Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

In Gilbert, Arizona, homeowner [Customer Name] was dealing with an unsightly and deteriorating concrete driveway and patio. Years of exposure to moisture, chemicals, and general wear and tear had left the concrete stained, mismatched, and dull. The lack of proper sealing had caused the surface to absorb moisture, leading to cracks, flaking, and other forms of surface damage. The homeowner was concerned about the curb appeal of their home, especially with upcoming family gatherings and neighborhood events.

Foreman Gamalier and the team at Arizona Foundation Solutions were brought in to assess the situation and provide a solution. After an evaluation by Design Specialist Derek, it was clear that the best course of action to enhance and protect the homeowner’s concrete was the use of DecoShield™, a premium translucent concrete sealer. Amanda, the Customer Care Representative, booked the consultation, making the process seamless from start to finish. The goal was to improve both the look and durability of the concrete, using DecoShield’s protective and visually appealing tinted finish.

After the expert installation of the DecoShield™ concrete sealer, the transformation was remarkable. The driveway and patio in Gilbert, Arizona, now had a fresh, uniform appearance that significantly boosted the home’s curb appeal. The translucent tinted DecoShield provided a vibrant, clean finish that complemented the home’s exterior while offering long-term protection from further wear and tear.

Foreman Gamalier and his team followed Arizona Foundation Solutions' 4-step process to ensure lasting results. The surface was first treated with a special etching liquid and then power-washed, allowing it to dry thoroughly before the application. Multiple coats of the tinted sealer were applied, creating a protective barrier that shields the concrete from moisture, chemicals, and UV damage. The final sealing coat ensured the durability of the finish.

Thanks to Design Specialist Derek’s careful evaluation and the team’s flawless execution, the homeowner’s driveway and patio were transformed from dull and damaged to a vibrant, polished look. The DecoShield sealer not only minimized the mismatched areas but also protected against future damage, ensuring the concrete would remain beautiful and durable for years to come.

The homeowners of a single-family home in Gilbert, AZ reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions regarding some cracks in their floor. The owners needed to replace their tile floor and noticed that the cracks were very deep and wide. Arizona Foundation Solutions came up with the idea of solving the crack problem. By performing some concrete crack stitches, the issues were solved, and as you can tell on the before & after photos you can barely see the cracks now.

After thorough planning and evaluation, Juan and the Arizona Foundation Solutions team executed the repair using carbon fiber stitching. The process started with precise non-parallel cuts along the cracked areas of the foundation. Then, super high-strength carbon fiber laminates were installed into the cuts to bridge the cracks. Following the installation, low-viscosity polyurea was injected into and around the cracks to secure the carbon fiber and reinforce the structure.

The final step involved smoothing and grinding the repaired area for a polished finish. The entire process was quick, minimally disruptive, and more cost-effective than traditional methods, ensuring the foundation was stronger than before.

The Solution:

Step 1: Non-parallel cuts made along the foundation cracks.

Step 2: Installation of super-strength carbon fiber laminates into the cuts.

Step 3: Filling cracks with low-viscosity polyurea for reinforcement.

Step 4: Grinding the area smooth for a clean, finished look.

Results:

The foundation cracks were completely repaired with high-strength carbon fiber stitching, ensuring the structural integrity of the home. The homeowners were pleased with the quick, efficient process and the professionalism of the team, especially Juan’s oversight and Eli’s expertise in selecting the appropriate repair solution.
