Do Not Replace It If You Can Fix It

Concrete damage happens. Years of weather, heavy use, and ground movement take their toll on even the best concrete surfaces. Cracks appear, sections sink, and edges crumble. The good news is that you do not always need to rip everything out and start over. In many cases, we can repair or restore your concrete for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

We have repaired driveways, patios, sidewalks, and more throughout Quincy and Adams County. Whether you have a small crack that needs filling or a large section that has settled and needs leveling, we can assess the damage and recommend the best solution. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, replacement is the smarter long-term investment. We give you honest advice based on what will work best for your situation.

If your concrete is starting to show signs of wear, do not wait until the damage gets worse. Small problems turn into big problems when you ignore them. We can help you protect your investment and keep your property safe and functional.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Every concrete problem is a little different, but most fall into a few common categories. Here are the issues we see most often and how we fix them.

Cracks

Cracks are the most common concrete problem. Some cracks are cosmetic and do not affect the structural integrity of the surface. Others allow water to seep in, which leads to more damage over time. We repair cracks using epoxy injection, routing and sealing, or resurfacing, depending on the size and severity. Small cracks can be filled and sealed. Larger cracks may require cutting out the damaged section and patching it with new concrete.

Sunken or Settled Slabs

When the ground beneath concrete shifts or compacts, the slab sinks. This creates uneven surfaces, tripping hazards, and drainage problems. We use slab jacking or mudjacking to lift the concrete back to its original level. This process involves pumping a lifting material under the slab to raise it. It is faster and more affordable than replacing the entire section.

Spalling and Surface Damage

Spalling is when the surface of the concrete flakes, chips, or peels away. It is usually caused by freeze-thaw cycles, poor finishing, or exposure to deicing salts. Surface damage makes concrete look old and worn, and it can worsen quickly if left untreated. We can grind down the damaged layer and apply a resurfacing compound to restore the appearance and protect the concrete underneath.

Broken Edges and Corners

Edges and corners take the most abuse. They get hit by cars, lawnmowers, and snowplows. When they break off, they create sharp edges and make the concrete look sloppy. We can cut out the damaged area and patch it with fresh concrete that blends with the rest of the surface. Once it cures and weathers, you will barely notice the repair.

If your concrete is beyond repair, we can remove the old surface and pour new concrete. We handle everything from small patches to full replacements. If you need a complete driveway replacement or new patio installation, we can take care of that too.

When to Repair and When to Replace

Deciding whether to repair or replace concrete depends on a few factors. Here is how we help you make the right call.

Extent of Damage: If less than half the surface is damaged, repair is usually the better option. If more than half is cracked, sunken, or deteriorated, replacement makes more sense.
Age of the Concrete: Older concrete that has been patched multiple times may be nearing the end of its lifespan. At that point, replacement gives you a fresh start and peace of mind.
Structural Issues: If the base or subgrade has failed, repairs will not last. The underlying problem needs to be fixed first, which often means replacement.
Budget and Timeline: Repairs are faster and less expensive upfront. Replacement costs more but gives you a longer-lasting result.
Appearance: If you want a consistent, uniform look, replacement is the way to go. Repairs can blend in well, but they will never match perfectly.

We always give you an honest assessment. If repair is the right choice, we will tell you. If replacement is the smarter investment, we will explain why. Our goal is to give you the best solution for your property and your budget.

We also offer free estimates. We will come to your property, inspect the damage, and give you a detailed quote. No pressure, no obligation. Just straightforward advice and fair pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

The lifespan of a repair depends on the type of damage and the repair method used. Surface repairs like crack filling and resurfacing typically last 5 to 10 years. Structural repairs like slab jacking can last 10 to 20 years or more if the underlying cause is addressed. Proper maintenance, like sealing the concrete and fixing drainage issues, helps repairs last longer.

We do our best to match the color, but concrete changes over time as it weathers and ages. New concrete will always look a bit different at first. We can use color additives and stains to get closer to the original shade, and over time the colors will blend together naturally. For larger repairs or replacements, we can resurface the entire area to create a uniform look.

Repair is almost always cheaper upfront. A simple crack repair or slab leveling costs a fraction of what full replacement does. However, if the damage is extensive or the concrete is old and failing in multiple places, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. We can assess your situation and give you pricing for both options so you can make an informed decision.
