02 — What we do

Services

01

Concrete foundations

Full houses, additions, garages and ADUs — formed and poured straight, square and level. Your framing crew's best friend.

02

Excavation & site work

From full-lot digs to hand excavation under an existing house: grading, trenching, shoring and the groundwork every build stands on.

03

Retaining walls

Poured-concrete walls that hold back earth and hold a straight line — engineered forms, real drainage, clean strips.

04

General construction

Additions and structural work beyond the foundation, delivered with the same schedule discipline we bring to concrete.

03 — How we build

Process

01

Site walk & estimate

We walk the lot, read the drawings, and return a line-item estimate you can actually hold us to.

02

Excavation & prep

Dig, grade, and shore — the site set up so forms go in right and trucks get where they need to be.

03

Form & pour

Layout checked twice, forms braced to hold, concrete poured in the right sequence at the right rate.

04

Strip, backfill & handoff

Forms off, walls waterproofed, site backfilled — and a foundation your framers will thank you for.

AC poured the foundation for our addition. They showed up exactly when they said they would, the walls came out straight and square, and they left the site cleaner than they found it. Our framer had zero complaints — which never happens.

They handled the excavation and a retaining wall at our place. Tight lot, big elevation change, nervous neighbors — and it all went smoothly. Great communication from the first walkthrough to the final grade.

I'm a general contractor and AC is the only crew I call for foundations. Their work is consistently level and to spec, and they hit dates. On a schedule-driven build, that reliability is worth everything.

James R. 6 months ago

We got three quotes and AC wasn't the cheapest — but they were by far the clearest about scope and timeline. No surprise costs, finished on schedule despite two weeks of rain. Would absolutely hire again.

Basement underpinning on our 100-year-old house. Scary project, zero drama. They shored everything carefully, explained each step, and the new slab and walls look fantastic.
