SLABS &
FOUNDATIONS

Garages, sheds, shops, additions — everything built on top depends on what's underneath. We pour flat, level, properly reinforced slabs that give your structure a foundation it can actually stand on.

What We Do

THE GROUND YOUR
STRUCTURE STANDS ON

A slab isn't just a flat piece of concrete — it's the load-bearing base for everything above it. We prepare the subgrade, set vapor barrier, place rebar or wire mesh, and pour to the right thickness for what you're building.

From garage slabs and workshop floors to shed pads and room addition foundations, we handle residential and light commercial work throughout the Wichita area.

  • Garage slabs — single, double, and triple car; standard 4" residential or 6" for heavy vehicle use
  • Shop & outbuilding floors — poured thick for equipment loads, floor drains installed on request
  • Shed & storage pads — properly graded and poured so your outbuilding doesn't shift or sink over time
  • Room addition footings — continuous footings below frost line for home additions and enclosed porches
  • Equipment pads — generator pads, HVAC pads, and utility slabs poured level and sized to spec

What We Pour

SLAB TYPES

Garage Slabs

Standard 4" for passenger vehicles, 6" for trucks and heavy loads. Rebar or wire mesh reinforced, control joints tooled to manage cracking, broom finished for traction. We form, pour, and finish in one day on most residential garages.

Shop & Workshop Floors

6" minimum for equipment and vehicle work. We can integrate floor drains, anchor bolt sleeves, and thickened edges for load-bearing walls. Finished to a smooth trowel or broom depending on your use.

Shed & Outbuilding Pads

Graded and compacted base, properly formed, and poured level so your structure doesn't rack or shift over time. Anchor bolts set while the concrete is wet if your building requires them.

Footings & Foundation Walls

Continuous footings below frost depth for room additions, enclosed porches, and accessory structures. We dig, form, and pour to your engineer's spec or handle the layout for smaller projects that don't require stamped drawings.

Why Choose Optimus

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Subgrade Done Right

A slab is only as good as what's under it. We excavate, compact, and grade properly — skipping this step is why cheap slabs crack and heave within a few years.

Licensed & Insured

Slabs and foundations are structural. You want a properly licensed, insured crew who knows load requirements and code minimums — not the fastest quote you found online.

No Hidden Costs

Full written estimate covers excavation, base prep, vapor barrier, reinforcement, pour, and finish. Everything in one number before we start digging.

Right Thickness, Every Time

4" for foot traffic and light storage. 6" for vehicles. More for heavy equipment. We match thickness and reinforcement to the actual load, not the cheapest option that passes inspection.

On Schedule

Concrete work has a pour window — weather, mix, and timing all matter. We schedule and execute so your project doesn't sit waiting for a crew that never shows up.

Our Own Crew

No subcontractors on slab work. The same team that formed it pours it. One crew, one point of accountability — if something's off, you call us and we fix it.

How It Works

OUR PROCESS

1
Estimate & Layout

We measure your footprint, confirm thickness and reinforcement for your intended use, and give you a written quote covering every step.

2
Excavate & Compact

We excavate to the right depth, grade for drainage, and compact the base. Vapor barrier goes down before any steel is placed.

3
Form, Steel & Pour

Forms set level and square. Rebar or wire mesh placed per spec. Concrete poured, screeded flat, and finished to broom or smooth trowel.

4
Cure & Hand Off

Control joints tooled or cut to manage cracking. We walk you through the curing timeline — when you can walk on it, drive on it, and build on it.

Common Questions

SLABS & FOUNDATIONS FAQ

A standard 2-car garage slab (20'×20', 4" thick) typically runs $3,500–$5,500 installed, including excavation, base prep, reinforcement, pour, and broom finish. Thicker pours, larger footprints, or difficult access will be higher. We give you a real on-site quote — not a calculator estimate.
4 inches is standard for residential garage floors and light storage. 6 inches is recommended if you're parking heavy trucks, running a workshop with equipment, or want extra durability. We'll tell you what makes sense for your specific use at the estimate — not just what's cheapest to pour.
It depends on what's being built on the slab and its size. A detached shed pad usually doesn't require a permit. A garage slab or foundation for a room addition typically does. We'll let you know at the estimate whether a permit is required and help you navigate the process if so.
You can walk on it after 24 hours. Light foot traffic and parking a car after 3–5 days. Full structural strength (28-day cure) is when you should start framing on top of it. We'll give you the exact timeline for your pour and conditions before we leave the job.
The three most common causes: inadequate base compaction (the slab settles unevenly), insufficient control joints (shrinkage cracks have nowhere to go), and undersized thickness for the load. Some surface cracking is normal — structural cracking (where panels shift vertically) usually means the base failed. We can assess whether a repair or full replacement makes more sense.
