Concrete Contractors in High Point, FL

Two Kinds of Lots, Two Kinds of Concrete Jobs

High Point is a mobile-home town with a new-construction edge. Census figures put 64.1% of its 2,418 housing units in the mobile-home column, and the High Point Mobile Home Subdivision plats alone hold 1,893 lots across seven units. The Property Appraiser lists 1,949 mobile-home parcels with a median build year near 1980 and a median lot of 7,500 sq ft. Those are the lots where we, as concrete contractors in High Point, pour replacement driveways, carport pads and porch slabs, tucked close to the house.

Single-family houses are a different group. There are 630 of them, with a median lot of 20,000 sq ft, and 217 were built in the 2020s, about a third of the total. Those lots bring concrete driveway installation, garage aprons, long walks and larger patios. For tear-out and repour, see the driveway page; pads and garage floors are on the slab page.

Plats you'll hear named around here include Pine Cone, Pine Grove, Waterford, Vista Park and Coastal Landing, and the Oak Hill Hospital campus plats sit inside the community too.

Concrete Repair in High Point: Storm Wear, Settling and Flagged Parcels

If you searched for concrete repair in High Point, start with the cause. The county's 2024 storm damage records list 25 entries inside the community, mostly Hurricane Milton wind damage to mobile homes (19). A pad that carried a damaged carport may now carry nothing. Look for lifted corners, edges that have crumbled, and cracks wider than a pencil line.

Settlement is the other cause. On the Property Appraiser's data for High Point, 9 of 3,550 parcels carry a "Sinkhole Unrepaired" flag and 37 carry a "Stabilization Permit Complete" flag, and the state subsidence-report layer shows 13 report points, 4 of them from 1990. Those are small numbers, but if your slab dropped at one spot, look up your own parcel on the Property Appraiser site before spending money.

We look at each repair in person, then tell you whether grinding, patching, resurfacing or a full replacement makes sense. Repair is quote-only, and the free written estimate comes after we see the slab.

What a Patio Costs From Concrete Contractors in High Point

Here is what a patio costs. Plain or broom-finish patios run $7 to $12 per sq ft, and stamped runs $12 to $22. A 14 by 20 patio is 280 sq ft, so $1,960 to $3,360 at $7 to $12 per sq ft, and a 10 by 12 side patio is 120 sq ft, so $840 to $1,440. Those are worked examples, and your price comes in a free written estimate after we see the site.

Hernando County's exemption list lets a non-structural, patio-style slab under 500 sq ft go without a building permit, outside Special Flood Hazard Areas. About 94.6% of the sample points inside the community are FEMA zone X, so a patio on most lots can qualify, while a parcel in zone AE (5.4% of the points) can't use the exemption. Our patio page covers finishes, edges and drainage, and the stamped concrete page covers patterns.

On a 7,500 sq ft mobile-home lot, a patio competes with parking, a shed and the carport for space. We lay out the pad on paper first so the house, the driveway and the patio fit.

Carport Pads, Porch Slabs and the Permit Line

The county's exemption list names window and door replacements on mobile and manufactured homes, and premanufactured carports. For a carport or a state-approved shed of 120 to 288 sq ft, an existing slab needs no permit, but a new slab with footings does. Any slab poured with the intent for future vertical construction or structural support needs a permit, and the county's fee list shows $180 for a slab permit.

That matters when a carport kit arrives before the slab. On the county list, a carport going onto an existing slab needs no permit, but a new slab with footings for it does, so the order of work changes the paperwork. Tell us what's going on top and we'll price the slab and note the permit. For contracts over $2,500, Florida requires a recorded Notice of Commencement; the permit guide walks through the steps.

Driveway Aprons, County Roads and Paving Districts

The county's road inventory for High Point includes Highpoint Boulevard, Sunshine Grove Road (CR 493), Weeping Willow Street, Montour Street, Star Road, Jacqueline Road, Cortez Oaks Boulevard, Memorial Drive and a short stretch of Mariner Boulevard. Work in county right-of-way needs Public Works approval, though a homeowner's own request for a residential entrance is handled by letter with no permit fee or bond. The county's right-of-way page explains it, and the fee list shows a $140 permit for a driveway slab from the house to the right-of-way.

Several road-paving assessment districts touch High Point, including Flock Avenue, Godwit Area, Furley Avenue and Eider Avenue, per the Property Appraiser's MSBU layer. A paving district doesn't change the apron process for concrete contractors in High Point: a new apron on a county street still goes through Public Works. A driveway onto a state road such as SR 50, which Wikipedia places along the community's southern edge, is a connection under Florida Statutes 335.182 and needs an FDOT access permit that expires if not built within a year.

Dry Sand With a Few Wet Pockets

Candler fine sand covers 75% of the 56 sample points, and Candler-Urban land complex another 16.1%. About 93% are excessively drained, and 94.6% are rated not limited for dwellings without basements. Two of the points show Basinger soils, including a depressional Basinger, which marks lower, wetter spots. If your yard has a low corner that holds water after a storm, mention it at the visit, because we grade and shape the slab edge differently there.

Where FEMA zone AE touches the community, static base flood elevations range from 25.9 to 70.8 feet. In deep sand, compaction and edge support do the work for concrete contractors in High Point: a 4-inch slab with joints no more than about 10 feet apart, per Concrete Network, and a week of cure before driving on it.
