Frequently Asked Questions
Do all cracks have to be replaced?+
Hairline cracks (under ¼") are not citable. Anything wider or with displacement requires full flag replacement.
Can you match existing concrete color?+
Yes — we match score lines, broom direction, and color where possible. New concrete will look brighter for 6–12 months until it cures down.
How thick does the new concrete need to be?+
NYC DOT requires 4" minimum for sidewalks, 6" for driveway aprons. We pour to spec every time.
