Concrete Slab & Foundation Work
Strong foundations built right the first time for your home, garage, or addition.
Why Foundation Work Matters
Your foundation is literally what everything else sits on. Whether you're building a new home, adding a garage, or putting up a shed, the concrete slab or foundation underneath needs to be done right. Shortcuts in foundation work lead to expensive problems later like cracking walls, uneven floors, and doors that won't close properly.
We've poured foundations throughout Highland, CA for residential and light commercial projects. Our crew knows how to prepare the ground properly, set the correct thickness and reinforcement, and finish the surface to exact specifications. You get a solid base that stays level and stable for the life of your structure.
Types of Slabs and Foundations We Install
Different projects need different foundation approaches. Here's what we do:
- Residential foundations: Full-house slabs built to engineered specifications
- Garage slabs: Heavy-duty thickness to support vehicle weight
- Room additions: Properly tied into existing foundations
- Shed and workshop pads: Level surfaces for storage buildings
- Equipment pads: Reinforced slabs for HVAC units or generators
- Stem wall foundations: Elevated foundation systems with block or concrete walls
Each type requires specific preparation, reinforcement, and finishing. We follow building codes and engineering plans to make sure your foundation meets all requirements and passes inspection the first time.
Our Foundation Installation Process
Building a proper foundation takes more than just pouring concrete. The prep work makes all the difference. We start by excavating to the depth specified in your plans and ensuring proper drainage away from the structure. Next, we compact the soil thoroughly because loose ground leads to settling and cracks. Then we install a gravel base that provides stable support and helps with drainage. We set reinforcement like rebar or wire mesh according to engineering requirements. After carefully leveling the forms, we pour concrete mixed to the right strength for your specific application. Finally, we finish the surface and ensure proper curing for maximum strength.
Foundation work typically takes several days to complete properly. We coordinate with your builder or handle the entire concrete phase of your project. Need reliable concrete contractors in Highland? We work with homeowners, builders, and contractors on projects of all sizes. We also provide concrete repair services if you have existing foundation issues.
Signs You Need Foundation Work
Not all foundation problems require complete replacement. Sometimes repairs can fix specific issues. Watch for these warning signs: cracks wider than a quarter inch in your slab or foundation walls, floors that slope or feel uneven when you walk on them, doors and windows that stick or won't close properly, gaps appearing between walls and ceilings, or water pooling near your foundation after rain.
If you notice any of these problems, give us a call. We'll inspect your foundation and let you know whether you need repairs, partial replacement, or if it's actually fine and something else is causing the issue. We don't push unnecessary work. We just give you honest assessments and fair pricing. We handle all types of concrete installation projects with the same attention to quality.
