Concrete Repair & Replacement
We fix cracked, damaged, or worn concrete to restore safety and curb appeal to your property.
Signs Your Concrete Needs Repair
Concrete is tough, but it does not last forever. Over time, weather, heavy use, and ground movement can cause damage. The good news is that catching problems early can save you money and keep your property safe. Here is what to watch for.
Cracks are the most obvious sign. Small hairline cracks might seem harmless, but they let water seep in. When water freezes and expands, those tiny cracks become big problems. You might also notice uneven surfaces where one section has settled lower than another. This creates trip hazards and looks bad too.
Common Problems We Fix
- •Cracked driveways, patios, and walkways that let water damage the base underneath
- •Sunken or uneven slabs that create dangerous trip hazards for your family and guests
- •Spalling surfaces where the top layer flakes off and exposes rough concrete beneath
- •Crumbling edges and corners that worsen quickly without professional attention
- •Standing water or drainage issues that signal foundation problems below the surface
These problems only get worse with time. What starts as a small crack can turn into a safety hazard or require full replacement if you wait too long. We help Goldsboro homeowners fix issues before they become expensive disasters.
When to Repair and When to Replace
Not every damaged concrete surface needs to be torn out and replaced. Sometimes a targeted repair saves you thousands of dollars and extends the life of your concrete by many years. Other times, replacement makes more sense. Here is how we help you decide.
Good Candidates for Repair
If your concrete is less than 15 years old and the damage covers less than a third of the surface, repair often works great. We can fill cracks, level sunken sections, and resurface worn areas. This approach costs less and gets done faster than full replacement. Your concrete work looks good as new without the hassle of tearing everything out.
When Replacement Makes Sense
Older concrete with widespread cracking, major settling, or serious structural damage usually needs replacement. If more than a third of the surface is damaged, patching becomes a waste of money. You will keep calling us back to fix new problems. At that point, starting fresh with new concrete gives you better value and lasts much longer.
We give you an honest assessment during your free quote. If repair will work, we will tell you. If replacement saves you money in the long run, we explain why. Our goal is to solve your problem the right way, not just make a quick sale. Many of our driveway replacement projects in Goldsboro start with a repair quote that shows replacement makes more financial sense.
How We Fix Your Concrete Right
Professional concrete repair requires skill and the right materials. We do not just slap some patch mix over a crack and call it done. Our process ensures repairs last for years and blend seamlessly with your existing concrete.
Step One: Assessment and Prep
We start by finding the root cause of the damage. Is water draining properly? Has the ground settled? Are tree roots pushing up from below? Fixing the symptom without addressing the cause means the problem comes right back. Once we understand what went wrong, we clean the damaged area thoroughly. Any loose concrete gets removed, and we clean away dirt, debris, and anything that would prevent good adhesion.
Step Two: The Fix
For cracks, we use specialized fillers that bond to the existing concrete and flex slightly with temperature changes. For sunken sections, we may use concrete leveling techniques to raise the slab back to where it should be. For surface damage, we apply a resurfacing compound that bonds to the old concrete and creates a fresh, smooth finish.
Step Three: Finishing and Protection
After the repair material cures, we match the texture and finish to your existing concrete as closely as possible. We also make sure water drains away properly so the same problem does not happen again. Many repairs can be walked on within 24 hours, though we recommend waiting a few days before heavy use. This attention to detail is what makes our work stand out from DIY patches that fail within months.
