1. Is a contractor supposed to be licensed and insured to perform concrete repairs in South Florida?
Yes — it’s essential to hire a fully licensed, insured, and ( and in the case of a large job, bonded) concrete repair contractor to protect yourself from liability and ensure compliance with Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach code requirements. Without proper credentials, you risk shoddy workmanship and potential delays from code violations.
2. What factors influence the cost and scope of concrete repair projects?
The total cost depends on the type and extent of damage—cracks, spalling, structural reinforcement—and must include permits, demolition, substrate prep, and finishing. In Florida, additional costs can arise due to corrosive coastal conditions and strict local building department standards.
3. How long will the concrete repair process take and what disruptions should we expect?
Timeframes vary by project complexity, but most repairs can be completed in a standard work window; timelines should be outlined and agreed upon before work begins . We work closely with boards to minimize disruption—coordinating around site access, noise, and operational continuity, especially in Miami-Dade and Broward buildings.
