Serving Gulfport, MS and surrounding areas. (228) 263-3601
Gulfport Concrete handles floors, driveways, patios, and foundations for Moss Point, MS homeowners - including pier-to-slab conversions, retaining walls, and pool decks - with drainage grading and base prep designed for the low-lying lots and high humidity of Jackson County. Licensed contractor, free estimates, 1-business-day response.
Many older Moss Point homes have pier-and-beam structures that are eventually converted to enclosed garages, workshops, or utility spaces - and those additions need a properly poured concrete floor to function well and hold up in this humid climate. We pour reinforced interior slabs suited to the older framing and soil conditions common throughout the city. Read more about our concrete floor installation service.
Driveways on Moss Point's older properties are often original to the home and well past their useful life. We build replacement driveways with gravel base layers and drainage grading designed for the low-lying lots and wet soil found throughout Jackson County, where standing water after a storm is the rule rather than the exception.
Moss Point's warm climate supports outdoor living for most of the year, but the humidity and heavy summer rainfall make poured concrete a better choice than wood decking or loose pavers. We pour patios with drainage slopes that account for the flat terrain and keep water away from the home's foundation and crawl space.
Post-Katrina repairs and new construction on Moss Point properties increasingly use slab foundations rather than the traditional pier-and-beam systems. We pour reinforced slabs for additions and new structures with base preparation that accounts for the moisture-heavy soil found near the river and bayou.
Low-lying Moss Point lots with grade changes or erosion-prone areas near waterways benefit from concrete retaining walls that hold soil in place and direct stormwater away from the structure. We build walls designed for the load and drainage demands of each specific site.
Moss Point is a small Jackson County city of around 13,000 residents, and most of its housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1980s - decades before today's concrete standards, drainage requirements, or flood zone designations existed. Homes from that era often have pier-and-beam foundations, older concrete flatwork, and drainage patterns that were never designed for the more than 60 inches of annual rainfall this part of the Gulf Coast receives. When that original concrete finally fails - through cracking, settling, or surface breakdown - patching usually does not address the underlying problem. Replacement with modern base preparation and drainage grading is the lasting solution.
Moss Point sits at the confluence of the Escatawpa River and Bayou Casotte, and much of the city occupies low-lying terrain where lots stay saturated longer after heavy rain than most of Mississippi. FEMA flood maps show large portions of the city in designated flood zones. That moisture creates constant pressure on concrete from below - wet soil expands, shifts, and compresses under the weight of a slab. A contractor who pours concrete on a thin, under-prepared base in this environment is guaranteeing early failure. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 accelerated repairs across Moss Point, but some of that post-storm work was done quickly and is now showing its age nearly two decades later.
We work on properties throughout Moss Point, and the older housing stock here presents specific challenges we prepare for on every job. Homes built in the mid-20th century often have narrower lots, mature trees with root systems that have displaced adjacent concrete over the years, and original pier-and-beam foundations that sit close to ground level. Many of these homes have never had modern drainage work done around them, so grading and water management are part of every project from the start.
Moss Point sits a few miles from Pascagoula, and the two cities are closely connected - many Moss Point residents work at or near the Huntington Ingalls shipbuilding facilities just across the city line. The Escatawpa River runs along the edge of the city and is a landmark nearly every resident knows. For permit questions specific to Moss Point, the City of Moss Point and Jackson County Building Department handle permitting for the area.
We also serve homeowners in neighboring Pascagoula, where similar Jackson County soil and flood zone conditions apply, and in Ocean Springs, a short drive west along the coast.
Reach us by phone or through our online form. We respond within 1 business day. We will ask a few questions about your project and schedule a free on-site visit at no charge.
We visit your property, review the existing conditions, and assess the soil and drainage situation specific to your lot. You receive a written estimate covering base prep, thickness, and permit requirements before you commit to anything.
We handle the permit application through Jackson County or the City of Moss Point before any work begins. We schedule around the weather and give you a clear timeline for the pour and cure period.
After the pour and cure, we walk the finished surface with you and confirm drainage is functioning correctly. We explain care and resealing schedules before we leave so your investment holds up through Gulf Coast weather.
We serve Moss Point homeowners with free on-site estimates and written quotes. No commitment required - just an honest assessment of what your project needs.
(228) 263-3601Moss Point is a working-class city of about 13,000 residents in the northeastern corner of Jackson County, situated where the Escatawpa River meets Bayou Casotte near the Gulf Coast. The city has a predominantly residential character, with single-family homes making up most of the housing stock. Neighborhoods range from older streets with mid-century wood-frame houses near the river to quieter areas farther inland. Many residents are long-term owner-occupants, and the community has strong ties to the industrial corridor it shares with neighboring Pascagoula, which is home to major employers in shipbuilding and manufacturing just a few miles east.
The city was significantly impacted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and recovery brought both new construction and quick repairs that are now aging. The waterfront areas near the Escatawpa River are popular for fishing and boating, and the low-lying terrain throughout the city shapes everything from yard drainage to foundation choices. Moss Point homeowners tend to be practical people who want honest information and straightforward pricing. For customers needing service across the broader area, we also work in Gulfport and throughout the surrounding Gulf Coast communities.
We hold a valid Mississippi State Board of Contractors license and carry full general liability and workers compensation coverage. Every Moss Point project is properly permitted through the relevant local authority before work begins.
Much of Moss Point sits near the Escatawpa River and Bayou Casotte, where lots stay wet longer after heavy rain than most of Mississippi. We compact subgrade and build drainage-focused gravel bases before every pour - the step that separates concrete lasting 30 years from concrete failing in 5.
We handle driveways, floors, patios, foundations, retaining walls, and 11 other concrete services across Moss Point and the surrounding Gulf Coast area - from Pascagoula to Gulfport.
A large share of Moss Point homes were built before 1980, many with pier-and-beam foundations and original concrete flatwork that has been through decades of humidity, storm flooding, and the occasional hard freeze. We know what to expect in older construction and adjust our approach accordingly.
Moss Point homeowners work with us because we come prepared for what older Gulf Coast properties actually look like - not what a standard estimate assumes. We carry the license, the insurance, and the local knowledge to do the job right the first time.
