Concrete Repair & Replacement
Can you repair cracked or damaged concrete?
Can you resurface old concrete instead of replacing it?
My concrete is flaking or spalling—what can be done?
Cracks can be repaired, but only temporarily. In some cases, a full replacement may be a better long-term solution.
Yes, resurfacing is an option for concrete that is structurally sound but needs a refreshed appearance. Epoxy surfacing is often times a good solution.
Flaking or spalling can result from freeze-thaw cycles or improper sealing. We can assess the damage and recommend the best solution, whether it’s resurfacing or sealing.
