Yes. Repairing cracks, spalling, or erosion requires additional labor and specialized materials. Proper concrete repair is essential for a coating to bond correctly and last long-term.
What’s Included in Concrete Repair
1. Crack Repair
We:
- Grind open the cracks
- Clean out debris
- Use a Resinwerks mender resin mixed with sand
- Allow it to cure to 4,500+ PSI
- Regrind level with the slab
2. Spalling / Erosion Repair
We:
- Grind the area aggressively
- Wire-brush loose concrete
- Skimcoat with industrial mender
- Regrind flush to blend seamlessly
Spalling may result from:
- Freeze–thaw cycles
- Magnesium chloride
- Salts
- Poor original concrete mix
Why Repair Costs Are Variable
Cracks differ in:
- Length
- Width
- Depth
- Movement potential
Spalling varies in:
- Severity
- Square footage affected
Every repair scenario is unique.
Bottom Line
Yes, repairs cost extra, but they ensure long-term performance of your coating. We price repairs based on actual condition, not flat-rate guesswork.
