Concrete Repair Contractors Scarborough

Driveways, garage floors, porches and walkways from Birch Cliff to Malvern. Repaired, resurfaced or replaced, whichever one yours actually needs.

Toronto Concrete Repairs has worked across Scarborough since 2015, mostly on the 1950s to 70s bungalows and split levels with the big double driveways the area is known for. 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 repair contractors in Scarborough charge, and what should you expect?

Scarborough 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 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 Scarborough double driveway between $15,000 and $26,000 and a garage floor replacement around $9,000 to $12,000. 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 Scarborough concrete fails, and what we do about it

Scarborough is driveway country. Most of it was built between 1950 and 1975 on wide lots with double and triple driveways, and a lot of those driveways are original. Poured thin, on fill that was never compacted, they sink at the garage and crack through at the apron. That's base failure, and the honest answer is replacement. The ones that only flake and spall on top are repaired or resurfaced for a fraction of that, and we tell you which from three photos.

Garage floors go the same way. 1960s attached garages in Bendale, Woburn, Dorset Park and Wexford were often poured over the rebar instead of around it, with no vapour barrier. When the lip at the door is broken it's a repair; when the slab has dropped, it's a new floor.

Clay and the Bluffs. Scarborough sits on heavy clay that heaves in winter and shrinks in dry summers, so walkways and porches move. Near the Bluffs, in Cliffside, Birch Cliff and Guildwood, the ground also drains fast and slabs settle. We check for movement before quoting, because resurfacing over a slab that's still moving fails within a season.

Permits: Scarborough is City of Toronto. Like for like replacement in the same footprint usually needs nothing. Widening a driveway, adding a second curb cut or paving more of the front yard does, and the City enforces the soft landscaping rule. We confirm which applies during the assessment.

Up to the high expectations

They removed our existing concrete driveway and did a remarkable job installing the new one. It was apparent from the start that they were very knowledgeable, and we were pleased their work was very much up to the high expectations we had from all the positive online reviews.

Sunk 4 to 6 inches, done in three days

My garage floor was cracked and sank more than 4 to 6 inches in a few spots, so I needed a complete replacement of the slab. They removed the old concrete, added gravel, levelled and compacted it, put down vapour barrier and wire mesh, and poured and levelled it perfectly. Done in three days from the initial site visit.

Questions

Concrete repair contractors in Scarborough: 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, so a double driveway lands between $15,000 and $26,000 and a garage floor replacement around $9,000 to $12,000. Text three photos and you'll have a written quote with the options priced side by side within one business day.

If the damage is on the surface (flaking, spalling, hairline cracks, stains) yes, and it costs a fraction of replacement. If sections have sunk, 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.

Yes. Many 1960s Scarborough garage floors were poured over the rebar with no vapour barrier and have dropped or cracked through. We remove the slab, rebuild and compact the base, lay a vapour barrier and rebar, and pour new, usually in two to four days. A broken lip at the door on an otherwise sound floor is a repair, not a replacement. See garage floor replacement.

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.

Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto. A like for like replacement in the same footprint usually doesn't need a permit. Widening the driveway, adding a curb cut or paving more of the front yard does, and the City enforces a soft landscaping minimum. We confirm which applies to your property 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.
