Our Concrete Expertise.
Precision-engineered concrete and structural services for residential and commercial projects across Barrie, Innisfil, and Simcoe County. We handle every project with the same commitment to quality.
Concrete Foundations
Professional concrete foundations for residential and commercial projects. From new builds to additions, we provide structural bases engineered for Ontario's demanding climate and soil conditions.
- Engineered Footings
- Structural Integrity
- Ontario Building Code Compliant
How long does a concrete foundation take to pour?
Most residential foundations are poured in one to two days depending on size and complexity. Curing typically takes 7 to 28 days before backfilling.
Do you pull permits for concrete foundations in Barrie and Innisfil?
Yes. Stonekrete handles all permit applications for foundation work across Barrie, Innisfil, and Simcoe County.
ICF (Insulated Concrete Forming)
Modern, energy-efficient foundation solutions using Insulated Concrete Forms. ICF provides superior thermal performance, sound dampening, and industry-leading structural strength for custom homes and additions.
- Energy Efficiency
- Superior Insulation
- Quiet & Durable
What is ICF construction?
Insulated Concrete Forming (ICF) uses stay-in-place foam forms filled with concrete. The result is a wall system with exceptional insulation, structural strength, and soundproofing that significantly outperforms traditional poured concrete or wood-frame walls.
Is ICF more expensive than poured concrete foundations?
ICF has a higher upfront cost than standard poured foundations, but the energy savings, reduced HVAC load, and long-term durability typically offset the difference within a few years.
Helical Piles
In-house helical pile installation for sites where traditional foundations aren't feasible. Certified crew, company-owned equipment. No subcontractors, no coordination gaps, immediate load-bearing capacity with zero curing time.
- Immediate Load Capacity
- No Curing Time
- In-House Crew & Equipment
What are helical piles used for?
Helical piles are used when soil conditions such as soft soil, high water tables, or unstable ground make traditional poured footings unreliable. They provide immediate load-bearing capacity without waiting for concrete to cure.
Do you use subcontractors for helical pile installation?
No. Stonekrete operates fully in-house with a certified crew and company-owned equipment. One team quotes and installs the work: no scheduling gaps, no cost markups, no accountability gaps.
Concrete and Drainage
Integrated concrete and drainage solutions designed to protect your property. We install interior and exterior drains, catch basins, and sump systems to manage water effectively and safeguard your foundation.
- Stormwater Control
- Interior Drains
- Sump Pit Install
What drainage systems does Stonekrete install?
We install interior weeping tile, exterior drainage tile, catch basins, sump assemblies, and laser-leveled slab pours for residential and commercial properties across Simcoe County.
How do I know if my foundation needs drainage work?
Signs include water pooling near your foundation, damp basement walls, efflorescence (white mineral deposits), or a sump pump that runs constantly. We offer assessments across Barrie, Innisfil, and Orillia.
Waterproofing
Complete basement waterproofing to prevent leaks and moisture damage. Our multi-stage process includes exterior excavation, membrane application, and weeping tile installation for permanent protection.
- Exterior Excavation
- Crack Injection
- Moisture Barrier
What is exterior basement waterproofing?
Exterior waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation, applying a waterproof membrane to the exterior wall, and installing weeping tile at the footing level. It's the most comprehensive and permanent waterproofing solution.
How long does basement waterproofing last?
A properly installed exterior waterproofing system typically lasts the lifetime of the structure. Interior solutions like crack injection are targeted repairs with a shorter expected lifespan.
Underpinning
Structural underpinning to lower your basement floor and increase living space. We provide professional engineering and safe execution to add ceiling height and value to your home.
- Basement Lowering
- Building Support
- Enhanced Living Space
What is underpinning and why is it done?
Underpinning lowers a basement floor by excavating below the existing foundation and pouring new concrete footings at a deeper level. It's done to increase ceiling height, add a livable basement, or reinforce a failing foundation.
Is underpinning covered by permits in Barrie and Innisfil?
Yes. Underpinning requires structural engineering drawings and building permits. Stonekrete coordinates both and handles the permit process as part of every underpinning project.
