Repairing concrete in New Britain
57% of New Britain's homes predate 1960, and the concrete around them shows it: walks scaled by decades of salt, broken step nosings and driveways patched on top of patches. Two- and three-family houses make up a big share of New Britain (only 31% of homes are single-family detached), and their steps and walks take heavy wear. Fixing the worst spots first is often the sensible budget.
Much of New Britain's concrete meets the public way, from front steps to walks and aprons, so trip hazards there are a liability as well as an eyesore.
The median home in New Britain was built in 1956, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby Newington, where the median is 1967.

Permits for repairs in New Britain. Most surface repairs, like crack sealing, patching and resurfacing, don't need a permit. Work in the city's right-of-way, such as a public sidewalk or apron, usually does, and structural foundation repairs need a building permit and often an engineer.

Concrete repair in New Britain: questions
Is it worth repairing old concrete in New Britain, or should I replace it?
If the slab hasn't moved and the damage is at the surface, repair or resurfacing usually makes sense. If it has settled, heaved or cracked through, replacement or lifting is the better spend. We'll show you which at the estimate.
Do you repair concrete steps in New Britain?
Yes. We rebuild broken nosings and corners and resurface scaled treads when the steps are solid. If they've pulled away from the house, we'll quote replacement instead.
Can you work with a landlord who isn't on site?
Yes. Send photos and the address; we'll inspect, quote in writing and coordinate access with your tenants.
