A concrete foundation is one of the few parts of a construction project that becomes permanent the moment it's poured. We build foundations that hold up and we spell out exactly what's going in the ground before the trucks arrive.
What we build
- House foundations — monolithic slab-on-grade with perimeter footings, engineered for your soil and load conditions
- Shop and garage slabs — 4" to 6" slabs with specified reinforcement, vapor control where needed, and finish matched to the intended use
- Metal building foundations — coordinated with building manufacturer specs, anchor bolt layouts, and column locations
- Barndominium foundations — living space slab work with finished-floor-ready moisture control and flat tolerance for flooring
- Equipment pads — thickened slabs for generators, tanks, compressors, and other point loads
- Agricultural pads — livestock barn floors, feed storage pads, and ag equipment staging areas
Our common foundation specs
3000 PSI concrete
Our standard mix for most residential and light commercial slabs. Upgraded to 3500 or 4000 PSI when loads, durability, or engineered specs call for it.
24" exterior footings (typical)
Standard perimeter footing dimension for many of our foundations. Exact width and depth depend on the building, soil, and engineering. We spell the dimensions out on the bid.
Reinforcement specified in writing
Rebar size and spacing, or welded wire mesh with placement method. Chaired or supported properly so it ends up where it belongs in the slab.
6 mil or 10 mil vapor barrier where needed
Under-slab moisture control for enclosed buildings and finished spaces. ASTM E1745 compliant products, sealed seams, penetrations addressed.
Hard-trowel or broom finish
Interior shop floors get a smooth hard-trowel finish. Exterior or slip-critical surfaces get broom finish. Matched to the use.
Compacted base in lifts
Base material placed and compacted in appropriate lifts, not dumped and smoothed. If your site has unsuitable soil, we address it before the pour.
Why our foundations hold up
A foundation is a system. The concrete mix matters, but so does everything else:
- Subgrade preparation — soft spots corrected, fill compacted, base material placed and tested where required
- Footing dimensions — sized for the load, not just copied from the last job
- Reinforcement placement — steel in the right position in the slab, not sitting on the ground where it can't work
- Control joints — planned and cut on time to control where cracking occurs
- Proper curing — not just walking away after finishing, but protecting the slab through the critical early days
What your bid will include
Every bid we write specifies
- Slab dimensions and thickness
- Concrete PSI and mix
- Reinforcement type, size, and spacing
- Footing width and depth
- Vapor barrier product and thickness (if applicable)
- Base prep and compaction scope
- Finish type
- Control joint plan
- What's excluded and what could cause a change order
