Concrete Repair & Replacement


Norco Concrete Contractors’ Honest Take on “Ruined” Slabs

Don’t Replace Your Concrete Slab Until You Read This

At Norco Concrete Contractors, we often meet Norco homeowners worried their cracked driveway or weathered patio is a lost cause. The truth? Most slabs—despite surface cracks or stains—are still structurally strong. With the right repair process, your concrete can look and perform like new, saving you thousands.

Don’t Judge a Slab by Its Cracks

Many Norco driveways, patios, and sidewalks show cracks, pitting, or rough patches. While these problems look serious, about 80% of the time, the underlying concrete is still solid. With proper crack repair, a professional overlay, and high-quality sealant, those surface “scars” disappear—and your slab lasts for years. Only about 20% of slabs need full replacement: usually those that are sinking, crumbling at the edges, or built on unstable soil.

How Norco Concrete Contractors Decide: Repair or Replace?

Repair Your Concrete When:

  • Cracks are smaller than a dime and mostly on the surface

  • The slab remains level within half an inch

  • Damage is cosmetic, not structural

Replace Your Concrete When:

  • Cracks are wide enough to fit a smartphone

  • Sections feel springy, unstable, or have settled dramatically

  • The original base is failing, or drainage issues undermine the slab

A quick, on-site inspection—measuring crack widths, checking for hollow spots, and assessing water flow—reveals the best solution for your Norco property.

Our Proven Repair Process

1. Site Walkthrough:
Our expert crew surveys your slab, listens to your concerns, and documents every visible issue.

2. Root-Cause Diagnosis:
We identify what caused the damage—whether it’s tree roots, poor drainage, or irrigation leaks—ensuring durable repairs.

3. Professional Crack Treatment:
Cracks are cleaned, routed, and filled with flexible epoxy or polyurethane that bonds and moves with your concrete.

4. Feather-Edge Overlays:
Worn or pitted areas receive a color-matched micro-topping, blending seamlessly with your existing surface.

5. Premium Sealcoating:
A final coat protects against UV, moisture, and oils—keeping your concrete looking great for years.

Cost-Effective Concrete Resurfacing in Norco

If your slab is sound but looks worn, thin overlays offer a dramatic, affordable upgrade—no demolition needed:

  • Stamped Overlays: Mimic brick, stone, or wood.

  • Color Stains: Add depth and style beyond basic gray.

  • Exposed Aggregate: Highlight decorative pebbles for extra grip and visual appeal.

Most projects are completed in 1–2 days with minimal disruption to your home.

Simple Maintenance for Long-Lasting Concrete

A little care goes a long way to protect your investment:

  • Reseal every 2–3 years to block UV, water, and chemicals.

  • Clean oil, fertilizer, and pool-chemical spills quickly.

  • Sweep away leaves and debris to avoid moisture traps.

  • Address small cracks immediately—Norco’s weather can make them worse fast.

As a Norco-based team, we understand local soil conditions, microclimates, and what styles suit our community. Our repairs blend perfectly with your existing concrete—often invisible to the untrained eye. We respect your property and neighborhood, maintaining a tidy site and working around your schedule.
