Foundation work in Weston
Half of Weston's homes were built before 1968, and the poured and block foundations from that era mostly hold up well. The calls are usually a leaking crack, an addition or a garage.
Ledge is common under Weston lots. Footings can bear directly on sound rock, and when a basement needs the rock gone, removal is priced as its own line.
The median home in Weston was built in 1968, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Fairfield (median 1960) and older than Ridgefield (1973).

Concrete foundations in Weston: questions
Do I need a permit for a foundation in Weston?
Yes. New foundations, additions and garages need a building permit from Weston's building department, and most towns inspect footings before the pour. Deck and porch footings are usually part of the deck permit.
How deep are footings in Weston?
42 inches below grade, the same as everywhere in Connecticut. The state building code sets the frost depth statewide, and towns can't change it.
What if we hit ledge digging the foundation?
Footings can bear on sound rock. If rock has to come out for a basement, we price removal openly before we continue.
