Older east side, newer west side
Miramar was built from east to west, and the concrete shows it. East of the Turnpike, many homes still have their original driveways: cracked, settled, stained or lifted by tree roots after decades of sun and rain. West of I-75, in communities such as Silver Shores, Monarch Lakes and Sunset Lakes, the slabs are newer, and the requests lean toward upgrades: widening a driveway for a third car, an epoxy garage floor, a patio extension or microcement over builder-grade tile.
HOA approvals
Most western Miramar communities have an HOA that reviews driveway width, color and finish before work starts, and some keep a list of approved colors or patterns. We provide the drawings and finish samples the HOA asks for, then apply for the city permit.
Permits and the swale
The City of Miramar handles building permits for driveways and larger slabs. Work on the apron in the swale or at the sidewalk is in the public right-of-way and can need its own approval. We check the rules for your address and include permits in the written quote.
Inside the house
Many Miramar homes from the 1990s and 2000s have large tiled floors. Microcement can often go right over sound tile, which avoids the noise, dust and time of tearing it out. We check the tile and test the slab for moisture first, since a high water table can push moisture up through ground-floor slabs.
