Driveways, patios and stamped concrete, and the structural side most concrete companies do not touch: footings, foundations, slabs and load-bearing beams. Poured by a Florida certified general contractor, permitted and inspected.
We got your request and will call you back shortly (Mon–Fri, 8am–6pm ET).
The short version
Driveways, patios and pool decks are the visible half of the trade and we do that work. The other half is footings, grade beams and structural slabs, and that side needs engineering, a permit and an inspector signing off before anything gets covered. Most companies that pour a driveway do not touch it.
We hold a Florida certified general contractor license, number CGC1524051, which is what lets the same crew pour your pool deck on Tuesday and the footing for your addition on Thursday, both legally and both inspected.
What we pour
Tear out the old slab, grade and compact the base, set the forms and the mesh, pour and cut the control joints where they belong so the slab cracks on the line instead of across the middle.
Broom finish, salt finish or a smooth trowel, sloped away from the house and away from the pool so water goes where it should. Coping and deck drain when the job calls for it.
Stamped, colored and scored concrete that reads as stone or paver at a fraction of the cost. Sealed properly, because in this sun an unsealed decorative slab fades in two seasons.
Engineered footings, grade beams and monolithic slabs for additions and new structures. Formed, tied and poured to sealed drawings, inspected before anything goes on top.
Concrete tie beams, columns and structural slabs: the poured work that carries load. This is the side that separates a general contractor from a concrete company, and the side an inspector looks at hardest.
Spalling where rebar rusted and expanded, cracked slabs, failing balcony edges and the concrete restoration a structural inspection required. Common on buildings past the forty-year mark here.
The part nobody redoes cheaply
Cabinets get replaced and paint gets redone. A footing poured too shallow, a grade beam without the steel the engineer called for, a slab tied into the existing structure the wrong way: none of that gets fixed without breaking it out. Florida licenses this work for exactly that reason.
Anything that carries load has to be engineered, permitted and inspected before it is covered. We pull it in our own name, with the sealed drawings on record, so the work is documented and the property is clean at resale.
How it works
Almost every concrete failure people call us about traces back to what happened before the truck arrived. Base not compacted, joints not cut, steel in the wrong place. The pour itself is the easy part.
Forms set to line and grade, base compacted, steel tied with the right cover. Almost every concrete failure people call us about traces back to this stage, not to the pour.

What we install
Single hung, horizontal roller, casement, awning, picture and fixed. All carrying a Miami-Dade NOA that covers your design pressure, which changes with how high the opening sits and how exposed the wall is.
The largest opening in most South Florida houses and the one that decides whether the envelope holds. Two, three and four panel, with pocket and stacking configurations.
Impact-rated swing doors with the same laminated glass and the reinforced frame and hardware the approval requires. A beautiful door with an unrated frame protects nothing.
Removing the old frame down to the opening rather than setting a new window inside the old one. It costs more and it is the only way the anchoring meets the approval.
When the new opening is wider than the old one, that is a beam and an engineer, not a window job. We handle both, which most window companies cannot.
The NOA package, the permit application, the inspection and the closeout. This is the part that makes the insurance credit real and it is where most cheap installs fall apart.
What it costs
Two driveways of the same size can differ by half, and it is almost never the concrete itself. Four things move the price.
We measure on site, put the scope and the finish in writing, and what is on the signed proposal is what you pay. We will also tell you when a job does not need us: some slabs are better repaired than replaced, and saying so up front is cheaper for both of us.
Before you hire anyone
For structural work, yes, and for most work that requires a permit. Florida licenses contracting, and concrete that carries load falls squarely inside it. Flat work like a patio sits in a greyer area depending on the municipality, which is exactly why plenty of people pouring driveways here are not licensed. We hold a Florida Certified General Contractor license, number CGC1524051, which covers both sides. Ask for the license number and the certificate of insurance before anyone pours anything on your property.
Yes, and it is broader than the reverse. A certified general contractor can do flat work and structural concrete, pull the permits for both and self-perform or subcontract. A concrete company without a contractor license can pour your driveway but cannot legally handle a footing for an addition. That is the practical difference when a job turns out to be bigger than it looked.
It depends on what comes out first, what is underneath, how thick the slab has to be and what finish you want. Demolition of an existing driveway and hauling it away is often a meaningful part of the number before a single yard is poured. We measure on site and put it in writing rather than quoting a price per square foot that changes once we see the ground.
Walk on it after 24 to 48 hours, park a car after about a week, and keep heavy trucks off for 28 days, which is when concrete reaches its design strength. It keeps gaining strength for much longer. Anyone telling you to drive on it in three days is not the one paying to replace it.
All concrete cracks. That is why control joints exist: they are a planned weak line so the slab cracks where we cut it instead of across the middle. A hairline crack along a joint is the system working. A crack that is wide, offset in height or growing is a different conversation, and usually about what is under the slab rather than the concrete itself.
Stamped costs less and gives you a continuous surface with no joints for weeds. Pavers cost more, can be lifted and reset if something settles or a pipe needs work, and never need resealing for color. In this sun, stamped work needs resealing every few years or the color goes flat. Neither is wrong, and we install both.
Both. A lot of our concrete work in Miami-Dade and Broward is restoration: spalling where rebar rusted and pushed the concrete off, cracked slabs, failing balcony edges and the repairs a structural inspection called for on an older building. Repair is often the right answer, and on a building past forty years it is frequently what the county is asking for.

Cabinets, stone and the electrical and plumbing that move when the layout changes.
Waterproofing done right, tile set level, and the plumbing that decides whether it lasts.
Large-format porcelain, marble and travertine, measured at your house before anyone writes a number.
Interior and exterior finish, wall texture and the prep that decides how a coat ages here.
