Why Foundation Work Matters

Your foundation is literally what everything else sits on. Whether you are building a new home, adding a garage, or putting up a shed, the quality of your foundation determines how well that structure performs for years to come. A poorly installed foundation leads to cracks, settling, moisture problems, and expensive repairs down the road.

We take foundation work seriously because we understand what is at stake. Our team has poured foundations for homes, commercial buildings, and accessory structures throughout Hollister. We know the local soil conditions, the building codes, and the best practices that ensure your foundation does its job properly. When you need reliable concrete foundation services, you need a team that gets it right the first time.

Types of Foundation Work We Do

We handle all types of concrete slab and foundation projects in the Hollister area. Here is what we can do for you:

  • Residential foundation slabs for new home construction
  • Garage and shop foundations built to support heavy loads
  • Shed pads and accessory structure foundations
  • Commercial building slabs with proper reinforcement
  • Foundation repair and leveling for existing structures
  • Post-tension slab systems for challenging soil conditions

Every foundation we pour starts with proper planning. We review your plans, assess your site, and recommend the right approach for your specific needs. Sometimes that means a simple slab-on-grade. Other times we may suggest additional reinforcement or special preparation depending on soil conditions or load requirements.

Our Foundation Process

Building a quality foundation requires attention to detail at every step. We do not cut corners because we know you are counting on this foundation to support your investment for decades. Here is how we approach every foundation project.

First, we excavate and grade the site to exact specifications. The ground has to be level and properly compacted or your foundation will settle unevenly. We bring in quality base material when needed and compact it in layers to create a stable platform. This prep work is not glamorous, but it makes all the difference.

Next comes reinforcement. We install rebar according to engineering specs and building codes, tying everything together to create a strong grid. For larger foundations or challenging conditions, we may use post-tension cables or additional steel. Then we pour, screed, and finish the concrete to create a level surface. We also handle proper curing to ensure your foundation reaches its full strength. If you also need a concrete driveway or other flatwork, we can coordinate that work efficiently with your foundation project.

Working with Hollister Conditions

Hollister has unique soil and climate conditions that affect how we build foundations. Clay soils that expand and contract with moisture changes require careful attention to drainage and reinforcement. We know how to work with these conditions because we have been doing foundation work here for years.

We always make sure water drains away from your foundation properly. Poor drainage is one of the biggest causes of foundation problems, so we grade your site correctly and can install drainage systems if needed. We also understand local building codes and work with inspectors to ensure everything meets requirements. Our experience with commercial concrete projects means we know how to handle complex foundation requirements and inspections.
