A solid, reliable foundation sets the stage for any successful build. But lazy dirt preparation, poor forming, and rushed concrete work can cause cracks, failed inspections, and costly delays.
Too often, concrete contractors overlook these details, leaving you with bigger problems that could have been avoided.
Whether you’re constructing a new home, a detached garage, or a commercial building, you need more than just a contractor to pour concrete. You need a team that knows Houston’s local codes, handles inspections smoothly, and builds foundations that last a lifetime.
At Camacho’s Concrete Services, we know that everything starts with the slab. That’s why we take the time to prep the site properly, form with precision, and pour with the level of care your project deserves.
We're a local, family-owned concrete company based in Dickinson and serving the Greater Houston area. With years of experience in both residential and commercial concrete, we bring professional-grade quality to every job whether it’s a new home, a garage or shop slab, or a commercial build.
We make sure your foundation meets code, passes inspection, and supports the structure for years to come.
“We believe peace of mind should come standard with every concrete project. Customers deserve concrete work that lasts from a contractor they can trust.”
- Mauricio Camacho, Owner

Yes, most cities in the Houston metro area require permits for new concrete foundations and structural slabs. We’re familiar with local requirements in places like Dickinson, League City, Pearland, and Galveston.
We can handle the permitting process for you or guide you through what’s needed to stay compliant and inspection-ready.
Each slab type serves a different purpose depending on the structure and soil.
A monolithic slab combines the footing and slab in a single pour, making it ideal for smaller buildings like garages or sheds, especially in areas where the soil is stable and drainage is managed.
A floating slab doesn’t use deep footings—it "floats" on a compacted base—and is typically used for non-load-bearing structures like workshops or detached storage buildings.
A traditional slab-on-grade foundation, which has separate footings and a thicker perimeter, is most common for residential homes in the Houston area because it handles expansive clay soils better and supports heavier loads.
We'll assess your project, soil conditions, and building plans to recommend the best option.
Cracks are a common issue in Houston due to our expansive clay soils. We prevent foundation problems by compacting the base properly, installing steel rebar or mesh reinforcement, using moisture barriers, and placing control joints in the right spots.
We also cure the slab correctly and adjust for seasonal moisture conditions. This extra effort dramatically reduce the chance of structural cracks or movement.
Most residential and light commercial slabs can be completed in 2–5 days, depending on size, access, and weather. That includes prep, forming, steel, pouring, and finishing. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin and keep your project on schedule.
We install concrete slabs for new homes, additions, detached garages, workshops, metal buildings, sheds, and light commercial structures. Whether you’re a homeowner, builder, or General Contractor, we make sure the slab is clean, level, and ready for framing.
Most residential foundations are poured 4 inches thick, but certain builds like garages, equipment pads, or commercial spaces may require 5–6 inches with added reinforcement.
The correct thickness depends on the structure’s weight, soil type, and local code requirements. We’ll review your plans and site conditions to pour a slab that meets both code and long-term performance standards.
You can usually start framing 5–7 days after the pour, once the concrete reaches safe working strength. Light foot traffic is fine after a day or two, but the slab will continue to cure and harden for about 28 days.
We’ll advise you on the safest timing based on your specific project and concrete mix.
We install slab foundations for new homes, detached garages, metal buildings, shops, additions, and small commercial buildings. We also pour structural slabs for patios, covered porches, and more.
Whether you’re a homeowner or general contractor, we tailor each slab to your specs, budget, and schedule.
