Concrete & Foundation Contractor in Oneonta NY
Let’s talk about what holds this city together—and we don’t just mean the colleges. We’re talking about what’s literally underneath it. Building on Oneonta’s hillsides isn’t a suggestion; it’s a reality for almost every project here. Whether you’re up in the Sixth Ward with a view of the valley or down on Main Street adding onto a historic building, if your foundation and concrete aren’t made for this terrain and this weather, you’re setting money on fire. We’ve all seen driveways on East Street that look like they’ve been through an earthquake after a tough winter—that’s what happens when the work isn’t done for Oneonta.
Concrete & Foundations in Oneonta: Built for the Hills We Call Home
We’re Over the Top Construction. We’ve been Oneonta’s go-to concrete and foundation crew for over 25 years. You’ve probably seen our trucks navigating the climb up Chestnut Street or parked on a job off of County Highway 47. We’re not just contractors passing through between semesters; we’re your neighbors. We build and repair the slabs, sidewalks, and basements that this community lives on, and we do it with a deep respect for the specific challenges of building in the City of the Hills.
Why Oneonta’s Slopes Demand a Hillside Expert
Pouring a level slab on a flat lot is one skill. Engineering a stable foundation on a Oneonta hillside—where the soil can shift with the rain and the frost digs deep—is another thing entirely. We know which side of town has the shale close to the surface and which neighborhoods have the clay that holds water. We understand how to manage water runoff so it doesn’t end up in your basement on West Street. Our work starts with this local knowledge. We dig our footings deeper, reinforce more strategically, and design drainage that actually works for the slope of your lot. We don’t just follow the code book; we follow the lay of our land.

Foundation Installation
Building new in Oneonta? It starts with a foundation that’s anchored for the long haul. We pour foundations for new homes, garages, and additions that are engineered for our hills. That means proper footings, serious reinforcement, and a level start that won’t let your dream home start sliding toward the valley.

Concrete Flatwork That Stays Flat
A driveway or patio in Oneonta isn’t just a pad of concrete—it’s a retaining structure. We pour and finish with an eye on drainage and durability, using mixes and techniques that fight back against heaving and cracking. We build it so you’re not redoing it after a few hard winters.

Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Damp basement in an older Southside home? Crack forming in a foundation wall? In a city built on hills, water is always looking for a path. We find where it’s coming from and stop it for good. We fix settling, seal cracks correctly, and install drainage systems that protect your home from the ground up.
