Margate's 1970s and 1980s block ranches sit on sand and limestone with high water tables, narrow lots tucked under old banyans, and original concrete driveways and garage floors that have taken decades of Florida sun, rain, and salt air. When that concrete cracks, settles, or spalls, it gets worse fast in our heat and humidity.
Fort Lauderdale Concrete knows Margate (33063) because we work here regularly. We've leveled sunken slabs on Coconut Drive, resurfaced stained garage floors near Sample Road, and repaired driveways that shifted on soft muck. We show up on time, we listen to what you need, and we leave your property clean. Call us at (754) 218-2497 for a free estimate.
Concrete in Margate (33063)
Margate's homes were built on sand over porous limestone, with a water table that sits high year-round and climbs even higher near the canals. That means your driveway, garage floor, or patio sits on a base that can shift, settle, and crack when water moves through it or when the ground under the slab compacts unevenly over time. Summer downpours, hurricane-season flooding, and salt spray from nearby coastal areas accelerate spalling and staining. Unsealed concrete turns black with algae and mildew within months. Narrow lots and mature trees (especially those old banyans) also mean tight access and shallow root systems that can lift and crack concrete at the joints.
We've been repairing and building concrete in Fort Lauderdale and Margate for years. We understand the ground here, the drainage challenges, the permit process with the city, and how to build concrete that lasts. We also know when to recommend sealing, slip-resistant finishes for pool decks, or slab lifting instead of replacement to save you money.

How a Job Works in Margate
You call us at (754) 218-2497 or request a free on-site estimate. We come out, look at the concrete, the ground, drainage, and access. We ask you what the problem is and what you want the finished result to be. We explain what we'd do, why, and what it costs. No pressure, no surprise fees.
Once you approve, we schedule the work around your schedule and any HOA or city permits that apply. For driveways, patios, and pool decks in Margate, we handle the site prep, base compaction, forming, pouring, finishing, and curing. If the lot is tight or trees are overhead, we work carefully and coordinate with you. If you need a city permit for a driveway or sidewalk, we help you understand the requirements.
When we're done, we clean up all debris, sweep the site, and walk through the finished work with you. You get a clean property and concrete that's ready to seal and protect.
Concrete repair and resurfacing in Margate typically runs from $3 to $5 per square foot, depending on how deep the damage goes and what the base looks like underneath. Garage floor resurfacing or polishing starts around $4 to $5 per square foot. A new driveway or patio runs $6 per square foot and up. Stamped or decorative finishes start at $10 per square foot. Sealing costs about $0.75 per square foot and is one of the best investments you can make in our climate. Slab lifting and leveling (mudjacking) runs around $4 per square foot and can save thousands compared to replacement. The final price depends on the size of the job, how hard it is to reach, how bad the damage is, and how soon you need it done.
