Helical Footings in Chittenden County, VT
Vermont's deep frost line makes traditional concrete footings slow, seasonal, and prone to heaving. Helical footings — engineered steel piles screwed below the frost line — install in hours, work year-round, and hold load immediately. It's how we build decks and additions that never move.
