Foundation

Your Home Starts Here—Let’s Build It Right

No matter what you’re building—a home, garage, room addition, or backyard structure—it all starts with the foundation. And around here, with Tucson’s tough soil and extreme temperatures, it better be built right. At RS Concrete Contractor Tucson, we pour concrete foundations that are strong, level, and made to last. No shortcuts. No excuses.

 

Whether you’re in midtown, the foothills, or out in Vail, we know the local conditions and codes—and we build foundations that can handle both.

Types of Foundations We Pour

We work on all types of residential and light commercial projects, and we handle a variety of foundation types:

1. Monolithic Slab Foundations

The footing and the slab are poured at the same time, making it faster and cost-effective—ideal for garages, ADUs, and homes on flat lots.

2. Stem Wall Foundations

Footings go in first, then a raised perimeter wall is poured and filled with a slab. These are great for sloped lots or structures that need crawl space or extra elevation.

3. Concrete Footings Only

For decks, walls, carports, and sheds—we pour standalone footings that provide the right support for your framing or post structure.

 

Not sure what type you need? We’ll take a look at your plans or site, and walk you through the options.

New Construction Foundations

Building a new home or structure? We work directly with homeowners, builders, and architects to get your project off the ground. Our process includes:

  • Site Prep & Grading – Leveling and compacting the soil so your foundation stays stable.

  • Forming & Reinforcement – Wood forms, steel rebar, and all the right materials for your design specs.

  • Concrete Pouring – We pour at the right depth and strength, using a mix suited for Tucson’s climate.

  • Finishing & Curing – Smooth finishing, control joints, and curing techniques to prevent early cracking.

We’re there for every step of the process, from the first site visit to final inspection.

Foundation Repair & Replacement

Seeing signs of damage like:

  • Cracking around doors or windows?

  • Uneven floors?

  • Crumbling corners or flaking slab?

These could be signs of foundation problems. We offer inspections, honest advice, and repair options—from minor patching to full replacements. If your foundation needs work, we’ll explain what’s going on and how to fix it—without the scare tactics or upsells.

Built for Tucson’s Soil & Weather

Tucson’s expansive clay soils, dry seasons, and sudden rainstorms can wreak havoc on weak foundations. That’s why we:

  • Use proper soil compaction and base prep

  • Design drainage solutions into every pour

  • Follow local building codes for load-bearing and depth

  • Work with engineers when needed for custom or complex jobs

We’ve poured foundations in areas like:

  • Dove Mountain – Monolithic slabs for modern homes

  • Oro Valley – Stem wall foundations on sloped lots

  • Civano – Energy-efficient home bases

  • Sam Hughes – Add-on footings for historic property remodels

We know how to adapt to Tucson’s ground conditions—because we live here too.

RS Concrete did our new pool deck and it came out perfect. They even matched the texture and color we wanted. The crew was respectful and kept the yard clean the whole time. Feels good to hire folks who actually care about their work.

We had a cracked old driveway and thought it’d be a mess to fix, but RS made it look easy. Fast, professional, and solid work. It’s been 6 months and still looks brand new.
