JC Concrete

Concrete Repair & Resurfacing Services

Concrete structures deteriorate over time from weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, chemical exposure, and heavy loads. JC Concrete provides comprehensive repair and resurfacing services in Salinas and Monterey County to restore function and appearance without full replacement in many cases. From hairline crack sealing to full overlay resurfacing, our techniques extend slab life and improve safety.

Why timely repairs matter

Delayed repairs allow minor issues to become major failures. Ignoring cracks, spalling, and uneven slabs can lead to trip hazards, property damage, and greater expense. Timely repair:

  • Restores surface integrity and safety.
  • Prevents water infiltration and subgrade erosion.
  • Extends the service life of slabs and reduces long-term costs.
  • Improves curb appeal and property value.


Common repair scenarios we address

  • Crack repair and control joint restoration.
  • Spall and pothole patching.
  • Concrete grinding for trip hazards and leveling transitions.
  • Overlay resurfacing for surface wear or aesthetic refresh.
  • Structural slab stabilization and underpinning for settlement issues.

Key benefits of our repair approach

Accurate diagnosis

We assess whether repair or replacement best fits the situation based on structural condition, subgrade stability, and long-term cost.

Durable materials

Epoxies, polymer-modified mortars, and overlays provide reliable adhesion and strength.

Efficient techniques

Minimal downtime methods where possible to reduce disruption to homeowners and businesses.

Aesthetic restoration

Color-matching, texture replication, and seamless overlays keep surfaces visually consistent.

How we perform concrete repairs and resurfacing

01

Assessment and plan

We inspect the slab, measure crack patterns, check joint condition, and evaluate subgrade drainage to determine the root cause.

02

Preparation and cleaning

Proper surface preparation is essential: removing loose material, cleaning oils and contaminants, and profiling surfaces for adhesion.

03

Repair or stabilization

Depending on needs, we use routing and sealing for control joints, epoxy injection for structural cracks, patching for spalls, and targeted underpinning for settled slabs.

04

Resurfacing or overlay (if selected)

Resurfacing options include polymer-modified overlays, microtoppings, or stamped/colored overlays to refresh appearance and extend life.

05

Finishing and sealer application

We finish surfaces to match surrounding areas and apply sealers to protect overlays and patches from moisture and wear.

Repair FAQs

  • Can small cracks be repaired without replacement?

    Yes. Hairline and non-structural cracks can often be routed, cleaned, and sealed to prevent water intrusion and stop progression. Structural cracks require evaluation and may need injection or localized replacement.

  • What causes spalling and potholes?

    Spalling often results from freeze-thaw action, deicing chemicals, or alkali-silica reaction. Potholes can form where underlying support is lost or where repeated loading causes fatigue.

  • How long does resurfacing last?

    A well-installed overlay can last 10–20 years depending on traffic and maintenance. Proper base condition and drainage are key to longevity.

  • Is resurfacing more cost-effective than replacement?

    Often yes, but cost-effectiveness depends on the extent of structural damage. We evaluate whether resurfacing makes sense or if replacement is the more durable long-term solution.
