Foundation Construction In Greensboro

The foundation is typically one of the first things to be installed during the construction process, and it is usually placed after the site has been cleared and prepared. Once the site has been excavated and leveled, the foundation can be built. In Greensboro about 80% of the foundations we build are crawlspace foundations, but we work with slabs, pier foundations, and basement foundations as well. Choosing the right foundation for your property means understanding your wants and needs, but also the type of soil, if you are in a flood prone area, and the design of your building. Apex Excavating & Construction Services has years of experience building foundations and during our free consultation we can explain your options and help you select the right foundation.

The three most common foundations we build are:

1. Crawlspace Foundations: Crawlspace foundations are a popular choice in Greensboro because they are affordable, and can protect your home from moisture and pests by allowing proper ventilation. Crawlspace foundations offer easy access to utilities such as plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC. This makes repairs and maintenance easier and more cost-effective, and can also help avoid major disruptions to daily life.
2. Basement Foundations: Basement foundations are a cost effective way to add more living space to your home without expanding your home’s footprint. While they are a cost effective way to get living space, in terms of foundations they come with one of the largest price tags. If your property is flood prone or has a high water table, a basement foundation might not be the best choice because of their susceptibility to water damage and movement.
3. Slab Foundations: Slab foundations are relatively easy to build and are very cost effective compared to other foundation types. While they may be a good choice from a budgetary standpoint, they are vulnerable to cracking and settling and they don’t provide any room for repairs and maintenance, which can make them more expensive in the long run.
