Foundations

While concrete foundations are one of the best kinds of foundations out there, its stability relies on proper site preparation. We check the soil and slope to ensure you get a solid, long-lasting foundation. We also take the climate conditions and whether it will be weight bearing into consideration when designing your concrete foundation.

We will design your foundation so water drains away from your structure, keeping the foundation dry. At times we may need to re-grade the site or add special drainage systems depending on the existing slope.

There are many different kinds of concrete used in construction today. Each type blends a variety of materials to achieve unique characteristics.

Concrete can also come in a wide variety of colors created by adding dyes to the liquid mixture.

Concrete surfaces come in three different finishes:

  • Smooth Concrete Finish: The most common interior finish is smooth, created by running a flat trowel over the top. This can be almost like glass.
  • Textured Concrete Finish: Textured concrete is created to provide traction for your outdoor concrete installations.
  • Exposed Aggregate Finish: Exposed aggregate is a rougher finish. Essentially, gravel is embedded into the surface, creating an ultra-textured concrete.
