Foundations in Alsip for Additions, Sunrooms and Garages

Three things: depth, steel and accuracy. Depth because footings that stop above the frost line get lifted when the ground freezes, and that lift cracks drywall, racks doors and separates an addition from the original house. Steel because the drawings call for reinforcement in specific places, and it only works if it ends up inside the concrete at the correct height rather than lying on the trench floor. Accuracy because every framer, mason and window installer who follows us relies on the top of our walls and slabs being level and at the planned elevation. Our foundation estimates start with your plans, or with a sketch if the structure is simple. We confirm dimensions, check the soil and figure out how a truck or pump will reach the forms. Trenches are excavated to firm, undisturbed ground. Footings are formed and poured with the bar specified. Walls are set plumb, braced and filled. On-grade slabs for garages and porches sit on compacted gravel at the thickness the plan states. We build foundations for sunrooms, room additions, attached and detached garages and covered porches around Alsip and the nearby towns.
