Concrete Foundations and Slabs
Concrete Foundations and Slabs in Benton, ME
Reliable Foundation and Slab Work for Homes, Garages, and Light Commercial Projects
Solid Foundations Start Here
At Dixon Construction, we specialize in concrete foundations and slabs for residential and light commercial projects throughout Benton, Maine and nearby areas. A well-prepared and properly poured foundation is one of the most important parts of any building, and we treat it as such.
Whether you’re starting a new home build, adding a garage, or constructing a workshop, our foundation and slab work gives your structure the stable base it needs. Our crew brings years of hands-on experience, local knowledge, and a focus on long-term durability.
From basic slabs to structural footings, we’re equipped to deliver the right solution for your property.
Foundation and Slab Services We Offer
We pour and fnish structural concrete for a range of applications, including:
Slab-on-Grade Foundations
Ideal for garages, sheds, workshops, and some residential additions, slab-on-grade construction provides a strong, level surface that serves as both floor and foundation. We ensure the base is properly compacted, reinforced, and poured to prevent shifting and cracking over time.
Monolithic Slabs
In many cases, we pour monolithic slabs with integrated footings, which combine foundation and slab into a single pour. This approach saves time and cost while delivering structural support and durability.
Concrete Footings
For structures requiring pier or wall foundations, we pour properly sized and reinforced footings that meet local codes. Whether you're supporting a deck, post-frame building, or load-bearing wall, we make sure your footings are up to spec.
Garage and Shop Floors
We pour clean, strong slabs for single- and multi-bay garages, workshops, pole barns, and equipment storage. These projects require proper thickness, slope, and finishing to handle heavy use and vehicle traffic.
Utility Slabs and Pads
We also install concrete pads for HVAC units, fuel tanks, generators, trash enclosures, and other utility structures. These smaller projects are handled with the same attention to site prep and finishing as larger slabs.
Estimates are always free, and we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee.
Our Process:
From Groundwork to Final Finish
A successful foundation or slab starts with the right process. We handle every step, including:
Site Prep and Layout
We evaluate your site for grading, drainage, and soil conditions. Once the area is cleared and measured, we lay out forms and mark elevations to ensure a level and accurate result.
Excavation and Base Installation
Our team performs light excavation and installs a stable, compacted gravel base to support the slab and allow for proper drainage. This step is essential to avoid settlement and heaving later on.
Reinforcement
We reinforce foundations and slabs with rebar or wire mesh based on the load requirements of your project. This reinforcement helps prevent cracking and adds long-term structural integrity.
Concrete Pour and Finishing
We pour and finish concrete using consistent methods for flatness, strength, and clean edges. Slope and control joints are incorporated where needed to minimize surface cracking and direct runoff away from structures.
Final Curing and Cleanup
After pouring, we protect and cure the concrete for long-term performance. We also remove all forms, smooth the edges, and leave the jobsite clean and ready for the next phase of construction.
