Residential Concrete Services: Foundations, Slabs, and More in Indian River County
The Foundation of a Strong and Secure Home
When people think of residential concrete, they often picture driveways and patios. But concrete is also the literal foundation of our homes and properties. From the footers that anchor a house to the slab for a new garage, high-quality structural concrete is essential for safety and longevity. Right Way is a full-service concrete contractor providing a comprehensive range of residential concrete services throughout Indian River County.
Monolithic Slabs and Stem Wall Foundations
The foundation is the most critical concrete structure of any home. We specialize in the two most common types in our area: monolithic slabs, where the footer and floor are poured as one single piece, and stem wall foundations, which involve a concrete block wall built on a footer. Both require precision, proper reinforcement with steel rebar, and adherence to strict local building codes to ensure a stable base for your home.
Slabs for Garages, Sheds, and Home Additions
Expanding your living or storage space often starts with a new concrete slab. Whether it’s a slab for a new detached garage, a sturdy base for a hurricane-rated shed, or the foundation for a new room addition, the quality of the concrete work is paramount. A professionally poured slab ensures a level, strong, and moisture-resistant floor for whatever structure you build on top of it.

Specialized Concrete Pads and Structures
Our residential concrete services also cover a wide variety of other essential projects. This includes pouring concrete pads for whole-home generators and HVAC equipment, which require a stable, level base to operate correctly. We also construct sidewalks, sturdy concrete retaining walls to manage sloped landscapes, and other custom concrete projects tailored to the specific needs of your property in Vero Beach or Sebastian.
The Importance of a Professional Mix and Pour
Not all concrete is the same. The strength of the concrete mix (measured in PSI) must be appropriate for its intended use—a foundation requires a stronger mix than a simple sidewalk. Furthermore, the skill involved in pouring, leveling, and finishing the concrete is critical to its final strength and appearance. Trusting an experienced concrete contractor like Right Way guarantees the job is done correctly from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does PSI mean for concrete?
PSI stands for "Pounds per Square Inch" and it measures the compressive strength of the concrete after it has fully cured. A standard home foundation in Florida typically requires a minimum of 3000 PSI, ensuring it can withstand the load of the house.
How long does a new concrete slab need to cure before you can build on it?
While you can often walk on new concrete after 24-48 hours, it takes about 28 days to reach its full design strength. However, light frame construction can often begin after about 7-10 days, once the concrete has reached a significant portion of its strength.
What is rebar and why is it necessary in a foundation?
Rebar is a steel reinforcing bar. Concrete has excellent compressive strength (resisting squeezing) but poor tensile strength (resisting pulling apart). Rebar is embedded in the concrete to provide the tensile strength needed to prevent cracking under stresses from soil movement and the weight of the structure.
