Concrete Repair and Refinishing

Concrete is one of the most durable building materials, but over time it can crack, stain, and lose its strength. Our concrete repair and refinishing services are designed to restore, protect, and enhance your surfaces—whether in homes, businesses, or industrial spaces.

 

What Is Concrete Repair and Refinishing?

Concrete repair and refinishing is the process of restoring damaged or aged concrete to its original condition—or better. By repairing cracks, resurfacing worn areas, and applying protective finishes, you extend the life of your concrete and improve its appearance.

 

Moisture

It is generally accepted that concrete should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 28 days before traditional coating materials are applied to it, with the exception of cementitious coatings that water cure together with the concrete. This cure duration is based on the time it normally takes for the concrete to achieve sufficient physical strength to allow various trades to perform their work without damaging the concrete. Although it is a civil/structural requirement, the 28-day cure period has been generally accepted as a limiting factor for the coating of concrete as well. Even after the 28-day waiting period, moisture may still be present in the concrete. All initial water in the concrete mix may not have fully reacted, or the concrete may have absorbed additional water from rain or other sources. This water can migrate to the surface and affect the adhesion of coatings.

Concrete slabs in areas of high water tables and/or without the use of proper fill, without a vapor barrier under the slab, may allow moisture mitigation to the surface. In most applications, this is either unnoticed or of minimal impact. If, however, a sealer, coating, or resurfacer is applied, this may become an issue. In the United States, most floor coating manufacturers require concrete floors to reach a water vapor emission rate of either 3 or 5 pounds/1,000 square feet/24 hours before application as measured by calcium chloride tests before coating can commence. The time needed to reach the desired rate varies significantly, ranging from a few weeks to many months.

 

Common Problems That Require Concrete Repair

  • Cracks caused by settling, heavy loads, or temperature changes

  • Stains from oil, chemicals, or water damage

  • Uneven or spalling surfaces from wear and tear

  • Dull, aged finishes that reduce curb appeal

  • Weak surfaces that fail under traffic or heavy machinery

Our Step-by-Step Concrete Repair Process

  • Inspection & Assessment – We carefully examine your concrete to identify visible and hidden damage.

  • Surface Preparation – Using shot blasting or diamond grinding, we clean and profile the surface.

  • Crack & Joint Repair – Structural cracks are filled with high-strength epoxy or mortar.

  • Leveling & Resurfacing – Uneven or damaged areas are smoothed out and rebuilt for durability.

  • Refinishing & Protection – Finally, we apply sealers, epoxy, or decorative coatings for strength and style.
