Concrete footings that carry the weight above them

A concrete footing is the wider base under a foundation wall or a pier. It spreads that weight into the soil so the build above sits on firm, even ground. People usually call us before an addition or a porch goes up, or when a settled wall has them asking about foundation raising.

We size each footing to what it will carry and to what a soil test shows, rather than guessing, because weaker soil needs a wider footing with more digging, concrete and labor. Your written estimate explains each of those choices. Timing turns on Auburn's building permit, which covers the foundation and which we look into early, and on the curing days after the pour.

About us

Which footing your build needs

Get a quote
  1. Continuous footings

    These run the full length of a foundation wall, so they suit an addition, a garage or any build where a whole wall rests on the ground.

  2. Pad footings

    Pad footings sit under one heavy point, such as a pier or column. If that spot is inside an existing slab, we open it with concrete cutting.

  3. Wider for weak soil

    When the soil test shows weak spots, a wider footing spreads the load over more ground. With a heavier build, a structural engineer may need to weigh in.

  4. A cooler summer pour

    In summer you can ask us to pour outside the hottest part of the day, and we keep the fresh footings covered and damp while they cure.

Why Auburn owners call us for footings

  • I look at it myself

    I come out to see the site and talk through the load with you myself, and I'm on site with our crew when the footings go in.

  • Prep first since 2023

    We've been in business since 2023, and I've always put the work below the concrete first, because a clean finish on poor prep doesn't hold up.

  • Licensed and fully insured

    Alabama's Home Builders Licensure Board licenses builders for paid home work costing more than $10,000. We're licensed and fully insured, and you're welcome to ask to see it.
