Concrete work for homes and businesses in Apopka, FL
Custom Apopka Concrete is a concrete contractor in Apopka, FL, with 16 services and a focus on flatwork, the driveways, patios and slabs you drive and walk on. People usually call us about cracks, sinking or uneven slabs, chipping tops or water pooling against the house, and they want something that sits flat and drains. The price mostly comes down to the size of the area, how much old concrete comes out, how much work the ground underneath needs and how plain or decorative the finish is. The schedule turns on the permit question, the ground prep and the cure before you can use it. Your free estimate spells out what's covered.
We tear out the old driveway or start fresh, dig out and pack the base, then pour a slab built to carry your cars for years.
Want a spot out back for a grill and a table? We pour concrete patios sloped away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling.
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still wet, so a patio, walkway or driveway looks like stone, brick or tile.
Need a walk to the front door or side yard? We pour sidewalks with a broom finish, a light swept texture that gives shoes grip when it's wet.
We pour new garage floors or replace cracked ones with a level slab built for parked cars, floor jacks and the odd dropped wrench.
Decorative concrete is the dressed-up side of our work, with color, stains, scored patterns and borders for home entries, patios and storefront walks.
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back a slope and give you level ground, with drainage behind them so water doesn't push the wall over.
Concrete floor installation covers interior floors for shops, sheds, additions and commercial spaces, poured level and finished smooth or left ready for tile or other flooring.
Putting in a pool or redoing the deck? We pour pool decks with a textured, grippy surface for bare feet, sloped so splash water drains off.
We form and pour concrete steps for front doors, back porches and slopes in the yard, with even rises so each step feels the same underfoot.
A slab foundation is the concrete base an addition, garage or shed sits on, built to the plans with rebar, steel bars that hold it together.
For new construction and additions, we dig, form and pour foundations that follow the engineer's or builder's plans and get the inspections the building office asks for.
Business and property owners call us for concrete parking lots and pads that handle steady traffic, with the base, slope and joints planned so water drains away.
Footings are the concrete strips under a wall, porch, column or addition that spread its weight into the ground, and we dig and pour them to the plans.
Is a slab or foundation sinking and opening cracks? We raise and level it where the job allows, and tell you when an engineer should look first.
Need an opening for a door, a trench for a pipe or a bad section removed? We saw-cut concrete cleanly so the rest of the slab stays put.
What you get when you hire us
Every reason here comes back to one idea. Concrete only holds up as well as the work under it, and you should know what you're paying for before we pour.
You talk with the owner
You talk with me from the first call, not a salesperson, and I'll explain what your job needs in plain words before you decide anything, so you know why each step is there.
Time spent on the base
We dig out soft dirt and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because a base that's just raked level settles and takes the slab with it. If the budget's tight, I'd trim the finish before the base.
Estimates you can compare fairly
Your estimate spells out what's included, like tear-out, base work, slab thickness and finish, so you can set it beside other bids and see what each one leaves out.
Straight talk about new concrete
Before we pour, I'll explain curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it takes weight, and why a fine hairline crack can be normal. Want to talk it through? Call (407) 358-0192.

Questions about concrete in Apopka
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Apopka?
The cost of a concrete driveway in Apopka depends mostly on its size, how much old concrete has to come out and how much work the ground underneath needs. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and a tight spot that's hard to reach adds time. We give free quotes on site that spell out what's included.
Why are concrete quotes so different from one contractor to the next?
Concrete bids usually differ in what they include, especially tear-out, base prep, slab thickness and rebar, even when the size is the same. A low number often means less digging and packing under the slab, which is the part nobody sees once it's poured. Our estimate lists each item so you can compare bids side by side.
How long until I can drive on my new concrete driveway?
Foot traffic comes first and cars come later, because new concrete keeps curing and gaining strength for a while after the surface looks finished. I'll give you the wait for your slab at the walk-through, since thickness and the mix change it, and the permit check and ground prep decide how soon we can pour.
Does a concrete contractor need a license to pull permits in Apopka?
Yes, a contractor applying for city permits in Apopka has to submit a current state certified license or registration plus an Orange County competency license for that type of work, and be registered with the city. The person signing the application also has to be qualified under city, county and state codes. We're licensed and fully insured, and we file permits as the licensed contractor.
What happens on the day you pour my concrete?
On pour day our crew checks the forms and the slope so water runs away from the house, places and levels the concrete, then finishes the surface. We also cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a planned line to crack along. Keep cars, kids and pets off the fresh slab and leave a clear path for the truck.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. We walk the finished job with you, so anything you're unsure about gets talked through on the spot rather than wondered about later.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
Most concrete gets a few fine cracks over the years, but a packed base and well-timed control joints usually keep them small and steer them into the joints instead of across the middle. Old slabs often crack because the base settled or the joints were cut late or skipped, and that's what I look for when I come out.
How do I know if my Apopka address is inside city limits?
The City of Apopka's Zoning Map shows whether an address falls within the city and what zone it's in. That decides whether the city or the county building office covers your job, and the city can fine or stop work done without a required permit. We check this with the right office before we start.
