Repairs & Replacements

Fix the cause, then fix the concrete.

Overview

Explore our Repairs & Replacements work

Cracked, heaved and spalling concrete usually has a cause underneath it: a base that was never compacted, water running the wrong direction, a tree root, or salt damage on a slab that was sealed too late. Patching the surface without dealing with that cause buys you a season or two at most.

We will tell you straight whether a section can be replaced or whether the run is at the end of its life. Partial replacement to the joint lines saves real money when it makes sense, and we will say so rather than quoting a full tear-out by default.

How it works

Our Repairs & Replacements process

No mystery, no surprises — here's exactly how a job runs from the first call to the final walkthrough.

  1. 01

    Diagnose the cause

    We look at drainage, base condition, roots and salt exposure to figure out why this slab failed before we quote replacing it.

  2. 02

    Scope honestly

    We identify what can be replaced panel-by-panel to the joint lines versus what needs to come out entirely, and price both where both are viable.

  3. 03

    Removal and haul-off

    Failed concrete comes out cleanly and leaves the property.

  4. 04

    Fix what caused it

    Base gets rebuilt and compacted, grades get corrected, and drainage gets addressed so the new slab isn't set up to fail the same way.

  5. 05

    Repour and match

    New concrete goes in with correct reinforcement and joints, finished to match the adjacent surface as closely as concrete allows.
