]]> 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

]]> This past week Bernardo Concrete was asked to do some concrete construction work at an industrial building in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is surrounded by the following cities Vernon, Commerce, Eagle Rock, and Burbank. The customer requested  some work on a concrete slab. The concrete slab had to be removed and replaced and they knew Bernardo Concrete was the concrete contractor they could count on to get the job done.

The Beginning of the Concrete Construction Slab

The entire process in this concrete construction job required more than just simply removing the concrete. When we first arrived at the job site we unloaded all our tools and bobcats along with marking off the area to ensure the safety of others. Once the area was marked off we began to saw-cut and demo the concrete. We then took our bobcats and broke the existing concrete slab. After this we picked up the concrete pieces with our bobcat and loaded it onto our dump truck where it is then hauled away to the nearest dump.

Completing the Concrete Construction Project

Now that the old concrete slab had been removed we were able to start the process of replacing the new concrete slab. The first step in this process was to set the rebar in order to support the concrete so that it lasts longer. Once the rebar was all set we began pouring the new concrete. We also had to make sure we formed the concrete so that it was even in every part of the new slab.  We were able to get this concrete construction project done in just one day and our customer was very satisfied with the work we completed for them.

]]> Bernardo Concrete was asked to do some concrete construction work for a property manager on an industrial building in Redondo Beach, CA. Redondo Beach is in and around Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Gardena, and Hawthorne. The removal and replacement of the concrete slab required a little more work than just demolition and replacement. However, this was a job Bernardo Concrete knew they had the skills and technical know how for and were able to get the job done successfully and on time.

Working to Complete This Concrete Slab

We were first asked to re construct a small area for an industrial building, but we then discovered that there was a change that needed to be made. The small concrete slab now turned into a larger area of concrete to be removed. The beginning process for this project dealt with saw cutting out the area that needed to be removed. Once the previous concrete slab was removed, the next step was to excavate an extra  foot of dirt and then the placement of the rebar was done. The rebar was tied and dowels were placed around the perimeter of the slab for a metal table. After the rebar was fully intact our concrete slab was now ready for inspection. The customer requested 4 extra  footings to be done. This specific project required a little more work than usual but we still managed to get the job done right. You can always count on Bernardo Concrete for any concrete construction project because with our experience and skill we are always sure to satisfy our customers!

Bernardo Concrete worked on a concrete slab in Paramount for a property manager. When it comes to concrete slabs this type of work requires a lot of time and dedication. The removal part for a concrete slab doesn’t take much work because we usually use our tractors, which does the concrete breaking for us and after all the concrete is broken up we place it in our dump truck where it gets hauled away to the nearest dump. After the area is clear of all the previous concrete we level out the area and set up the forms for the new concrete slab. The finishing part for this entire construction project takes the most time and dedication. We start off the process by pouring the concrete within the set perimeter for the concrete slab. Once the concrete slab is poured, we have to shovel the concrete to get it close to the grade that is must be. Once the shoveling process is complete, we rod and float the cement in order to make the concrete smooth and give it a nice look. After all the floating is done we end with a nice broom finish at the surface.

]]> Bernardo Concrete managed to lay down concrete on a steep driveway in Brea, California. To lay concrete down correctly, especially on a large hillside like the one in the picture, we must carefully pour the concrete on the street.  First, we pour the concrete onto the surface and then we rod and shovel the concrete into its correct placement.  After these steps, we continue by floating the concrete, freznoing and brooming the concrete to a light finish.  At Bernardo Concrete we always make sure that our work area is cleaned up and cautioned off for the safety of our crew and customers, of course. Our work isn’t finished until we know that it’s a safe environment for everyone to go ahead and be around.

Concrete Slab

At Garden Grove Elementary, Bernardo Concrete managed to save the playground by repairing the concrete slab surrounding the play equipment.  Our workers made sure to partition off the work area with caution tape for the safety of the students.  Next, the crew started the four part process that is basically pour, shovel, rod, and float.  While some workmen finish off the pouring and shoveling, others float the concrete slab in order to get the job done on time.  Due to the children at the job site, Bernardo concrete clearly taped off the area with caution tape and secured the section so the site would remain safe.  When they finished, the outcome was a fully repaired concrete slab.

At Bernardo Concrete, we work hard on each of our job locations, no matter the circumstances.  We make sure the job site is safe and that the work is performed efficiently for the benefit of the customer.  Bernardo Concrete concentrates not only on the project at hand, but also the safety of our customers and the people at the job site.
