Concrete Repair & Replacement
We fix damaged concrete and restore your surfaces to like-new condition.
Why Concrete Repair Matters
Cracks and damage in your concrete don't just look bad. They get worse over time. Water seeps in, freezes, and makes the cracks bigger. Before you know it, your driveway or patio has become a safety hazard and an eyesore that hurts your property value.
We see this all the time in Andover and throughout Massachusetts. Our freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on concrete. Small cracks turn into big problems fast. That's why catching damage early saves you money and headaches down the road.
Whether you have a small crack in your walkway or major damage that needs full replacement, we handle it all. Our team knows exactly how to assess the damage and recommend the right fix. Sometimes repair is enough. Other times, replacement makes more sense. We'll give you honest advice based on what we see.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Here are the most common issues we see with concrete surfaces around Andover. If you notice any of these problems, give us a call. We can usually fix them before they turn into bigger, more expensive issues.
Surface Damage
- Cracks from settling, tree roots, or freeze-thaw damage
- Spalling where the surface flakes or chips away
- Scaling caused by deicing salts or poor finishing
- Discoloration from rust, oil stains, or weather damage
- Uneven surfaces that create trip hazards
Structural Issues
Sometimes the damage goes deeper than the surface. We see foundation slabs that have shifted, driveways with major settling, and steps that have pulled away from the house. These problems need professional attention because they affect the structural integrity of your property.
Our team inspects the entire area, not just the visible damage. We look at what's causing the problem so we can fix it permanently. This might mean improving drainage, stabilizing the soil, or replacing sections that are beyond repair. You get a solution that lasts, not just a quick patch job.
Repair vs. Replacement: Making the Right Choice
This is the big question we get asked all the time. Should you repair what you have or replace it entirely? The answer depends on several factors, and we walk you through all of them during your free consultation.
When Repair Makes Sense
If your concrete is generally in good shape with isolated damage, repair is usually the way to go. We can fix cracks, fill holes, resurface worn areas, and level sunken sections. Modern repair materials bond incredibly well with existing concrete, and when done right, repairs can last for years. Plus, repair costs a fraction of what replacement does.
When Replacement is Better
Sometimes the damage is too extensive to repair effectively. If more than 30 percent of your surface is damaged, replacement usually makes more financial sense. The same goes for concrete that has major structural issues, like severe settling or foundation problems.
Replacement also gives you a chance to upgrade. Maybe you want to add decorative stamped concrete or improve drainage. We can incorporate these improvements into your new installation, giving you something better than what you had before.
