Concrete Repair & Replacement in Mettawa, IL

Concrete repair for Mettawa properties

Mettawa has very large lots, horse properties and estate homes, and that shapes how we approach concrete repair here. Locally the thing we run into most is large 1980s-to-2000s subdivisions where the original builder driveways are all coming due at once.

We handle concrete repair and replacement on driveways, walks, patios, steps and garage floors across Lake County and Kenosha County.

Settled slabs: lift or replace

Where a slab has dropped but the concrete is sound, lifting raises it back to grade for a fraction of replacement cost. It works best on a slab that settled as one piece.

Section replacement

On a long driveway or walk, one failed panel can be saw cut out at the joints and replaced without touching the rest. The new panel is a different shade for a year or two and then largely blends.

How the job runs in Mettawa

4. ExecuteSaw cut clean, lift, or tear out and rebuild the base as the case requires.
5. Match and finishNew work finished to match the existing texture as closely as concrete allows.
