Strong, Stable Foundations for Porches, Sunrooms & Gazebos

Planning to add a porch, sunroom, or gazebo to your home? Start with a foundation that guarantees long-term stability and lasting performance. At Screw Pile Installers, we provide helical pile foundations engineered for lightweight structures that demand precise, level, and durable support. Serving homeowners and contractors across British Columbia and Alberta, we deliver permanent solutions for every soil, season, and site condition.
Helical piles provide a cleaner, faster, and more precise alternative to concrete footings—perfect for tie-ins to existing homes where space, soil, or access can be challenging.

Perfect Foundations for Outdoor Living Structures

Porches, sunrooms, and gazebos require a foundation that won’t shift, settle, or crack—especially in Canada’s variable climates. Helical piles provide a superior alternative to concrete footings by anchoring deeply below the frost line for year-round stability.
Whether you’re building from scratch or retrofitting an existing space, Screw Pile Installers ensures your structure stands solid, level, and secure for decades to come.

Our Process

How Our Helical Pile Process Works

We make foundation installation simple, efficient, and mess-free—keeping your outdoor project on schedule and on budget.
[01]
Site Assessment & Engineering Review
We start by reviewing your structural plans and assessing soil conditions to determine the right pile size, spacing, and load requirements for your structure.
[03]
Installation
Using compact hydraulic drive heads, our certified installers screw each pile into the ground until reaching the required torque—confirming proper depth and bearing capacity.
[05]
Bracket or Beam Attachment
Once the piles are verified, we attach adjustable brackets or beams, forming a level, stable base ready for framing, decking, or enclosure.
[02]
Layout & Marking
Each pile location is precisely marked to align with beam placement and ensure balanced load distribution under your porch or sunroom frame.
[04]
Load Testing & Verification
We conduct on-site torque and load testing to validate that every pile meets or exceeds engineering specifications for your project.
[06]
Final Inspection & Cleanup
Before wrapping up, we perform a quality check and leave your site clean, level, and construction-ready—no excavation or concrete debris to deal with.
