Colorado's Front Range is unlike anywhere else in the country  and its soil knows it. From the expansive clay soils of the Denver metro to the wind-scoured floodplains of Weld County and the rocky mountain-edge terrain of Boulder and El Paso, every community along the Front Range presents its own unique challenges for foundations. Settlement, heaving, lateral movement, and moisture infiltration don't follow a map but Fort August Foundations does.

We provide residential foundation repair, commercial foundation services, new construction foundation work, and comprehensive foundation inspections to homeowners and businesses stretching from Fort Collins in the north all the way down through Colorado Springs and Pueblo in the south. Wherever you are along the Front Range, our crews understand the local geology, the seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, and the specific soil conditions that affect your property. Use the county and city navigation on this page to find service information specific to your area or call us today for a free inspection.

When you hire Fort August Foundations, you're not hiring a specialty subcontractor who hands you off the moment the job gets complicated. We are a complete, end-to-end solution for everything above and below grade — foundation repair, new construction foundations, egress doors and windows, and concrete flatwork, all under one roof, all delivered by the same trusted crew. No juggling multiple contractors. No finger-pointing between trades when something doesn't line up. No gaps in accountability. From the first inspection through the final pour, Fort August Foundations manages every phase of your project with the expertise, equipment, and manpower to see it through completely. Whether your project is straightforward or layered with complexity, you'll have one point of contact, one standard of quality, and one company standing behind every inch of the work — inside and out.

Every Foundation Service Your Property Needs

No two foundation problems are the same, and no two properties along the Front Range are the same either. Fort August Foundations offers the full spectrum of foundation services — so whether you're a homeowner noticing cracks for the first time or a developer breaking ground on a new commercial project, we have the expertise and equipment to get it right.

Professional Foundation Inspections

Buying a home? Selling one? Noticing something that doesn't look right? A professional foundation inspection from Fort August Foundations gives you clarity, documentation, and peace of mind. Our inspectors assess every accessible component of your foundation system, identify current damage and risk factors, and deliver a clear written report. We also offer pre-listing inspections for sellers and buyer's inspection support for real estate transactions across all Front Range communities.

Residential Foundation Repair

Colorado homes face relentless pressure from expansive soils that swell with moisture and shrink in dry spells. If you're seeing cracks in drywall, sticking doors, uneven floors, or gaps around windows and frames, your foundation may be shifting. Fort August Foundations diagnoses the root cause — not just the symptom — and delivers lasting repairs using proven methods including steel pier systems, helical piers, wall anchors, carbon fiber straps, and crawl space encapsulation. We work on slab-on-grade, basement, and crawl space foundations across every community we serve.

Common issues we repair:

  • Foundation settlement and sinking
  • Bowing or cracking basement walls
  • Crawl space moisture and structural failure
  • Slab heaving from expansive clay
  • Stair-step cracks in brick or block

Commercial & Industrial Foundation Repair

A compromised foundation in a commercial building isn't just a structural problem — it's a liability, a business disruption, and a code compliance issue. Fort August Foundations works with property managers, building owners, engineers, and general contractors across the Front Range to assess, plan, and execute commercial foundation repairs with minimal disruption to operations. We handle everything from small retail strip centers to large industrial warehouses, and we provide the documentation your insurance carrier, lender, or inspector requires.

Industries we serve:

  • Retail and office buildings
  • Warehouses and distribution centers
  • Multi-family residential (apartments, HOAs)
  • Municipal and government facilities
  • Agricultural and rural commercial structures

New Construction Foundation Services

Getting your foundation right from the start is the most important investment you'll make in a new build. Fort August Foundations partners with homebuilders, custom home clients, and commercial developers to design and construct foundations suited to the specific soil conditions of your site. We conduct pre-construction soil analysis, recommend the appropriate foundation system, and manage the pour or installation from start to finish — so your structure stands firm for generations.

New construction services include:

  • Full basement and stem wall construction
  • Slab-on-grade construction
  • Helical pile and pier installation for challenging soils
  • Pre-pour inspections and soil bearing assessments
  • Builder warranty support and documentation

Egress Door & Window Installation

Adding an egress door or window to your basement isn't just a code requirement — it's one of the smartest investments you can make in your home's safety, livability, and resale value. Colorado building codes require egress openings in any basement used as a sleeping area, and buyers increasingly expect finished, light-filled lower levels. Fort August Foundations handles the entire process: excavation, foundation cutting, window well installation, proper drainage, and finishing — so the job is done right the first time without compromising your foundation's structural integrity.

Because we're foundation specialists first, we understand exactly how to cut into a foundation wall without weakening it, how to waterproof the new opening against Colorado's wet-dry cycles, and how to integrate the window well drainage into your existing or new drainage system. It's work that requires precision, and it's work we do every day across the Front Range.

Egress services include:

  • Basement egress window installation (new cut-ins)
  • Egress door and areaway installation
  • Window well excavation and sizing
  • Window well drainage and waterproofing
  • Concrete cutting and foundation wall modification
  • Cover and grate installation
  • Permit coordination and code compliance

 

Concrete Flatwork Repair & Replacement

Cracked driveways, sunken sidewalks, uneven patio slabs, and deteriorating garage floors aren't just eyesores — they're safety hazards and early warning signs of the same soil movement that threatens your foundation. Fort August Foundations handles concrete flatwork repair and replacement across the Front Range, bringing the same soil knowledge and precision we apply to foundation work to every horizontal concrete surface on your property.

Because we understand what's happening beneath the slab — not just on top of it — our flatwork solutions address the underlying cause rather than just patching the surface. Whether the problem is soil settlement, erosion, freeze-thaw damage, or poor original installation, we diagnose it correctly and recommend the right fix, whether that's mudjacking, slab lifting, partial replacement, or a full pour.

Concrete flatwork services include:

  • Driveway repair and replacement
  • Sidewalk and walkway repair
  • Patio and pool deck slab repair
  • Garage floor leveling and resurfacing
  • Mudjacking and polyurethane foam lifting
  • Trip hazard grinding and correction
  • Stoop and front entry slab repair
  • New flatwork pours for additions and renovations

Fort August Foundations is fully licensed and insured to operate throughout Colorado, giving homeowners, commercial property owners, and developers the confidence that every project meets state standards and your property is protected from start to finish. We carry comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation coverage on every job so you never have to wonder about your exposure when our crew is on site.

We believe you deserve honest answers before you make any decisions. That's why every inspection Fort August Foundations performs is completely free and comes with zero pressure to move forward. One of our certified inspectors will assess your property, walk you through what they find in plain language, and provide a written estimate and whether you hire us or not, the information is yours to keep.

Foundation work isn't something you learn overnight. The Front Range's expansive soils, shifting seasons, and wide range of building conditions demand expertise that only comes with time on the ground. Fort August Foundations brings over 20 years of combined experience to every project experience that spans not just foundation repair, but broader construction disciplines including site work, concrete, structural framing, and ground-up builds. That wider construction background means we see the full picture of how a structure behaves, diagnose problems other contractors miss, and recommend solutions that hold up long after we've left the job site.

FAQ's

The most common warning signs include cracks in drywall or exterior masonry, doors and windows that stick or no longer close properly, uneven or sloping floors, gaps between walls and ceilings or floors, and visible cracks in your foundation walls or floor slab. In Colorado, these symptoms are often caused by expansive soils that shift as they absorb and release moisture. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a free inspection — catching foundation issues early almost always reduces the cost and complexity of repair.

Colorado's Front Range sits on some of the most expansive soils in the United States. Clay-rich soils — particularly Benton Shale and Pierre Shale derivatives — absorb water and expand dramatically, then shrink and crack as they dry out. This constant movement puts intense pressure on foundation systems. Combine that with dramatic seasonal temperature swings, freeze-thaw cycles, and periods of drought punctuated by heavy precipitation, and you have conditions that challenge even well-built foundations over time.

If you're located anywhere along Colorado's Front Range corridor — from Fort Collins south to Pueblo — there's a strong chance we serve your area. Our listed cities represent our primary service communities, but we regularly work in smaller towns, rural properties, and communities not listed here. Call us directly and we'll confirm coverage for your location.

Foundation repair costs vary significantly depending on the type of foundation, the nature and extent of the damage, the repair method required, and site-specific conditions. Minor crack repairs may cost a few hundred dollars, while full pier installation on a settling home can range into the tens of thousands. The only way to get an accurate estimate is an on-site inspection. Fort August Foundations offers free inspections with no obligation, and we provide detailed written estimates before any work begins.

Most residential foundation repairs are completed in one to three days. More extensive projects — large commercial foundations, whole-perimeter pier systems, or combined drainage and structural work — may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the inspection and estimate process. We work efficiently and aim to minimize disruption to your home or business.

Unaddressed foundation problems significantly hurt resale value and can stop a sale entirely. Professionally repaired foundations, on the other hand, typically come with transferable warranties and documentation that buyers and their lenders can accept. In most cases, proactively repairing your foundation improves marketability and protects your equity. We can provide documentation and warranty paperwork suitable for real estate transactions.

Yes. Fort August Foundations stands behind every repair we perform. Warranty terms vary by repair type and method, and we'll explain coverage clearly as part of your estimate. Many of our pier and wall stabilization systems come with manufacturer-backed warranties in addition to our own workmanship guarantee.

Absolutely. Commercial and multi-family foundation work is a core part of our business. We work directly with property owners, property managers, structural engineers, and general contractors. We provide the documentation, insurance certificates, and project management that commercial clients require.

We understand that foundation repair is often an unexpected expense. Financing options are available for qualifying customers. Ask about current financing programs when you schedule your free inspection.
