Concrete footings in Anaheim CA - a solid base that carries the weight above
Planning a patio cover, addition or wall that needs footings? We dig, form and pour a solid base built to your plans.
What do concrete footings involve in Anaheim?
Concrete footings are the buried concrete pads and strips under a patio cover, addition, wall or column that carry the weight of everything above down into the soil, and we dig, form and pour them for homes and small properties in Anaheim.
Most people call us when they're adding a patio cover, a room or a wall and need something solid under it, or when their plans call for footings and they aren't sure what that means. If an existing house has settled and needs lifting, foundation raising is likely the job you're after instead. The price mostly comes down to how many feet of footing your plans call for, how big each one is and how hard the digging is, and the schedule turns more on the plans and the permit than on the pour itself. If the city wants a permit, we pull it, and when I come out I measure everything and give you a clear price for the work.

Talk to us about your footings
Tell us what you're building and where, and I'll come out, measure and give you a clear price for the footings.
Why people trust AJ Anaheim Concrete Contractors with footings
We start by finding out what the footings will carry and what your plans call for, because a footing dug to a guess may have to come out again. Then we lay out each one, dig it to the size on the plans and set the forms, so the inspector finds what the plans show.
Before we pour, we make sure each hole is clean and dry. Concrete standards for houses call for footing areas free of debris and standing water, so if a hole fills overnight, we clear it before any concrete goes in. It's the part nobody sees once the job's done, and it's the part I won't rush.
Questions about footings in Anaheim
How much do concrete footings cost in Anaheim?
National 2026 cost data puts installed residential strip footings at about $5 to $19 per linear foot, covering concrete, labor, digging and forms, so that's the market's range and not our price. Where your job lands depends on how many feet your plans call for, how big each footing is and how easy the ground is to dig and reach. I'll measure at your property and give you a clear price for your job.
Who draws the plans for footings on an Anaheim project?
A qualified person does, and for most project types Anaheim wants a California licensed architect or engineer, since the city's building and safety staff don't prepare plans. Budget time and money for design before you apply, and if your job needs those plans, I'll tell you early and we'll build to them. The Building Division also lists a bulletin on waiving the soils report for some residential structures, so ask them how it fits your project.
How do I schedule the footing inspection in Anaheim?
Anaheim's patio cover handout says to call for the first inspection once the footings are dug and the required hardware is on site, and the inspector checks their size and depth. When we pull your permit, we set up that visit after digging and hold the pour until it's done, and the Building Division at 714-765-5153 can tell you the current steps.
Do I need a permit for a short retaining wall footing in Anaheim?
Anaheim's list of work that doesn't need a building permit includes retaining walls no more than 4 feet tall from the bottom of the footing, unless the wall holds back extra load such as a slope or a driveway above it. Even those still need a zoning check with a city Planner at 714-765-5139. Anything outside that list goes through the city's permit process, and we pull that permit for you.
How do I know which type of footing my project needs?
Your plans tell you, because footing systems run from single pads and continuous strips to trench footings, footings built into a slab and piers, and choosing among them is part of the design. If you don't have plans yet, tell me what you're building when I come out and I'll walk you through what's usually used for that kind of structure.
Can you add footings under an existing patio in Anaheim?
Usually, yes, because we can saw out just the spots where the new footings go with concrete cutting instead of tearing out the whole patio. We dig and pour each footing, then patch around it, and the patches usually show against older concrete, which is worth knowing before you decide.
What happens when you call about footings in Anaheim?
We plan a footing job around your plans and the city's steps, so the dig, the inspection and the pour line up without wasted trips for you.
