Foundations

Excavation, footings and concrete that everything else depends on.

Foundations project by Solid Stone Masonry & Construction

What we do

Strip and raft footings, frost walls, slabs, underpinning and grade beams for additions and new construction.

We set out from the engineer's drawings, dig to bearing, place reinforcement and pour to spec with tested mixes.

Drainage, vapor barriers and insulation are built into the pour, not added later.
