The Slab Everything Else Stands On
A foundation is the one part of a build you cannot afford to get wrong. Every wall, floor, and roof depends on a level, stable, and properly reinforced slab. We pour residential and light-commercial foundations across Pearland, Manvel, and Brazoria County — from simple slab-on-grade for a garage to engineered post-tension slabs for new homes.
We work from your engineer’s or architect’s plans, follow Brazoria County and City of Pearland inspection requirements, and schedule the pour so you’re not waiting on us. Our slabs pass inspection the first time, every time.
Foundation Types We Pour
Slab-on-Grade Foundations
The standard for most Pearland-area homes and additions. We prep the pad, place the vapor barrier, lay reinforcement, set the forms to the engineered elevation, and pour to a smooth, level finish ready for framing.
Post-Tension Slabs
Used where the soil report calls for it — common in parts of Pearland and Manvel with highly expansive clay. We work from the engineer’s post-tension layout, place the cables, pour, and stress to spec after the concrete reaches strength.
Barndominium and Shop Slabs
Thicker slabs (5–6 inches) with heavy reinforcement and sometimes thicker perimeter footings, designed for the clear-span steel buildings popular across the area. We can include utility sleeves, plumbing stub-outs, and anchor bolt layouts.
Garage and Detached Structure Slabs
Whether it’s a detached garage, workshop, or pool house, we pour a slab sized and reinforced for the structure, sloped for drainage where needed, and finished for the floor you want.
Foundation Repour and Replacement
If a slab is failing beyond repair, we coordinate demo, engineered removal, and a new pour — working with your engineer to keep the new foundation up to current code.
What Sets Our Foundations Apart
- We follow the plans, not the shortcuts. Reinforcement layout, chair height, and pour elevations are built to the engineer’s spec.
- Vapor barrier done right. A continuous 6-mil (or thicker) vapor barrier under the slab — the detail most low-bid crews skip, and the one that prevents floor moisture problems later.
- Proper cure. We don’t rush the slab out of the forms before it’s ready, and we manage curing in the Texas heat so the surface doesn’t flash-dry and crack.
- Clean plumbing and sleeve coordination. We coordinate with your plumber so stub-outs land where they belong, not where someone guessed.
Foundation Pricing in the Pearland Area
Foundation pricing is quoted per project because no two slabs are the same. Factors that drive cost:
- Slab size and thickness
- Reinforcement type (rebar vs. post-tension)
- Soil prep and fill import required
- Number of plumbing stub-outs and sleeves
- Engineered thickened edge or spread footings
As a starting point, a straightforward slab-on-grade for a typical home addition runs roughly $5–$9 per square foot installed. Barndominium and post-tension slabs are higher. You’ll get a fixed, itemized quote after we review the plans and site.
Our Foundation Process
- Plan and site review — We go over the plans, walk the lot, and flag anything that affects the pour.
- Engineered quote — A written, fixed price based on the plans.
- Site prep and grading — Pad built to elevation, fill imported and compacted if needed.
- Trenches, plumbing, and reinforcement — Permits, plumbing rough-in, vapor barrier, and rebar/post-tension layout.
- Pre-pour inspection — We coordinate the city or county inspection before the pour.
- Pour and finish — Concrete placed, screeded, and finished to spec.
- Cure and stress — Proper cure management; post-tension cables stressed at the right time.
- Final inspection and walkthrough — Ready for framing.
