Concrete Repair & Replacement

Cracked, damaged, or deteriorating concrete does not have to stay that way. Small problems often need simple repairs that cost far less than replacement. Bigger problems might require tearing out old concrete and starting fresh. We evaluate your concrete honestly, explain your options, and help you choose the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.

Whether you need to patch a few cracks, resurface a worn driveway, or replace an entire section of concrete, we handle it all. You get a crew that shows up prepared, works efficiently, and delivers results that last. No band-aid fixes that fail in six months, just quality repairs and replacements that stand the test of time in Wesley Chapel weather.

When to Repair and When to Replace

Deciding between repair and replacement comes down to how much damage you have and what condition the concrete is in overall. Small cracks, minor surface damage, and isolated problem areas usually qualify for repair. If the damage covers less than 30 percent of the surface and the concrete is still structurally sound, repairing makes more financial sense than replacing everything.

Replacement becomes necessary when damage is widespread or the concrete has deteriorated throughout. Deep cracks that go all the way through the slab, large areas of spalling where the surface has flaked off, or concrete that has sunk and cracked severely all point toward replacement. Sometimes trying to patch badly damaged concrete ends up costing more than just replacing it and doing the job right.

We look at factors like the age of the concrete, the severity and extent of damage, and what caused the problem in the first place. If poor drainage or soil issues caused the damage, we need to fix those underlying problems whether we repair or replace. Otherwise, the same issues will come back. Our job is to give you honest advice about what your concrete needs, not to upsell you on services that will not solve the real problem.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Cracks are the most common concrete issue. Hairline cracks might be cosmetic, but wider cracks let water in and get worse over time. We fill and seal cracks to prevent further damage and restore a smooth appearance. For small cracks, the repair is quick and inexpensive. Larger cracks might need more extensive work to ensure they stay fixed.

Spalling is another frequent problem, especially in older concrete. The surface starts flaking off in layers, usually because water got in and went through freeze-thaw cycles or because the concrete was not mixed or finished properly. We remove the damaged surface and apply a resurfacer or overlay that bonds to the old concrete and creates a fresh, durable finish. In some cases, options like concrete leveling can address sunken areas without full replacement.

Our Repair Process Explained

Every repair starts with cleaning and preparing the damaged area. We remove loose concrete, dirt, and debris so the repair material bonds properly. For cracks, we sometimes widen them slightly with a grinder to create a clean edge that holds filler better. For spalling, we grind down the damaged surface to solid concrete underneath.

Once the area is prepped, we apply the repair material. For cracks, we use epoxy or polyurethane fillers that flex with the concrete and prevent water intrusion. For surface repairs, we use polymer-modified concrete or resurfacing compounds that bond strongly and match the appearance of the existing concrete. These modern materials work far better than old patching methods and last much longer.

After the repair material cures, we finish and seal the surface. A good sealer protects the repair and the surrounding concrete from water, stains, and UV damage. It also makes the repaired area blend better with the rest of the concrete. When we finish, you should barely notice where the repair was done. The goal is to restore function and appearance so your concrete looks good and performs well for years to come.

When Full Replacement Makes Sense

Sometimes concrete is too far gone to repair effectively. If more than a third of your driveway is cracked, or your patio has sunk in multiple places, patching will not give you a reliable long-term solution. In these cases, removing the old concrete and pouring fresh is the better choice. You get a clean slate, a proper base, and concrete that will last another 30 years instead of limping along with constant repairs.

Replacement also makes sense when you want to upgrade or change something. Maybe your driveway is narrow and you want to widen it. Maybe your patio is plain and you want stamped decorative concrete instead. Maybe the concrete is old and you just want something fresh and modern. Replacement gives you the opportunity to improve functionality and appearance at the same time.

We handle the entire replacement process from demolition to final finish. We remove the old concrete, haul it away, prepare the base properly, and pour new concrete built to last. You get the same quality workmanship we put into every project, whether it is a small repair or a complete replacement. When you need a fresh start, we deliver results you can count on.
