Concrete Slab & Foundation Work

Your foundation is literally what your entire building sits on. Get it wrong, and you will deal with cracks, settling, moisture problems, and structural issues for as long as that building stands. Get it right, and you have a solid base that supports everything above it without a second thought.

We specialize in concrete slab foundations and structural concrete work for residential and commercial projects throughout Owensboro. Whether you are building a new home, adding a garage, constructing a shed, or working on a commercial building, we have the expertise and equipment to pour a foundation that meets code and exceeds your expectations.

Foundation work is not something you want to trust to just anyone. One mistake in the prep work, reinforcement, or pour can cause problems that are expensive or impossible to fix later. We have been doing this work since 2024, and we know how to build foundations that last. We understand local soil conditions, frost depth requirements, and building codes. That local knowledge makes all the difference.

We handle all types of concrete slab and foundation work. Here is what we can do for you:

• Slab-on-grade foundations: The most common type for residential construction, poured directly on prepared ground
• Garage slabs: Thicker slabs designed to handle vehicle weight and equipment
• Shed foundations: Properly sized slabs for outbuildings and storage structures
• Shop and barn floors: Heavy-duty slabs for agricultural and workshop buildings
• Equipment pads: Reinforced concrete pads for HVAC units, generators, and machinery
• Commercial foundations: Larger-scale foundation work for commercial buildings and structures

Each type of foundation has specific requirements for thickness, reinforcement, and site preparation. We follow engineering specifications and building codes to ensure your foundation is built to the right standards. If your project requires engineered plans, we work directly with engineers and inspectors to make sure everything is done correctly.

Building a proper foundation takes more than just pouring concrete into a hole. Every step of the process matters, and cutting corners leads to problems. Here is what we do on every foundation project:

Site Preparation and Excavation

We start by evaluating the site and excavating to the proper depth. We remove topsoil and any unstable material that could settle or shift. The excavation must be level and properly sized for the foundation dimensions.

Base and Compaction

A compacted gravel base provides drainage and a stable platform for the concrete. We use the right materials and compact them thoroughly. This step prevents settling and moisture problems that could undermine the foundation.

Vapor Barrier and Insulation

For residential foundations, we install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from wicking up through the concrete. Depending on the project, we may also install rigid foam insulation to improve energy efficiency and meet building codes.

Reinforcement

Steel rebar provides tensile strength that concrete lacks on its own. We place rebar according to engineering specs or industry standards, spacing it properly and supporting it at the correct height within the slab. For some projects, we use wire mesh or fiber reinforcement.

Concrete Placement and Finishing

We pour high-quality concrete mixed to the right strength for your application. Our crew works efficiently to place, level, and finish the concrete before it begins to set. We use laser levels and screeds to ensure the slab is flat and at the correct elevation. The finish depends on what will be built on top, whether it is a smooth trowel finish or a rougher broom finish.

We work with both residential homeowners and commercial contractors. If you are building a new home, we coordinate with your builder to schedule the foundation pour at the right time in the construction sequence. We show up when we say we will, work efficiently, and leave the site ready for the next trade.

For homeowners adding a garage, shop, or other structure, we handle everything from permits to final inspection. We explain what needs to happen, provide a clear timeline, and keep you informed throughout the process. Foundation work requires coordination and planning, but we make it as smooth as possible.

We also offer commercial concrete services for larger projects. Whether you need a foundation for a warehouse, retail building, or industrial facility, we have the experience and equipment to get it done.
