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.
