Concrete Restoration Experts
Concrete is incredibly durable, but years of weather, use, and the inevitable settling can take their toll. Cracks appear, surfaces spall, and once-beautiful concrete starts looking tired and worn. The good news? Many concrete problems can be repaired rather than replaced.
At Elkin Concrete Pros, we specialize in concrete repair and restoration. We honestly assess your concrete's condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution - whether that's a simple repair, resurfacing, or when necessary, replacement. We never push unnecessary work.

Repair vs. Replace: Our Honest Assessment
We'll never recommend replacement when repair will do the job. Here's our general guideline:
Consider Repair When:
- Less than 25% of surface is damaged
- Cracks are surface-level (non-structural)
- Base concrete is still solid
- Settling is less than 2 inches
- Damage is primarily cosmetic
Consider Replacement When:
- More than 25-30% is damaged
- Multiple structural cracks present
- Base has failed (pumping, voids)
- Significant heaving or settling
- Concrete is very old and deteriorated
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, most concrete cracks can be repaired. Hairline cracks can be filled with sealant, wider cracks may need routing and filling. We assess each situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Repair costs depend on the type and extent of damage, repair method needed, surface condition, and accessibility. Contact us for a free assessment and personalized estimate.
Repair is best for surface cracks, minor spalling, and small damaged areas. Replacement is needed when more than 25% is damaged, there's significant settling, or the base has failed. We provide honest recommendations.
Quality repairs last 5-10+ years depending on repair type and conditions. Crack sealing may need touch-ups every few years. Resurfacing typically lasts 8-15 years. Partial replacement lasts as long as original concrete.
