I was so impressed with the professionalism of this company! My initial phone call was returned quickly and Brandin answered all the questions I had written down before I asked them! Everything was so detailed, there was no doubt exactly what we were getting for the base of our shed. He sent us the estimate with in 24 hours. (It was even a Sunday!) He gave us a week with a tentative date pending on weather. He contacted us to confirm both date and time. He let us know that he was on his way with his ETA. He had to squeeze thru a 48 inch gate on a slope with his “dumper”. No damage to the grass or fence. No mess left in the yard. They even neatly put the grass they removed for the timbers on the side of our house .i just can’t say enough how pleased we are with the efficiency, kindness and great job these 2 men did! Highly recommend them for any job they may offer! Finally a company that is proud of there work!Posted on Greg CollegeSeptember 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys nailed it. I found myself in a pinch with regards to time, and they worked me in fast. Got a nicely-done pad for my new shed. They worked quickly, communicated well, cleaned up after, and just did an all-around great job with everything. Excavated, installed timbers, reinforced the whole thing with rebar, construction liner, poured the stone and vibro compacted it all into place in like 2 hours. I will happily reach out to them with any future needs.Posted on Mary ValkoJune 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The communication was great. Highly recommend them for any excavation projects you may have coming up.Posted on Michelle PleskachMarch 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Frequently Asked Questions
We offer a range of concrete solutions depending on your project:
🏠 Concrete Slab Foundations – Ideal for sheds, detached garages, and small buildings
🦶 Concrete Footers – For structures that require deeper support
The best concrete foundation for your shed or garage depends on factors like soil conditions, structure weight, and local building codes. In Northeastern Ohio, a concrete slab foundation is the most popular choice because it provides a stable, long-lasting base that withstands freeze-thaw cycles.
Site Preparation – Excavation, grading, and compaction to prevent settling
Forming & Reinforcement – Custom-built forms, rebar, and mesh for added strength
Precision Pouring – Expertly mixed and leveled concrete for a flawless finish
Finishing & Curing – Smoothed, cured, and ready for your structure. Our concrete work is built to ensuring a rock-solid foundation for your investment.
For a shed foundation, a 4-inch thick concrete slab is typically sufficient, while a detached garage or heavier structure may require a 6-inch slab. All of our concrete shed pads are wire mesh reinforced. Larger pads require rebar reinforcement.
At MAXTERRA, we ensure that every concrete foundation meets or exceeds your local building requirements, providing durability and longevity for your outdoor structure.
A concrete slab foundation typically takes 24-48 hours to set before you can walk on it and 7 days to reach about 70% of its full strength. However, a full 28-day curing period is recommended before placing heavy loads like a shed or garage on top. Our team ensures proper curing techniques to prevent cracking and maximize strength, so your foundation is built to last.
Permit requirements for concrete shed and garage foundations vary by city and township in Northeastern Ohio. Many areas require a permit for foundations over a certain size or thickness, especially for garages or larger structures.
At MAXTERRA, we help homeowners navigate local regulations to ensure your foundation meets all building codes and zoning requirements. Contact us for expert guidance on permits in your area.
