Frequently Asked Questions
What does asphalt repair consist of?
Asphalt repair refers to the process of repairing, replacing, and repaving asphalt. This includes filling in holes and cracks, repaving and resealing services, as well as settling asphalt.
As you might expect, asphalt repair is an especially important part of road maintenance in Austin and San Antonio, since roads with cracks and holes can be unsafe for drivers and pedestrians alike.
What does concrete repair consist of?
Concrete repair is the process of repairing, replacing, and repaving concrete that—over time—has lost its ability to hold together due to environmental exposure (corrosion) or damage.
You might need concrete repair in Austin or San Antonio to fix cracks in a concrete driveway or sidewalk, chipped-out surfaces or surface scaling, or, even, damage caused by physical impacts, such as a car accident.
How does concrete driveway repair in Austin TX and San Antonio work?
For Lone Star paving, driveway repair in San Antonio and Austin is an art. If your driveway is made of concrete, we’ll start by cleaning your driveway—both with a blower and a pressure washer—to remove any debris that may be on top of it. From there, will fill in the cracks using a concrete filler, apply a resurfacer over the entire driveway, and use a rubber squeegee to even it out. Finally, we’ll often finish the job by seal-coating the driveway to make it as durable and long-lasting as possible.
Can you resurface concrete?
Yes! In most cases, it is possible to resurface existing concrete rather than start from scratch, which is often a less expensive option. At Lone Star, we’ll resurface your concrete depending on its condition—either by sanding it down and sealing it, or by using a more intensive resurfacing method, such as stenciling or stamping.
Can you resurface a concrete driveway or backyard patio?
Certainly! Whether it’s concrete mixed with an aggregate material, slate-style concrete, or crushed concrete, we can help resurface your driveway or patio so that it looks as good as new.
How long does concrete resurfacing last in Austin TX?
Assuming the underlying concrete is in good condition, with no major damage, professionally installed concrete resurfacing can last for several years with proper care. We’ve even heard that some of our projects have lasted for up to twenty years.
“DIY surfacing kits,” however—the kind you can typically find at your local hardware store—generally don’t last nearly as long.
Do you repair cracks in concrete?
Yes. We can repair cracks, chips, fractures, fissures, and splits no matter how large or how deep, however, we may recommend either concrete resurfacing or repaving if the underlying concrete is in poor condition.
What can I do if my foundation is crumbling?
Generally speaking, if your foundation is crumbling, it’s usually a sign that your existing concrete was either a poor-quality mix or was applied incorrectly, however it may be the result of water damage or other chemicals that have clung to your concrete. We can inspect your foundation, determine why it’s crumbling, and recommend the best course of action to repair.
Keep in mind: if your concrete foundation is crumbling, it’s vital that you address it quickly. Foundation damage only gets worse the longer it’s ignored and can lead to expensive secondary damage if you wait to repair it. Contact us today to get your free quote for concrete repair in Austin Texas!
