Concrete repair contractor in Memphis, TN: find the cause, then fix it

Cracks, sunken sections and surface damage are signs that something is going on under or around your concrete. Sometimes a repair is enough. Sometimes the honest answer is that the slab needs to be replaced. Either way, fixing the cause matters more than covering the symptom.

Baltz & Sons Concrete is a family-owned Memphis concrete contractor. We inspect damaged concrete on driveways, patios, sidewalks and flatwork, explain what is wrong and give you a clear written price for the right fix.

What affects concrete repair cost

Repair costs depend on what is wrong and what it will take to fix it.
  • Cause of the problem. Fixing drainage or base problems adds work but prevents repeat failures.
  • Extent of damage. A single section costs less than widespread cracking or settling.
  • Repair versus replacement. Sometimes replacing a section or slab is the better long-term value.
  • Finish and matching. Matching color and texture to existing concrete affects the work.
  • Access. How easily crews and equipment reach the work affects the job.

Reviews

★★★★★

“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

The full concrete repair guide

Small hairline cracks are common as concrete cures and shrinks. They are usually cosmetic. Wide, uneven or growing cracks, or cracks with one side higher than the other, point to movement or base problems and deserve a closer look.

Slabs sink when the soil under them washes out, settles or was never compacted well. Drainage is a frequent cause, because water carries soil away. We check where the water is going before recommending a fix.

Small cracks and minor surface damage can often be repaired. Widespread cracking, major settlement or a failed base usually means replacement, because repairs will not last. We give you a straight answer and the reasons for it.

Flaking and scaling happen when the surface is stressed by moisture, chemicals or poor finishing. Depending on severity, it may be resurfaced or replaced. We look at how widespread it is.

Fixing drainage and the base is what keeps a repair from failing again. That can mean regrading, redirecting downspouts or rebuilding the base as part of the repair.

New concrete rarely matches old exactly in color. We talk through what to expect and use finishes that blend as well as possible.
