"Hector and his team did d an outstanding job. My new driveway is beautiful. They showed up when promised and worked hard all day. They found a problem with the foundation of my house that needed to be repaired before replacing the driveway and rebuilt the foundation wall next to the driveway. I would recommend them to anyone needing concrete work done."

"Alex and his team were very professional. They guided us through the patio project and also installed a built-in firepit, custom seating around the fire pit, a built-in grill with a granite counter, a built-in pergola, and a paver installation (custom design). Finished project on time and within the agreed budget. Excellent job!!"

"<p>We have a vintage 1930's house, with a narrow driveway, 7 feet wide.  For several years, we've had problems staying on the concrete as we back up the cars, which leaves a strip of dirt instead of grass next to the driveway. </p> <p>From heavy rains, the soil was eroding considerably. The principal reason for the whole problem was that modern cars are wider than they were when the house was built.</p> <p>some of my neighbors have the same problems, for their homes were built around the same time.  Most folks have solve it by installing a new concrete or brick driveway that was wider.  Franciso Vego can do that, and quite well, but he suggested a much cheaper fix that was affordable and met our budget.</p> <p>It was installed in a day, and has worked wonderfully since then.</p> <br />"

FAQs for concrete foundation installation projects in Elgin, IL

A concrete footer is a relatively shallow column of concrete that sits below your foundation walls. Footers spread wider than the foundation, so they can support a higher amount of weight in critical spots, such as below walls. The exact dimensions of footers depend on the home, so larger structures need a larger footing.

To calculate footing size, you need to know the minimum width and depth for houses in your region. Multiplying the width by the linear footprint of the structure will give you the size in linear feet.

To convert linear feet into square feet, you can divide the width by 12. For example, an 18-inch footer is 1.5 square feet per linear foot. Multiply this number by the total in linear feet to get the answer in square feet.

Installing a pier and beam foundation costs $5 per square foot, or $8,000 to $15,000. This style is standard in homes built before the 1960s or those in flood-prone areas.

Concrete weight support ranges from 1,500 to 6,500 pounds per square inch, and footings need at least 3,500 to 4,500 pounds per square inch. Remember that your soil type, climate, and materials used will significantly affect how much weight your footings can hold, especially in certain areas.

It costs between $1,600 and $3,200 to pour a 20-by-20-foot concrete slab. These estimates are based on an average cost to pour a concrete slab of $4 to $8 per square foot. Be sure to discuss the specifics with a pro—they’ll give you an estimate of how much you can expect.

The cost to raise a house is between $3,200 and $10,000. This range refers to a form of repair that involves lifting the entire house to potentially remove the old foundation and build a new one or add to an existing one.
