Clermont Concreters has served Clermont since 2015, installing and repairing concrete patio slabs that hold up to daily foot traffic, grills, and outdoor furniture. We handle new pours, tear-out and replace, crack and spall repair, resurfacing, and drainage corrections so your patio is stable, clean, and easy to maintain.
A long-lasting concrete patio starts below the slab. We excavate to design depth, remove soft spots and organic material, then build a compacted subbase with graded crushed stone (typically 4-6 inches) in lifts using a vibrating plate compactor. Forms are set to line and elevation, and we plan slope for water runoff (about 1/8-1/4 inch per foot away from the home). Reinforcement is chosen for the job, including #3 or #4 rebar on chairs or 6x6 W2.9 welded wire mesh, plus thickened edges where needed for load and durability.
Florida heat, sudden rain, and sandy soils can stress a patio if the mix and finishing are rushed. We schedule placements with the forecast, place concrete at workable slump, consolidate and strike off with a screed, then control shrinkage with tooled joints or saw-cuts spaced to match the slab layout (commonly 8-12 foot panels depending on thickness). Finish options include broom-finish for traction, salt-finish, steel-trowel for smooth utility areas, and decorative stamped concrete patio patterns with integral color or dry-shake color hardener. We also install expansion joint material where the patio meets the house, pool deck, or existing slab, and seal decorative surfaces with a UV-stable sealer when specified.
Homeowners and businesses choose us because we build patios like flatwork should be built, measured, reinforced, and finished to control cracking and drainage problems. Our crews use lasers for grade, set forms tight, and communicate clearly about access, protection of landscaping, and realistic cure times. If you have an older patio, we diagnose why it failed, including settlement from poor compaction, water washing out the base, inadequate jointing, or surface scaling from improper finishing and early rain. Then we recommend the right fix, from epoxy crack repair and patching to concrete resurfacing or full replacement when the slab is structurally compromised.
Before we call a concrete patio complete, we do a walkthrough with you. You will see the planned slope, joint layout, edge details, and finish uniformity, and we review curing steps like keeping foot traffic off for at least 24-48 hours and delaying heavy loads longer depending on thickness and weather. You get a clean site, proper control joints, reinforcement where specified, and a patio built to shed water and stay stable through seasonal movement. If your project includes steps, a landing, a shed pad tie-in, or a walkway connection, we make those transitions safe and consistent, and we explain sealing and maintenance so the surface keeps its color and grip.

Yes. We can demo and haul off existing slabs, then rebuild the base as needed before forming and pouring new concrete. Disposal and access for equipment are included in the scope when applicable.
Yes. We set forms to match tie-in elevations and establish slope for drainage before placement. Where needed, we dowel into existing concrete and install isolation joints to reduce reflective cracking.
When permits are required, we coordinate the process and schedule inspections. Requirements vary by project type and location, so we confirm this during the site visit.
Common causes include poor base compaction, standing water, rapid drying in heat, inadequate curing, and insufficient joints. Surface flaking (scaling) can also come from finishing mistakes or weak surface paste, which is why placement timing and curing matter.
Often yes, with planning. We schedule around forecasts, protect subgrade from saturation, and avoid placing during active rain that can weaken the surface. If conditions are not right, we reschedule rather than gamble with the finish.
A concrete patio should feel solid underfoot, drain correctly, and stay presentable through sun, rain, and daily use. Clermont Concreters installs new concrete patio slabs and repairs failing patios with practical solutions, from base corrections and reinforcement upgrades to jointing, resurfacing, and decorative finishes. Whether you want a simple broom-finish outdoor living area or a stamped concrete patio that matches your home, we focus on durable materials, clean layout lines, and predictable results.
For new patios, we start with excavation and a compacted crushed-stone base, then set forms and elevation so water moves away from the structure. Concrete is placed, struck off, and finished at the right time to avoid dusting and surface scaling. Control joints are tooled or saw-cut to guide shrinkage cracking, and expansion material is installed where the patio meets other slabs or the home. Typical residential concrete patio thickness is 4 inches, with thicker edges or sections where loads are higher.
For concrete patio repair, we look at the cause first. Hairline shrinkage cracks may only need monitoring or sealing, while wider cracks, heaving, settlement, or delamination often require more involved repair, resurfacing, or replacement. We can remove and repour sections, patch spalls with polymer-modified repair mortar, and improve drainage that is feeding erosion under the slab. If the patio surface is sound but worn, a resurfacer or decorative overlay can refresh the look without changing the footprint.
You will get clear options for finish, jointing, sealing, and maintenance, along with straightforward expectations for curing and return-to-use. If you are comparing bids for a concrete patio, ask about subbase thickness, compaction method, reinforcement type, joint spacing, and how the contractor handles rain during placement. When those details are done right, the patio stays flatter, drains better, and looks cleaner for years.
