Repairing concrete in West Hartford
64% of West Hartford'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. West Hartford's mix of single-family homes (63%) and multi-family buildings means repair work for homeowners and property managers alike.
Much of West Hartford'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 West Hartford was built in 1955, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby Farmington, where the median is 1980.

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