Foundations, Flatwork and Concrete Repair
Commercial Concrete and Foundations in San Antonio
Plan Commercial Concrete Work in San Antonio
For commercial concrete work in San Antonio, veteran-owned 214 Veteran Solutions starts with the intended use, site conditions and required drawings. We coordinate slabs, foundations, sidewalks and pads within the project scope.
Foundations and Structural Concrete
- Slab-on-grade foundations
- Pier and beam foundations
- Commercial building foundations
- Foundation repair to an engineer's repair plan
- Retaining walls and structural concrete
- Grade beams and footings
Flatwork and Paving
- Parking areas and loading docks
- Sidewalks, walkways and accessible ramps
- Driveways and aprons
- Warehouse and industrial floor slabs
- Curbs, gutters and drainage channels
- Patios and outdoor areas
Concrete Repair and Specialty Finishes
- Crack repair and joint sealing
- Resurfacing and overlays
- Stamped and decorative concrete
- Exposed aggregate finishes
- Staining and coloring
- Demolition and removal of existing concrete
What Is a Separate Scope
- Structural engineering, required on new foundations and most repairs - we coordinate a licensed Texas professional engineer, and the engineering fee is billed separately
- Geotechnical soil reports, coordinated with a third-party soils engineer when the project requires one
- Locating or rerouting existing underground utilities - Texas811 locates are requested before digging
- Waterproofing of below-grade walls or retaining walls
- Landscaping and sod beyond backfill and rough grade
Our Process, From Evaluation to Cure
- Step 1 - Site walk and scope: measurements, elevations, drainage and access constraints
- Step 2 - Engineering: for foundations and structural slabs, a licensed structural engineer (and a geotechnical engineer when required) evaluates the site and specifies the reinforcement
- Step 3 - Permits and proposal: permit requirements confirmed with the jurisdiction, and a written estimate with the mix specification, reinforcement, finish and timeline
- Step 4 - Site preparation: excavation, forms, vapor barrier, reinforcement and utility sleeves
- Step 5 - Pour and finish, timed to weather and temperature
- Step 6 - Curing and inspection, with inspections where the jurisdiction requires them
San Antonio Concrete and Foundation Context
- Expansive clay soils: reinforcement and moisture treatment are specified by the engineer from soil data, not default specifications
- Drainage matters as much as the pour: water pooling against a slab edge is a common factor in foundation movement, so grading and site drainage are planned into the project
- Hot-weather concreting practices (ACI 305): early pours, set retarders and prompt curing in summer heat
- Freezes are uncommon but do happen, as Winter Storm Uri showed in 2021, so exposed exterior flatwork is specified with that in mind
- Permit and inspection requirements for new pours, foundation repairs and accessible sidewalks or ramps are set by the jurisdiction, and some HOAs add architectural review

Frequently asked questions
What type of foundation is best for San Antonio's soil?
Expansive clay soils shift with moisture, and post-tension slab-on-grade foundations are common for new construction on these soils. The right foundation for your site is determined by a structural engineer, often with a geotechnical report.
How long does a commercial foundation take?
The pour itself is short; excavation, engineering, formwork, reinforcement and curing take most of the time. We provide a schedule with the proposal.
Can you coordinate concrete demolition and removal?
Yes. Sawcutting, breaking, hauling and disposal are often needed before replacement driveways, parking areas or foundations can be poured.
What is the difference between stamped and regular concrete?
Stamped concrete is imprinted and colored to resemble stone, brick or tile. We can coordinate stamped finishes for patios, walkways and entries.
How is concrete quality protected in San Antonio's heat?
Hot-weather concreting relies on the right mix design, early pour times, curing compounds and moisture retention. Concrete subcontractors follow ACI hot-weather practices so the concrete reaches its design strength.
