Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Why Your Foundation Matters Most

Everything you build sits on its foundation. Whether you are adding a garage, shed, home addition, or new construction, the foundation determines how well your structure holds up over time. A properly poured concrete slab or foundation prevents settling, cracking, and moisture problems that can cost thousands to fix later.

Here in Alexandria, VA, we deal with clay soils and seasonal moisture changes that put extra stress on foundations. That is why we never cut corners on site preparation or concrete quality. When you work with experienced concrete contractors who understand local soil conditions, you get a foundation that stays level and solid for decades.

Foundation and Slab Services We Provide

We handle all types of concrete foundation and slab work for residential and light commercial projects:

• Slab-on-grade foundations: Cost-effective foundation for garages, sheds, and additions
• Garage and workshop floors: Reinforced slabs designed to handle vehicle weight
• Basement floors: Level, moisture-resistant concrete floors for finished or unfinished basements
• Equipment pads: Heavy-duty slabs for HVAC units, generators, and machinery
• Shed and outbuilding foundations: Properly sized slabs that prevent settling and moisture damage

Each project gets engineered to meet local building codes and designed for its specific use. A garage floor needs different reinforcement than a shed pad, and we make sure every detail is right.

Our Foundation Installation Process

A solid foundation starts below ground level. We excavate to the proper depth and check that the soil can support the load. If we find soft spots, we address them before moving forward. Then we install a compacted gravel base that provides drainage and prevents settling.

Next, we build forms to the exact dimensions and install reinforcement like rebar or wire mesh based on what your project requires. When we pour the concrete, we use the right mix design for the application and work quickly to achieve a uniform pour. After finishing the surface, we protect it during the curing process so it reaches full strength. If you need driveway work along with your foundation project, we can coordinate both to save you time and money.

Built to Code, Built to Last

We follow all local building codes and industry best practices for every foundation we pour. That means proper thickness, correct reinforcement spacing, adequate drainage provisions, and appropriate concrete strength. Before we pour, we can arrange inspections if your project requires them. This attention to standards protects your investment and ensures your structure sits on a foundation you can trust.
