Concrete Slabs & Foundations in Ocala

Everything that sits on your property sits on a slab. We form it, reinforce it, pour it and finish it, and we can pump it where the truck can't go.

Slab work is the core of what a concrete contractor does, and it's where the difference between a good crew and a cheap one is biggest. A slab that's out of level, under-reinforced or poured on loose fill makes every trade after it miserable, and the homeowner pays for it in cracked tile and doors that won't close. We treat every slab like a foundation, because it is one.

We pour monolithic slabs for new houses, additions and barndominiums, where the footing and the floor go down as one piece. We pour garage and workshop floors, shed and carport pads, and foundations for metal buildings and pole barns, where the anchor bolt layout and the edge thickening have to match the building manufacturer's drawings exactly. We also pour footings and stem-wall slabs for block construction, and the elevated slabs that flood-zone lots require.

The process is the same on every job: strip and grade, compact the base, set the vapor barrier and reinforcement, form to the plan, and pour and finish to the tolerance the job needs, machine-troweled for a shop floor, floated for tile, or broom-finished for a carport. We work from your plans or your building manufacturer's foundation drawings, and we work with your inspector's schedule.

Our line pump earns its keep on slab work. Deep lots, soft sand, a house going up behind an existing one, a shop at the back of five acres: those are all pours where a mixer truck would either get stuck or never get close. We pump from the road and place the concrete exactly where the forms are. If you're a builder tired of fighting truck access, that alone is a reason to call.

What goes under the slab

What is under a monolithic slab Cut through a monolithic slab: compacted fill, a lapped vapor barrier, reinforcement held on chairs in the middle of the concrete, four inches of slab in the field, and thickened edge footings poured at the same time as the floor. Compacted, termite-treated fill Thickened edge footing Poured monolithic with the floor, continuous rebar, no cold joint Steel up on chairs Held in the middle of 4 in. of concrete, not walked into the sand Vapor barrier Lapped and sealed under the whole pour, up over the footings
Every slab we pour is built this way: compacted fill, a lapped vapor barrier, reinforcement held up on chairs so it sits in the concrete instead of the sand, and a thickened edge poured monolithic with the floor so there is no cold joint where the load is.

Concrete Slabs & Foundations: what people ask first

How much does a concrete slab cost?

Slabs are priced per square foot and the price moves with thickness, reinforcement, edge thickening for a building, how much fill and compaction the site needs, and access. A shed pad and a monolithic house slab are very different jobs. Send us the plan or the dimensions and we'll quote it. The cost guide on this site explains the ranges.

Do you pour slabs for metal buildings and barndominiums?

Yes, regularly. We work from the building manufacturer's foundation drawings so the thickened edges, anchor bolts and elevations are exactly where the erector needs them.

How thick is a house slab?

Typically four inches in the field with a thickened edge or footing around the perimeter and under load-bearing walls, per the engineered plan. Garage and shop floors that carry vehicles or equipment are poured thicker.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

We work with your permit and coordinate our pours with the required inspections. For an owner-builder or a homeowner adding a shop, we can walk you through what the county needs before we start.
