Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Foundation Services We Provide

Different projects need different foundation solutions. We have the equipment and expertise to handle whatever your project requires. Here is what we do:

• •Residential Foundations: New home construction, additions, and detached structures
• •Garage Slabs: Level, reinforced slabs that handle vehicle weight without cracking
• •Basement Floors: Smooth, properly graded concrete for finished or unfinished basements
• •Shed and Outbuilding Pads: Small slabs for storage buildings, workshops, and equipment
• •Commercial Foundations: Larger projects for retail, office, and industrial buildings

Why Foundation Quality Matters

A bad foundation causes problems that get expensive fast. Cracks in your slab lead to water damage, mold, and structural issues. Settling foundations create uneven floors and doors that will not close properly. Fixing these problems costs far more than doing the job right the first time.

We focus on three critical factors that determine how well your foundation performs. First, proper site preparation removes organic material and creates a stable base. Second, correct grading ensures water flows away from the structure. Third, adequate reinforcement prevents cracks and settling.

Connecticut's soil conditions and weather patterns make foundation work challenging. We account for frost depth, drainage patterns, and local building codes in every project. This attention to detail is why our foundations last.

How We Build Your Foundation

Site Assessment and Preparation

Every job starts with evaluating your site conditions. We check soil type, drainage, and access for equipment. Then we excavate to the proper depth and grade the area for drainage. Soil compaction is critical here because loose soil leads to settling.

Base and Forms

We install a gravel base that provides drainage and prevents moisture from reaching the concrete. Forms are set up to create the exact dimensions your project requires. For larger slabs, we add steel reinforcement or wire mesh to increase strength and reduce cracking.

Pouring and Curing

We use concrete mixes designed for foundation work and pour in sections to maintain quality. The surface is finished smooth and level, then properly cured to reach full strength. Rushing this step causes weak concrete that fails early.

For complex projects, we coordinate with other trades to install plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components at the right time. This planning prevents costly mistakes and keeps your project on schedule.

Residential and Commercial Projects

Homeowners typically need us for new construction, additions, or replacing old slabs. We work with builders and architects to meet your project specifications and timeline. Our residential foundation work includes driveways, garages, and home additions.

Commercial projects require larger equipment and crews. We handle retail buildings, warehouses, and office construction throughout Milford and the surrounding area. Our commercial concrete services meet all code requirements and project deadlines. Whether you need a small office building or a large industrial facility, we have the experience to deliver quality work on schedule.
