How much do concrete repairs cost?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracks-concrete-driveway-repair-vs-replace.htm">Concrete repair costs</a> range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.</div>

Should concrete contractors be certified or licensed?

<div>Yes, concrete contractors should be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed concrete contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. States have different requirements for concrete contractor licensing, so be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local guidelines.As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:<ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

How much do concrete contractors usually charge?

<div>Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-concrete-demo-cost-square-foot.htm">Removal of existing concrete</a>, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.</div>

We are soooo happy we used this company. Our new porch/patio in front of house looks great as does the landing at the side door. They started on time, finished on time and clean up was impeccable.

I recently had my concrete steps repaired by the PVI team and I’m extremely satisfied with the results! The original steps were uneven and poorly aligned, creating a safety concern. The steps are now aligned, stable, and look much better. I highly recommend PVI for any concrete repair work
