Crew placing concrete for a foundation footing beside an existing building

Concrete Contractor · Helical Pile

Helical pile foundations. Support without a full excavation.

Screw piles driven to load-bearing depth, tied together with an engineered concrete pile cap or grade beam — a foundation solution for tight sites, poor soil, or additions where a conventional footing isn't practical. One fixed price before we start.

When a conventional footing doesn't fit

Screwed in, not dug out

Helical piles are steel shafts with helical plates, hydraulically screwed into the ground to a depth and torque that engineering confirms can carry the load — no wide excavation, no waiting on concrete to cure before building on top.

We coordinate the pile installation with a specialized pile contractor, then pour the engineered concrete pile caps or grade beams that tie the piles together and carry your addition's structure.

What's included

Where helical piles make sense

Common where soil is poor, access is tight, or a conventional footing would be slow or disruptive.

Addition Foundations

Support for a new addition footprint without excavating along the full perimeter.

Deck & Porch Footings

Fast, reliable point support for decks and porches, especially over tricky soil.

Foundation Repair

Piles used to stabilize a settling foundation corner or wall section.

Pile Caps & Grade Beams

The engineered concrete work that ties piles together and carries the structure above.

Engineering Coordination

Load calculations, pile spacing and torque criteria set by a structural engineer.

Tight-Access Sites

A practical option where a large excavator or wide dig isn't possible on the lot.

Piles first, then concrete

The piles do the load-bearing, we tie them together

A specialized pile contractor drives each helical pile to the depth and torque the engineering calls for, recording the data as they go so every pile is verified, not assumed.

Once the piles are in and confirmed, we form and reinforce the pile caps or grade beam that connects them, sized to the loads your engineer has calculated for the addition above.

Crew preparing granular base ahead of a concrete pour

Base and forms prepped around the pile locations before the pour.

Pour & finish

A grade beam sized to carry what's above it

Forms go in around and between the pile heads, reinforcement is placed to the engineered schedule, and concrete is poured and finished to give your framer a level, consistent surface to build on.

Because there's no footing curing time to wait through, framing can often start sooner than it would with a conventional excavated footing.

Common questions

Before you call

What homeowners and GCs ask most before we quote a helical pile foundation.

Do you install the piles yourselves?

We coordinate installation with a specialized pile contractor and manage the project, then pour the engineered concrete pile caps or grade beams that tie the piles together.

How is this different from a conventional footing?

A conventional footing needs a wide excavation and time for concrete to cure before you build on it. Helical piles are screwed in on a small footprint and can often be built on sooner, which matters on tight or restricted sites.

How much does helical pile foundation work cost?

It depends on the number of piles, soil conditions and cap or beam design. We assess it with the engineering in hand, then give you one fixed price in writing.

Is this a good fit for a deck or a full addition?

Both. Helical piles are common for deck and porch footings and increasingly used for addition foundations where excavation is difficult or the soil is poor.

Do you need a permit for this?

Yes — like any foundation work, it needs engineered drawings and a permit, which we coordinate as part of the project.

Can helical piles fix a settling foundation?

In many cases, yes — piles can be used to stabilize a settling corner or wall section. We'll assess whether that's the right fix for your situation at the estimate.
