Will my concrete crack?

All concrete cracks eventually — the question is whether the cracks are controlled (along intentional joints) or random and structural. A competent contractor uses the right mix, proper sub-base prep, correct thickness, control joints at the right spacing, and a slow cure to keep cracks at the joints where you won't notice them.

Do I need a permit for a driveway, patio, or walkway?

Most Orlando-area jurisdictions require a permit for new driveways and driveway extensions (because they affect drainage and the right-of-way), and for slabs over a certain size. Detached patios and walkways often do not. Your contractor should tell you which permits apply at your address.

Pavers vs. poured concrete vs. stamped concrete — which lasts longest in Florida?

Poured concrete typically lasts the longest if installed correctly. Pavers are more flexible (lift and re-set individual stones rather than tear up a slab) and forgive Florida's expansive soils better. Stamped concrete gives the look of pavers at a lower price but cracks are more visible. The right answer depends on your subsoil, drainage, and budget.

Hiring a concrete contractor in the Orlando metro area

Hiring a concrete contractor in the Orlando metro area covers driveways, patios, sidewalks, slabs for additions, decorative work, and foundation repairs. The directory below lists active concrete contractors so you can compare and verify before signing.

Florida's sandy, expansive soils and heavy summer rainfall punish bad sub-base prep more than the pour itself — which is why experienced local crews matter more here than for almost any other exterior work.

How to verify a concrete contractor in Florida

Concrete contractors aren't state-certified by DBPR the way roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, and general contractors are. Instead, verify them at the county level: in Orange County through the Orange County Contractor Licensing Division, in Seminole County through the Seminole County Building Division, and in Osceola County through Osceola County Building. Ask for a current local business tax receipt, a Certificate of Insurance (general liability and workers' comp) listing you as certificate holder, and proof they are registered with the appropriate county.

Always insist on a Certificate of Insurance (COI) emailed directly from the agent to you — not a PDF the contractor hands over — and check that workers' compensation is in force. If a concrete contractor claims a workers' comp exemption, every worker on your property must be either the exempt officer or an employee of a separately insured subcontractor; if someone is injured on your job without coverage, the liability flows back to you as the property owner.

Why verifying matters in Florida

Florida law (§ 489.127, F.S.) makes it a third-degree felony to contract without a license on a project valued at $5,000 or more, or any size project during a declared state of emergency. Verifying licensure before you sign a contract is the single most important step you can take to protect your home and your deposit. Central Florida's hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and unlicensed storm-chasing crews routinely move through Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties after a major event. Confirming an active state license — and an in-state business address you can actually drive to — keeps you out of that risk pool. Concrete defects don't show up for months or years, so the warranty conversation has to happen before the truck arrives — not after the first crack appears.

Questions to ask before you hire

Are you registered with the county as a concrete or paving contractor, and do you carry general liability and workers' comp?
What PSI mix are you pouring, how thick, and what reinforcement (rebar, fiber mesh, wire) is included?
Will you control-joint and finish the surface (broom, smooth, stamped), and what curing process do you use?
If a permit is required for this size pour, are you pulling it?
What is your warranty on cracking, and what does it specifically exclude?

Frequently asked questions
