Pelham’s foothill terrain near Oak Mountain means sloped lots, rock and creek drainage. We handle the grading, walls and concrete outside, and the remodel inside.
Pelham sits in Shelby County along I-65, with Oak Mountain State Park on its eastern edge and Buck Creek running through town. Established neighborhoods like Chandalar, Weatherly and Ballantrae roll across that uneven ground, so many lots slope, sit on rock, or drain toward a creek.
That’s why patios, additions and driveways in Pelham need the grading and drainage figured out first. We handle that site work in-house, build the retaining walls that turn a steep backyard into usable space, and pour the concrete, all under one licensed general contractor. When it’s time to update the inside of the house, the same team handles that too.
Common projects we take on in Pelham:
Walls and terraces that turn steep Pelham backyards into level, usable outdoor space.
Grading and drains that keep runoff moving away from your home and toward where it belongs.
Patios, driveways, walkways and slabs built on properly prepared ground.
Excavation and site prep, including sloped and rocky lots.
Kitchens, baths, additions and whole-home renovations.
Demo for old decks, structures and tear-downs, handled safely and cleanly.
Our owner is an engineer with 22+ years in the field, so every project is planned for structural integrity, durability, and efficiency.
Excavation, grading, drainage, concrete and remodeling under one licensed general contractor, so nothing falls between separate companies.
Clear, consistent communication from first call to final walkthrough, and every call returned within two business days.
We serve customers in both English and Spanish, so everyone feels confident and understood throughout the project.
Don’t see your question here? Give us a call and we’ll talk through your project.
A retaining wall, or a series of terraced walls, can create level space for a patio or lawn. We evaluate the slope, soil and drainage and design a wall built to hold. See our retaining wall services.
We look for rock during the site visit and plan the equipment and approach around it. Rock can affect cost and timeline, so we account for it in the estimate instead of surprising you later.
Yes. Solid Foundation holds Alabama General Contractor License #61703 and Home Builders License #22484, and we’re licensed, insured and bonded.

If we could give these guys 100 stars we would. We entrusted Solid Foundation Construction with a $100,000 project, and they exceeded our expectations. This project was for ministry purposes. Therefore, it was important for us to be good stewards over the entire project. What impressed us most was that they stayed on budget and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. There were no surprises, and they honored their commitments. We also appreciated their Christian values, which were evident in the way they conducted business—with integrity, respect, and genuine care for us as clients. From beginning to end, they were professional, honest, and delivered outstanding craftsmanship. Josh and his entire team were excellent to work with. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and made what could have been a stressful project a great experience. If you're looking for a contractor you can trust with a significant investment, I highly recommend Solid Foundation LLC. Their quality, character, and professionalism set them apart.Posted on Google![]()

Solid foundation is more than a business. From day one, you will be able to observe this an extension of their life work- to be a blessing to all those they serve. The attention to detail and customer service go far beyond whatever I have ever experienced. I am beyond blessed to have done business with them and have received more than what they got from me. Beyond grateful and glad they do business in Birmingham.Posted on Google![]()

After major water damage in my condo, Solid Foundations came in and absolutely saved the day. Their team was incredibly professional, always on time, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations and my place looks even better than it did before the damage! I couldn’t recommend their services more. If you need a contractor you can truly trust, Solid Foundations is the onePosted on Google![]()
