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>

How much does it cost to replace concrete?

• <div><p>The average cost to replace concrete depends on the amount of material you need. However, you can expect the cost of replacing a concrete driveway to range from <b>$2,000 to $7,000</b>, or about <b>$15 per square foot</b>.</p><p>If you want to install or replace a concrete patio, the cost ranges from <b>$800 to $9,000</b>, depending on the size and exact materials.

Q: Can you fix concrete cracks yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fill cracks in concrete if you&rsquo;re a somewhat handy homeowner. It&rsquo;s important to know which concrete patching method to use, as small cracks require different approaches than large ones. It might seem challenging to determine which product to use and the tools necessary for the project, but with a bit of background, homeowners can restore their cracked concrete easily.</p></div>

Q: What if there is standing liquid on my concrete?

• <div><p>If there is standing liquid on your concrete, remove it before attempting any of the above cleaning methods. For small amounts of water, use rags, a bucket, and a mop. For larger areas of liquid, lay down cat litter or baking soda to soak up the water first. If you have extremely large pools of water sitting on your concrete, break out the wet vac and get to work.</p></div>

Q: What can I do with extra-wet cement?

• <div><p>The easiest way to handle extra-wet cement is to pour it, let it harden, and then recycle it using one of the methods above. You can also crush it down and sell it for base materials, although this can be pretty time-consuming. Your best bet is to start with less concrete than you need and make more as you go to avoid this problem.</p></div>
