Concrete Repair & Restoration
Fix damaged concrete and restore surfaces to like-new condition without full replacement.
Not every damaged concrete surface needs to be completely replaced. Many problems can be fixed with professional repair and restoration techniques that cost a fraction of full replacement. The key is knowing when repair makes sense and using the right methods to make lasting fixes.
We specialize in concrete repair for driveways, patios, walkways, and other surfaces around Apopka. Whether you're dealing with cracks, spalling, settling, or surface damage, we can evaluate your concrete and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes that means repair, sometimes replacement is smarter, but we'll always give you honest advice about what makes the most sense for your situation.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Concrete can develop various issues over time, especially in Florida's climate. Here are the most common problems we see and repair.
- •Cracks: From hairline to wide cracks, we can seal and reinforce them to prevent further damage
- •Spalling and surface damage: When the top layer flakes or chips off, we can resurface the area
- •Settling and sunken sections: Lifting sunken concrete back to level using mudjacking or foam injection
- •Trip hazards: Grinding down lips and uneven edges to create smooth transitions
- •Discoloration and staining: Cleaning, etching, or resurfacing to restore appearance
Repair Methods We Use
Different problems require different solutions. We use proven repair techniques that address the underlying issue, not just cover up the symptoms.
Crack Repair and Sealing
For cracks, we clean them out thoroughly, then fill with flexible sealants or epoxy depending on the crack size and location. Control joints can be added to prevent new cracks from forming in weak areas. This stops water infiltration and prevents the cracks from spreading.
Concrete Leveling
When sections of your driveway or walkway have sunk, we can often lift them back to the original level. This process, called mudjacking or slabjacking, pumps material underneath the concrete to raise it. It's much less expensive than replacing entire sections and can be done in a day.
Resurfacing and Overlays
For surface damage or when you want to refresh the appearance, we can apply a thin overlay of new concrete over the existing surface. This gives you a brand new-looking surface without the cost and mess of full replacement. Overlays can be plain, colored, or textured to match your existing concrete or create a completely new look.
When to Repair vs Replace
Repair makes sense when the underlying structure is still sound but has surface damage, minor cracks, or settling issues. If more than 30% of your concrete is damaged, or if there are structural problems with the base or reinforcement, replacement is usually the better investment. We'll inspect your concrete honestly and tell you which approach makes more sense. Our goal is to save you money when repair will work, not sell you unnecessary replacement.
