Concrete Foundations & Slabs in Exeter

Every strong building starts below grade, with a foundation or slab poured to exact specifications and reinforced for long-term stability. Concrete Innovations and Property Maintenance handles all aspects of precision foundation and slab work for small to midsize residential and light commercial projects across Exeter. Whether you're adding a garage, building an outbuilding, or laying the groundwork for a home addition, you need a contractor who understands soil conditions, frost depth, and structural requirements.

Exeter's rural character and mix of wooded lots and open fields mean varied soil types and drainage challenges. Properly engineered foundations account for these factors, ensuring your structure sits on a stable, level base that resists settling and cracking. Research indicates that concrete slabs poured with proper compaction and reinforcement last 50 years or more without major repair. That longevity makes concrete the foundation material of choice for builders, architects, and homeowners who value reliability.

The team manages every phase—excavation, formwork, grading, steel placement, pouring, and finishing—so your project moves forward on schedule and on budget. From garage slabs to shed foundations and small commercial pads, you receive turnkey service backed by local expertise and a commitment to structural integrity.

Exeter's inland location subjects foundations to deep frost penetration in winter and significant moisture fluctuations in spring and fall. A properly poured slab includes compacted subbase, vapor barrier, steel reinforcement, and a finish that meets or exceeds code requirements. Even small errors in grading or form alignment can lead to cracking, uneven floors, or drainage problems that compromise the entire structure. Industry standards require footings below the frost line—typically 48 inches in Rhode Island—to prevent heaving.

Site preparation begins with soil testing and excavation to stable subgrade. Forms are built to exact dimensions, and reinforcement is placed according to engineering specifications. The concrete mix itself is tailored for climate and load requirements, ensuring proper curing even during temperature swings. Whether you're building a detached garage, a workshop, or a small retail space, you'll benefit from a foundation that supports your investment for decades.

Structural and non-structural slabs are both within scope, including slabs for additions, pole barns, equipment storage, and more. Each project includes coordination with inspectors and adherence to local codes.
