What We Restore
Spalling and delamination repair, rebar cleaning, treatment and replacement, balcony slabs and columns, carport and structural beams, driveways and flatwork, pool decks and lanais, and new or rebuilt concrete stairs. Restoration keeps the sound concrete and rebuilds the damaged section; an engineer decides when a whole element has to be replaced.
Soil, Water & Salt Air
Boca Raton sits on a low coastal ridge with a high water table, and parts of it run within a few miles of the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Salt-laden air and moisture reach the steel inside a slab, the rebar rusts and expands, and the concrete above it cracks and breaks away; that is spalling. Pool decks and driveways on sandy, shallow-water-table soil also settle and heave unevenly, so a repair has to deal with what is underneath before it patches what is on top. We find the cause first, then cut out the damaged concrete, treat or replace the corroded steel and rebuild the section.
Permitting
Boca Raton is an incorporated city with its own building division, separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that serves unincorporated parcels. Structural repair of a balcony slab, column, beam or carport needs a City permit held by a licensed contractor; a simple driveway or pool-deck resurfacing may not, depending on scope, and we confirm which before the contract is written. Barrier-island and Intracoastal parcels can also fall under Coastal Construction Control Line provisions, and designated historic areas such as Old Floresta can involve preservation review. We check the current requirements for your address with the City before we quote.
Properties & Associations
Boca Raton has many condominium buildings along the coast and Federal Highway and many deed-restricted and gated communities, from Boca Square and Boca Teeca to Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club. In a condominium the declaration decides whether a balcony is a common element or the owner’s responsibility, and the board normally approves structural repair; we give the board a written concrete scope it can put in front of its members and the City. Gated communities and associations also set their own architectural review and contractor-access rules for driveway and pool-deck work, and we ask for them before the crew is scheduled.

Questions, Answered
Structural concrete repair, such as a balcony slab, column, beam or carport, needs a permit from the City of Boca Raton, which has its own building division separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division. Simple driveway or pool-deck resurfacing may not, depending on scope. We confirm which before we write the contract.
Salt air and moisture reach the steel inside the slab, the rebar rusts and expands, and the concrete above it breaks away. A patch over active spalling that skips the steel will fail again, so we treat or replace the corroded steel first.
It can. Slabs on sandy, shallow-water-table ground settle and heave unevenly, so we look at what is underneath before patching what is on top and tell you whether the work is repair or replacement.
The condominium declaration and Florida condominium law decide it. The declaration says whether a balcony is a common element, a limited common element or the owner’s responsibility. We are a contractor, not an attorney, so ask the board for the declaration; we then assess the concrete and give a free estimate.
Often. Many associations require architectural review for exterior work and set contractor-access hours. We ask for the rules before the crew is scheduled.
It depends on how much concrete and steel is damaged, access, permitting and the structure involved. There is no honest flat rate and we do not price a repair we have not looked at. Estimates are free; call (561) 779-3213.
