Not all concrete problems require full replacement — but some do. At The Art of Concrete, we provide concrete repair and resurfacing services for homeowners who want clear answers, safe solutions, and long‑term performance.

Our approach is straightforward: assess the condition, explain the options, and recommend what makes sense for your home — not what sells the biggest job.

​

Common Concrete Problems We Address

Homeowners contact us when they notice visible or functional issues such as:

• Cracking and surface separation

• Spalling or flaking concrete

• Uneven or settling slabs

• Water pooling or poor drainage

• Worn or deteriorated surfaces

Each issue has different causes, and the right solution depends on the condition beneath the surface.

​

Repair vs. Replacement: What’s the Right Choice?

This is the most important question homeowners ask — and the answer isn’t always replacement.

​

When Concrete Repairs May Be Suitable

• Minor cracking without ongoing movement

• Surface wear or scaling

• Isolated damage that doesn’t affect structure

• Cosmetic improvements to extend lifespan

​

When Replacement Is the Better Long‑Term Solution

• Significant settling or movement

• Structural cracking through the slab

• Failed base or drainage issues

• Multiple past repairs that haven’t held

We explain the pros and cons of each option so homeowners can make an informed decision.

​

Our Concrete Repair & Resurfacing Approach

We don’t believe in surface‑only fixes that fail after a season.

​

Assessment & Preparation

• Identify the cause of damage

• Remove loose or failing material

• Prepare the surface for proper bonding

​

Professional Repair Techniques

• Crack repair using appropriate repair materials

• Resurfacing systems applied with bonding agents

• Repairs designed to move and cure correctly

​

Finishing & Protection

• Blended finishes to match surrounding concrete

• Breathable sealers for protection

• Guidance on curing and maintenance

Our goal is a repair that performs — not just looks good temporarily.

​

Where Repairs Are Commonly Performed

• Driveways

• Steps and porches

• Sidewalks and walkways

• Patios

• Garage floors

Each area is evaluated independently to ensure repairs are appropriate for the surface and usage.

​

Concrete Repair Pricing (General Guidance)

Repair and resurfacing costs depend on:

• Size of the affected area

• Severity of damage

• Repair method required

• Surface preparation needs

After an on‑site assessment, we provide a clear explanation of scope and pricing so expectations are set upfront.
