Foundations & additions in Mount Hope.
Mount Hope is approximately 25 min from the Hagersville base. Travel for foundations & additions depends on scope and scheduling. Additions, garages, barns, sheds, custom homes — if it needs concrete underneath it, we pour it. We dig it, form it, pour it, and backfill it ourselves, so there's no finger-pointing between the excavator and the concrete crew when something's off by an inch. We handle everything up to the top of the wall; your builder takes it from there.

FAQ
Foundations & additions in Mount Hope — common questions
Yes. Right by Hamilton airport. Mix of country properties and new builds — we do a lot of long laneway pours and post-build interlock here. Footings, poured walls, and block for additions, garages, barns, and custom homes.
Pricing depends on the scope. We'll quote a fixed price after a quick site visit — no upfront cost, no obligation.
About 25 min (28 km). It's a normal part of our week.
Just the concrete. We do the excavation, footings, foundation, and backfill, then your builder frames from the top of the wall up. Same for barns, sheds, additions, and custom homes — we're the crew that gets the site ready and pours what holds it up.
Yes — anything structural needs a building permit, and most additions need engineered drawings. We build to whatever your engineer specs and coordinate with the inspector, but the permit is pulled in the homeowner's name.
Poured is faster and has fewer joints for water to find. Block makes sense on tight access where a pump truck can't reach, or when you're matching an existing block foundation. We'll tell you which suits your site.
