Why Prep Work Decides the Result

Good concrete is mostly work you can't see afterward:

Grading and drainage: water must be directed away from the structure
Compaction and base: a stable subgrade prevents settling and cracking
Reinforcement: rebar or mesh placed correctly in the slab
Forming and curing: proper placement, finishing, and protection while the concrete gains strength

Georgia Soil Considerations

Much of metro Atlanta sits on red clay, which holds water and can move with moisture changes. Soil conditions, slope, and drainage all affect foundation design. For structural work we coordinate with engineers where needed rather than guessing.

Warning Signs of Foundation Trouble

Cracks wider than a hairline, especially stair-step cracks in brick
Doors or windows that suddenly stick
Sloping or uneven floors
Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors
Water pooling near the foundation or in the crawlspace or basement

If you see these, an assessment is the right next step.

How do I know if my foundation needs repair?
Look for widening cracks, sticking doors and windows, and uneven floors. A professional assessment will confirm the cause.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete is typically walkable within days but continues gaining strength for weeks. We'll tell you when it's safe to use.
Can you replace my driveway?
Yes, including removal, grading, and new placement.
Do you do commercial concrete work?
G&R is a commercial general contractor first, so slab and foundation scopes for commercial projects are part of what we do.
Do you need a permit for a slab or retaining wall?
Often, depending on size and height. We confirm requirements for your location.
