Home › Service Areas › Goodyear › 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 Goodyear including near Estrella Mountain Ranch and Palm Valley.
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 Goodyear Property Owners Choose Cortez Concrete for Concrete Footings
Footings need to be sized for the load above them and dug below Goodyear's frost-irrelevant but often caliche-laden soil to reach stable bearing capacity. Goodyear mixes active-adult master-planned communities with family subdivisions built on reclaimed desert and former agricultural land, so base conditions vary by pocket.
Here's what our process accounts for:
- Proper concrete cover over rebar for long-term corrosion resistance
- Coordination with structural engineers on footing design for custom or additions work
- Reinforcement, rebar sizing and spacing, matched to structural plans
- Footing width and depth engineered for your structure's load and local soil conditions
Our Step-by-Step Concrete Footings Process
- Plan Review — We confirm footing size, depth, and reinforcement from your structural plans.
- Excavation — Dug to the required depth and bearing conditions, including through rocky or caliche soil.
- Forming & Rebar — Forms and reinforcement set to exact structural specifications.
- Pour & Finish — Footings poured and finished, ready for stem wall, foundation, or post construction above.
- Inspection & Backfill — Coordinated for any required inspection before backfill.

Local Knowledge for Concrete Footings in Goodyear
Goodyear permits through the City of Goodyear, spanning active-adult communities like PebbleCreek and family subdivisions on former desert and farmland.
Base conditions vary by pocket across Goodyear depending on whether a neighborhood sits on reclaimed desert or old agricultural ground.
That local knowledge is the difference between footing work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Goodyear property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.
The Family Behind Every Goodyear Pour
We're not a franchise or a rotating crew of subcontractors. Cortez Concrete is a third-generation family business, run on the values our grandfather started with — show up, do it right, and stand behind it. With an active firefighter at the helm, that discipline and attention to safety shows up in every Goodyear-area project we pour across the Valley.
Hire Cortez Concrete and you're working directly with the family whose name is on the truck — not a call center, and not a crew you'll never see again.
