Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Foundation and Slab Basics

Your foundation is the most important part of any structure. Whether you are building a new home, adding a garage, or constructing a shed or workshop, everything starts with a solid concrete foundation or slab. Get this right and your building will stand strong for generations. Get it wrong and you will face expensive repairs down the road.

We specialize in concrete slabs and foundations for all types of projects in Montebello and surrounding areas. Our team understands local soil conditions, building codes, and the engineering principles that make foundations work. When you need professional concrete foundation work, you need contractors who know what they are doing.

Types of Foundation Work We Do

Different structures need different foundation solutions. We handle all types of concrete foundation and slab work for residential and commercial projects:

• •Monolithic Slabs: Single-pour foundations that combine the footing and slab into one solid piece, ideal for garages and simple structures
• •Stem Wall Foundations: Traditional foundations with a footing below frost line and a vertical wall that supports the structure above
• •Basement Floors: Thick, reinforced concrete slabs designed for below-grade spaces with proper moisture barriers
• •Garage Slabs: Heavy-duty concrete floors built to handle vehicle weight and daily use
• •Shed and Workshop Foundations: Level, durable bases for outbuildings and storage structures
• •Equipment Pads: Reinforced concrete pads for HVAC units, generators, and heavy equipment

Why Foundation Quality Matters

A poorly built foundation causes problems that only get worse over time. Cracks in walls, doors that will not close properly, uneven floors, and moisture issues all trace back to foundation problems. Fixing a bad foundation after the building goes up costs many times more than doing it right from the start.

Proper Site Preparation

We start every foundation project with thorough site evaluation and preparation. The ground needs to be properly graded, compacted, and stabilized. Soft spots, organic material, and poor drainage must be addressed before any concrete gets poured. This groundwork determines how well your foundation performs for decades to come.

Engineered Specifications

Foundation thickness, reinforcement, and concrete strength all depend on what the slab needs to support. We follow engineering specifications and building codes to ensure your foundation meets structural requirements. Steel rebar placement, proper concrete mix design, and correct curing procedures are not optional when building foundations that last.

Moisture and Drainage Control

Water is the enemy of foundations. We install vapor barriers, perimeter drainage systems, and proper grading to keep moisture away from your foundation. These details prevent problems like cracking, settling, and moisture intrusion that can damage your building and everything in it.
