Florida Concrete Contractors

Hiring a Concrete Contractor in Florida

Buildermuse currently lists 10 concrete contractors in Florida, averaging 5.0 stars across 3,738 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Lakeland, Altamonte Springs, and Apopka.

Florida has a dual licensing system — certified (statewide) and registered (county only). Certified contractors can work anywhere in the state. PSI administers the state exams. Confirm credentials with the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) at (850) 487-1395 before work begins. Licenses renew on a two-year cycle (August 31 of even years). Expect a $249 state application fee. At a minimum, ask for proof of $300,000 in general liability coverage and active workers' comp.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Florida market sets the floor: construction workers here average $32.33 an hour — about $67,236 a year — across 652,586 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
