About Our Repair & Resurfacing Service

Full tear-out and replacement is not always necessary — and in many cases, it is not the most cost-effective solution either. Our repair division specializes in diagnosing the root cause of concrete and asphalt failure (soil settlement, poor drainage, sub-base erosion, reinforcement corrosion) and applying the right corrective method. For sunken or uneven slabs, we use polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize without excavation. For surface deterioration, we apply commercial-grade overlay systems that restore both appearance and structural integrity. Every repair starts with a documented assessment so you understand exactly what failed, why it failed, and what we are doing to prevent it from happening again.

What's Included

  • Polyurethane foam slab lifting & stabilization
  • Structural crack repair with epoxy injection
  • Bonded concrete overlay & micro-topping systems
  • Decorative resurfacing with color & texture options
  • Root cause assessment & drainage correction
  • Protective sealcoating & waterproof membrane application

Documented Outcomes

Typically 50-70% less than full tear-out and replacement

Most repairs completed within 24-48 hours

Minimal property disruption — no heavy demolition equipment

Documented to extend surface service life 10-20 years

What Affects Repair & Resurfacing Cost?

Repair method

Crack fill $3–5/lf, polyurethane leveling $3–6/sf, overlay $5–12/sf, patching $10–15/sf

Root cause

Small repairs cost more per sf, bulk resurfacing more economical

Decorative finish

Plain overlay vs stamped/colored overlay ($4–6/sf difference)

Access & conditions

Difficult access or pool-side repairs add 15–25% labor

Material waste

Small patches waste material; larger projects more efficient

Decision Guide

Is Repair & Resurfacing Right for You?

Honest guidance on when this service fits — and when to consider alternatives.

Choose Repair & Resurfacing When...

  • Surface has cracks but sub-base is sound
  • Driveway or patio has settled creating trip hazards
  • Appearance is the main issue, not structure
  • Budget is significantly less than replacement
  • Property needs quick turnaround (1–3 days)

Consider Alternatives When...

  • Slab has major structural failure (full replacement needed)
  • Sub-base has severe erosion or drainage issues
  • Multiple large areas of damage — replacement may be more cost-effective

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about repair & resurfacing in South Florida, answered by our team.

How much does concrete repair cost?

Concrete repairs in South Florida range from $500–$8,000 depending on method and scope. Crack repair starts at $300–$800, polyurethane slab leveling runs $3–6 per square foot, and resurfacing overlays cost $5–12 per square foot. Most residential repairs complete in 1–3 days and cost 50–70% less than full replacement.

Can you fix a sunken concrete driveway without replacing it?

Yes, polyurethane foam injection (also called PolyLevel or mudjacking alternative) lifts sunken concrete back to grade by injecting expanding foam beneath the slab. Cost is $3–6 per square foot — about 75% less than replacement. Takes 2–4 hours for most driveways and you can drive on it immediately.

What causes concrete to crack?

Common causes: soil settlement beneath the slab, drainage washing out sub-base, tree root intrusion, inadequate control joints, reinforcement failure, freeze-thaw cycles (less common in FL), excessive load, and normal concrete shrinkage during cure. Our diagnosis identifies which factor(s) caused your specific cracks so repairs address the root cause.

Is it better to repair or replace my driveway?

Repair when: sub-base is sound, damage is localized, you want to save 50–70% vs replacement, or the existing surface just looks worn. Replace when: multiple major structural failures, complete sub-base failure, drainage cannot be corrected with repairs, or the concrete is 30+ years old and deteriorated throughout. We give an honest recommendation based on inspection.

How long do concrete repairs last?

Properly done repairs last: crack injection 10–20 years, polyurethane slab lifting 20–30+ years, overlay resurfacing 15–25 years, full structural repair with replacement backfill 25+ years. The repair only lasts if the root cause is addressed — that's why we always diagnose before quoting.

Can you repair stamped concrete?

Yes. Color-matched patching can make repairs nearly invisible. Cracked stamped concrete can be injected and re-tooled to match pattern lines. Faded stamped concrete can be restored with color renewal and reseal. Full stamped overlay can go over damaged concrete to create an entirely new look.

What's the difference between mudjacking and PolyLevel?

Traditional mudjacking uses a cement slurry injected under slabs — heavy, cures slowly, and can wash out over time. PolyLevel polyurethane foam is 1/15th the weight, cures in minutes, is hydrophobic (won't wash out), and lasts 2–3x longer. We only use PolyLevel for leveling because it's dramatically better in every performance metric.

Do you offer warranties on repairs?

Yes, all our concrete and asphalt repairs come with a 2-year workmanship warranty. Polyurethane slab lifting has a 10-year settlement guarantee. Overlay systems carry manufacturer warranties of 5–10 years depending on the system. All warranties are documented in writing with your final invoice.
