Huntsville Concrete Contractor › Services › Concrete Slabs
Huntsville Concrete Contractor is where Huntsville property owners request concrete slabs of every ordinary size. Tell us the dimensions, what will sit on the slab and where it goes on the lot. Request a free quote and a local concrete contractor will call you back to confirm the details.
Typical requests include a pad for a storage building, a carport floor, a generator or HVAC pad, a trash can pad by the garage, a dog run, or a slab for a screened porch or small addition. Each one is small enough to seem simple, and each one still needs the ground under it handled correctly.
Size the slab to the structure
A prefab shed or carport kit usually lists the slab size and anchor layout it expects. Share that sheet with the contractor so the slab comes out the right size and anchor bolts or embeds land where the frame needs them. For a bigger metal building or barndominium, see shop and barndominium slabs.
If the slab will be under a roof that ties into the house, ask whether a footing and a permit are required.
Grading a level pad
Few Huntsville yards are truly flat. On a sloped lot, one side of the slab may need to be built up with compacted stone or a deeper turned-down edge. Topsoil and roots come out first, since organic material rots and settles. Ask how much the contractor expects to excavate or fill, because that can change the price more than the concrete itself.
Small jobs and minimum charges
Ready-mix plants usually have short-load fees, and every job has setup time no matter how small. A three-foot HVAC pad can cost more per square foot than a large slab. Combining small slabs into one visit, such as a shed pad and a walkway to it, often makes better use of a delivery. See sidewalks and walkways for paths.
Frequently asked questions
How thick should a shed slab be?
It depends on the building's weight and what will be stored inside. Ask the contractor to recommend a thickness and to put it in the quote.
Can a truck reach my backyard?
If not, concrete can be moved by buggy, wheelbarrow or pump. Mention gates and fence width in your request.
Is requesting a quote free?
Yes. Prices are set by the local concrete contractor who looks at the job; the cost guide lists what moves them.
