At Eastland Homes, we believe that a home should be built to last — from the foundation up. That’s why every one of our homes is poured on a post-tension slab foundation, one of the strongest and most durable foundation systems available. What makes this unique?
We’re proud to be one of the only home builders in the Texas Panhandle offering this level of quality to our homeowners.
1. What Is a Post-Tension Slab?
A post-tension slab is a concrete foundation that uses high-strength steel cables (tendons) to reinforce the concrete. After the slab is poured, these cables are tightened (or “tensioned”), which compresses the concrete and gives it added strength and durability.
2. Built to Withstand Texas Soil
The Panhandle is known for its shifting soil and unpredictable weather. Post-tension slabs are designed to handle these conditions better than traditional foundations, reducing the risk of cracks and movement over time.
3. A Foundation That Lasts for Generations
Because of the added reinforcement, post-tension slabs are more resistant to soil expansion, contraction, and other stressors. That means fewer foundation issues and greater peace of mind for our homeowners.
4. An Investment in Quality
While many builders cut corners on foundations, Eastland Homes makes this investment because we know it matters. A home is only as strong as its foundation — and our mission is to deliver a home you and your family can trust for years to come.
5. One More Way Eastland Homes Stand Out
From the things you can see to the things you can’t, we put the same care and attention into every detail of construction. Our use of post-tension slabs is just one example of how Eastland Homes goes beyond expectations to deliver lasting value.
Pro Tip: When choosing a home builder, always ask about the foundation. It’s one of the most important parts of your investment, and with Eastland, you’ll know it’s built right.
