Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Every building needs a solid foundation. Whether you are constructing a new home, adding a garage, or building a commercial structure, the concrete slab and foundation determine the long-term stability of your project. A properly installed foundation prevents settling, cracking, and structural issues that cost thousands to repair later. We specialize in residential and commercial foundation work, delivering structural integrity that meets or exceeds building codes.

Foundation work requires precision, experience, and attention to detail. The site must be properly prepared, drainage must be addressed, and the concrete must be mixed, placed, and cured correctly. Shortcuts in any of these areas lead to problems. We follow proven methods and industry standards to ensure your foundation project provides reliable support for decades. From simple shed slabs to complex commercial foundations, we handle projects of all sizes with the same commitment to quality.

Our foundation work includes slab-on-grade foundations, garage floors, shed and outbuilding slabs, basement floors, equipment pads, and commercial building foundations. We work with engineers and building inspectors to ensure all work meets local codes and structural requirements. When your project requires a foundation you can trust, we deliver the expertise and workmanship to get it done right.

We install several types of concrete slabs and foundations, each designed for specific applications and load requirements:

• Slab-on-Grade Foundations: The most common residential foundation, where the concrete slab serves as both the floor and foundation, sitting directly on prepared soil.
• Garage Floors: Reinforced slabs designed to support vehicle weight and resist oil, chemicals, and daily wear.
• Shed and Outbuilding Slabs: Simple, cost-effective foundations for storage buildings, workshops, and other structures.
• Basement Floors: Concrete floors installed over basement excavations, with proper moisture barriers and drainage.
• Equipment Pads: Heavy-duty slabs for HVAC units, generators, hot tubs, and other equipment requiring stable support.
• Commercial Foundations: Engineered slabs for warehouses, retail spaces, and industrial buildings with specific load requirements.

Each type requires different preparation, reinforcement, and finishing techniques. We assess your project requirements and build the appropriate foundation for your specific needs. Whether you need a simple shed slab or a complex commercial foundation, we have the experience to deliver quality results.

Site Preparation and Excavation

Foundation work begins with thorough site preparation. We excavate to the required depth, removing topsoil and organic material that could cause settling. The excavated area is graded to direct water away from the foundation. We compact the soil to create a stable base, then install a gravel sub-base for drainage and additional support. This preparation work is critical for preventing settlement and moisture problems.

Forming and Reinforcement

Forms are built to define the shape and edges of your slab or foundation. We install vapor barriers to prevent moisture from migrating through the concrete. Steel reinforcement, including rebar or wire mesh, is placed throughout the slab to provide tensile strength and prevent cracking. For foundations requiring footings, we dig and form trenches that extend below the frost line to prevent frost heaving. All work follows engineering specifications and local building codes.

Pouring and Finishing

We use concrete mixes specified for foundation work, with appropriate strength ratings for your project. The concrete is poured, spread, and leveled using laser-guided equipment for precision. We finish the surface smooth or with a light broom texture depending on its intended use. Proper curing methods ensure the concrete reaches full strength. For garage floors or other visible slabs, we can apply decorative finishes or prepare the surface for epoxy coatings. The result is a foundation that provides reliable structural support for the life of your building.
