Concrete Repair & Restoration
Fix damaged concrete and restore surfaces to like-new condition.
When to Repair vs Replace
Not all damaged concrete needs complete replacement. Many issues can be fixed at a fraction of the cost of tearing out and replacing everything. The key is catching problems early and using the right repair method for the damage.
We assess your concrete and give you honest recommendations. Sometimes repair makes sense. Other times, replacement is the smarter long-term investment. We explain your options, show you what each approach involves, and let you make an informed decision. Our goal is to solve your problem in the most cost-effective way, whether that is repair or replacement.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Cracks
Small hairline cracks are common and usually not a structural concern. Wide cracks or cracks that continue to grow may indicate foundation movement or other issues. We fill and seal cracks to prevent water infiltration and further damage. For structural cracks, we address the underlying cause before repairing the surface.
Spalling and Surface Damage
Spalling happens when the concrete surface flakes, chips, or pits. This often results from freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, or poor finishing during installation. We remove the damaged surface layer and apply a repair material that bonds to the existing concrete. For extensive spalling, we may recommend a concrete overlay to restore the entire surface.
Settling and Uneven Surfaces
When concrete settles unevenly, it creates trip hazards and drainage problems. This happens when the soil underneath compresses or washes away. We can lift and level settled concrete using slab jacking techniques. For severe settling, replacement with proper base preparation may be necessary.
Scaling and Deterioration
Scaling is when the concrete surface peels away in layers. This often happens from using salt on icy surfaces or from finishing concrete when it was too wet. We remove the deteriorated material, prepare the surface, and apply a bonding agent and repair mortar. Sealing the repaired area helps prevent future scaling.
Our Repair Methods
We use professional-grade materials designed specifically for concrete repair. These products bond to existing concrete and cure to similar strength. Here are the main repair techniques we use:
- Crack filling and sealing with flexible polyurethane or epoxy
- Surface patching for chips, holes, and spalls
- Concrete resurfacing and overlays for damaged surfaces
- Slab jacking to lift and level settled sections
- Joint repair and re-caulking
- Water intrusion solutions including drainage improvements
After repairs, we often recommend sealing the concrete. A quality sealer protects against moisture, stains, and further deterioration. This is especially important for driveways and surfaces exposed to vehicle traffic, chemicals, or harsh weather.
Concrete Restoration Services
Restoration goes beyond basic repairs. We can transform old, worn concrete into surfaces that look new again. Concrete overlays let us completely change the appearance while adding years to the life of your existing concrete. We can add color, texture, and patterns to match stamped or decorative concrete styles.
Resurfacing works well for patios, pool decks, walkways, and garage floors that have surface damage but structurally sound concrete underneath. The overlay bonds to the existing surface and provides a fresh, durable finish. You get a new look without the cost and disruption of complete replacement.
We also handle concrete cleaning and sealing to restore the appearance of older concrete. Power washing removes years of dirt, oil stains, and grime. Acid staining can add color to plain gray concrete. And professional-grade sealers protect the surface while enhancing its appearance with a subtle sheen.
