FOUNDATION & SLAB CONSTRUCTION

Flat, level, and engineered for the load. Garage slabs, shop floors, barn foundations, and light commercial pads — poured to last.

About This Service

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

A foundation is the base everything else sits on. Get the prep wrong — inadequate compaction, wrong mix design, insufficient thickness — and every structure built on top is compromised. We treat foundation work with the same attention to specification as any decorative project, because what you can't see is just as important as what you can.

Who This Is Right For

  • Homeowners building a new garage or shop
  • Property owners adding a barn, outbuilding, or shed pad
  • General contractors needing a reliable concrete sub
  • Light commercial property owners
No Hidden Costs

Quick Answers

COMMON QUESTIONS

Do I need rebar or wire mesh for a garage slab?

Both provide structural reinforcement — rebar offers more strength, wire mesh is more economical. For standard residential garages, wire mesh is typically sufficient. For heavier use or vehicles, we spec rebar. We'll recommend the right option for your load.

Can you set anchor bolts for my framing contractor?

Yes. We coordinate with your builder or framing contractor to place anchor bolts accurately in the slab. Bring us the plans and we'll handle the coordination.

How thick should a garage foundation be?

Standard residential garage slabs are 4 inches. For heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, or lifts, we recommend 5–6 inches with rebar. Your written quote will specify the thickness.
