For the past four months Bernardo Concrete Inc. has been working, on and off, in Whittier, California constructing all concrete aspects of the new Molokan Church on Pioneer Boulevard.  This project consisted of the buildings concrete slab footings, concrete ADA  ramp, concrete slab parking lot, concrete walkways, and even colored and design oriented concrete walkway in front of the church.

Stamped Colored Concrete Slab

For those of you that find regular plain gray concrete to be boring, we do all forms of colored and texture designed concrete as well.  At this particular job location, we formed and stamped a terra cotta colored concrete walkway at the entrance to the church.  This service is perfect for those remodeling driveways, patios, backyards etc.; to look artistic.  As you can see from the photographs the stamp we used for this concrete slab was a rock imitating pattern.  This is a way to show a more diverse form of a simple colored concrete slab.

]]> Getting a concrete driveway is a great idea and one that will increase the equity in your home whether you’re planning on selling right away or just enjoying the new renovation. Using this material means there are a few things you should understand about concrete construction in general so you’ll have some background when you finally decide on a contractor to handle the job for you.

Although many people only think of it as a problem associated with older homes, concrete driveways can start to sink under some circumstances. Remember that fixing a sinking concrete driveway is a long job that involves expertise in concrete construction and repair. It’s necessary to look for the contractor that has a proven track record of tackling this kind of work. Have a good look at the firm’s website to make sure they have the experience you need.

Of course it goes without saying, you need to be sure to get a professional working with you that understands all elements of concrete construction for the concrete driveway. They’ll need to know a lot about the subgrade because most experts will tell you that’s one of the most important elements. Just the right amount of dampening makes sure the chances of fissures are lessened. What’s important here is a few inches of granular fill that can include pea gravel or even crushed sand.

Thickness is another consideration in making sure your concrete driveway can handle the traffic on it. Usually the proper concrete construction allows for 3 ½ to 4 inches when only cars will be parked on the surface and the material should be 4 ½ to 5 ½ inches thick when heavier vehicles like trucks are parked on it.

Finally, you’ll need to have a good look at the website of the place you are considering. One of the criteria you’ll want to stay on top of before you make any final decisions about the concrete construction company you’ll select for your concrete driveway is reputation.  Make sure to take a good look at the testimonials on the site and also at the flexibility. While you might be looking at getting the driveway done for now, there’s nothing to say you won’t need some other project taken on down the road.

]]> There are many different jobs that might need the right concrete contractors. Among the issues that could use a concrete repair specialist are problems with the foundation in your home or business. Knowing a little about some of these issues can make a difference where getting the right help is concerned.

Over the lifetime of any concrete structure, there are several problems that can arise and concrete’s strength is only one of the issues you might need to look after. There are other problems that need the expert touch of a concrete repair specialist and these include the presence of excessive moisture and the soil composition of the surrounding area. It’s necessary to make sure the concrete contractors you’re looking at are familiar with these issues.

It’s necessary to keep in mind that the quality of the concrete foundation is quite often dependent on how the concrete is poured. If the job is not done right straightaway, there can be issues almost immediately and that’s why the concrete repair specialist you’re looking at needs to be aware of all the circumstances that can be involved. It’s also a good idea to make sure any concrete contractors you’re considering know all about how climatic conditions can affect the quality of the finished product.

For example, where the temperatures in winter actually dip below a certain point, it’s possible a concrete foundation that has just been poured can actually freeze over. Here it’s necessary for concrete contractors to test for strength before they decide on any course of action. Quite often this will mean a hole needs to be drilled down into the concrete and a test piece sent away to determine the sample’s strength.

If there’s a concrete repair job needed, it’s good to know the proper procedures have been implemented by professional concrete contractors first. A well trained expert will know who to contact in the event the strength of the concrete is in question, and if the concrete contractor doesn’t know who to contact, they should know a structural engineer who can point them in the right direction.

Getting the right concrete contractors on the job is often about knowing a little about any potential problems yourself. That way you stand a better chance of getting a proper concrete repair job done.

]]> Shopping on the Internet can be daunting unless you start off from the right vantage point and that means having some criteria. That’s true for almost everything you can want or need online but when you’re dealing with a new concrete driveway, it becomes especially important to get the right people working for you. If you’ll be using concrete slabs, it’s essential everything gets done right the first time, so here’s a few things you need to look for.

Experience should be at the top of everyone’s priority list. There’s no room to have an amateur company learn how to put in a concrete driveway and make mistakes at your expense. The trick is understanding which claims of experience are reputable since all the companies on the Web that want the job of putting in concrete slabs for you will claim to have experience. One of the best places to start gathering information is the About Us section on the website.

This is where reputable companies that you want to deal with go in depth and even talk about the various clients they have worked for. Finding one of these client lists can be especially helpful since you can contact previous customers to find out what kind of job the concrete driveway company did for them. Before you start talking price with any firm you’re going to let handle concrete slabs for you, it stands to reason you’ll want to know how many times and how well they’ve done the job before.

You should also look at the other services they offer and pay special attention to the ones beyond the concrete driveway job you want done. Remember that innovative companies have the flexibility to deal with various kinds of work that involve concrete slabs as well as other uses for concrete. It shows they’ve been around long enough to learn their trade.

Getting the right people to come and do an important job that will increase the value of your home is something that needs to be taken seriously. The concrete driveway that is done in a professional manner will make it easier for you to come and go and increase the equity you have in your property. There are quite a few companies that work with concrete slabs in other

]]> When it comes to installing or replacing new or broken pieces of concrete floor better known as concrete slab; we are the go to guys. Here at Bernardo we have over twenty years and counting of experience in the concrete business. Even when establishing something as simple as a concrete slab there is a lot more that a person is unaware of that needs to be done. We have the technique and skills it takes to professionally install or replace any type of construction work a customer requests by us.

You might think that all it takes to construct a concrete slab is some cement and tools; however, there is a lot of little details necessary in creating a correct concrete slab. We always make sure we thoroughly go through the plans for any construction job so that we become well acquainted with the area and know exactly what needs to be done.

Making the Right Measurements Pouring the Right Amount Working as a Team Using the Right Technique and Skills The Final Touch The Completed Look

Getting Down to The Basic Structure of a Concrete Slab

The base of a concrete slab involves 2×4 wooden planks used to mark off the area where the cement is poured. After the perimeter is established we can then bring in the cement truck and being the process of pouring all the cement needed for the area. At this point the construction is based on our expertise and technique. It requires us to know exactly how to form the concrete slab so that the cement is evenly distributed throughout the area. Once that is done we use our different techniques and tools to smooth out the surface  so that we create what everyone sees simply as a concrete slab.

They needed to replace a 9′x12′ area of 6″ concrete slab in order to operate a piece of machinery on the surface.

Working to Complete This Concrete Repair

First we saw cut and demo out the area that was to be repaired in order for this concrete slab to be able to withstand the heavy machinery operating on it. After the slab was removed we used our bobcats to dig approximately 21″ for the new 27″ slab.secure we were able to pour the cement for the new concrete slab. For this type of slab we also had to input expansion paper along the edge of the new concrete slab where it meets with the existing concrete slab. This is also used to support a concrete slab. Expansion paper looks ofter similar to a piece of plywood but is actually made up of  fiber and asphalt compounds.
