Request an estimateMiramar: older blocks east, newer lots west
Miramar sits just south of Pembroke Pines, where we're based. It runs from older neighborhoods on the east side out to newer subdivisions and townhome communities in the west, and Miami Gardens is across the county line to the south.
On the east side we mostly see single-family homes with their original driveways and walks. Those slabs have often cracked, settled at the edges or tipped so water pools by the garage. Out west the houses are newer, and the calls tend to be about widening a driveway, adding a patio or redoing a pool deck. Many of those homes are in a community whose association has a say in how the concrete looks, so bring its rules to the estimate. The ground across the city is flat, which means the slope we build into a slab decides where the water goes, and that's why I spend part of every estimate here looking at drainage.
Working in Miramar: permits, paperwork and what moves the price
Building permits here come from the City of Miramar Building Department. Its list names structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and gas work, plus work on flood-zone lots, which the questions below cover. Flatwork, the slabs that lie on the ground like driveways, patios and walks, isn't named on that list by itself. When it's unclear whether your job needs a permit, we check with the department before anything starts, and when it does need one, we take care of the application and the paperwork the city asks for. A permit can set the schedule, because the city sets a review period for the first round and a short deadline for answering its comments. If that deadline is missed, the application is denied and has to be filed again with its fees, so we stay on top of those comments.
Before you hire anyone here, ask whether they hold a City of Miramar Business Tax Receipt, because the city requires one for anyone doing business in it. We're fully licensed and insured, and we work here the same way we do in Davie and Hollywood. The price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, whether old concrete has to be broken out and hauled away, how much digging and packing the base needs, the finish you pick and whether a permit is involved. The schedule turns on the permit, if there is one, and on curing, the wait while new concrete hardens enough to take feet and then tires. At the estimate I walk the job with you and explain what's in the price.
Services in Miramar, FL
Concrete driveway building
Older Miramar driveways often crack and sink where the base was never packed. We break out the old slab, dig out and compact the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, then pour.
Concrete patio construction
Many back patios here are small original slabs that families want bigger. Our concrete patio construction starts with grading so water runs away from the house.
Concrete sidewalk building
Older walks here get lifted and cracked where the ground under them settled. We replace the bad sections and cut control joints, grooves that give the concrete a place to crack.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks in Miramar backyards take water, bare feet and dragged chairs every day. We slope them toward the drains and give them a finish that isn't slick underfoot.
Garage floor concrete
Garage slabs in older homes here are often stained, cracked or dipped at the door. We remove them and repour on a packed base so the car sits level.
Stamped concrete services
Newer homes out west often want an entry or driveway that matches the house. Our stamped concrete presses pattern and color into a slab poured on the same packed base.

Frequently asked questions
Does a small concrete job in Miramar need a permit if it costs under $7,500?
A complete project at a single-family home valued under $7,500 can qualify for a building permit exemption, because state law now requires the city to grant one, but you or your contractor have to ask for it in writing. The written request includes the contract or other papers showing what the work is and what it's worth, and it goes in through the city's Citizen Self Service Portal or in person at the department, 2200 Civic Center Place. A project can't be split into smaller jobs to stay under that amount, and we'll go over whether yours fits at the estimate.
How do I find out if my Miramar home is in a flood zone?
Look up your address on the city's flood zone lookup, which shows whether a property is in a flood zone. That matters for concrete work because the city requires a permit for any work on a property that's partly or entirely in a flood hazard area, so we look it up before we plan your job.
How do I schedule a building inspection in Miramar?
You can request an inspection online under Permits & Self Services on the city's website, or call the Building Department at 954-602-3200. When we've pulled the permit for your job, the paperwork the city asks for is ours to handle, so ask us first where things stand.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Miramar?
The cost comes down to your driveway, mostly its size, the tear-out, the base work and the finish. A broom finish, the light texture dragged across the top so it isn't slick, costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and a lot that needs regrading for drainage costs more than one that already sheds water. The base is the last place I'd cut, because nobody sees it on day one and it's what keeps the slab from sinking later. I'll show you where the money goes when I walk your driveway.
How do I get rid of old concrete after a driveway tear-out in Miramar?
The city doesn't pick up construction debris with regular trash, and it sends residents to Waste Pro at (954) 967-4200 for removal. On our jobs, breaking out and hauling off the old slab is part of the work we price, so it's handled along with everything else.
What causes a concrete driveway to crack and sink in Miramar?
Most cracking and sinking start under the slab, where a base was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so it settles with the dirt and takes the concrete down with it. Cracks also wander when control joints go in late or get skipped, and on a flat lot a slab that falls toward the house leaves water pooling against it. Concrete will still crack some because that's its nature, so we pack the subgrade, set the slope away from the house and cut the joints in time for any cracks to land where we chose.
