Omaha’s Leading Garage Addition Foundation Contractor

Are you looking for a leading foundation contractor in the Omaha area for a garage addition? We’re glad you’re here! Barrett Contracting has been a trusted local contractor for six decades, and our professionals pour solid concrete foundations for attached garage additions. When you attach a garage to your Omaha house, the new foundation has to tie into your home's existing footing, carry the ongoing weight of parked vehicles, and hold up over decades of use.

What a New Garage Foundation Actually Involves

  1. A site visit to walk the footprint and map exactly where the new footing will connect to your home's existing foundation
  2. Clearing and prepping the site, including any grading, buried debris, or slope issues that would cause problems later
  3. Pouring a footing and slab reinforced for the ongoing weight of parked vehicles, not just a thin patio-style pour
  4. Sealing and finishing the connection point where the garage meets the house, so water has nowhere to collect

The slab itself is typically poured a minimum of four inches thick, and up to six inches where larger vehicles like trucks or RVs will be parked, with rebar or fiber mesh reinforcement built in so it holds up under repeated weight over time. Once the pour is complete, our Omaha garage addition foundation contractor protects it through the curing period before backfill or framing begins.

Signs Your Attached Garage Foundation Needs Attention

  • The overhead door sticks or won't sit flush in its frame anymore
  • A crack runs diagonally out from a corner of the slab
  • A gap has opened up where the garage meets the house
  • The floor pitches the wrong way instead of draining toward the door
  • Water shows up inside after an ordinary rain
