Our Story

21 Years of Building North Florida

Maurice Does It Himself

Since 2005, Maurice has built a reputation across Alachua County for being the concrete contractor who shows up when he says he will, charges what he quotes, and stands behind every square foot. His customers don't just leave five-star reviews. They call him back for their next project and send their neighbors his way.

From a simple sidewalk repair to a full screened-in porch with a pergola, Maurice and his team of 5-10 crew members bring the same level of care and craftsmanship to every job.

Common Questions

Concrete FAQ

Most residential projects are completed within a few days from start to finish. After the initial estimate, Maurice typically schedules the pour within days. A standard driveway or patio can be formed and poured in one day, with finishing work the next. Larger projects like screened-in porches or commercial work may take a week. Multiple reviewers mention how quickly Maurice moves from estimate to completion.
Yes. Maurice will come to your property, assess the scope of work, and give you an honest estimate of cost and timeline. No pressure, no upselling. If the job doesn't make sense financially, he'll tell you. That's the kind of straight-talk approach that's earned him his 4.8-star reputation over 21 years.
Yes, and it's something Maurice handles regularly. One reviewer specifically mentioned hiring Affordable Concrete to fix another local company's mistake on their back porch. Whether it's uneven surfaces, cracking, poor finishing, or drainage issues from a bad pour, Maurice has the experience to assess what went wrong and make it right.
Beyond standard broom-finish concrete, we offer stamped concrete (which can mimic stone, brick, or tile patterns), spraycrete application for resurfacing existing concrete, and decorative finishes for patios and pool decks. Maurice can walk you through the options and help you choose the right look and durability level for your property and budget.
Yes. In addition to concrete, we handle block work, brick work, stone work, and retaining walls. Whether you need a structural block wall for a foundation, a decorative brick accent, or a retaining wall to manage drainage on a slope, the crew has the skills and equipment to handle it.
We serve all of Alachua County, including Gainesville, plus surrounding communities within roughly a 30 to 50 mile radius. That covers Waldo, Melrose, Keystone Heights, Interlachen, Palatka, Starke, Micanopy, Newberry, and High Springs. For larger projects, we may travel further. Call Maurice to discuss your location.

Maurice from Affordable Concrete just completed an amazing job on a sidewalk project for my 96 year old father. He was professional, kind, skilled and went above and beyond to make sure my father's needs were addressed.
