Concrete Repair & Restoration
Fix cracks, uneven surfaces, and damaged concrete before small problems become expensive replacements.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Concrete doesn't last forever. Over time, cracks develop, surfaces spall and flake, and slabs settle unevenly. Some of this is normal aging, but problems get worse if you ignore them. Water gets into cracks and causes more damage. Uneven sections become trip hazards. What starts as a minor cosmetic issue turns into a safety problem or major structural concern.
In Fremont, we see certain problems more often than others. Tree roots lift driveways and walkways. Settling causes one section to drop lower than adjacent areas. Poor drainage leads to erosion under slabs. Freeze-thaw cycles, though mild here, still cause surface spalling over decades. The good news is many concrete problems can be fixed without complete replacement.

When to Repair vs Replace
Not every concrete problem needs a complete tearout. Small cracks, minor settling, and surface damage can often be repaired at a fraction of replacement cost. Repairs work best when the underlying structure is still sound. If the base has failed or large sections have heaved significantly, replacement makes more sense.
We'll give you an honest assessment during your free inspection. Sometimes repair buys you a few more years while you save for eventual replacement. Other times it's a permanent fix that costs much less than new concrete. We explain your options with clear pricing so you can make the right decision for your budget and timeline. If replacement is needed, we handle everything from new driveways to patios.
Our Repair Process
Every repair job starts with identifying why the problem happened. Cracks often result from settling or missing control joints. Spalling happens when water freezes in the surface layer or when low-quality concrete was used originally. Understanding the cause helps us fix it properly.
For crack repair, we clean out loose material and fill with flexible polyurethane or epoxy sealants. These materials move with the concrete and keep water out. Surface spalling gets ground smooth and resurfaced with polymer-modified concrete that bonds to the old surface. Sunken slabs can be lifted by pumping material underneath, raising them back to proper height.
Most repairs are completed in one day with minimal disruption. You'll be able to use the repaired concrete within 24 hours in most cases. Repairs aren't as pretty as brand new concrete, but they stop deterioration and extend the life of your existing work by years. When you're ready for other improvements, we also offer all concrete services throughout Fremont.
