About Fort Lauderdale Concrete Solutions

Engineering Over Guesswork: We do not base our determination of how thick to pour concrete based on guesses of what load it will be subjected to; we determine this by calculating it based on those loads. We do not guess about how to drain water off your slab (we will measure your yard to determine where water will run off); we will also find out how many inches of rain per year fall in your area, so we can properly design the drainage system. When designing the amount of rebar to put in your slab, we are guided by established rules of structural engineers, not by guesswork.

Telling the Truth: If we think that overlay will not solve the problems you have with your old concrete, we will tell you. If you want to start your new concrete sooner than is necessary to let it cure properly, we will tell you why that is not possible. If there is a way to build your concrete floor cheaper and still make it last, we will suggest it. Our business model is to develop long-term relationships with clients, not to maximize profit at the expense of client satisfaction.

Using Quality Materials: We buy our concrete from suppliers who have a consistent quality control program in place. We use corrosion-resistant reinforcing steel in all our concrete projects since most of our customers live in the coastal area of Florida. We apply a sealer specifically designed to protect your concrete from the ultraviolet rays of the sun in Florida. While material cost is a relatively small portion of the overall project cost, using low-quality materials to save a few dollars can cut into the overall longevity of your project.

Following Established Rules of Practice: We follow the recommended practices set forth by the American Concrete Institute and local building codes because these recommendations were developed through decades of research and practical experience. The shortcuts that may save time or money in the short term will ultimately cause problems with your concrete project. We will do things correctly the first time.

Treating Your Property With Respect: We treat your property with respect while we are working on your project. We take care to protect the plants and landscaping near our work area. We clean up every evening before leaving your property. We will try to limit the impact on your daily routine as much as possible.
