What's involved in putting in concrete footings?
A concrete footing is the wide base of concrete under a wall, addition or post that spreads its weight into the ground, and we dig, form and pour footings for homes in Sunrise Manor so what you build on top stays put.
Most footing calls we get at Keystone Sunrise Manor Concrete are for something new going up, like a block wall, a patio cover, a shed or a room addition, and the person calling usually has plans in hand. The price moves with how many feet of footing you need, how wide and deep your plans make it and how hard the spot is to dig and reach with concrete, while the schedule turns on the permit, on fitting the pour around the heat and on the days the concrete needs before anything goes on it. If you're putting up a whole house or a large addition, our foundation installation page covers the bigger job, and either way I give you a written quote after I've walked it, so you see what's in the price before we start.
How we build concrete footings
We start from your plans, because they set how wide and deep each footing has to be for what it carries, and I size the footings from them, not by eye. We mark it out, dig down to firm ground and clean out the trench so the footing isn't sitting on loose dirt that'll settle later, then build the forms and set the rebar, the steel bars that keep the concrete from pulling apart under load. On hot, dry days we dampen the ground and the forms before the pour without letting water stand, so the dry dirt doesn't pull water out of the fresh concrete. Nobody sees a footing once the wall is up, and that's exactly why I won't skimp on the dig or the size. If a budget has to come down, I'd rather trim the finish on what goes on top than shrink the footing, because the top can be redone later and the footing can't.
Some footings have to go where concrete already is, so we use concrete cutting to saw out just the strip we need instead of breaking up a whole patio or slab. And if your house or an old slab has already sunk, a new footing beside it won't fix that, and foundation raising is the job to ask about.
Strip footings for walls and additions
A strip footing is a continuous run of concrete under a block wall, garage or room addition, and it suits anything that puts weight along a line. It's priced by the foot, so the length on your plans is the first thing I look at.
Pad footings for posts and covers
A pad footing is a single square of concrete under one post, which suits patio covers, pergolas and decks where the weight comes down in spots. Each pad is sized for the post it carries, so a heavier roof usually means bigger pads.
Concrete footings and permits in Sunrise Manor
Clark County runs Sunrise Manor, so building permits here come from Clark County's building department, and the county requires a permit before anyone builds, alters, repairs or tears down a structure. A footing is part of the wall, addition or cover it carries, so plan on getting the permit question settled before we dig. We check which office covers your address and whether your job needs a permit, and when it does, we handle the paperwork and keep you posted. For a detached house or duplex, or a garage or shed that goes with it, the county doesn't call for special inspections or lab tests unless its building official asks for them.
Most footing calls around here are for block walls, patio covers and room additions, often in side yards too narrow for a machine, which can mean digging by hand. We're based in Sunrise Manor and do the same work in the cities around it, including Henderson and Boulder City, and if you're not sure we come out your way, just ask.
Why Sunrise Manor homeowners call Keystone Sunrise Manor Concrete for footings
I come out to look myself
I look at jobs myself, and our crew does the work with me on site. The person who measured your footing is the one standing over the trench when the concrete truck shows up.
Trained on inspected public work
I learned concrete on a municipal crew pouring sidewalks, curbs and pads that got inspected and walked on every day, and I started this business in Sunrise Manor in 2023. That habit of getting the hidden work right carries straight over to a footing nobody will see again.
Licensed and fully insured here
We're licensed and fully insured. Footing work means open trenches and a concrete truck near your walls and fences, and here it usually starts with a Clark County permit, so it's worth knowing who you've hired before anyone digs.
A footing is only as good as the plans it's sized from and the ground it sits on, so have yours handy and contact us to set up a time for me to look.

Call or send the form
Tell us what's going up and where, and we get back to you to pick a time for me to come out. If you already have plans or a soil report, mention it so I bring the right questions.
I measure and write it up
I come out, measure, look over your plans and ask how the space will be used, then write a quote that lists what's in it, from the digging and forms to the concrete and labor. That way you know what you're paying for and can line it up against any other quote you get.
We pour and clean up
Once you say yes, we sort out any permit, plan the pour day with you, and I'm on site with the crew until the footing's in and the site's cleaned up. We'll tell you when the concrete is ready for the next trade so nobody builds on it too soon.
Frequently asked questions
How much do concrete footings cost in Sunrise Manor?
Across the US, an installed residential strip footing usually runs about $5 to $19 per linear foot, and that covers the concrete, labor, digging and forms. That's a national figure, so where yours lands depends on the length, the size your plans call for and how easy the spot is to dig. I'll give you a written quote for your own job after I've walked it.
How do I know how big my concrete footings need to be?
Your plans tell you, and the sizes in the building code are only minimums. A licensed engineer can call for wider or deeper footings when the loads are heavy, the ground can't hold as much weight or a local soil report says so. If you have an engineer's drawing or a soil report, bring it to the estimate so the quote matches it.
Is summer a hard time to pour footings in Sunrise Manor?
It's harder, because hot concrete needs more water and that extra water makes it weaker and less durable. Concrete industry guidance is to pour and finish outside the hottest part of the day when you can, and it notes that wind, low humidity and strong sun cause the same trouble any time of year in a dry climate like ours. That's why we plan the pour day with you instead of taking whatever slot is open.
How long does a concrete footing need to cure in hot weather?
At least 3 days, according to concrete industry guidance for hot weather, under wet burlap and plastic sheeting or with a liquid curing compound. Curing is the wait while the concrete holds onto its water and gains strength, and those covers keep the water from drying out too fast. Build those days into your schedule before the next trade starts.
Can I pour footings for my own home myself in Nevada?
Yes, Nevada's contractors law exempts an owner building or improving a home they'll live in, once they apply to the Nevada State Contractors Board. If you sell or lease it within 1 year after it's finished, the law presumes it was built for sale or lease, so this is for a home you plan to keep. The county permit rule still covers the structure either way.
Will my new concrete footing crack?
It might get a fine crack as it dries, and a hairline crack in a footing usually isn't a problem on its own. The trouble starts when a footing is too small for what it carries or sits on loose fill, because then it moves and the wall or post above moves with it. That's the part worth paying for, more than how the top of it looks.
Other work that often goes with footings
Foundation raising
If a corner of your house has already dropped and doors or windows have started sticking, lifting it back toward level is the job to ask about before anything new goes on.
Concrete cutting
When a new footing has to run through an existing patio, driveway or garage slab, we saw a clean opening so the rest of the concrete stays in one piece around it.
