Concrete Contractor in Pine Hills, FL - Solid Driveways and Patios for Older Homes
Clermont Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Clermont, FL. In Pine Hills we tear out and replace cracked driveways, patios, pool decks and front steps, and pour slabs and parking areas for local businesses.
Older homes and local businesses in Pine Hills
Pine Hills is one of Orange County's oldest and largest neighborhoods, and that shows up on our jobs here. Most of what we pour sits beside single-story block houses whose original driveways, walks and front steps have taken decades of sun, rain and tree roots, with shops, churches and small offices mixed in along the busier roads. We do the same kind of work in Orlovista and Ocoee.
Age changes the job. Before we pour anything new here, we're usually breaking out an old slab, working around big trees and narrow side yards, and meeting a garage floor or sidewalk that has settled over the years, so every estimate starts with what has to come out.
What to know before concrete work in Pine Hills
Orange County Government serves Pine Hills, so if your job needs a permit, it comes from the county, and the permit and its inspections set the start date more than our calendar does. Before you hire anyone, check two things. First, they should hold a Florida contractor license, which certified contractors only get after passing a state exam. Second, a contractor working in unincorporated Orange County needs a Business Tax Receipt, the county's business license, from the Orange County Tax Collector. We're licensed and fully insured, and when a job needs a permit, I pull it and handle the inspections with the county office that covers your address. What moves the price is mostly what's under and around the old slab. That means how much concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs, how thick the new slab is and whether it gets rebar, the steel bars that keep a crack from spreading apart. The finish you pick and how close a truck can get matter too. The schedule turns on the permit, the summer rain and curing, the days new concrete needs before it can take weight, and the free estimate gives you your own figure.
Roads matter on these jobs too. The county has been extending sewer service along Pine Hills Road, mostly to commercial lots, and the work was scheduled to wrap up in early summer 2026, so if your property is hooking up, plan for a trench through a driveway or walk that we can cut clean and repour. We also work out in Horizon West, where a lot of the calls are new patios and pool decks on newer houses, so in Pine Hills I plan around old concrete from the first visit.
Services in Pine Hills, FL
Concrete driveway building
Many Pine Hills driveways are decades old, cracked and sunk where the base washed out. We tear out, dig to firm ground, pack a new base and pour.
Concrete patio construction
Many homes here have just a small back stoop. We pour a patio sloped to carry rain away from the house instead of toward your door.
Concrete pool decks
Older backyard pools here often sit inside cracked, lifting decks. We build a new pool deck with a brushed broom finish that gives wet feet some grip.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps on older houses here often crumble or pull away from the house. We form and pour new ones, even at tight doorways other crews skip.
Concrete cutting
When a plumbing line or a wider driveway means opening existing concrete, a clean cut matters. We saw-cut straight lines so the patch meets the old slab neatly.
Concrete parking lot building
Pine Hills mixes homes with shops, churches and offices whose lots take daily traffic. We build parking areas with a deeper packed base and steel where trucks turn.
What Pine Hills rain and heat ask of concrete
Orlando averages about 51 inches of rain a year, with roughly 6 to 8 inches a month from June through September, and that water is what undoes most slabs here. When it runs under the edge of a driveway, it carries the sandy ground out from under it, and the slab sinks and cracks. So we check where the water runs before we set a form, slope the new slab away from the house, and dig out soft fill to pack a firm subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, instead of raking dirt level. The base is the first thing people want to cut when the budget's tight, because nobody sees it on day one. It's the last thing I'd cut, because it decides whether your new slab cracks like the old one.
Heat is the other half. A pour in the middle of a summer afternoon dries the top too fast and leaves it weak and dusty later, so we start early and keep the surface damp while it cures. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack, the day we pour, so any crack lands where we chose.

Questions we hear in Pine Hills
How do I find out if my concrete job needs a permit in Pine Hills?
Ask Orange County Permitting Services before any work starts, because the county says most construction, remodeling and structural work needs a permit. I'll tell you at the estimate what I expect for your job, and if one's needed, we take care of it.
Do I need a permit to pour a slab for a shed in Pine Hills?
The shed does, because Orange County requires a permit for all structures, sheds included. A shed of 120 square feet or less may be exempt from the building code but still has to apply for a building permit, so plan the slab and the permit together.
Does a concrete block fence need a permit in Orange County?
Yes, a masonry fence needs a building permit, while County Zoning issues the permit for other fences 6 feet tall or under. If a wall is part of your plan, mention it at the estimate, because it changes which permit the job needs.
Can I pull my own permit for concrete work in Pine Hills?
You can apply as an owner-builder if the property is for your own use or occupancy and you qualify under Florida law. If a corporation, LLC or trust owns the property, the county requires a Florida-licensed contractor to apply, which often comes up with rental houses.
How much does it cost to replace a concrete driveway in Pine Hills?
Your price comes down to size, how much old concrete has to come out and how much base work the ground needs, so I give you a figure after I've seen it. Hauling off a thick old slab, extra thickness and rebar where a truck or RV parks, and a stamped or decorative finish all raise it, while a plain broom finish keeps it lower.
What is the best time of year to pour concrete in Pine Hills?
Any month works if the pour is planned around rain and heat. June through September brings the heaviest rain, so in summer we watch the forecast closely, pour early in the morning and keep the new slab damp while it cures.
