Concrete Repair & Restoration

When to Repair Instead of Replace

Not every damaged concrete surface needs complete replacement. Many issues can be fixed at a fraction of the cost. Cracks, surface spalling, minor settling, and cosmetic damage are often repairable if the underlying structure is still sound.

We assess your concrete honestly and tell you whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the better option. Sometimes a repair extends the life of your concrete by years and saves you thousands compared to full replacement. Other times, extensive damage means starting over is actually more cost-effective.

Our team has repaired concrete throughout Vallejo for years. We know what works and what doesn't. You'll get straightforward advice based on what's best for your situation, not what makes us the most money.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Here are the issues we handle most often:

• Cracks in driveways, patios, and walkways
• Surface spalling and scaling
• Minor settling and unevenness
• Trip hazards from lifted sections
• Staining and discoloration
• Deteriorated control joints
• Damaged expansion joints
• Surface pitting and weathering

Each problem has specific repair methods. Small cracks get filled and sealed. Spalled surfaces get resurfaced. Settled sections can sometimes be lifted with mudjacking. We match the repair method to your specific damage for results that last.

Our Repair Methods

We use proven techniques that stand up to Vallejo weather and daily use. For cracks, we clean them out, prep the edges, and fill them with flexible sealant or epoxy depending on the crack type. This prevents water intrusion and stops cracks from growing.

For surface damage like spalling, we remove the damaged concrete, prep the surface, and apply a bonding agent before placing new concrete or overlay material. This creates a strong bond between old and new concrete. The repair blends in and performs just like the original surface.

When concrete has settled and created trip hazards, we can sometimes lift it back to level using mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection. This is much faster and cheaper than removing and replacing concrete. It works great for sidewalks and walkways where individual slabs have settled.

For cosmetic issues like staining, we offer cleaning and sealing services that restore the original appearance. If your decorative concrete has faded or worn, we can reseal it to bring back the color and protection.

Preventing Future Damage

After we repair your concrete, we'll talk about prevention. Proper sealing protects against water damage and freeze-thaw cycles. Keeping drainage working prevents undermining. Simple maintenance extends the life of both your repairs and your existing concrete.

We can set up a maintenance schedule if you want ongoing care for your concrete surfaces. Regular sealing and cleaning prevents problems before they start.
