A concrete patio should feel solid underfoot, drain correctly, and stay attractive through years of use. Orlando Concreters installs and repairs concrete patio slabs with proper grading, reinforcement, and durable finishes that fit how you use your outdoor space.
Every long-lasting concrete patio starts with prep you cannot see. We remove soft soil and old base as needed, then establish final elevation and slope away from the home before placing compactable base material. Typical builds use 4-6 inches of compacted crushed stone (often #57) in lifts, with plate compaction and moisture control so the slab is supported evenly. Forms are set straight and braced, a vapor barrier can be added when appropriate, and reinforcement is installed to plan, commonly rebar or welded wire mesh on chairs so it stays in the slab, not on the ground.
Central Florida soil and heavy rain make drainage and surface choice important on a concrete patio. We set slope for runoff, protect edges, and place control joints to manage shrinkage, usually cutting or tooling at about 8-10 feet spacing depending on thickness and layout. You can choose broom-finish for traction, trowel finish for a smoother look, or decorative options like stamped concrete with integral color or a stain and sealer system. For repair work, we match finish where possible, address trip hazards with grinding or patching, and recommend slab replacement when movement, washout, or widespread cracking makes repair a short-term fix.
Orlando customers choose us because we build patios like slabs that have to perform, not just look good on day one. Our crew follows proven placement practices, including proper slump control, consolidation, edging, and curing so the surface resists dusting and premature cracking. We communicate clearly on thickness, reinforcement, joint layout, and timeline, and we keep the site organized from demolition to washdown. You get a licensed and insured concrete contractor that provides a free written estimate and a straightforward scope you can compare.
Before we wrap up, we do a walkthrough with you to confirm the slope, joint pattern, finish, and clean edges, and we review cure times and when it is safe to place furniture or grill equipment. We also explain sealing options, routine cleaning, and how to avoid common damage like deicing chemicals, sharp metal chair feet, and pressure washing too close to the surface. You receive a written estimate, clear project notes, and a patio that is formed, poured, finished, and cured with professional standards. If the job is a repair, we document what was fixed and what to watch so you can plan ahead with confidence.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing site access, square footage, grade, and the scope of demolition, forming, reinforcement, and finish.
Yes. We handle saw-cutting where needed, demolition, loading, and disposal, then rebuild the base and forms for the new pour.
When permits are required, we can coordinate the process and build to Florida Building Code requirements. We will tell you up front if permitting is likely for your scope.
Yes. We install stamped concrete with texture mats, border patterns, and color options, then apply a suitable sealer based on the finish and expected wear.
Common causes include poor subgrade compaction, inadequate base, improper drainage, lack of control joints, and heavy loads on thin sections. Some cracking is normal, but good design and prep reduce random cracking and settlement.
If your outdoor area is cracked, uneven, or always holding water, a properly built concrete patio can solve the problem and add usable space. Orlando Concreters handles new concrete patio installation and concrete patio repair with a focus on correct subgrade support, reinforcement, drainage, and a finish that fits your lifestyle, whether you want a simple broom-finish slab or decorative stamped concrete.
Concrete patio installation is more than pouring a slab. We start by evaluating the existing grade and any problem areas like soft spots, washout, or downspout discharge. From there we build a stable base, set forms, and place reinforcement before the concrete arrives. During placement we control the mix workability, consolidate where needed, edge and joint the slab, then finish to the selected texture. Proper curing is planned from the start because it directly affects surface strength, wear resistance, and how well the patio holds up to sun and rain.
Concrete patio repair depends on the type of failure. Hairline shrinkage cracks can often be sealed, while spalling, scaling, or popouts may require patching with compatible repair mortar and proper bonding prep. For uneven sections and trip hazards, grinding or targeted replacement may be the safest option. If the slab is sinking from poor support or drainage, we will identify the cause so the fix is not cosmetic only.
Whether you need a new patio, an extension, or repairs to restore safety and appearance, we provide a clear scope, measurable specs, and a finish you can maintain. Share your dimensions, intended use, and any drainage issues, and we will recommend the right thickness, reinforcement, joint layout, and finish for your concrete patio.
