Should I repair or replace my concrete?

If the damage covers less than 30 percent of the surface and the base is still stable, repair usually makes sense. Widespread cracking, major settling, or structural problems often mean replacement is more cost-effective long-term. We evaluate your concrete and give you honest recommendations based on the condition.

How do you match existing concrete?

Matching old concrete perfectly is difficult because concrete changes color as it ages. We get as close as possible by adjusting the mix design, adding color if needed, and matching the surface finish. New concrete often starts darker and lightens over a few months as it weathers.

Can you repair just one section?

Yes, we remove and replace individual sections all the time. We cut out the damaged area, prepare the base, and pour new concrete to match the existing surface as closely as possible. This works well for isolated damage and costs much less than replacing the entire driveway or patio.

Why Concrete Repair Matters

Cracked or uneven concrete is more than just an eyesore. It creates trip hazards for your family and guests, allows water to seep underneath and cause more damage, and can lower your property value. The good news is that many concrete problems can be fixed without tearing everything out and starting over.

Here in Mesquite, our concrete takes a beating from temperature swings, desert winds, and the occasional heavy rain. Small cracks can quickly turn into big problems if you ignore them. That is why catching issues early and getting them repaired properly makes such a difference.

Common Signs You Need Repair

•Visible cracks wider than a quarter inch that keep growing
•Uneven sections where one slab has sunk lower than another
•Spalling or flaking where the surface layer is peeling off
•Water pooling in spots where drainage used to work fine
•Exposed aggregate or rebar showing through the surface

If you have noticed any of these issues around your concrete driveway or patio, it is time to call us. We will assess the damage and recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether that is repair or replacement.

Our Repair Process

We start every job with a thorough inspection. Not all concrete damage is the same, and the right fix depends on what caused the problem in the first place. Sometimes the issue is just cosmetic and can be patched. Other times, the soil underneath has shifted and we need to address that before doing any surface work.

Step-by-Step Approach

First, we evaluate the extent of the damage. We check for structural issues, measure how much the concrete has settled or shifted, and look at what is happening with the subgrade. This helps us determine whether repair or full replacement makes more sense for your situation and your budget.

For cracks and surface damage, we use high-quality repair materials designed to bond with existing concrete. We clean out the damaged areas, prepare the surface properly, and fill cracks with flexible sealants that move with the concrete as temperatures change. For larger repairs, we may remove sections of damaged concrete and pour fresh material that matches your existing surface.

When concrete has sunk or settled, we often use mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection to lift it back to the correct level. This is faster and more affordable than tearing out and replacing the entire slab. Once the concrete is level again, we seal any joints and cracks to prevent water intrusion.

After the repair work is complete, we take steps to protect your investment. This might include applying a sealer to the entire surface, improving drainage around the repaired area, or recommending maintenance practices to help your concrete last longer. Our goal is to give you a permanent fix, not just a temporary band-aid.

When to Repair vs. Replace

One of the most common questions we get is whether damaged concrete should be repaired or completely replaced. The answer depends on how bad the damage is, how old the concrete is, and what you want the finished result to look like.

Repair Makes Sense When

If your concrete is relatively new and the damage is limited to a few cracks or small settled areas, repair is usually the way to go. It saves you money and gets the job done faster. Modern repair materials are incredibly durable when applied correctly.

We can also repair concrete that has surface damage like spalling or minor scaling. By grinding down the damaged layer and applying a resurfacing compound, we can restore both the appearance and the function of your concrete surfaces without the expense of replacement.

Replacement Is Better When

Sometimes the damage is too extensive for repair to make sense. If you have widespread cracking throughout a slab, major structural issues, or concrete that is already decades old and showing its age, replacement might be the smarter long-term investment.

Replacement also gives you a chance to upgrade. Maybe you want to switch to stamped or decorative concrete, improve the thickness for better durability, or redesign the layout entirely. Starting fresh lets you customize everything to your current needs.

We will be honest with you about which approach makes the most sense for your situation. Our recommendation is always based on giving you the best value and longest-lasting results, not on trying to sell you the most expensive option.
