Footings and stem walls in Phoenix are the part of a project nobody sees, and the part that has to be right. A footing in the wrong place or rebar set wrong fails inspection, and your schedule slides. If you're a builder or general contractor tired of chasing a concrete sub, you're in the right place. General contractors call us directly for footings and pads, and we can walk your site the same week you call.
When You Need Footings & Stem Walls
You need footings for new buildings, additions, block and garden walls, canopies, shade structures and equipment platforms. Stem walls rise from the footing to carry the building above grade. Pier footings, poured in tube forms, hold up posts and columns.
Plan ahead. Footings are the first concrete on a job, so a late footing delays every trade behind it. And in Phoenix monsoon season, from June 15 through September 30, an open trench can fill with water in one storm, so it pays to schedule the dig and the pour close together.
We pour long runs of continuous footings for commercial sites, footings and stem walls beside existing buildings, and pier footings in tube forms for posts and columns. Small jobs are welcome, like a few pier footings for a shade structure or the footing for a block wall.
Our Footings & Stem Walls Process
We work from your plans. After the site walk you get a written bid within 24 hours. We dig the footings to the plan dimensions, set the rebar cages and the vertical bars for the stem wall, and set the forms. Forms and rebar are checked before the truck arrives, and we coordinate the inspection the job needs.
We pour with a mix matched to the plans, finish and cure to spec, then strip the forms and clean up. In summer we pour early in the day, because Phoenix averages 111 days a year at 100°F or hotter, and we keep the new concrete from drying out too fast while it cures.
If you're the general contractor, send the plans before the walk. We'll come with questions about the details instead of finding them on dig day, and the bid will match the drawings line for line.
If we hit something the plans didn't show, like an old footing, rock or a buried line, we stop and get your approval before any extra work.
Footings & Stem Walls Cost in Phoenix
Cost depends on the linear feet of footing, depth and width, the rebar the plans call for, stem wall height, excavation conditions and site access. Rocky ground and tight sites take more time to dig.
Your written bid lists excavation, forms, rebar, concrete spec, finish and cleanup, and the price is fixed to that scope.
