Concrete Repair & Replacement

Concrete is incredibly durable, but over time it can develop cracks, settle unevenly, or show signs of wear. When this happens, you have two options: repair the damaged areas or replace the entire slab. At BCM Bedford Concrete Masters, we specialize in both concrete repair and full replacement services. We will assess your situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

In many cases, timely repairs can extend the life of your concrete by years and prevent bigger problems down the road. For severely damaged or outdated surfaces, replacement may be the better choice. Either way, we have the skills and experience to restore your concrete to like-new condition. Visit our homepage to learn more about all the services we offer.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Concrete issues can develop for many reasons, including soil movement, poor drainage, freeze-thaw cycles, and normal wear over time. Here are some of the most common problems we see and repair.

• •Cracks: Hairline cracks are common and usually not a big deal. Wider cracks, however, can let water seep underneath and cause further damage. We repair cracks of all sizes to prevent them from spreading.
• •Settling and Sinking: When the soil beneath a slab settles or erodes, the concrete can sink and become uneven. This creates trip hazards and drainage problems. We can often lift and level sunken slabs without full replacement.
• •Spalling and Flaking: Surface damage where the top layer of concrete peels or flakes off. This is often caused by moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, or poor finishing. We can resurface damaged areas to restore the look and protect the slab.
• •Stains and Discoloration: Oil stains, rust, and other blemishes can make concrete look old and worn. We offer cleaning and sealing services to refresh your concrete.
• •Damaged Edges and Corners: The edges of driveways and walkways are vulnerable to chipping and breaking. We can rebuild damaged edges to prevent further deterioration.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Concrete?

The decision to repair or replace depends on the extent of the damage, the age of the concrete, and your budget. Here is how we help you decide.

If the damage is limited to a small area and the rest of the slab is in good condition, repair is usually the best option. We can fill cracks, patch holes, and resurface damaged sections for a fraction of the cost of replacement. Repairs are also faster, often completed in a day or two.

Replacement makes more sense when the concrete is severely damaged, has multiple large cracks, or is settling in several places. If your driveway or patio is old and showing its age, replacement also gives you a chance to upgrade to stamped or decorative concrete. We will inspect your concrete and give you an honest assessment so you can make the best decision for your property.

Concrete Repair and Replacement Services

We offer a full range of repair and replacement services for driveways, patios, sidewalks, and other concrete surfaces. Our team has the tools and expertise to handle jobs of all sizes.

For repairs, we use high-quality patching compounds and sealants that bond to the existing concrete and create a durable, long-lasting fix. We can fill cracks, level sunken areas with mud jacking or foam injection, and resurface damaged sections. We also clean and seal concrete to protect it from future damage.

For replacement projects, we remove the old concrete, prepare the base, and pour a new slab using the same proven process we use for all our concrete work. Whether you need a small section replaced or an entire driveway redone, we handle every detail with care. If you also need driveway installation, we have you covered.
