Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Expert Foundation Work for New Construction and Additions

Your foundation is the most important part of any structure. It supports everything above it and determines how long your building will last. A properly installed concrete slab or foundation prevents structural problems, keeps your building level, and protects against moisture damage. This is not work you want to trust to anyone but experienced professionals.

We specialize in concrete foundation and slab work for new homes, additions, garages, sheds, and commercial buildings throughout Paradise. Our team has the knowledge and equipment to handle projects of any size, from small shed pads to large commercial foundations. We follow engineering specifications, obtain proper permits, and build foundations that meet or exceed all building codes.

Why Foundation Quality Matters

Foundation problems are expensive and disruptive to fix. Cracks in walls, sticking doors, uneven floors, and moisture issues all trace back to foundation failures. Most of these problems result from poor site preparation, inadequate reinforcement, or improper concrete techniques during initial construction.

When we build your foundation, we focus on these critical elements that prevent future problems:

Soil Preparation: We test and prepare the soil properly. Paradise has expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. We excavate to stable soil, compact the subgrade, and install proper base material to prevent settlement.

Moisture Control: We install vapor barriers to prevent moisture from wicking up through the concrete. We also ensure proper grading so water drains away from the foundation instead of pooling against it.

Proper Reinforcement: We use steel rebar placed according to engineering specifications. This reinforcement prevents cracks from forming and gives the concrete the strength to support your structure.

Correct Thickness and Mix: We pour concrete at the proper thickness for your building load. We use the right concrete mix with proper strength and additives for our climate.

Quality Control: We monitor every step of the process to ensure specifications are met. This includes checking elevations, verifying reinforcement placement, testing concrete strength, and inspecting the finished work.

How We Build Your Foundation

Foundation work requires careful planning and execution. Here is our step-by-step approach:

We start by reviewing your plans and site conditions. We coordinate with your builder or architect to understand load requirements and ensure our work integrates with the overall project timeline. We obtain necessary permits and arrange for required inspections.

Next, we prepare the site by excavating to the proper depth, removing unsuitable soil, and grading for drainage. We compact the subgrade and install a gravel base layer. For slab foundations, we install plumbing stub-outs and other utilities that need to run under the concrete.

We then set forms to the correct dimensions and elevations. We install vapor barriers and place steel reinforcement according to engineering plans. Everything is inspected before we pour concrete.

The concrete pour is carefully managed to ensure proper placement and finishing. We use quality concrete from local suppliers and finish the surface to specifications. After the pour, we protect the concrete and allow proper curing time to reach full strength.

Finally, we remove forms, backfill as needed, and clean up the site. We provide all documentation for your records and building inspector. Our work is guaranteed, giving you confidence in your new foundation. We also provide concrete driveway installation and sidewalk services to complete your property.
