Stamped concrete contractors in South Daytona and the slab that came with the house
Old houses are the story here. The Census five-year survey puts the median build year at 1976. Of all homes, 62.5 percent went up before 1980, and the 1970s alone account for 35.1 percent, or 2,622 homes. Does your patio, walk or driveway date from the original build? A stamped replacement can give you the look of stone or brick in one pour.
So the job starts with a tear-out. Pulling out the old slab adds $1.50 to $3 per square foot, so a 280 square foot patio adds $420 to $840 before any new concrete goes in. The tear-out gets its own line on our estimate, so you can see what removal costs apart from the stamped work. Our service page for stamped work covers pattern and color choices. The rest of this page covers what the city adds.
Closer than five feet: when South Daytona lets a pad hug the lot line
Open structures here sit 5 feet off the side or rear lot line. The land development code makes an exception in Section 5.6. Driveways, concrete pads and sidewalks may sit closer than 5 feet "if the chief building official determines that proper drainage can be maintained." Patios that reach into side or rear yards keep a minimum of 5 feet from the lot lines.
Put a stamped pad against a side fence and you won't get a flat yes or a flat no. The answer depends on where the water goes. Bring your survey and a photo of the low spot. Before we pour, we'll show the official where the runoff leaves the lot. Building cover is capped at 40 percent in the R-1A, R-1B, R-1C and R-2 districts, with R-1A lots at 10,000 square feet and R-1C lots at 7,500 with 7.5 foot side setbacks. Check a patio next to the house against your lot size.
