Concrete Footings in Glendale, AZ

Home › Service Areas › Glendale › Concrete Footings

Whether it's footings for a new foundation, a retaining wall, or a patio cover, Cortez Concrete builds them to the load and depth your structure needs, throughout Glendale including near Sahuaro Ranch and Westgate.

We're a third-generation, family-owned concrete company built on the kind of work ethic you'd expect from a business run by a working firefighter — precise, dependable, and built to hold up under pressure.

Why Glendale Property Owners Choose Cortez Concrete for Concrete Footings

Footings need to be sized for the load above them and dug below Glendale's frost-irrelevant but often caliche-laden soil to reach stable bearing capacity. Glendale mixes established mid-century neighborhoods with narrower driveways against newer master-planned communities in the north end of the city, each with different access and grading needs.

Here's what our process accounts for:

Proper concrete cover over rebar for long-term corrosion resistance
Experience with continuous, spread, and pier footings for various structure types
Excavation through caliche and rocky soil common in Glendale without compromising bearing depth
Reinforcement, rebar sizing and spacing, matched to structural plans
Coordination with structural engineers on footing design for custom or additions work

Local Knowledge for Concrete Footings in Glendale

Glendale permits through the City of Glendale, spanning established mid-century neighborhoods with narrow original driveways and newer communities in the north end.

The Arrowhead area's newer subdivisions carry HOA standards, while the historic downtown core has older concrete that's now well past its service life.

That local knowledge is the difference between footing work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Glendale property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.

Three Generations of Family-Owned Arizona Concrete

Cortez Concrete isn't a franchise or a fly-by-night crew. We're a family business, now in our third generation, built on the same values our grandfather started with — showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. Our owner still works as an active firefighter, and that same sense of discipline, safety, and attention to detail carries over into every project we pour in Glendale and across the Valley.

When you hire Cortez Concrete, you're not hiring a sales team — you're hiring a family that's put its name on Arizona concrete for decades.
