Cracked, settled or heaved concrete is more than an eyesore — it's a trip hazard and a sign of a base problem underneath. We tear out and replace failing concrete across Chicago and the suburbs, fixing the cause instead of papering over it.
Concrete Repair & Replacement for Evanston homes and businesses. Not every slab needs full replacement — but a lot of the cracked, settled, or spalling concrete we see is past the point where a patch makes sense. We assess honestly: where a repair will hold, we repair it; where the base has failed and the slab is heaving, we tear out and replace on a base built to last.
Evanston's established North Shore neighborhoods have older homes with original driveways, walks, and foundations that are now well past their service life. The lakefront proximity and mature tree canopy add drainage and root pressure on top of the standard freeze-thaw stress. We replace and repair with proper base prep so the new work outlasts the old by decades. We show up on schedule, build on a properly compacted base, handle the permits, and haul off every bit of debris before we leave.
When a driveway, walkway, slab or set of steps has cracked, sunk or heaved past patching, replacement is the honest fix. We break out and haul away the old concrete, correct the base and drainage issues that caused the failure, and pour new concrete that's reinforced and finished to last.
We repair and replace residential driveways, steps and walks as well as commercial slabs, floors and flatwork. For commercial clients we work around your operation to minimize downtime, with the same finish and durability standards on every job.
Concrete rarely fails on its own — it's usually drainage, a weak base, or freeze-thaw. We diagnose why your concrete failed and fix that too, so the replacement doesn't go the same way in a few years.
