How deep do footings need to be around the Highland Lakes?

It depends on the structure and the soil at your specific site. We dig to the depth the addition or outbuilding requires below any disturbed or expansive soil layer, which we evaluate during the estimate.

Can you pour a foundation that ties into my existing house?

Yes, this is one of the more common jobs we handle. We form the new foundation to meet the existing structure cleanly at the correct elevation.

How long before I can start framing on a new foundation?

We'll give you a specific timeline based on the pour, but structural foundations generally need at least a week of cure time before framing loads are applied, longer for larger pours.

Do you pour footings for carports and covered porches?

Yes. We pour column and footing work for carports, covered porches, and similar structures sized to the load they'll carry.

Concrete Foundations & Footings for Additions and Outbuildings

Home additions, outbuildings, and other structural work all start with a foundation or footing that's formed and poured correctly. We pour footings and foundation slabs for additions, decks, carports, and outbuildings, working from the dimensions and depth the structure calls for.

What's Included

Formed to the structure's requirements

Footing depth, width, and reinforcement are set to what the addition or outbuilding actually needs, not a generic pour.

Correct depth below grade

Footings are dug and poured to the depth needed for the structure and local ground conditions, so the foundation isn't sitting on disturbed or shallow soil.

Tied into existing structures correctly

Additions that connect to an existing home or slab are formed so the new foundation meets the old one cleanly.

Curing time respected

We don't rush a structural pour off the schedule. Foundations and footings get the cure time they need before framing starts.

Built for Highland Lakes Ground

Expansive clay and caliche around the Highland Lakes move differently than sandy or loamy soil elsewhere. We dig and pour footings with that ground in mind.
