What a well-built slab foundation prevents

You can't redo a foundation once the house sits on it. The soil sets the slab, the price and the schedule, and your written estimate shows what's included.

  • Doors that start to stick

    Clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry can push a slab around, and you see it as sticking doors and cracked tile. We match the slab to the soil.

  • Corners that settle

    A pad that's raked level instead of dug out and packed settles with the dirt. We pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, until it's firm.

  • Water pooling at the walls

    A pad that falls toward the house sends rain under its edges. We check where the water runs before the forms go up, so the ground slopes away.

  • Cracks in odd places

    Concrete shrinks as it dries, so it usually cracks somewhere. We cut control joints, shallow saw lines that tell those cracks where to form, so they run where we planned.

Rebar slab or post-tensioned slab for your lot?

A rebar slab has steel bars inside to hold the concrete together, and a post-tensioned slab has cables pulled tight so the concrete stays squeezed. Your lot's soils study decides which fits.

  • A rebar slab usually works when:

    • The soils study shows stable ground
    • No swelling clay turns up under the pad
    • The lot sits outside the county's flagged areas
    • The design calls for rebar or wire mesh
    • Control joints in the slab are fine with you

  • Post-tensioning makes more sense when:

    • The soil shrinks and swells
    • The county map flags clay near your lot
    • The soils study points to post-tensioning
    • You want fewer cracks and joints
    • A faster build helps your schedule

How your slab gets built

  1. Call or send the form

    Tell us about the lot and the house you're planning, and we'll get back to you to set a time for me to come out.

    A visit on the calendar

  2. I walk the lot

    I look at the site, ask how you'll use the house and read the soils report if you have one. Then I write up an estimate showing what's included and what isn't.

  3. Permits and paperwork

    The Clark County Building Department takes permit applications. We check which office covers your address, file what the job needs, set up inspections and tell you up front what's on you.

  4. Plan the pour

    We go over the forms, the steel and the pour date with you, and we plan around heat, low humidity and wind, because they change how concrete is mixed, hauled and placed.

  5. Pour day and clean-up

    Our crew forms, pours and finishes the slab while I'm on site to answer questions. We clean up before we leave.

What our slab foundation work includes

  1. Soils report review

    We go through your soils report with you and build to the slab design that comes out of it.

  2. Layout and forms

    We stake the footprint from your plans and set the forms so the edges land where the house goes.

  3. Digging and packing

    We dig out to the depth the plans call for and pack the base before any steel goes down.

  4. Reinforcement checked

    We get the steel in place the way the design shows and check it before the concrete truck arrives.

  5. A flat, true top

    We finish the slab flat so the framing and the flooring sit right on it.

  6. Joints and curing

    We cut joints on time and keep the slab damp while it cures, the days it needs to gain strength.

What drives the cost of a slab foundation?

Size comes first, then the soil. A bigger footprint means more concrete and more steel, and a lot with swelling clay may need post-tensioning or more ground work than one the soils study calls stable. Slopes, tight access for the trucks and how much digging the pad needs all move the number too.

When a budget gets tight, the base is the first thing people want to cut, because nobody sees it once the concrete is down. I'd cut somewhere else. A slab is only as steady as the packed ground under it, and you can't fix a soft base once a house is standing on it. Your written estimate lists every part, so you can see where the money goes.

Why Enterprise owners call us for slab foundations

I learned concrete on a flatwork crew here in the valley, pouring driveways, patios and slabs, and I've run this business since 2013. Homeowners call us for slabs, and property owners call us for bigger jobs like concrete parking lot building. I come out to look at your lot myself, and I'm on site with our crew on pour days.

Around Enterprise, the county's soil map shows mostly mixed sand and gravel, with areas marked for swelling clay, steep slopes and fault buffer zones. It only shows trends, and one site can differ a good deal from it, so I want a soils study from a design professional before the slab design is set. We're based in Enterprise and work across the valley, so call (702) 374-0991 and I'll come look.

Slab foundation questions we hear

How much does a slab foundation cost in Las Vegas?

A reinforced concrete slab or foundation in the Las Vegas area usually costs about $7 to $15 per square foot. That's the going rate around here, not our price, and the soil, the slab type and the site decide where a job lands. I'll give you a written estimate after I walk the lot.

What is the best way to build a slab on expansive soil?

The post-tensioning industry says a post-tensioned slab suits soil that shrinks and swells, because the squeezed concrete resists the stress of the moving ground. It reports these slabs do better on that soil than slabs without the squeeze. If your design calls for footings instead, that's our foundation installation work.

Why do I need a soils report before pouring a slab in Enterprise?

You need one because the slab has to be designed for the ground on your lot, not the neighborhood's. Clark County's plan reviewers check that a soils report meets code and site requirements and matches the grading plans and foundation design. If you don't have one yet, I'll tell you before we price anything.

Who is allowed to build a slab foundation in Nevada?

Anyone who bids on or contracts for a job of $500 or more, labor and materials counted together, needs a license from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Concrete contracting is one of the trades the board licenses, so ask any contractor which license they hold. We're licensed and fully insured.

Can I build my own slab foundation in Nevada?

You can if you're building or improving a home to live in yourself, with no plan to sell or lease it within a year. You'll need to apply to the board for an owner-builder exemption first. If you'd rather have a crew pour it, I'm happy to come look at the lot.

What causes cracks in a new concrete slab?

Most cracks in a new slab come from the concrete shrinking as it dries, and saw-cut joints give those cracks a planned place to form. Crews usually cut them within about 4 to 12 hours after the pour, depending on the temperature and the mix, so we watch the slab, not the clock.
