Comparing Foundation Types: Pros and Cons

The foundation is the literal base of your home, and at True North Custom Homes, we help you choose the right option for your lot and design. The most common types include slab, crawl space, and basement foundations, each with its own advantages. 


A slab foundation is cost-effective and works well in warmer climates, while a crawl space offers accessibility for utilities. Basement foundations, popular in Nebraska, provide extra living or storage space but require proper waterproofing to prevent moisture issues. 


Our team evaluates soil conditions, budget, and lifestyle needs to recommend the best foundation for your dream home, ensuring lasting stability and functionality.
