Keep the old footing or pour a new one?
It comes down to what the footing carries next. An old one can handle the same load, but added weight or a different use usually calls for a new footing sized to it.
Keeping the old one works when:
- The load isn't changing
- There's no cracking or settling
- The wall above stands straight
- It was sized for your soil
- Nothing heavier is going on top
A new footing makes sense when:
- You're adding a wall or a room
- A post is going somewhere new
- The load is getting heavier
- The old one is too narrow
- The wall above leans or cracks

A visit booked
I look at the site
I come out myself, look at the ground and ask what the footing will carry. Then I write up the estimate with what's included and what isn't.
A written estimate
Paperwork and planning
If you go ahead, we check which office covers your address, file any permit the job needs and set up the inspections. If anything is on you, we say so up front.
Paperwork handled
Forming and the pour
We plan the pour day with you, then our crew digs, sets the forms and steel, and pours. I'm on site that day to answer questions.

Curing and clean-up
The footing needs time to cure before it carries weight, so we build that wait into your schedule, clean up and tell you when the next work can start.

What our concrete footing work includes
Sizing to the load
We size each footing for what sits on it and the soil under it before any digging starts.
Digging out
We dig the trench or holes to size and clear out loose dirt so the concrete sits on firm ground.
Forms and rebar
We set forms where the ground needs them and place rebar, the steel that helps the concrete hold together under load.
Cutting existing concrete
When a footing has to go through a slab, we handle the concrete cutting so the opening is clean and square.
The pour
Our crew places and levels the concrete, and I'm on site for it.
Curing and clean-up
We keep the concrete moist while it cures, the wait that lets it gain strength, then haul off the dirt and form boards.
What sets the price of a concrete footing?
Most of the price follows the size of the job. A longer run costs more, and so does a wider or deeper footing, which comes down to what it carries and the ground under it. Weaker soil needs a wider footing to spread the same load, so it costs more. If you have a soil test, it shows early how to make up for weak ground, so you see the likely size and cost before we start.
The site does the rest. A tight side yard, a slab we have to cut through or a lot of dirt to haul off all add work. Clark County has guidance on concrete in soil that carries sulfates, so ask me whether it bears on your lot. The schedule turns on any permit the job needs and on the curing wait, and your estimate spells out the rest.
Why Enterprise homeowners call us for footings
I learned concrete on a flatwork crew here in the valley and started this business in 2013. I still come out to look at jobs myself. A footing has to match what sits on it, a whole wall or a single post, so that's where I start. I'd rather lose a bid than sell you more footing than the job needs.
Our own crew does the forming, pouring and finishing. We're licensed and fully insured, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If something is out of our hands, like what your soil turns out to be, I tell you before we start. Call (702) 374-0991 or use the form to set up a visit.

(702) 374-0991Footing questions we hear
What kind of footing does my project need?
A wall needs a continuous footing that runs its full length, and a single post, pier or column needs a pad footing under that one point. The load decides it, which is why I ask what's going on top before anything else.
How much do concrete footings cost in Enterprise, NV?
Installed concrete footings across the US usually cost about $5 to $20 per linear foot. Where a job falls in that range moves with the project size, the footing's width and depth, and the site. That's the national market, not our price, so your written estimate is where you see your own figure.
How long does new concrete cure in hot weather?
Hot-weather guidance says to keep it curing for at least 3 days, under wet burlap and plastic sheeting or with a liquid curing compound that holds the moisture in. Plan for that before block, posts or framing go on, and ask us how the wait fits your plans.
Which office handles building codes for Enterprise, NV?
The Clark County Building Department does, because Enterprise isn't incorporated and the county runs it. Permit applications have to meet the county's current building codes, and the office is at 4701 West Russell Road in Las Vegas, (702) 455-3000. We check which office covers your address before we start and handle the application when a job needs one.
What causes a concrete footing to settle or crack?
Most often the footing is too small for what it carries or for the soil under it, so it sinks unevenly. Extra water added on site weakens concrete too, and guidance limits it to what the mix allows and advises against adding any once the concrete is more than 1½ hours old. If your house has already settled, that's a job for foundation raising, not a new footing.
Can you pour footings in the Enterprise summer heat?
Yes, with planning. Hot-weather guidance has crews place and finish concrete outside the hottest part of the day when possible, and a windy, sunny day calls for more care than a calm, humid one at the same temperature. We set the pour time with you around the heat and the wind.
