Serving Titusville, FL and surrounding areas. (321) 335-1326
Your home in Sharpes sits on flat, sandy ground near the Indian River Lagoon - and concrete that is not installed right for those conditions will fail early. We know this area and build accordingly.
Older homes in Sharpes were often built without a proper outdoor patio slab, and adding one now gives you usable outdoor space on a lot that can flood after rain. Our concrete patio construction includes proper grading and drainage so water moves away from the slab, not toward your foundation.
Sandy soil in Sharpes shifts and settles, and an asphalt or gravel driveway on that kind of base will not last long. A properly compacted concrete driveway handles the ground movement and the daily Florida heat better than any alternative.
Tree roots and uneven sandy soil make sidewalks in Sharpes heave and crack faster than in drier inland areas. We install sidewalks with proper expansion joints and base depth so they stay level through the wet and dry cycles this area sees every year.
Flat lots near the Indian River Lagoon do not have much natural grade, but when rain pools against a fence line or garden bed, erosion is a real problem. A concrete retaining wall gives you a hard boundary that holds its shape even when the ground stays saturated for days.
Adding a workshop, storage shed, or enclosed patio in Sharpes starts with a properly poured slab that accounts for the high water table here. We engineer the thickness and reinforcement to match the soft, sandy ground conditions common throughout this part of Brevard County.
Many mid-century homes in Sharpes have aging precast or poured-in-place steps at the front entry that have settled or cracked after decades of heat and humidity. Replacing them with properly formed concrete steps improves curb appeal and removes a trip hazard.
Sharpes sits on low, flat terrain along the Indian River Lagoon in unincorporated Brevard County. The soil here is primarily sandy, which drains quickly during light rain but becomes unstable and shifts when the heavy afternoon storms of summer soak it repeatedly. Concrete poured without accounting for this soil behavior - shallow footings, no compacted base, inadequate reinforcement - will crack and settle within a few years. The high water table in this part of Brevard County adds another variable. Standing water after a storm is not unusual, and low spots near the lagoon can stay wet for days.
Most homes in Sharpes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, when Space Coast growth was at its peak. That means the existing concrete on most properties - driveways, walkways, patio slabs - is now 40 to 60 years old and showing the wear that Florida's heat, humidity, and salt air cause over time. The Brevard County Building Department handles all permits for work in Sharpes, and knowing the county process matters. Contractors unfamiliar with unincorporated Brevard County rules sometimes get caught off guard by impervious surface limits and drainage requirements, especially on lots near the lagoon. We know the process and plan accordingly from the start.
Our crew works throughout Sharpes regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Most of the residential properties we work on in this area are single-family CBS homes built in the 1960s through 1980s - a building stock that is common across this stretch of US Highway 1. Since Sharpes has no city government, all concrete permits go through the Brevard County Building Services division, and we pull permits there regularly for homeowners throughout this corridor.
US Highway 1 runs through Sharpes as the main road connecting the community to Cocoa to the south and Titusville to the north. Most of the neighborhoods we serve sit on the short streets off that US-1 corridor, between the highway and the Indian River Lagoon. The Brevard County Jail Complex is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Sharpes, and homeowners south of that facility toward Cocoa often call us for the same kind of work we do throughout this area.
We also serve neighboring communities just up and down the road. If you are looking for concrete work in Port St. John to the north or in Cocoa to the south, we cover those areas too.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form on this site. We respond to all Sharpes inquiries within one business day and can usually schedule an estimate visit within the same week.
We visit your property to measure the area, check soil conditions, and assess drainage - all things that matter more in low-lying Sharpes than in drier inland areas. Your estimate is written and itemized so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work starts.
We handle the Brevard County permit process for you and prepare the site with the correct base compaction for sandy soil. You do not need to be present during preparation work, but we will confirm the schedule with you in advance.
The pour itself typically takes one day for residential projects. Concrete needs three to seven days of curing before it can handle vehicle or heavy foot traffic. We do a final walkthrough with you before closing out the job.
We serve Sharpes and all of unincorporated Brevard County. Call us or fill out the form and we will get back to you within one business day.
(321) 335-1326Sharpes is a census-designated place in unincorporated Brevard County, with a population of around 3,000 people. The community stretches along the Indian River Lagoon corridor between Cocoa to the south and Titusville to the north. Most of the housing stock consists of single-family concrete block homes built during the Space Coast growth boom of the 1960s and 1970s. It is a tight-knit, mostly residential community with high homeownership rates and an older median age - many residents have lived here for decades and take a real interest in keeping their properties in good shape. You can read more about its history and character on the Sharpes, Florida Wikipedia page.
The Florida Power and Light Cape Canaveral plant and the Brevard County Jail Complex are two of the most recognizable landmarks along the US-1 corridor through Sharpes. Residential side streets run east toward the Indian River Lagoon and west toward Interstate 95. The community sits within easy reach of Titusville to the north and Cocoa to the south, and many residents commute or travel to both regularly. Nearby Port St. John shares many of the same soil, climate, and permitting conditions as Sharpes, and we serve both communities on a regular basis.
