Concrete Footings in Hermosa Beach CA - Dug and Formed to Your Building Plans
Building an addition or wall and need footings? We dig and form to your plans so the next trade builds on square, level work.
What goes into a concrete footing jobfor Hermosa Beach homes and additions
Concrete footings are the shallow foundation under an addition, a wall or a deck post. On a Hermosa Beach job, the work is digging the trench, then placing and finishing the concrete in it. Most of what decides how a footing holds up happens before the concrete truck arrives, in the digging and the forms.
A footing depends on what's going on top of it, so I start with your plans and any soil report, and we dig and form to that design. The price moves with the length of the run, how deep it goes and what the ground is like. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your job.
The schedule usually turns on the city's paperwork more than on our digging. If your job calls for a permit, we handle the application and book the inspections, so you aren't chasing the office yourself.
You can count on a footing dug and formed to your plans, so call (424) 414-1585 and I'll come out and take a look.
Concrete footings for what you're building
We match the footing to what's going on it. If an old slab sits where the new footing goes, we take it out first with concrete cutting.
Strip footings
A continuous run of concrete under a wall or an addition carries the load along its whole length. We dig and form it to the lines on your plans.
Spread footings
A wider pad under a single post or column spreads its load into more ground. We set each pad exactly where the plans put it, so the framing lands square.
Thickened edge slabs
This slab is poured thicker around its edges so the edge does the footing's job, and it's common under sheds and small additions. We dig the edge trench and pour it together with the slab.

From call to cured footingfor Hermosa Beach property owners
You'll know each step before it starts. The written estimate comes first, then the permit, the forms and the grade check, then the pour, so you're not left guessing.
You call or send the form
Call or send the form with what you're building and any plans you have. I'll set a time to come out and see the site in person.
I walk the site with you
I walk the site with you, go over your plans and any soil report, and talk through what the city or county may ask for. Then you get a written estimate.
Permit, forms and grade
Once you approve the estimate, we handle any permit and book the inspections. Then we dig, set the forms and check the grade before any concrete arrives.
Pour day, with me on site
The city allows work from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with no work on Sundays or national holidays. We book the pour inside those hours, and I'm on site with the crew.
Curing and walkthrough
Before we leave, I go over curing with you. That's the wait while the concrete gains strength before anything is built on it, and I'll tell you what to watch for until the next trade starts.
Footing questions we hear
How much do concrete footings cost in Hermosa Beach?
Across the US in 2026, residential strip footings usually cost about $5 to $19 per linear foot, installed. That's a national range, not our price. An installed figure covers the concrete, the labor, digging the trench, forms where they're needed, any rebar and the contractor's overhead and profit. Rebar is the steel set inside the concrete to help it carry load, and quotes compare best when each one covers the same items.
Which footing type does my project need?
The structure you're building decides it. Shallow foundations range from strip and spread footings to mat foundations and thickened edge slabs, and each suits a different kind of structure. If your plans already show the footing, we build to them, and if you're still drawing it up, I'm glad to talk through the options with your designer.
Does Hermosa Beach require a soil report before footing work starts?
Yes. The city requires applicants to submit a geotechnical report, a study of the soil under the site, before construction starts. The city's Building and Safety Division then plan-checks proposed projects, including additions and alterations to existing buildings, before it issues a building permit. Parts of the city sit over groundwater six to 15 feet down, with underground streams running to the ocean, so order the report early, since the dig waits on it.
What causes concrete footings to settle?
Settling is the usual problem with shallow footings, and it happens far more often than the ground giving way outright. It mostly comes from the ground under the concrete. That's why I won't trim the dig, the trench bottom or the forms to save money, even though nobody sees them once the framing goes up.
How long does a concrete footing job take?
Most of the time usually goes to paperwork and curing rather than digging. The soil report and the city's plan check come before construction, and the concrete needs its curing time before anything goes on it. I'll lay out the steps for your job at the estimate, once I've seen the site and your plans.
Can you fix a house whose old footings have already sunk?
That's a different job from pouring new footings, and it's covered on our foundation raising page. When I come out, I'll look at what has settled and tell you plainly which work fits your house.
