere you absolutely need to use recommendations, and not just pick the cheapest you can find in the book.

yea, the heaviest thing i'll be parking on there is my van, which is 5000lbs.
my garage slab has to be pretty decent, i have about 10 tons of iron in there with my machine shop. no cracks yet. :gee:
 
most commercial property will have 6" slabs. especially if heavy equipment is to be placed on it. car/truck lifts need a min. of 6", and cannot be used for at least 30 days after the pour. also, how it is poured will be a huge factor on how strong the concrete will be. the more water put into the mix, the easier to pour and move around, but it weakens the mix considerably. a good concrete crew will know to use a dry mix when strength is important.
kinda funny, as i am typing i look outside to see what all the noise is, and i see my next door neighbor is having some concrete poured.

Yep. When I did it 2 years ago, the concrete was 90/yard. We used 8.5 yards, had two finishers, one pumper, and the boss who helped minimally. I paid cash which helped the price a bit, and the boss was a friend :D
