Driveway Repair Duluth MN
Cracked or weathered Concrete Driveway?

A driveway is a big investment, so you want it to last as long as possible. But, unfortunately, there are a number of conditions that can shorten the lifespan of a concrete driveway and result in unsightly cracking, discoloration, settlement or scaling.
Fortunately, driveway repair is usually possible if caught early enough. If you see any signs of damage to your driveway, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional as soon as possible. They will be able to assess the damage and recommend the best course of action. In some cases, repairs may be as simple as adding a sealant or resurfacing the driveway. In more serious cases, though, the driveway may need to be completely replaced. Either way, it’s important to take action quickly to prevent further damage from occurring.
Repairing your driveway can be an affordable option when compared to ripping it out and starting over. If you aren’t sure about the structural integrity of yours or have any questions regarding repairs, call our team of professionals in Duluth MN for help!

Should I repair, Resurface, or Replace my Driveway?
As long as the structural integrity of your driveway is intact, we can repair minor and even major damage without tearing out and completely replacing it. Check out the tabs below for descriptions of the types of repairs your concrete driveway may need
Driveway Repair Solution:
Patch or fill small cracks
- Cracks or holes less than ¼” wide generally don’t pose a structural threat and can be filled or patched as a temporary fix.
- Fillers and patches are visibly different than the concrete they are applied to. If there are a lot of areas to fix, this can result in an unappealing blotchy overall look, so that is something to be considered.
- Also, patches aren’t water tight, meaning that eventually, water will seep between the patch and original concrete, reopening the crack or hole.
- Filling a few small cracks or holes can be a relatively easy DIY project done with materials purchased at your local hardware store.
Driveway Repair Solution:
Concrete resurfacing to cover larger cracks or surface problems
- Large cracks or holes greater than ¼”, spalling (horizontal peeling or chipping of the surface), and discoloration can be covered with resurfacing or a concrete overlay (a thin layer of cement-based material applied directly over the existing concrete).
- Resurfacing allows you to add decorative finishes such as stamping or coloring.
- Your driveway will look like new without the added work and expense of removing it and installing a new one.
- A middle ground between patching and replacing, refinishing with an overlay provides a longer lasting and more aesthetic repair than patching.
Driveway Repair Solution:
Use a Slabjack to relevel
- If your driveway slab is sinking in spots, the problem is most likely due to a poorly compacted subgrade or soil erosion.
- We drill holes through your existing slabs and pump grout mixture under them so that it can lift up their height by spreading out beneath each driveway or road surface like paint on an artist’s brush!
