Repairing concrete in Windsor
Half of Windsor's homes were built before 1969. Residential concrete from that era was often poured without air entrainment, which is why so many older walks and steps here are scaling. Most Windsor homes are single-family (77%), and repair calls here are usually one owner's walk, steps or driveway, which makes repair-versus-replace a straightforward budget question.
On the clay soils of the old Lake Hitchcock bed, many repair calls are really settlement: slabs that sank or heaved. Those need lifting or rebuilding, not patching.
The median home in Windsor was built in 1969, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Windsor Locks (median 1960) and older than South Windsor (1980).

Permits for repairs in Windsor. Most surface repairs, like crack sealing, patching and resurfacing, don't need a permit. Work in the town'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 Windsor: questions
Is it worth repairing old concrete in Windsor, 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 Windsor?
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.
Our walk keeps cracking in the same spot. Why?
Often the soil underneath is moving, common on clay. If the slab is sinking or heaving, lifting or rebuilding the base fixes it; a patch won't.
Do you repair concrete near Windsor?
Yes. We also repair concrete in Bloomfield, Windsor Locks and South Windsor, and across Hartford County.
