Concrete Repair & Replacement

When to Repair vs Replace

Not every crack or chip means you need to tear out your entire driveway or patio. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need, and other times replacement is the smarter choice. Knowing the difference can save you time and money.

If your concrete has small cracks, surface damage, or minor settling, we can often repair it without replacing the whole thing. But if the concrete has major structural problems, large cracks that keep getting worse, or extensive damage, replacement is usually the better option. We will inspect your concrete and give you an honest recommendation.

In DeKalb County, soil movement and weather changes can cause concrete to crack over time. We see this all the time, and we know how to fix it properly. Whether you need a quick repair or a full replacement, we have the tools and experience to get the job done right.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Cracks

Cracks happen for many reasons. Temperature changes, settling, tree roots, and heavy loads can all cause concrete to crack. Small cracks can be filled and sealed to prevent water from getting in and making them worse. Larger cracks may need to be cut out and patched with new concrete.

Sunken or Settled Slabs

When the soil under your concrete shifts or washes away, the slab can sink. This creates uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and drainage problems. We can lift and level sunken concrete using specialized techniques, or we can remove and replace the section if needed.

Spalling and Surface Damage

Spalling is when the surface of the concrete starts to flake, chip, or peel away. This usually happens when water gets into the concrete, freezes, and expands. We can grind down the damaged surface and apply a new overlay, or we can replace the damaged section entirely.

Edge Damage

The edges of driveways, sidewalks, and patios are the most vulnerable to damage. Heavy equipment, vehicles, and weather can all cause the edges to break off. We can rebuild damaged edges and reinforce them so they last longer this time.

Our Repair and Replacement Process

We start every job with a thorough inspection. We look at the extent of the damage, check for underlying issues, and figure out what caused the problem in the first place. Fixing the symptom without addressing the cause just means the problem will come back.

• •Inspection: We evaluate the damage and identify the root cause so we can fix it permanently.
• •Preparation: We remove damaged concrete, clean the area, and prepare the base to prevent future problems.
• •Repair or replacement: We patch cracks, level slabs, or pour new concrete depending on what the job requires.
• •Finishing: We match the finish to your existing concrete so the repair blends in seamlessly.
• •Sealing: We apply a sealer to protect the new concrete and help it last as long as possible.

Every repair is different, and we customize our approach based on what your concrete needs. You can trust us to do the job right the first time.
