Concrete Foundations & Footings

The Foundation of Every Structure

Everything you build starts with the foundation. Whether it is a new home addition, a detached garage, or a retaining wall, proper footings and foundations determine how well the structure performs for years to come. Here in Baldwin Park, CA, we specialize in concrete foundations that meet code requirements and exceed expectations.

Foundation work requires precision, proper materials, and understanding of local soil conditions. We have poured countless foundations throughout Baldwin Park and nearby communities. We know what it takes to create a stable, long-lasting base for your project.

How We Build Your Foundation

Foundation work begins with site evaluation and planning. We review soil reports if available, or conduct our own assessment of soil conditions. This determines the depth, width, and reinforcement requirements for your footings. In areas with poor soil, we may need to excavate deeper or use special techniques.

Excavation must be precise. We dig to the exact depth specified in plans, maintaining level bottoms and vertical walls. Forms are then built to contain the concrete and establish exact dimensions. For footings, we install steel reinforcement according to engineering specifications. This rebar creates a cage within the concrete that adds tremendous strength.

The concrete pour itself must happen quickly and correctly. We use proper concrete mixes designed for foundation work, typically with specific strength ratings required by code. After pouring, we vibrate the concrete to remove air pockets and ensure it completely fills all forms. Anchor bolts and other embedded items are placed precisely while the concrete is still workable.

After the pour, proper curing is essential. Foundations must cure for several days before construction continues above. We coordinate with framers and other trades to keep your project moving efficiently. If you need additional concrete work like a garage floor slab or driveway, we handle that too.
