Not all bad concrete needs a full tear out. Some slabs can stay in place with solid repair work. Others need concrete resurfacing on top of a sound base. At Ready Reading Concrete, we handle concrete repair, crack repair and resurfacing for steps, porches, walks, patios and small slabs around Reading, PA.
We look at the base, the cracks and the movement first. Then we explain if repair makes sense or if replacement is the better use of your money.
Concrete Crack Repair and Joint Sealing
Concrete moves as it cures and with changes in heat and moisture. Some cracks are normal. Other cracks show base or load problems. We clean and open cracks that need repair, remove weak material and use patch or repair products that bond to the concrete.
Joints also need care. Open joints let water reach the base and wash out support. We can seal joints that see water and traffic so they keep doing their job. Good crack repair and joint repair help slow down damage and protect the slab that you want to keep.
Concrete Step Repair and Porch Repair
Concrete step repair and concrete porch repair focus on the parts that fail first. Noses break, corners chip off and top surfaces flake or spall. We cut out loose areas, clean the base and build new faces that tie into solid concrete.
Common step and porch repair spots include:
Broken step noses and treads
Chipped porch edges and corners
Low spots at doors that hold water
If the steps or porch move, lean or pull from the house, patch work will not fix the cause. In that case we talk about replacement instead of repair.
When Concrete Resurfacing Makes Sense
Concrete resurfacing can help when the top of a slab looks rough but the base still supports weight. We clean the surface, remove weak spots and apply a bonded layer across the slab. This can cover light spalling and small pits and give a fresh finish.
Resurfacing does not fix deep cracks, hollow spots or slabs that move. If the base is weak or the concrete breaks into separate pieces, a thin layer on top will not hold. We check for hollow sound, movement and wide cracks before we suggest concrete resurfacing. If the slab fails these checks, we explain why replacement is the better path.
Small Patches and Trip Hazard Fixes
Some problems sit in small areas. A corner breaks at a sidewalk, a step edge chips, or one panel rises at a joint and creates a trip hazard. In those cases we may cut and patch a small section, grind a high edge or fill a low spot. The goal is a safer surface with simple work that matches the scale of the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will repair or resurfacing match the color of the old concrete?
New material never matches old concrete exactly. Over time, sun and weather blend the look a bit, but you will still see a difference. We focus on sound structure and safe surfaces first, appearance second.
When is it better to replace concrete instead of repair it?
When a slab has deep cracks, settled sections, hollow sound or wide heaving, money on repair does not go far. At that point, removal and a new slab with a solid base give a better long term fix. We point this out when we see it.
