Quick answer
What does commercial concrete replacement involve?
Commercial concrete replacement means removing failed concrete and pouring new on a rebuilt base: saw cutting and breaking out the old slab, disposal, excavating and recompacting the base, forming, reinforcement, the pour and the finish. It's the right fix when the base has failed; where only part of a slab has, that part is replaced and the rest repaired. Toronto Concrete Repairs replaces commercial concrete in stages, nights and weekends where needed, with an itemised proposal after a free site walk and a three year written warranty on new concrete.
What we replace
Commercial concrete we remove and repour
Failed concrete on a commercial property is a liability as well as a repair. These are the jobs we replace most across the GTA.
Sidewalks and walkways
Plaza sidewalks, storefront walkways and building approaches that have heaved, sunk or broken into trip hazards. Replaced section by section with the joints where they belong.
Curbs, islands and ramps
Broken curbs, parking lot islands and accessible ramps rebuilt to the slopes and dimensions on your site plan.
Loading dock aprons and truck pads
Aprons worn through by trailers and landing gear, removed and repoured thicker and reinforced for the load. Loading dock repair →
Warehouse and interior slabs
Settled or broken bays cut out and replaced on a recompacted base, phased so racking and aisles keep working. Warehouse floors →
Parking garage ramps and slabs
Failed ramp and slab on grade sections replaced in stages, with traffic routed around the work zone.
Entrances, landings and pads
Building entrances, landings and steps, plus equipment, generator, transformer and dumpster pads poured to the load they carry.

Old concrete out, base rebuilt, new slab formed, reinforced and poured. This is what a proper replacement involves, and why it lasts where patching doesn't.

The honest call
Does it need replacing, or can it be repaired?
Replacement is the right answer when the base has failed. When it hasn't, repair or grinding costs a fraction, and we'll tell you.
Replace it when
- Sections have sunk or heaved, with a step at the cracks
- The slab is broken into pieces or crumbling
- Water pools or drains toward the building
- Repairs keep failing in the same place
- The use is changing: heavier trucks, new racking, new layout
Replaced in stages, so the site stays open.
Repair it when
- Cracks are flat across, with no step
- Spalling or wear on a slab that is still level
- One small raised edge: ground flush in an hour
- Joints have failed but the slab between them is sound: joint repair
- Broken edges and corners on otherwise good concrete
A fraction of replacement. See commercial concrete repair.
Staged replacement
How we keep your site open while we replace
Tenants, customers and trucks still need to get in. Every replacement is planned around that before the first saw cut.
Phasing plan
The area split into sections so at least one entrance, lane or dock door stays usable at every stage. The plan is in the proposal.
Nights and weekends
Noisy removal and pours scheduled outside business hours where the site needs it.
Safe routing
Barricades, signage and temporary walk routes around each work zone, so nobody walks through it.
Tenant notices
Dated notices you can post or send, so tenants and residents know what's closed and when.
Fast reopening
Mixes and curing chosen for when the area has to take traffic again, with the reopening date for each section agreed up front.
Clean site daily
Rubble removed as we go, not stockpiled in the parking lot, and the site swept at the end of every shift.
The process
Our commercial concrete replacement process
Most failed concrete failed because of what was underneath it. These steps make sure the new slab doesn't repeat it.
- Site walkEvery failed area measured and photographed, the cause identified, traffic and operating hours noted. Free.
- Proposal and paperworkItemised scope, phasing plan, price and warranty, usually within two business days, with COI and WSIB attached.
- Locates and permitsUtility locates booked before any digging; permits and municipal requirements checked where they apply.
- RemovalSaw cut to clean lines, old concrete broken out and hauled away the same day.
- Base rebuiltSoft or washed out material dug out, new granular placed and compacted in lifts. The step cheap jobs skip.
- Form and reinforceForms set to grade and slope for drainage, rebar or mesh sized for the load, dowels into adjoining slabs where needed.
- Pour and finishAir entrained concrete for freeze and thaw, broom finish for grip outdoors, control joints cut where cracks should go.
- Cure and reopenProtected while it cures, reopened on the agreed date, then before and after photos and the written warranty.

Questions
Commercial concrete replacement: common questions
By the area and thickness being replaced, access for equipment and removal, the base work needed, reinforcement, and how the schedule has to work around your operation, such as nights, weekends or phasing. Every job gets a free site walk and an itemised proposal, so you can see what each part costs and approve it in stages.
Usually, yes. The work is phased so at least one entrance, lane or dock door stays open at every stage, with nights and weekends where the site needs it, barricaded walk routes, and dated notices for tenants and customers.
Foot traffic usually after a day or two, cars after about a week, and heavier trucks later. Mix and curing are chosen for when each section has to reopen, and those dates are agreed in the proposal.
Yes, and it's usually the most cost effective approach. Failed sections are saw cut to clean lines and replaced, and the rest is repaired. New concrete won't match old concrete in colour at first; it weathers closer over time.
A municipal sidewalk in the public right of way is usually the city's to maintain, while walkways, curbs and aprons on your property are yours. If you're not sure where the line is on your site, we'll point it out on the site walk.
Utility locates are booked before any digging. Permits and municipal requirements are checked during the proposal and handled where they apply.
Exterior pours run from roughly April through November, when temperatures stay above freezing through curing. Interior slabs in heated buildings can be replaced year round. Urgent hazards in winter get a temporary fix and a scheduled replacement.
A three year written warranty on new concrete, and ten years on coatings if a finish goes on top. The terms are in the proposal before it's signed.
Yes. Commercial general liability and WSIB coverage, with a certificate naming your company and a current WSIB clearance sent with the proposal.
