Concrete Contractors Markham
Porches, driveways, garage floors and walkways from Unionville to Cornell. Repaired, resurfaced or replaced, whichever one yours actually needs.
Toronto Concrete Repairs has worked across Markham since 2015, from the heritage streets of Unionville and Markham Village to the 1980s subdivisions of Milliken and the rear lane neighbourhoods of Cornell, Wismer and Cathedraltown. Because we do repair, resurfacing and replacement, the option we recommend is the one your concrete needs, not the one that pays us more.
Quick answer
What do concrete contractors in Markham charge, and what should you expect?
Markham concrete work falls into three price bands. Repair of cracks, spalling, a broken garage lip or crumbling step edges on a sound slab starts around $2,000. Resurfacing a worn driveway, porch, patio or walkway with a bonded overlay runs about $7 to $10 per square foot. Removing and replacing failed concrete runs about $30 per square foot, which puts a double driveway between $15,000 and $26,000, a garage floor replacement around $9,000 to $12,000, and a full porch and steps rebuild between $20,000 and $30,000. Toronto Concrete Repairs quotes all three in writing from three photos, usually within one business day, with the price held 21 days and a written warranty: three years on new concrete and overlays, ten years on coatings depending on the surface. If your concrete can be saved, we'll say so.

Local knowledge
Why Markham concrete fails, and what we do about it
Markham has four generations of concrete, and each fails differently. Unionville and Markham Village have century homes with 1920s to 50s porches and walkways: solid, unreinforced, spalling at the edges but sound underneath, so they're repaired and resurfaced. Thornhill, German Mills and Bayview Glen date to the 1960s and 70s, with original garage floors poured over the rebar and driveways on thin base. Milliken, Raymerville and Markville are 1980s and 90s builder subdivisions with porches that have settled on their backfill.
Then there's Cornell, Wismer, Greensborough and Cathedraltown. Built from the late 1990s on with rear lanes, detached laneway garages and big front porches as the whole point of the street. Those porches are the house's face, and when a builder porch on unsettled fill drops away from the brick, it shows from the sidewalk. That's a rebuild on a proper footing, not a patch. The laneway garage slabs crack the same way any thin slab does and are repaired or replaced from the lane, with no front yard disruption.
The ground is Rouge clay. Most of Markham sits on heavy clay drained by the Rouge, Bruce Creek and Berczy Creek. It heaves in winter and shrinks in dry summers, so walkways and patios move. We check for movement before quoting, because resurfacing a slab that's still moving fails within a season.
Permits: Markham is York Region, so City of Markham rules apply, not Toronto's. Like for like replacement in the same footprint usually needs nothing. Widening a driveway is regulated by Markham's zoning by law, with limits on driveway width and a minimum of landscaped front yard, and the heritage districts in Unionville and Markham Village have their own approvals for anything visible from the street. We confirm what applies to your lot during the assessment.

★★★★★
He gave me the choice, not a hard sell
Hubert came out and gave me two options: repair the lip, or replace the entire floor. When I asked his opinion, he said it was my choice, but in his experience a cracked lip means issues with the rest. I replaced the whole floor and I'm glad I did. The original was poured over the rebar instead of embedding it.
★★★★★
Looks like a brand new porch
This is the second project I've hired Toronto Concrete Repair to complete, and once again they did a phenomenal job in record time. They repaired the concrete on my front porch and steps and applied a decorative coating. Incredible work, it looks like a brand new porch.
★★★★★
New garage slab and shed pad
Had a new garage slab poured and a large shed pad poured. The crew were really great to work with. They obviously care about the quality of their work and don't rush through any of the steps, and it shows in the outcome.
Questions
Concrete contractors in Markham: common questions
Repairs on a sound slab start around $2,000. Resurfacing with a bonded overlay runs about $7 to $10 per square foot. Removing and replacing concrete runs about $30 per square foot for a broom finish, so a double driveway lands between $15,000 and $26,000, a garage floor replacement around $9,000 to $12,000, and a full porch and steps rebuild between $20,000 and $30,000. Exposed aggregate and stamped finishes are priced above broom. Text three photos and you'll have a written quote with the options priced side by side within one business day.
Usually not. Those neighbourhoods were built from the late 1990s on, and the porches were often poured on the backfill around the foundation before it settled. A decade later the porch sinks and a gap opens at the brick. Filling the gap hides it for a season. The fix is to remove the porch and rebuild it on a footing that reaches undisturbed ground. If the porch is level and only the surface is spalling, that's a one day repair. We tell you which from three photos.
Yes. Cornell, Cathedraltown, Greensborough and parts of Wismer have detached garages on rear lanes. We repair and replace those slabs from the lane, so the front yard and the street aren't touched. Access is tighter than a front drive garage, which we price from photos of the lane. See garage floor repair and garage floor replacement.
If the damage is on the surface (flaking, spalling, hairline cracks, stains) yes, at a fraction of replacement. If sections have sunk at the garage, slabs sit at different heights or cracks run clean through and keep growing, the base has failed and replacement is the honest answer. The driveway repair page has a 30 second check you can do yourself before you text us.
A written warranty on every job: three years on new concrete and on overlays, and ten years on coatings depending on the surface they're applied to. The terms are in your quote before you sign.
Markham is York Region, with its own rules separate from Toronto. Repairs and resurfacing don't need a permit, and a like for like replacement in the same footprint usually doesn't either. Widening a driveway is regulated by the City of Markham zoning by law, which limits driveway width and requires a minimum of landscaped front yard. In the Unionville and Markham Village heritage districts, changes visible from the street can need heritage approval. We confirm what applies to your lot during the assessment and handle the permit where one is needed.
Exterior work runs from roughly April through November, when temperatures stay above freezing through the curing period. Interior work, basement floors, garage floors and epoxy coatings, carries on all winter.
