Point Pleasant, a borough split by water
Point Pleasant has water on three sides. The Manasquan River runs along the north edge and Beaver Dam Creek along the south. The Point Pleasant Canal cuts right through the middle. Point Pleasant Beach and Bay Head sit to the east and Brick Township to the west, so you're never far from a shoreline here.
Most of what we pour here is for houses: driveways, back patios, front steps and walks, plus a foundation when a house gets rebuilt. It's the same kind of work we do up in Asbury Park, but with more lots sitting close to the water. That's what shapes the job. Where the rain goes and how firm the ground is under the slab matter more than the finish does.
What we know from working in Point Pleasant
The borough Building Department issues permits to build, alter, renovate or repair a structure, and it has the last word on what your job needs. Some jobs need zoning, flood plain or engineering approval first. In those cases the borough looks at the permit only after those come through, so the approvals usually set the schedule more than the pour does. We go over which borough offices your job will likely go through, help you gather the survey and drawings they ask for and handle the filing with you. We're fully licensed and insured, and we check with the borough before we start.
The canal splits the borough in half, so a concrete truck headed for your street may have to cross on the Rt. 88 bridge or the Lovelandtown bridge, and we plan the route and the pour time around that. It's a longer run down from Tinton Falls, where we're based, so we have the whole pour lined up before the trucks roll. Price here turns on the size of the job, whether an old slab has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The written estimate I give you spells that out for your job.
What do driveways and patios in Point Pleasant need?
On a lot near the river, the canal or the creek, water is the first thing I look at. A slab that falls toward the house sends every rainstorm at your foundation, so we check where the water runs before we set a single form.
Most of the cracked or sinking slabs we look at failed underneath, not on top. Somebody raked the dirt level and poured, and the slab settled right along with the dirt. We dig out the soft stuff and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, until it's firm. Then we cut control joints on time. Those are shallow grooves that give the concrete a place to crack in a straight line instead of across the middle of your driveway.

Concrete work we do in Point Pleasant
Concrete driveway building
Many old driveways here sank because the base was just raked flat. We dig out, pack the ground firm and pour over that.
Concrete patio construction
Back patios that tip toward the house send rain right at the foundation. We set the slope away from the walls before a single form goes in.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps pull away from the house when the ground under them settles. We tear out the loose ones and pour new steps on a packed base.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walks heaved by roots or sunk at the joints trip people up. We cut out the bad sections and pour them back level.
Foundation installation
Some houses on low lots near the river and the creek get rebuilt or lifted higher. We handle the foundation installation they sit on.
Concrete footings
Additions and porches sit on footings, the concrete feet that carry the weight. We dig, form and pour them to what the plans call for.

Questions about concrete work in Point Pleasant
Is Point Pleasant the same as Point Pleasant Beach?
No, the Borough of Point Pleasant and Point Pleasant Beach are two separate communities. If your house is in the borough, your job goes through the borough's own offices, which you'll find on the borough's website, and not through Point Pleasant Beach.
How do I find out if my Point Pleasant property is in a flood zone?
Enter your address on the preliminary FEMA flood maps and you'll see your flood zone and its Base Flood Elevation, the height floodwater is expected to reach. Building codes work from the Design Flood Elevation, which is three feet higher than that. The borough says the state and the borough use these maps for all construction, though not yet for flood insurance, so that number matters when we set the height of a new slab or foundation.
Does a concrete shed pad need borough approval in Point Pleasant?
Usually, yes, because sheds are on the list of things the borough's zoning approval covers, and that's separate from a construction permit. Older state guidance said a garden shed of 200 square feet or under, with no electric, water, gas, oil or sewer hookups, didn't need a construction permit. That doesn't take it off the zoning list, so we check with the borough before we pour the pad.
How do I look up past permits on my house in Point Pleasant?
Look up your address on the borough's SDL Point Pleasant Portal, which shows parcel and permit information. Anything from before 1993 takes an OPRA request, the state's public records request, instead. It's worth a look before we pour next to an older addition, so you know what was approved.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Point Pleasant?
It comes down to the size, whether we're tearing out an old slab first, how much base work your ground needs and the finish you choose. A plain broom finish, the light texture that keeps it from getting slick, costs less than stamped or decorative work, and a soft spot that needs more digging and fill adds to it. If something has to give in the budget, cut the finish and keep the base, because nobody sees the base on day one but it decides whether the slab sinks.
How long will I be without my driveway after a pour in Point Pleasant?
You're off it through the curing, the stretch while the concrete hardens enough to take weight, and foot traffic comes back well before cars do. We pour early instead of in the midday heat, because a top that dries too fast turns weak and dusty later. I'll give you your walk-on and drive-on days before we pour, and any borough approvals come before the pour date is set.

The sooner I see the slab, the sooner you know whether it needs replacing or just isn't worth touching yet.
