Repairing concrete in New Canaan
Half of New Canaan's homes were built before 1967. Residential concrete from that era was often poured without air entrainment, which is why so many older walks and steps here are scaling. New Canaan's mix of single-family homes (73%) and multi-family buildings means repair work for homeowners and property managers alike.
Most New Canaan repair calls are surface damage from salt and age: scaled walks, cracked aprons and broken step edges, all fixable if the slab underneath is still sound.
The median home in New Canaan was built in 1967, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Darien (median 1957) and older than Stamford (1972).

Concrete repair in New Canaan: questions
Is it worth repairing old concrete in New Canaan, 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 Canaan?
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.
