Interior and Exterior Concrete Slabs of Any Size
Concrete is used to make foundations for all kinds of structures. As specialists in concrete work, we are committed to providing homeowners with interior and exterior concrete slabs to make safe and attractive home environments. Whether it is a pad for a new hot tub or a concrete slab for a garage, our crew of skilled technicians can get the job done efficiently and professionally.
Quality concrete slabs start with preparation. Because we have expansive soils in Colorado, concrete slabs can be prone to cracking or settling as the soil swells and contracts. This can be mitigated by laying the proper groundwork before pouring concrete. We take great care to prep for every slab to make sure it provides a secure foundation. This starts with excavating and grading the area to a proper slope. The soil in the area is then compacted and a gravel base is added and tamped to make a smooth surface for the concrete pour. After setting and securing the forms for the slab, we then add steel reinforcement accordingly depending on the thickness of the slab. This is typically done by installing a rebar grid fit to the mold, though sometimes a mesh may be appropriate. This reinforcement redistributes weight more evenly and adds tensile strength to the slab, making it more flexible and less likely to crack over time. Our team strictly follows all city codes and regulations to ensure that all slabs are accurately reinforced. |

Once this prep work is finally complete, we pour and level the concrete. We use only high-quality concrete in our pours and our technicians are trained in mixing techniques. As the slab cures, our technicians will install control joints strategically throughout to allow for movement in places, rather than just letting the slab crack randomly over time.
