A Driveway Transformed in Gulf Gate Estates

Problem: A family in Gulf Gate Estates contacted us after noticing several large cracks forming across their aging driveway. Over time, these cracks widened, and water began pooling in uneven sections. The homeowner had tried DIY crack fillers in the past, but the repairs didn’t last.

Our Solution: After a full inspection, we recommended professional crack repair followed by resurfacing the entire driveway. Our team cleaned and prepped the slab, repaired the structural cracks, and applied a fresh concrete overlay that not only restored the surface but added years of durability.

What the Customer Said:

From start to finish it was a good experience. I was given an estimate, all of my questions were answered and the work to be done was explained to me in detail. Eric is very knowledgeable, honest and straight forward. I was given a date for the work to be done and Eric and his team arrived on time and the work was done in a professional and timely manner. I am very happy and I would most definitely recommend!

Crumbling Walkways in Palmer Ranch

Problem: An older home in Palmer Ranch had multiple sections of driveway that were breaking down due to years of exposure and poor drainage. Sections were flaking, crumbling, and uneven—creating a safety hazard, especially for visiting relatives with mobility issues.

Our Solution: We removed the most deteriorated areas and performed concrete patching, followed by a seamless resurfacing to blend the new and existing sections. We also addressed the drainage issue with a minor grade adjustment to prevent future erosion.

What the Customer Said:

Answered our call on a Saturday for a total driveway demolition and redo, had the entire project completed by the following Friday. Driveway looks great and Eric was professional and accommodating."

A Patio Makeover in South Sarasota

Problem: The owners of a beautiful home in South Sarasota loved entertaining outdoors, but their concrete patio had become an eyesore. Years of sun, rain, and grilling had caused fading, cracking, and surface wear that no pressure washing could fix.

Our Solution: We recommended resurfacing with a decorative concrete overlay. After repairing minor cracks and surface chips, we applied a textured finish with a warm, natural tone that complemented the home’s exterior.

What the Customer Said:

"I knew we needed a wider driveway and we're torn between concrete or crushed shell. I am so glad we went with the concrete. Eric and his team took care of everything, including removing a large palm tree in the way. Eric was able to widen my driveway exactly how I imagined."

Fixing a Tripping Hazard in The Meadows

Problem: A Sarasota retiree in The Meadows reached out after tripping on a slab in her driveway that had settled nearly two inches lower than the rest. She was concerned about safety and had received a wide range of advice from different contractors.

Our Solution: We inspected the entire driveway and determined that slab jacking—also known as concrete leveling—would be the most efficient and cost-effective solution. We lifted the sunken section back into place and sealed the surrounding joints to prevent water intrusion.

What the Customer Said:

I hired Eric Schroeder Concrete to remove my sea shell driveway & replace it with concrete. I couldn't be happier with the results. Eric & his team knocked out the 2240 SF job in less than 4 days and it looks fantastic. I just wish I had hired him a couple of years ago when I first moved in. Great job, guys!
