From small garages to large custom homes, foundations of various heights, widths, and unique design are formed to our customer's specifications. We built our website to guide you through some of the different projects we've completed. We hope these pages will be informative and reflect the quality and attention to detail we put into every project.
Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality. Manchester Foundations Company Inc. is committed to assisting you with any and all forms of concrete construction projects and turning a stressful experience into a positive and helpful one.
While foundation damage is something we all would rather not experience, it does happen. Fortunately, your structure can most likely be saved as professional contractors can offer you several ways to repair or otherwise rehabilitate a damaged foundation.
Control joints are important to the structural integrity of poured concrete. They control where and how shrinkage cracks appear as well as allowing for thermal expansion of the material. Without them cracks would be random, running in unpredictable patterns, which could result in more severe damage.
If your home's foundation shifts and suffers damage, don't think about moving just yet. Instead, have a foundation contractor come over right away to assess the problem and give you a clear idea of what needs to be done in order to remedy the situation.
If you had to guess, which would you say is manufactured in greater quantities, concrete, steel, or plastic? If you guessed that concrete is the most abundant and in demand building material worldwide, you're right.
While it certainly seems counterintuitiv e, did you know that concrete was once used to make ships? Known as ferrocement ships, these vessels came into existence due to the shortage of steel during the tow World Wars.
