Concrete Repair & Restoration

Restore Your Damaged Concrete Instead of Replacing It

Cracks, chips, and surface damage don't always mean you need to tear out and replace your concrete. In many cases, professional repair and restoration can fix the problem, extend the life of your concrete, and save you thousands compared to replacement.

At LocalCrew Laguna Niguel Concrete, we specialize in repairing and restoring damaged concrete surfaces. Whether your driveway has cracks, your patio has spalling, or your walkway has settled unevenly, we have the tools and expertise to bring it back to excellent condition.

Not every crack is a crisis, but ignoring concrete damage lets it get worse. Water seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, and causes more damage over time. We fix problems before they become expensive replacements.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Concrete damage comes in many forms. Here are the issues we repair most often for Laguna Niguel homeowners and businesses:

• Cracks: From hairline surface cracks to wider structural cracks, we have repair methods for all severities
• Spalling and Flaking: Surface deterioration where the top layer chips off, exposing aggregate underneath
• Uneven or Sunken Slabs: Settling that creates trip hazards and drainage problems
• Scaling and Pitting: Surface damage from freeze-thaw cycles or chemical exposure
• Edge Damage: Broken or crumbling edges along driveways, steps, or slabs
• Discoloration and Staining: Cosmetic issues that affect appearance but not structural integrity

Each problem requires a different repair approach. We assess your concrete damage, identify the underlying cause, and recommend the most effective repair method for your situation.

Professional Repair Methods That Last

Quality concrete repair isn't just about filling cracks with anything that sticks. We use professional techniques and materials designed specifically for permanent repairs.

Crack Repair: We route out cracks to create a proper repair channel, clean thoroughly, and fill with flexible polyurethane or epoxy compounds that move with the concrete and prevent water intrusion.

Spalling Repair: Damaged surface areas are ground smooth, cleaned, and resurfaced with polymer-modified concrete that bonds to the existing surface and resists future deterioration.

Slab Leveling: We use mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection to lift sunken slabs back to the proper level, eliminating trip hazards and improving drainage.

Resurfacing: For widespread surface damage, we apply a thin overlay of specialized concrete that restores appearance and provides a fresh, durable surface. Consider our decorative concrete options if you want to upgrade the look during resurfacing.

When to Repair vs Replace Your Concrete

The decision to repair or replace depends on several factors including the extent of damage, the age of the concrete, and your long-term plans for the property.

Good Candidates for Repair: Isolated cracks, minor spalling, small settled areas, surface stains, and damage affecting less than 30 percent of the surface area. Repairs typically cost 30 to 60 percent less than replacement.

Better Candidates for Replacement: Extensive cracking throughout, major structural issues, severe settling, or deterioration affecting most of the surface. Sometimes starting fresh makes more sense economically and structurally.

We provide honest assessments of your concrete condition. If repair isn't the best solution, we'll tell you and explain why replacement makes more sense for your situation. Need new patio installation instead of repair? We handle that too.
