Foundations in La Jolla, CA.
Foundations for La Jolla homes, done by an experienced San Diego County concrete crew. Foundations are the part of a build no one sees and everyone pays for if it is wrong. We pour to engineered specs every time, slab-on-grade for ADUs and additions, stem-wall and post-and-pier where the lot calls for it, with rebar schedules and footing depths matched to San Diego County code and the soil report..
Why is foundations different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal foundations near the bluffs have to manage salt-air corrosion of rebar and lateral pressure from beach-sand soils. We use epoxy-coated rebar within a half mile of the coast and engineer footings to coastal soil reports.

Epoxy-coated rebar, salt-tolerant penetrating sealers, and decorative finishes (acid stain, exposed aggregate, stamped) are the working standard. Standard galvanized bar rusts through within ten to fifteen years on ocean-facing slabs here..
