Concrete Repair and Overlays

Whether you have sinking steps, cracked sidewalks, or spalling driveways, remember that you can repair instead of opting for full replacement. At Personal Touch Service Solutions, we specialize in practical, long-lasting concrete repairs that bring new life to worn or damaged surfaces. Using modern cementitious products and surface bonding technologies, we offer affordable solutions that extend the life of your concrete without the mess and expense of demolition.

The elements can be really tough on concrete, especially rapid freeze/thaw cycles that cause concrete to break up and spall. Ice melting compounds also leach salt into surfaces, causing structural stresses deep within the substrate. We can repair cracked and spalling concrete by applying decorative and functional overlays that not only repair damage but protect the surface from future issues. Our team evaluates every situation with honesty and experience, helping you choose the right repair for your budget and goals. Let Personal Touch provide a no-cost estimate today.

FAQs

  • Can concrete cracks be repaired, or do I need a full replacement?

    In most cases, concrete cracks, spalls, and surface damage can be repaired without the expense and mess of full replacement. We use modern patching materials and resurfacing techniques that restore durability and improve appearance—saving you thousands and extending the life of your concrete. Early intervention prevents more extensive damage from taking place.

  • How do you repair damaged concrete steps?

    We start by assessing the extent of the damage to determine whether a patch or full replacement is needed. For minor chips, cracks, or surface wear, we remove any loose material, thoroughly clean the area, and use a high-strength repair mortar designed to bond securely to existing concrete.  In cases of structural damage, we may recommend rebuilding one or more steps to ensure safety and longevity.

  • Can you give my old patio a facelift without tearing it out?

    Yes — a concrete overlay is an excellent way to refresh and transform your patio without full demolition. We prepare the existing surface by cleaning, repairing any cracks, and ensuring proper bonding. Then we apply a thin, durable layer of specially formulated concrete overlay. The overlay can be done in the color of your choice and sealed for protection against the elements.  

  • What’s the best way to make a pool deck less slippery?

    Applying a non-slip concrete sealer with a non slip additive is a simple and effective solution to slippery surfaces. We use sealers for pool decks that contain fine texture additives for traction without being rough on bare feet. First, we clean and prepare the surface, repairing any damage. Then we apply the sealer evenly, creating a water-resistant, slip-resistant finish that also helps protect the concrete from chlorine, sun exposure, and weather damage. The result is a safer, more durable surface that still looks attractive.  And the sealer can be pigmented in any color if you would like to update the appearance as well.

  • How can you repair cracks in my garage floor and make it safer?

    We begin by cleaning the floor and removing any loose material from the cracks. Next, we fill the cracks with a high-quality repair compound that bonds tightly to the concrete and resists future movement. Once the repairs are set, we can apply a durable, slip-resistant sealer or pigmented scoating. These finishes not only give your garage a fresh, clean appearance, but they also improve traction to reduce the risk of slips — especially when the floor is wet. A good sealer will also protect the surface from vehicle fluids, road salts, and everyday wear.
