Concrete Repair
Cracks, chips, pitting and flaking concrete get worse with every Minnesota freeze-thaw cycle. We fix the damage so it's smooth, safe and ready for a coating or sealer.
How we do it
- 01
Inspect
We look at what's causing the damage and show you what can be fixed.
- 02
Open & clean
Cracks are cut open and loose, flaking concrete is removed so the repair bonds to solid material.
- 03
Fill & patch
We fill cracks and rebuild chipped or flaking areas with repair materials made for concrete.
- 04
Grind flush
Repairs are ground level with the surrounding slab so there are no bumps or edges.
Why repair now
- Water gets into cracks, freezes and makes them bigger every winter
- Removes trip hazards on steps, walkways and garage floors
- A fraction of the cost of tearing out and replacing concrete
- Gives a coating or sealer a solid base to bond to
Good to know
- On bare concrete, repairs may not match the color exactly. A coating or sealer covers this
- Floors that have heaved or settled unevenly can often be leveled with an overlayment. If a slab is too far gone, we'll tell you
- Planning a floor coating? Repairs are included in our epoxy and polyurea prep
Before & after
This garage edge had broken apart where it meets the driveway. We removed the loose concrete, rebuilt the edge and finished the floor with a flake coating.
Level it with an overlayment
When a slab has heaved, sunk or settled unevenly, you don't always have to tear it out. We bond a new cement-based overlayment over the existing concrete to bring it back to a flat, level surface. It's ready for a coating or finished as is.
- Fixes low spots, lips and uneven slabs
- No tear-out, so less cost and mess
- Can be coated, sealed or textured after
- We check the slab first to make sure it's a good fit
Cracks, pitting & broken concrete
From small hairline and shrinkage cracks to wide, separated joints, any crack left alone can spread and let water in. These are the kinds of damage we fix every day.
