Commercial concrete in Cape Coral is a different animal than residential work. The slabs are thicker, the load specs are higher, the reinforcement schedule matters more, and the project usually has to fit a permit, an engineer's drawing, and a tight tenant-improvement schedule. We pour commercial flatwork and structural slabs for property managers, general contractors, retail and restaurant build-outs, light industrial sites, and small commercial owners across Cape Coral and the Lee County area.

Parking lots

Concrete parking lots cost more up front than asphalt, but they hold up substantially better under Florida sun, repeated heavy-vehicle loading, and the freeze-thaw equivalent that humidity and rain put on a surface here. Typical commercial parking thickness is 6 inches with welded wire mesh or rebar on a properly engineered base. We pour in sections with control joints sized to the lot, do the saw cuts within 12 hours of placement to manage shrinkage, and seal the surface once cure is complete. For striping and bollards we coordinate with your striping vendor or can refer one we've worked with before.

Commercial pads & equipment slabs

Pads are usually the simplest commercial pour on paper but the easiest to get wrong if base prep is rushed. We pour pads for HVAC condenser units, generators, transformers, dumpster enclosures, propane tanks, walk-in coolers, light industrial machinery, and trash compactors. Thickness ranges from 4 inches for a small condenser pad up to 10+ inches for heavy industrial loads. We engineer reinforcement to the load spec or coordinate with your structural engineer if drawings are provided.

Loading docks & ramps

Loading dock approaches take a beating. Forklifts coming off the trailer, heavy delivery trucks repeatedly hitting the same approach point, and water pooling in the dock pit are the three failure modes we design against. New dock approaches are typically 7 to 8 inches of reinforced concrete with a hardened surface, sloped properly for drainage, and tied into the existing structural slab with doweled joints. For dock repair, we'll evaluate whether a partial replacement, a thin overlay, or a full repour is the right move based on what's structurally still good.

ADA sidewalk run — ADA-compliant sidewalk run

ADA-compliant sidewalks

Commercial sidewalks have to meet ADA grade and width requirements: 1:12 maximum slope on ramps, 1:48 maximum cross-slope on running surfaces, detectable warning surfaces at curb cuts, level landings at doorways, and 36-inch minimum clear width (60 inches for two-way passage). We pour to spec and document the as-built grades. If you're inheriting a property with non-compliant sidewalk that needs to be brought into ADA compliance — for an inspection, a sale, or a tenant requirement — we can plan the remediation and pour the corrections.

Repair services for commercial properties

For existing commercial concrete, we handle:

Crack injection — epoxy or polyurethane for sound slabs with tight cracks
Section replacement — saw-cut and repour for failed panels in an otherwise sound lot or sidewalk
Mud-jacking and polyurethane lift — for sunken panels where the base settled but the slab is sound
Joint repair and re-sealing — expansion joints, control joints, and dock-to-slab transitions
Surface restoration — grinding, leveling, and sealing of weathered commercial slabs

How long does a commercial parking lot take to pour and reopen?

A typical small commercial lot (under 8,000 square feet) can usually be sectioned, poured, and reopened to traffic within 7 to 10 days, assuming weather cooperates and we have access to pour in sections that let the business stay partially operational. Larger lots scale roughly linearly. We'll build a phased schedule on the walkthrough so you know exactly which sections will be closed when.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. For commercial work in Cape Coral and Lee County, we pull the permits, coordinate with the inspector for required inspections (base, reinforcement, post-pour), and submit final paperwork. If you have a general contractor managing the broader project, we coordinate through them. Either way the paperwork piece is handled.
