Should I patch, resurface, or replace my concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete blemishes such as chipped steps or small cracks are fixable with patching. For bigger jobs, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">driveway repair</a> and cracks wider than a 1/4 of an inch, patches will only serve as a temporary fix. Resurfacing is ideal when the surface is showing more widespread wear—like if it’s pitted, rough, or has lots of cracks. Resurfacing gives your concrete a fresh, like-new appearance without needing a full replacement.</p><p>When the concrete is severely cracked, sinking, or otherwise structurally unsound, replacing it might be your best option. Replacement ensures the safety and longevity of the surface in this case. </p></div>

Q: What chemicals are used to bond old concrete to new concrete?

• <div><p>You'll find a slurry of natural and synthetic polymers, rubbers, epoxies, and resins used to bond old concrete to new concrete. The right bonding agent depends on the method of concrete pouring you choose and whether you're adhering concrete over concrete or concrete over sand and gravel. Some concrete resurfacing mixtures contain bonding chemicals as well. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth repairing concrete cracks?

• <div><p>Yes, it is worth repairing concrete cracks. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">Concrete cracks are normal</a>, and they can be hard to keep from appearing. However, it is worth repairing cracks in concrete for many reasons. For example, it&rsquo;s possible to repair concrete to the point where the repair is almost invisible. Also, if the crack is left alone, it can become bigger and more expensive to fix over time.</p></div>

Q: How long does commercial concrete resurfacing take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-3 days, though curing times may require additional downtime.</p></div>

Q: Does a concrete driveway need rebar?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no legal requirement that states that you need rebar in a concrete driveway, but since the slab will be supporting heavy vehicle loads, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to pay a bit more for rebar reinforcement. Your driveway will be much more likely to crack if you don&rsquo;t reinforce it with rebar. Driveways that need to support commercial vehicles or provide parking for multiple vehicles at once should always include rebar reinforcement. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-concrete-over-asphalt.htm">pouring concrete over asphalt</a> or pouring concrete over an existing slab, you may not have enough depth for rebar, meaning an increased risk of cracking. </p></div>

"This company came in and replaced a botched job done by an unscrupulous concrete contractor. Curb Sol did the demolition of that job and replaced it with exactly what I requested. Clean job and very professional. In Maine it's hard to find trustworthy, fair contractors. Highly recommend these guys. Thanks in particular to David Shorey the point man for Curb Sol.
