Our Garage Foundations Process


1. Site Inspection & Soil Assessment
We examine site conditions, measure for slope, and test the soil to determine the right type of foundation.

2. Excavation & Grading
We dig to the appropriate depth and level the site, ensuring a stable base with gravel fill and compacting.

3. Concrete Pouring & Curing
We pour the concrete slab with rebar reinforcement, control joints, and moisture barriers. The slab is properly leveled and cured for maximum strength.

4. Final Inspection & Prep for Garage Build
Once cured, we inspect and prep the surface for framing, ensuring everything is ready for your new garage construction.
