Concrete Repair & Restoration

When to Repair Instead of Replace

Not every damaged concrete surface needs complete replacement. Many common concrete problems can be repaired effectively, saving you money while extending the life of your existing concrete. Cracks, surface damage, spalling, and minor settling are often fixable with the right repair techniques. The key is catching problems early before they get worse.

We assess your concrete honestly and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense. If the underlying structure is sound and the damage is mostly cosmetic or localized, repair is usually the smart choice. But if you have extensive cracking, severe settling, or structural failure, replacement might be necessary. Either way, we give you the information you need to make the best decision for your property and budget.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Cathedral City's climate and soil conditions lead to specific types of concrete damage. Here are the problems we repair most often:

• Cracks: From hairline surface cracks to wider structural cracks
• Spalling: Surface flaking or chipping caused by moisture or freeze-thaw
• Settling and sinking: When soil erosion causes concrete to drop or become uneven
• Surface damage: Stains, discoloration, or worn areas from heavy use
• Joint failure: Damaged or missing expansion joints and control joints
• Edge damage: Broken or crumbling concrete edges along driveways and walkways

Each type of damage requires different repair methods. We match our repair technique to your specific problem to ensure lasting results. Small repairs done now prevent bigger problems later. If you are considering new concrete instead, check out our services for driveway installation or patio construction.

Our Repair and Restoration Services

We use proven repair methods that restore both the appearance and function of your concrete. For cracks, we clean out debris and fill with appropriate patching compounds or epoxy that bonds to the existing concrete. Surface damage can be resurfaced with a thin overlay that gives you a fresh, new look. Spalling areas are chipped away and rebuilt with repair mortar that matches your existing concrete.

For settling issues, we can lift and level concrete using modern techniques, or we can remove and repour sections that have sunk too far. Edge repairs involve rebuilding broken areas with forms and fresh concrete. We also offer concrete sealing services that protect your repaired concrete from future damage. The result is concrete that looks better and performs properly again. At SteelStack Cathedral Concrete, we have been helping Cathedral City homeowners restore their concrete since 2024. We take pride in quality repairs that blend seamlessly with existing concrete. Whether you need minor crack repairs or major restoration work, we handle it with the same attention to detail we bring to all our concrete services.
