Commercial Concrete Repair
Replace what failed, not the whole lot: panels saw-cut on clean lines, the base fixed underneath, and pours phased so the property keeps working.
From the subgrade up
Every pour follows the same discipline: the steps a low bid skips.
Walk & failure map
We walk the property and mark what actually failed, so the scope covers the bad panels instead of the whole slab.
Saw-cut isolation
Every repair starts with a clean cut on the joint line, so the new panel keys against a square edge instead of a feathered one.
Fix the base
Most panels failed because what was under them failed first. We rebuild the base before new concrete goes over it.
Dowels & joints
New panels are doweled into the concrete that stays, and joint filler and expansion material get replaced rather than paved over.
Phased pours & reopen
Sections come back one at a time on a written sequence, so parking, lanes, and doors stay usable through the repair.
A failing 2,300 square foot section replaced, joints and all
A commercial property had roughly 2,300 square feet of failing 4-inch concrete. It came out, the base was compacted and reset to slope 2 percent away from the building, and the pour-back went in with #3 rebar doweled into the slab that stayed. New backer rod, new joint filler, and 650 linear feet of new expansion joints went with it, so the repair moves on its own lines instead of cracking beside the patch.

Concrete Repair questions, answered
Repair or replace a damaged panel?
If a panel is cracked in a place or two and the base under it is sound, a partial-depth repair holds. Once it is broken into several pieces, rocking under load, or sitting on a failed base, replacing it is the cheaper answer across the next five years. We tell you which one you are looking at on the walk, and price both when it is close.
Why do concrete panels fail?
More often from below than from above: a base that was never compacted, water tracking under the slab, or roots lifting it. Running loaded trailers over concrete poured for cars does it too. We look for the cause before quoting the patch, because a panel replaced over the same bad base fails the same way.
How long is a lane or bay closed during repair?
Figure about a week for a single section: a day to saw-cut and demo, a day to pour, then the cure before traffic comes back on it. We sequence so only part of your lot or dock is down at a time, and you get the dates before we mobilize.
Can you phase repairs around our operations?
Yes, and it is the normal way we run commercial repair. We map the sequence with your operations lead, take sections in an order that keeps entrances, lanes, and dock doors usable, and pour nights or weekends where the site needs it.
Grinding vs replacement for trip hazards?
Grinding is right for a small vertical offset on an otherwise sound panel: fast, cheap, and the hazard is gone the same day. Once the offset is large, the panel is cracked through, or the slab rocks underfoot, grinding only resets the clock. Replacement is the fix that stays fixed.
Do you match the existing concrete?
New concrete never matches aged concrete exactly, and anyone promising otherwise is guessing. Cure, age, and the local mix all move the color. We match the mix, the finish, and the joint pattern so the repair reads as part of the slab, and weathering closes most of the rest.
What does commercial concrete repair cost?
It turns on panel count, thickness, how much saw cutting and haul off is involved, and whether the base has to be rebuilt. A few trip hazards and a property-wide panel program are different orders of magnitude. We price it after a walk, with the panel count in writing.
What documentation do we get?
A COI naming your entity, workers' comp documentation for every crew on your site, and lien waivers before we break ground. On repair programs you also get the marked panel map and the pour sequence, so your facilities file shows what was replaced and when.
