Repairing concrete in Plainville
Half of Plainville's homes were built before 1970. Residential concrete from that era was often poured without air entrainment, which is why so many older walks and steps here are scaling. Plainville's mix of single-family homes (56%) and multi-family buildings means repair work for homeowners and property managers alike.
Most Plainville 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 Plainville was built in 1970, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door New Britain (median 1956) and older than Farmington (1980).

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