A number of our customers live in concrete slab houses. This requires a concrete slab foundation, something that can easily be done with the same precision and quality as a foundation.
If a large concrete floor is needed, in the case of warehouses, we can do a poured concrete floor. As to longevity, you can be sure that our floors are going to be around for a good long time.
When a smooth surface is required, we can also pour cement basements, which are different than concrete. Concrete is cement mixed with rocks. With cement, the rocks are left out. So if your project requires cement, when you call us, be careful not to tell us that you want concrete, and vice versa.

Repair vs. Replacement Factors
| Issue Type | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|
| Minor surface cracks | Resurfacing or epoxy injection |
| Uneven / Sloped spots | Concrete leveling (self-leveling overlay) |

For significant structural settling—common in Calgary due to our clay soil—we will assess if the slab needs to be removed and replaced to ensure a stable foundation for your home.
Yes, we are experienced concrete foundation contractors. Whether you are building a home addition, a new detached garage, or need structural repairs, we pour durable concrete footings and foundation walls.
Critical Compliance Standards
- Frost Protection: All structural work is poured below the frost line (typically 4 feet deep in Calgary) to prevent frost heaving.
- Load Bearing: Footings are calculated to support the specific load of your structure.
- Reinforcement: Heavy-duty rebar is used to tie walls and footings together.
We handle the complexities of Calgary foundations so your structure remains safe and stable through our harsh winters.
Yes, we frequently construct separate entrances for homeowners developing legal secondary suites. This adds significant value and safety to your property.
The Walkout Construction Process
- Excavation: Digging out the area to the required depth.
- Concrete Cutting: Professionally cutting a new door opening into the existing foundation wall.
- Retaining Walls: Pouring concrete walls to hold back the soil.
- Steps & Landing: Constructing durable, code-compliant concrete stairs and a landing pad.
- Drainage: Installing weeping tile/drainage to prevent water pooling at the door.
Many homeowners are moving away from carpet and opting for finished concrete for a modern, industrial look. We offer several concrete finishing styles suited for interiors.
Popular Basement Finishes
- Power Trowel Finish: A perfectly smooth, hard, and dense surface ideal for polishing or staining later.
- Polished Concrete: Grinding the surface to reveal the aggregate and create a high-gloss, durable floor.
- Heated Floors: We are experts in pouring concrete over radiant heat (hydronic) tubing to create a warm, energy-efficient basement floor.
If you are planning to install tile, hardwood, or vinyl plank later, we ensure the slab is finished flat and level to minimize prep work for your flooring installer.
Because basement projects vary widely in accessibility and scope, we calculate costs based on specific project factors rather than a flat rate.
Primary Cost Factors
| Factor | Impact on Price |
|---|---|
| Square Footage | Base material and labor cost. |
| Access (Concrete Pump) | If a truck cannot reach the pour site, a boom or line pump is required ($+). |
| Slab Thickness | Standard is 3-4 inches; structural slabs require more concrete. |
| Reinforcement | Cost of rebar or wire mesh required by code/engineering. |
