Home › Service Areas › Tolleson › Concrete Footings
Footings are the part of the job nobody sees once it's done — but they're what everything above them depends on. We pour engineered footings throughout Tolleson, from the I-10 industrial corridor to the Tolleson historic core.
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 Tolleson Property Owners Choose Cortez Concrete for Concrete Footings
Footings need to be sized for the load above them and dug below Tolleson's frost-irrelevant but often caliche-laden soil to reach stable bearing capacity. Tolleson's mix of residential neighborhoods and industrial development means more slab and light-commercial flatwork demand than a purely residential city.
Here's what our process accounts for:
- Reinforcement, rebar sizing and spacing, matched to structural plans
- Experience with continuous, spread, and pier footings for various structure types
- Footing width and depth engineered for your structure's load and local soil conditions
- Proper concrete cover over rebar for long-term corrosion resistance
Our 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 Tolleson
Tolleson permits through the City of Tolleson, whose mix of residential neighborhoods and industrial development means more slab and light-commercial flatwork than a purely residential city.
The industrial corridor drives demand for heavier-duty slabs and loading areas alongside standard residential driveways and patios.
That local knowledge is the difference between footing work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Tolleson property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.
The Family Behind Every Tolleson Pour
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 Tolleson and 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.
