Why Concrete Patios Crack or Experience Other Damage
It’s not uncommon for concrete to crack. Cracks are due to a variety of factors such as improper installation, heavy loads, nearby tree roots, and more. It can also occur from other unavoidable factors such as the ground settling or freeze-thaw cycles.

Unfortunately, damage is just inevitable over time, especially if the concrete patio gets a lot of wear and tear from things like foot traffic and/or sun exposure.
Why Repair Damage Promptly?
If you notice that your concrete patio has damaged spots, it’s important to resolve issues as soon as possible. Staying on top of damage prevents further damage, reduces tripping hazards, and avoids more costly repairs over time.

Resolving a Damaged Patio
We’re often asked: If my patio is damaged, do I have to tear all the concrete out and repour? Fortunately, if the concrete slab is viable, the answer is no. A reputable contractor such as SUNDEK of Houston can repair your existing damage and then resurface the slab, creating a surface that looks brand-new.
Generally, here’s how we approach resurfacing a damaged patio:
- Assess the surface to verify that it’s viable (we will not resurface a slab that has major structural issues).
- Prepare the surface for a new coating. This includes grinding the surface to remove all sealers, paints, and other materials that would interfere with the new coating adhering properly.
- Apply a new coating to the surface, customizing it with colors, patterns, and textures according to customer preferences.
- Finish with a high-quality sealer to protect it from future damage.
A Creative Solution for Cracked Concrete Patios
At SUNDEK of Houston, we are proud to offer our Custom Scoreline Effect to customers with concrete patios that are experiencing cracking. Here’s how we complete this technique:
- Open cracks with a grinder wheel.
- Use a grinder to create scorelines on the rest of the surface to create a pattern.
- Fill scored cracks with a sealant to prevent water and debris from getting inside.
- Apply a finishing coat, available in many colors and textures.
This approach allows our clients to refresh their concrete without ripping anything out. It also provides peace of mind, as this technique works with the cracks rather than against them.
