Concrete Repair & Replacement

Restore Your Damaged Concrete Surfaces

Cracked, uneven, or deteriorating concrete isn't just an eyesore. It's a safety hazard and can reduce your property value. Whether you're dealing with a crumbling driveway, a sunken walkway, or a patio with major cracks, we can help you decide whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.

At TopHands Holly Springs Concrete, we evaluate concrete damage honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes a simple repair solves the problem. Other times, full replacement is the smarter long-term investment. Either way, we'll explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.

From minor crack repairs to complete driveway replacement, we handle projects of all sizes. When you need reliable concrete repair services, you can count on us for quality work and fair pricing.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

We see these concrete issues regularly in Holly Springs homes and businesses:

• •Cracks: From hairline surface cracks to wide structural cracks that continue to spread.
• •Settling and Sinking: Concrete slabs that have dropped or tilted due to soil movement or erosion underneath.
• •Spalling and Flaking: Surface deterioration where the top layer of concrete is peeling or flaking off.
• •Trip Hazards: Uneven surfaces where one section is higher than an adjacent section, creating a safety risk.
• •Water Damage: Erosion, pitting, and deterioration caused by poor drainage or freeze-thaw cycles.
• •Worn Surfaces: Concrete that's become rough, pitted, or stained beyond acceptable appearance.

If you're seeing any of these issues, it's time to have your concrete evaluated by professionals. Small problems often get worse over time, so addressing them early typically saves money.

When to Repair vs. Replace Concrete

Deciding whether to repair or replace damaged concrete depends on several factors. Here's how we think about it:

Good Candidates for Repair

Repair makes sense when the overall structure is sound and only isolated areas are damaged. Minor surface cracks, small spalled areas, and single sections of damage can often be repaired effectively at a fraction of replacement cost. If the concrete is less than 15 years old and the damage is limited, repair is usually the best choice.

When Replacement Is Smarter

Full replacement makes more sense when damage is widespread, the concrete is old and showing multiple problems, or structural issues like severe settling are present. If more than 30% of the surface is damaged, replacement often costs about the same as extensive repairs and gives you a completely fresh surface with decades of life ahead. For major projects like a failing concrete driveway, replacement typically offers better long-term value.

Our Honest Assessment

We'll inspect your concrete thoroughly and give you an honest recommendation. If repairs will only buy you a few more years, we'll tell you that replacement is the smarter investment. If repairs can extend the life of your concrete significantly, we'll recommend that route and save you money.

Concrete Repair Techniques We Use

We use proven repair methods matched to the specific type and extent of damage:

For crack repair, we clean and prep the crack, then fill it with specialized flexible sealants or epoxy injections depending on the crack width and depth. This prevents water infiltration and stops the crack from expanding.

Slabjacking or mudjacking lifts sunken concrete back to the proper level by pumping material underneath to fill voids and raise the slab. This technique is much less expensive than replacement and works well for driveways, walkways, and patios that have settled.

Surface resurfacing applies a new layer of concrete or polymer overlay to repair spalling, pitting, and worn surfaces. This gives you a fresh, smooth surface without the expense of complete replacement.

For section replacement, we cut out and remove damaged portions, then pour new concrete that's properly tied into the existing surface. This works well when damage is limited to specific areas. Learn more about our sidewalk and walkway services for smaller flatwork repairs.
