Concrete Foundation Floors & Slabs in Marathon County, WI
Strong Foundation Floors Built to Last
A strong, properly installed foundation is the backbone of any structure. At RK Masonry Services LLC, we specialize in pouring basement floors, foundation slabs, garage floors, and building slabs throughout Weston, Wausau, Rib Mountain, and all of Marathon County, Wisconsin.
We use high-grade concrete mixes, compacted sub-base materials, and steel rod reinforcements (rebar) to ensure every slab has the structural integrity needed for a long life. Our team takes special care during every phase — from sub-base preparation and formwork to the final finish and curing.
Garage Floor Installation
A properly installed concrete garage floor adds value to your home and provides a durable surface for parking, storage, and recreation. We can finish your garage floor with a broom finish for safety, or prepare it for an epoxy coating or decorative finish.
Basement Floor Slabs
Whether you're building a new home or replacing an old basement floor, we'll ensure the concrete is poured with proper thickness, drainage considerations, and a smooth finish ready for your interior finishing work.

We properly compact the sub-base, install gravel or crushed stone, and use vapor barriers where needed to prevent moisture issues in your slab.
Steel Reinforcement
Rebar and wire mesh are used to reinforce concrete slabs, preventing cracking and providing structural integrity for heavy loads.
Quality Concrete Mix
We use properly specified concrete mixes for the Wisconsin climate — ensuring your foundation floor resists freeze-thaw cycles and stands the test of time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How thick should a concrete garage floor be?
For a standard residential garage, a 4-inch thick concrete slab is typical. For heavier vehicles, equipment, or commercial use, we recommend 5–6 inches with rebar reinforcement. We'll assess your specific needs and recommend the right thickness during your free estimate.
How long does a concrete garage floor or basement slab last?
A properly installed concrete slab can last 50+ years. The key factors are sub-base preparation, adequate thickness, proper reinforcement, and a quality concrete mix suited to Wisconsin's climate conditions.
Do I need rebar in my garage floor slab?
Yes — we install rebar or wire mesh reinforcement in all of our slab projects. Reinforcement prevents cracking, keeps slabs together if they do crack, and allows the concrete to handle heavier loads over time. It is not optional on a properly built slab.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete garage floor?
We recommend waiting at least 7 days before light vehicle traffic and 28 days before heavy vehicles or trucks. Driving on concrete too soon can cause surface damage and reduce the slab's long-term strength.
What is the difference between a basement floor and a foundation slab?
A basement floor is poured inside an existing foundation to create a finished interior floor surface. A foundation slab (or slab-on-grade) is a single concrete layer poured directly on prepared ground that serves as both the floor and the structure's base. Both require proper sub-base preparation, reinforcement, and the right concrete mix.
