Concrete Repair & Replacement

When to Repair vs Replace

Not every concrete problem requires complete replacement. Sometimes a targeted repair saves you money and extends the life of your existing concrete. Other times, replacement is the smarter long-term investment. Here is how we help you decide which approach makes sense for your situation.

Minor surface cracks, small chips, and cosmetic damage often respond well to repair. But if your concrete has settled significantly, has structural cracks throughout, or shows signs of failed reinforcement, replacement typically delivers better value. We provide honest assessments and explain your options clearly so you can make the right choice for your concrete repair needs.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Concrete damage happens for many reasons. Understanding what caused the problem helps us fix it permanently. Here are the most common concrete issues we see in Montebello:

• •Cracks: From hairline surface cracks to structural breaks that indicate foundation movement or settlement issues
• •Spalling and Flaking: Surface concrete that chips, flakes, or breaks away due to moisture damage or freeze-thaw cycles
• •Sinking or Settlement: Sections that have dropped or tilted because the soil underneath has compacted or washed away
• •Trip Hazards: Uneven surfaces where sections have settled at different rates, creating dangerous height differences
• •Drainage Problems: Concrete that slopes toward buildings or pools water instead of draining properly
• •Deteriorated Surfaces: Worn, pitted, or damaged concrete that looks bad and gets worse each year

Our Repair Methods

We use proven repair techniques that match the specific problem. The goal is always permanent repair that looks good and performs well for years to come.

Crack Repair and Sealing

Small cracks can be cleaned and filled with specialized concrete repair materials or epoxy injections. We clean out debris, prepare the crack properly, and use flexible sealants that move with the concrete. This prevents water intrusion and stops cracks from spreading.

Concrete Resurfacing

When surface damage is widespread but the underlying structure is sound, resurfacing provides a cost-effective solution. We apply a new layer of specialized concrete overlay that bonds to the existing surface, creating a fresh, durable finish. This works great for worn driveways and patios with cosmetic damage.

Slab Leveling and Lifting

Sunken concrete can often be lifted back to proper grade using specialized techniques. This eliminates trip hazards and restores proper drainage without the expense of complete replacement. Not every situation allows for lifting, but when it works, it saves significant money.

Partial or Complete Replacement

When concrete is too far gone for repair, replacement is the answer. We can remove and replace individual sections or entire slabs depending on your needs and budget. New concrete is poured to match existing surfaces or designed to improve on the original installation.

Why Choose Professional Repair

DIY concrete repair rarely works long-term. The materials you find at home improvement stores do not bond properly or withstand weather and use. Professional repair uses commercial-grade materials, proper surface preparation, and techniques that deliver lasting results.

We have the equipment, experience, and material knowledge to fix concrete problems correctly the first time. Our repairs blend seamlessly with existing concrete and hold up to daily use and weather exposure. When you invest in professional concrete repair, you get results that actually last.
