Concrete Driveway Repair & Resurfacing in San Antonio

Repairs worth doing

• Crack sealing. Hairline and small cracks filled with a flexible concrete-grade sealant to keep water and roots out.
• Slab jacking / mudjacking / polyjacking. Lifting sunken sections by pumping material underneath. Common where a section by the garage or apron has settled.
• Spall and edge repair. Rebuilding crumbling edges or shallow surface pits.
• Resurfacing. A thin, bonded overlay of polymer-modified concrete poured over the existing slab to give you a fresh finish.
• Sealing. A penetrating sealer to slow water intrusion and freeze-thaw damage.

When repair is not enough

Resurfacing is cosmetic-plus-structural, not magic. If the slab is broken into pieces, if sections have moved independently of each other, or if cracks are actively growing every year, you're better off with a full driveway replacement. A good contractor will tell you when repair is throwing good money after bad.

What to expect on site

Most driveway repair jobs are a one-day or two-day scope. Slab jacking is often finished the same day and you can usually drive on it within hours. A full resurface takes longer because the overlay needs cure time before traffic.

What affects the price

• How many linear feet of cracks need sealing
• How many square feet need to be lifted, and how far they've dropped
• Whether you're resurfacing the whole driveway or just a section
• Whether you want a decorative overlay finish vs. plain
