Quality Materials and Techniques

We use only high-quality concrete mixes designed for foundation work, with proper reinforcement including rebar and wire mesh. Vapor barriers are installed beneath slabs to prevent moisture intrusion. Our team ensures proper curing to achieve maximum strength and durability. Every foundation we pour is built to meet or exceed local building codes.

Site Preparation

Proper site preparation is critical for foundation success. We begin every project with thorough excavation, grading, and compaction of the subgrade. Footings are installed to proper depth and specifications. This attention to detail during preparation prevents future settling, cracking, and structural issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep should concrete footings be?
In Colorado, footings must extend below the frost line, which is typically 36-48 inches deep depending on your specific location. This prevents frost heaving that can damage your foundation. We always follow local building codes for proper footing depth.
What's the difference between a slab and a foundation?
A slab is a flat concrete surface poured directly on the ground, used for garages, sheds, or slab-on-grade construction. A foundation includes footings and walls that support the structure above, providing stability and creating a crawl space or basement area.
Do I need a vapor barrier under my concrete slab?
Yes, a vapor barrier is essential for most slabs, especially those inside buildings. It prevents ground moisture from migrating up through the concrete, which can cause problems with flooring, increase humidity, and promote mold growth. We use 6-mil polyethylene sheeting as standard.
How long before I can build on a new foundation?
Concrete foundations should cure for at least 7 days before framing begins, though 28 days is ideal for maximum strength. We can provide specific recommendations based on weather conditions, concrete mix design, and your project timeline.
Can you pour a foundation in winter?
Yes, with proper cold-weather precautions. We use heated concrete, insulating blankets, and ground thawing equipment when necessary. However, extremely cold weather may require project delays to ensure proper curing and strength development.
