What does a residential foundation service include for a San Diego home addition?
SK Concrete offers concrete foundation services specifically for San Diego homes, additions, and other structures, with three documented sub-types: residential foundations, slab on grade, and stem walls.

What the foundation service covers

SK Concrete | Premier Residential Concrete Contractor San Diego CA | Driveways, Patios, Pickleball Courts Slab-on-grade foundations are poured directly on a prepared ground surface and are common for ADUs and single-story additions.

The on-site estimate visit is where the contractor assesses which type fits your specific lot and project scope.

Questions to consider raising at your estimate
Because every home addition or ADU site is different, the on-site estimate is a practical opportunity to gather project-specific details. The following questions are editorial suggestions based on the documented service scope — they are not a published SK Concrete checklist:
- Which of the three foundation types — residential foundation, slab on grade, or stem wall — suits your specific site and addition design?
- What does the quoted scope include for your foundation project, and what site preparation is expected?
- What workmanship, quality, and materials does the warranty cover for your specific installation?
- What curing timeline should you plan for before the next phase of your addition can proceed? (The page notes full curing takes about 28 days for concrete generally.) SK Concrete | Premier Residential Concrete Contractor San Diego CA | Driveways, Patios, Pickleball Courts
- Which payment option works best for your project budget, given the documented surcharge on credit card payments?
