At Kennewick Concrete King, we don't just pour concrete. We pour peace of mind.

We are the premier concrete foundation contractor serving Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and the surrounding Tri-Cities area. Whether you are building your dream home, a new garage, or a large commercial warehouse, we build the foundation that lasts forever.


Why Your Foundation Is the Most Important Part of the Build

You can change your roof color later. You can paint your walls. You can even rip out the kitchen cabinets and put in new ones.

But you cannot easily fix a foundation. Once it is in the ground, it is there to stay.


A bad foundation leads to cracked drywall, sloping floors, and windows that won't open. Fixing a bad foundation costs a fortune. Doing it right the first time costs a fair price.

We believe in doing it right. We use laser-guided precision to make sure your foundation is perfectly level. We use the right mix of concrete that can handle our hot summers and cold winters. We build it square, we build it strong, and we build it to code.

The King of Concrete!

Residential Concrete Foundation Installation

Building a new home is exciting. It’s also a little scary. You have a lot of decisions to make. Choosing who pours your foundation should be the easiest decision on your list.

We work with homeowners and home builders all over Benton and Franklin counties. Here is what we do:


New Home Foundations

Whether you are building a cozy rambler in West Richland or a two-story house in South Kennewick, we handle the entire process. We look at the blueprints, we set up the forms (the wooden molds), and we pour the concrete to the exact specifications. We specialize in both stem wall foundations (where there is a crawl space underneath) and slab-on-grade (where the house sits directly on the concrete).


Garage and Shop Foundations

In the Tri-Cities, we love our toys. Boats, RVs, classic cars—you need a place to put them. If you are planning to build a detached garage or a pole barn shop, you need a serious slab. These floors need to be thick and reinforced with steel to hold the weight of heavy vehicles without cracking. We are the experts in concrete foundation installation for shops and garages.


Room Additions

Need more space? Adding a master bedroom or expanding the kitchen? An addition needs a foundation that matches the existing house perfectly. If the new foundation settles differently than the old one, the addition will pull away from the house. We know how to "tie in" the new work to the old work so they stand together as one solid unit.


Commercial and Business Concrete Foundation Installation

If you own a business, you know that time is money. You can’t afford to have your construction project delayed because the concrete crew didn't show up.

At Kennewick Concrete King, we run a tight ship. We work with general contractors and business owners to keep projects on schedule. You can count on us!


Metal Buildings and Warehouses

Steel buildings are popular for businesses in Pasco and heavy industrial areas. These buildings put a massive amount of weight on specific points (the columns). We design and pour reinforced footings that can handle that heavy load. We also pour the massive slab floors needed for forklifts and heavy machinery.


Retail and Office Spaces

If you are building a new office or a strip mall, you need a foundation that passes every inspection the first time. We know the local commercial building codes inside and out. We ensure the plumbing and electrical conduits are placed exactly where they need to be before we pour a single drop of concrete.


Retaining Walls

Sometimes, the land isn't flat. If you are building into a hill, you might need a concrete retaining wall to hold the earth back. This is part of the foundation system. We build heavy-duty walls that prevent soil erosion and keep your building safe.


Understanding the Tri-Cities Soil

Here is something non-local contractors might not know: The ground in Kennewick is different than the ground in Seattle.

We have a mix of sand, silt, and sometimes hard basalt rock. We also have a very dry climate with hot summers and freezing winters. This freeze-thaw cycle can destroy concrete if it isn't mixed and poured correctly.


Because we are locals, we know how to prep the ground here.


Our Foundation Process

You might be wondering what actually happens when we install a foundation. It is a mix of science, math, and heavy lifting. Here is how we do it:


Step 1: Excavation and Layout First, we dig out the shape of the building. Then, we use surveying equipment to mark the corners. We measure everything twice. Then we measure it again. The foundation has to be perfectly square. If it is off by even an inch, the roof won't fit later!

Step 2: Forming We build the mold for the concrete using wood or metal forms. This gives the foundation its shape. We make sure these forms are level and sturdy.

Step 3: The Steel Skeleton (Rebar) Concrete is hard, but it can snap if the ground moves. To stop this, we install steel bars called rebar. This acts like a skeleton inside the concrete. It ties everything together and gives the foundation incredible strength.

Step 4: The Inspection Before we pour, we call the city or county inspector. They check our work to make sure it meets safety codes. We don't hide anything. We want them to see how good our work is.

Step 5: The Pour This is the big day. The concrete trucks arrive. We pump or chute the wet concrete into the forms. Our crew works fast to spread it out and vibrate it (to get the air bubbles out).

Step 6: Finishing and Curing We smooth the top of the foundation. Then, we let it rest. Concrete doesn't "dry" like paint; it "cures" through a chemical reaction. We make sure it cures slowly so it gets as strong as possible.

Ready to Start Your Project?

Every great building starts at the bottom. Whether you are building a forever home for your family or a new headquarters for your business, you need a foundation you can trust. Don't gamble on the most important part of your project. Call the experts who know how to build it strong.

Call Kennewick Concrete King today for a free consultation and estimate. Let’s build something solid together.

  • How much does a concrete foundation cost in Kennewick?

    This is the most common question! The price depends on a few things: the size of the building, how thick the concrete needs to be, and how much steel reinforcement (rebar) is required. A simple garage slab costs less than a complex house foundation with a crawl space. We offer free estimates, so we can come out, look at your plans, and give you an exact number with no risk or obligation for you!

  • How long does it take to install a foundation?

    or an average-sized home, the process usually takes about one to two weeks. This includes digging the footings, setting up the forms, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. However, weather plays a big role. If it is raining heavily or freezing cold, we might have to pause to ensure the concrete sets correctly.

  • Can you pour concrete in the winter?

    Yes, we can, but it is tricky. Concrete contains water. If that water freezes before the concrete gets hard, the foundation is ruined. In the Tri-Cities winters, we use special additives in the mix to make it set faster, and we use insulated blankets to keep the concrete warm while it cures.

  • What is the difference between a "stem wall" and a "monolithic slab"?

    Good question!


    A Monolithic Slab is when we pour the edges (footings) and the floor all at the same time in one big piece. It is great for flat ground and is usually faster and cheaper.


    A Stem Wall is a two-part process. First, we pour a footer deep in the ground. Then we build a short wall on top of it. Finally, we pour the floor separately. This is better if your lot is sloped or if you need to raise the house up higher off the ground.

  • Will my foundation crack?

    Concrete loves to crack. As it cures, it shrinks a tiny bit, which creates tension. However, our job is to control those cracks. We use steel rebar to hold it together, and we cut "control joints" into slabs. These are straight lines that tell the concrete, "If you are going to crack, do it right here in this line where nobody can see it." While hairline cracks are normal, structural cracks are not—and we build to prevent those.

  • Do you handle the permits?

    Generally, if you are working with a General Contractor or a Home Builder, they pull the permits. However, if you are a homeowner doing a DIY garage project, we can help guide you through the permitting process with the City of Kennewick, Pasco, or Richland to make sure everything is legal.
