CATHCART CONTRACTING COMPANY, et al., Appellants, v. P & S PAVING, INC. AND WESTERN SURETY COMPANY, Appellees.
    No. 5D13-1883.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Oct. 24, 2014.
    Bryan L. Capps, of Moye, O’Brien, O’Rourke, Pickert & Dillon, LLP, Mait-land, for Appellants.
    Peter B. Heebner, John N. Upchurch, and J. Steven Garthe, of Heebner, Bag-gett, Upchurch & Garthe, P.L., Daytona Beach, for Appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellants, Cathcart Contracting Company and Westfield Insurance Company, appeal the final judgment awarding damages to Appellees, P & S Paving, Inc. and Western Surety Company. Two issues are raised in this appeal, but only one warrants reversal. Although the amount claimed and pled in Appellees’ complaint was $288,643.85, the court entered judgment in the amount of $324,411.19. Because there is no substantial, competent evidence to support the award of $35,767.34 over the claimed amount of $288,643:85, we reverse that part of the judgment and remand to the trial court to enter judgment for $288,643.85.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; REMANDED.
