Concrete Repair & Restoration

Save Money by Repairing, Not Replacing

Not every damaged concrete surface needs complete replacement. Cracks, spalling, surface damage, and minor settling can often be repaired for a fraction of the cost of tearing out and replacing. The key is catching problems early and using the right repair techniques for your specific situation.

We evaluate your concrete honestly. If repair makes sense, we will recommend it. If the damage is too extensive and replacement is the better long-term solution, we will tell you that too. Our goal is to provide the most cost-effective solution that gives you reliable results. When you need concrete repair services, you want someone who can assess the situation accurately and recommend the right approach.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

We handle all types of concrete repair work for residential and commercial properties:

• Crack Repair: We repair cracks in driveways, patios, walkways, and foundation walls using appropriate techniques based on crack size and location. Small cracks get filled and sealed. Larger structural cracks may need additional reinforcement.
• Spalling and Surface Damage: When the surface of concrete flakes or chips away, we remove loose material and apply repair compounds that bond to the existing concrete and restore the surface.
• Sunken Slab Leveling: When sections of your driveway, walkway, or patio settle and create trip hazards, we can sometimes lift and level them using slabjacking techniques rather than replacing the entire section.
• Joint Repair: Damaged or missing control joints and expansion joints can be recut or filled to prevent further damage and water intrusion.
• Corner and Edge Repairs: Broken corners and crumbling edges get rebuilt using bonding agents and repair mortars that match your existing concrete.
• Resurfacing: When the surface is damaged but the base is solid, we can apply a new concrete overlay to refresh the appearance and add years of life.

If your concrete driveway or other surface is beyond repair, we can also handle complete replacement with proper installation to prevent future problems.

Our Repair Approach

Thorough Assessment

We start by examining your concrete to understand what caused the damage and whether repair is feasible. This includes checking for underlying issues like poor drainage, inadequate base preparation, or structural problems that need addressing. Treating symptoms without fixing causes just leads to repeated failures.

Proper Preparation

Successful repairs require proper surface preparation. We clean out cracks, remove loose material, and prepare surfaces so repair materials bond properly. Skipping preparation steps results in repairs that fail quickly.

Quality Materials and Techniques

We use professional-grade repair materials designed for outdoor concrete exposed to weather and traffic. Different repairs need different products. Flexible sealants for cracks that move, rigid repair mortars for structural fixes, and bonding agents to ensure new material sticks to old. We match the technique and materials to your specific repair needs.

Preventing Future Damage

After repairs, we often recommend protective measures to prevent recurring problems. This might include sealing concrete to prevent water intrusion, improving drainage around the repaired area, or addressing underlying issues that caused the original damage.

Regular maintenance extends concrete life significantly. Simple steps like keeping expansion joints clean, sealing cracks early before they spread, and ensuring proper drainage can add many years to your concrete surfaces.
