Concrete footings that start with your soil
At J&R Santa Rosa Concrete Construction, footings are the concrete we form and pour under the walls of a new house or an addition. Shallow spread footings, the usual kind, are easily damaged by expansive soil, the clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks as it dries, so the footing has to fit the ground it sits in.
That's why I ask what soil you have before we form anything. On expansive soil or uncertified fill, the city's permit checklist calls for a geotechnical engineer to design the foundation, and that step usually moves the price and the start date most. I also ask for your survey early, because if none went in with the permit, the inspector needs one at the first inspection.
What kind of footing your job needs
Get a quoteStandard footings
Where the soil is stable, a standard footing usually works, and we form it, set the rebar, the steel that holds it together, and pour.
Engineered footings
We build to the engineer's plan when the soil calls for one. City reports flag the soil around Coffey Park, where an engineer's update letter is the minimum.
Footings for an addition
Adding a room means a footing that runs along the existing house, and where it crosses a patio or driveway, we open it up with concrete cutting first.
Raising a settled house
If your house already sits on footings that have sunk, new footings may not be the answer, and foundation raising can bring it back up.

Why owners hire us for footings
I'm there for the pour
I come out to every estimate and I'm on site on pour day, and our own crew does the work. I spent years on other crews before starting this business in 2021.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured. When you compare bids, ask every contractor for a state license and, inside Santa Rosa city limits, an active city business license.
We handle the permit
Santa Rosa requires a permit unless the code exempts the work, so I check with the city's Building Division before we bid. When one's needed, we apply and meet the inspector.
