Pompano Beach homes and lots, as we see them
Pompano Beach is a short drive south of us, in Broward County, and the calls we get here come from a mix of single-family homes, duplexes and small commercial lots. Homeowners usually want a driveway, patio or front walk replaced, while builders and property owners call about slabs, footings and parking areas. It's much the same work we do just north in Deerfield Beach, and as a concrete contractor in Boynton Beach, FL, I still drive down to see each Pompano Beach job myself before we price it.
Many lots here are tight, with the driveway running straight from the house to the street, so we plan how the truck reaches the forms and where the old concrete goes before we set a pour date.
Concrete work we do for Pompano Beach properties
Concrete driveway building
When an older driveway has cracked or sunk, we break it out, pack a base and pour a slab with a broom finish, a light texture for grip.
Concrete patio construction
A back patio that holds water against the house gets a new slab sloped away from the walls, sized to the furniture and grill you plan to use.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or entry the look of stone or pavers in one poured slab, with the same packed base under it as plain concrete.
Concrete sidewalk building
We replace front walks and side paths that have heaved or chipped, so you and your guests aren't stepping over raised edges on the way to the door.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage floor is pitted, stained or cracked, we pour a slab for the weight of your cars, with control joints cut so cracks follow straight lines.
Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or textured concrete suits entries and pool areas where plain gray looks out of place, and we plan the design before anything is poured.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down or soil is pushing against a fence line, a poured retaining wall holds the ground back so it stays where you graded it.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and commercial spaces, set flat and level so the finished flooring or coating goes down cleanly.
Concrete pool decks
An old pool deck with lifted or cracked sections gets a new slab, sloped so water runs off, with a finish that's kinder to bare feet.
Concrete steps construction
Front and back steps that have cracked or pulled away from the house get rebuilt with rebar, the steel that holds the concrete together, and even risers.
Slab foundation building
For new homes, additions and outbuildings, we pour slab foundations on compacted ground with the reinforcement and thickness the plans call for.
Foundation installation
Builders and property owners call us for foundations under homes, garages and additions, poured to the drawings and ready for each inspection along the way.
Concrete parking lot building
Shops, offices and multifamily lots get concrete parking areas built for daily traffic, with drainage planned so water doesn't sit in front of the doors.
Concrete footings
We dig and pour footings for porches, additions, columns and walls, because whatever sits on top is only as steady as the concrete underneath it.
Foundation raising
When part of a slab or foundation has settled and doors stick or floors slope, we look at why it dropped and lift it back toward level.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut openings, trenches and clean edges in existing concrete, so a new walk, plumbing line or doorway can go in without breaking more than needed.

Permits and planning for concrete work in Pompano Beach
In Pompano Beach, the city's Building Department issues building permits, and work may not begin until the permit has been issued, so the permit sets the earliest day we can pour. We're licensed and insured, and when your job needs a permit, we pull it, handle the city submittal and inspections, and let you know early which papers to have ready. The approved plans and permit card have to be on site for every inspection, so we keep them on the job instead of asking you to find them.
The price moves mostly with what's under the surface and what has to come out: the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete we break out, how much soft fill we dig out and pack, and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on the permit, on getting the truck to the forms, and on curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before you put weight on it. Your estimate lists each of those for your job, the same way we write them for driveways in Lantana and the other cities around Boynton Beach.
Cracked and sinking slabs we see around Pompano Beach
Most of the cracked and sinking older driveways I look at here have the same story underneath, because the ground was raked level instead of dug out and packed, and the slab settled as the dirt did. We dig down to firm soil and compact the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, before we set a single form. If a budget has to be trimmed, I'd rather you choose a plainer finish than a thinner base, because the finish is what you see on day one, but the base decides whether the slab is still level years from now.
The other thing we check is where the water goes. A patio or driveway that falls toward the house sends water to the foundation and leaves puddles by the door, so we set the slope away from the house before the pour.
How a concrete job runs when you call us
From your first call to the final walk-through, here's what happens and who you'll be dealing with, so nothing about the job comes as a surprise.
Call or send us the form
Please tell us what you'd like poured or replaced and roughly where it sits on the lot. We get back to you to set a time for me to come out.
I visit and write the estimate
I come out myself, look at the ground, the drainage and the old concrete, and ask what the new slab needs to carry. Your written estimate lists what's included, item by item, so you can see where the money goes before you decide.
We permit, prep and pour
If you go ahead, we take care of the paperwork, then dig out, pack the base, pour and finish, and I'm on site with our crew while the work gets done. You don't need to be home on pour day, as long as we can reach the work area and the cars are moved.
We walk the job together
Before we pack up, we walk the finished work with you, answer your questions and tell you when it's ready to walk on and when it's ready to drive on. Our work is satisfaction guaranteed, and thank you for trusting us with your property.
Questions about concrete work in Pompano Beach
What concrete work always needs a building permit in Pompano Beach?
Structural work always needs a standard building permit in Pompano Beach, whatever the job costs, and in concrete that usually means foundations, footings and slabs that hold up a structure. The city also uses a one-permit approach, so trade work tied to the job, such as site drainage, is covered by the same permit instead of a separate one.
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Pompano Beach?
Plan on one, because the city says zoning or engineering permits apply to driveways and to work in the right of way, the strip along the street, even on jobs that skip the building permit. When your driveway needs one, we pull it and handle the inspections for you.
Does the $7,500 permit exemption cover concrete work in Pompano Beach?
Only minor, non-structural repair or maintenance on a single-family home can qualify, and only when the building part of the cost stays under $7,500 and the work stays clear of structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and gas systems. Duplexes, condos, townhouses, multifamily and commercial properties are left out, and so are homes in the flood zones the city lists. The examples the city gives are things like painting, trim and gutter repair, so I'll tell you at the estimate whether your job is anywhere close.
How do I file a building permit exemption request in Pompano Beach?
You file it through the city's ePlan portal before any work starts, the same way as a standard permit, and there's no fee. It isn't automatic, and an approved request comes back as an acknowledgment letter that takes the place of a permit card, though the work still has to meet the Florida Building Code and city rules. The city's page on the permit exemption walks through it, and if your job qualifies, we handle that submittal with the rest of the paperwork.
How much does a new concrete driveway or patio cost in Pompano Beach?
Your price comes from the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete and soft fill has to come out, and the finish you pick, and I put each of those in writing after I see the site. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and a slab the truck can reach easily costs less than one tucked behind the house. The one place I'd ask you not to save is the base, for the reason I gave above.
What causes concrete driveways in Pompano Beach to crack and sink?
It usually comes back to a soft base, plus control joints cut late or skipped and pours done in the midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top. Control joints are the straight cuts that give a slab a planned place to crack as it shrinks, so we cut them on time and start our pours early in the day. Even with all of that done right, new concrete can still get a few small hairline cracks, and I'd rather tell you that now than have it surprise you later.
