Spalled and damaged commercial concrete surface needing repair

Commercial Concrete Repair and Resurfacing

Cracked curbs, spalled loading areas, uneven joints, worn thresholds, pitted surfaces, and trip hazards create more than an appearance problem. They can affect safety, traffic flow, equipment, and maintenance costs.

Damaged concrete can slow or damage carts, forklifts, trucks and impact pedestrians, and service crews. Left neglected, it can affect access, maintenance schedules, and customer-facing areas.

Restore damaged concrete without a full replacement

Simon Surfaces helps facility teams repair and resurface damaged concrete without unnecessary tear-out. We evaluate the concrete first, then recommend the right approach: localized repair, heavy-duty resurfacing, or replacement when the sub-surface requires it.

Our high-strength epoxy mortar is manufactured by our sister division, Simon Products, and is installed by trained crews. That gives your facility one accountable partner for material performance, preparation, installation, and follow-through.

A Better Approach to Commercial Concrete Repair

Concrete damage is often handled one of two ways: a quick patch that does not hold or a full tear-out that may not be necessary.

Simon Surfaces starts with the condition of the existing concrete. Before recommending a repair scope, we evaluate:

  • The depth and extent of the damage
  • The stability of the surrounding concrete
  • The traffic, impact, and load the area receives
  • Exposure to water, salt, oil, fuel, and chemicals
  • Access needs and operational requirements
  • Whether movement or deterioration is still active

This helps your team understand what can be repaired, what should be resurfaced, and what may need to be replaced. The result is a clearer scope and less uncertainty before work begins.

Concrete damage often starts with water intrusion, freeze-thaw cycles, de-icing salts, heavy wheel loads, forklift traffic, joint movement, impact, or poor drainage. If the cause is not addressed, the same area can become a repeat maintenance issue.

Repair, Resurface, or Replace?

The right solution depends on the damage, the condition of the surrounding concrete, and how the area is used.

Localized repairs are used for defined damage areas. Simon HD resurfacing is used when surface deterioration is more widespread, and the existing slab can still support a bonded overlay.

Localized Concrete Repair

Localized repair is appropriate when damage is limited to a defined area and the surrounding concrete remains stable.

Common examples include:

  • Broken curb corners
  • Spalled joints
  • Chipped thresholds
  • Small pits
  • Damaged transitions
  • Hairline cracks
  • Minor forklift or vehicle impact damage

Simon Surfaces repairs these areas to create a flat surface, resolving trip hazards..

Commercial Concrete Resurfacing

Resurfacing is appropriate when damage extends across a wider area, but the underlying slab is still stable enough to support a bonded overlay.

This may include:

  • Heavily pitted loading areas
  • Scaled walkways
  • Worn dumpster pads
  • Damaged service areas
  • Broad surface deterioration

Instead of placing multiple patches across the area, Simon Surfaces installs a bonded epoxy mortar overlay to create a new working surface. Resurfacing provides a consistent finish to blend repairs, and extend the usefulness of the existing slab.

Concrete Replacement

Replacement is recommended when the concrete can no longer support a reliable repair or resurfacing solution.

This may include:

  • Full-depth deterioration
  • Major displacement
  • Structural instability
  • Ongoing movement
  • Extensive failure below the surface

When replacement is necessary, we explain why. When repair or resurfacing is appropriate, we do not recommend unnecessary tear-out.

High-Strength Materials for Commercial Concrete Repair

Simon Surfaces uses epoxy mortar to restore damaged concrete in areas exposed to traffic, impact, chemicals, and weather. The material is two to three times stronger than standard concrete.

  • Curbs
  • Joints
  • Thresholds
  • Loading transitions
  • Impact areas
  • Industrial traffic zones

That added strength helps areas stand up to repeated vehicle traffic, equipment impact, de-icing materials, chemicals, and everyday facility exposure.

Custom colors are also available when a repair needs to blend with surrounding concrete, maintain a safety designation, or support facility branding.

Simon HD Resurfacing for Heavily Worn Areas

Simon HD is a 1/4-inch epoxy mortar overlay designed for concrete with widespread surface damage.

It is used in indoor and outdoor areas such as:

  • Loading docks
  • Sidewalks and curbs
  • Steps and stairs
  • Dumpster pads
  • Thresholds for industrial doors (garage, warehouse, storage)
  • Service areas
  • High-traffic facility surfaces

The 1/4-inch build provides more wear and impact resistance than a thin coating. It covers widespread pitting, restores a consistent working surface, and helps preserve the sound concrete below.

Simon HD cures at 10,000 PSI and can be finished with a slip-resistant texture for areas exposed to foot traffic, carts, forklifts, trucks, and repeated loading.

Why Facility Teams Partner With Simon Surfaces

One Partner From Evaluation Through Installation

Simon Surfaces manages the process from evaluation through installation. Your team does not have to coordinate between a material supplier, outside installer, and multiple points of accountability.

Trained Crews

The work is completed by trained crews who understand the materials, preparation requirements, and installation process.

Solutions Based on the Existing Concrete

We do not treat every concrete problem as a replacement project. Our team determines what can be repaired, what should be resurfaced, and what truly needs to be removed.

Work Planned Around Your Facility

Concrete repair should not create a larger operational problem. We coordinate access, curing, and return-to-service requirements before work begins. Projects can be phased by entrance, lane, loading bay, or work area to help reduce disruption. Our crews often work in off-hours to minimize impact on customers and employees.

Commercial Concrete Repair FAQs

What types of concrete damage can Simon Surfaces repair?

Common repair candidates include cracks, spalls, pits, broken joints, damaged thresholds, curb failures, and localized impact damage. The surrounding concrete must be stable enough to support the repair.

Can damaged concrete be repaired without replacing the slab?

Yes. When damage is localized or limited to the surface and the sub-base of the slab remains sound, repair or resurfacing may restore the area without full replacement.

When should concrete be resurfaced?

Resurfacing is appropriate when deterioration covers a larger area but the underlying slab remains stable. It provides a more consistent surface than placing multiple individual patches that may affect the aesthetics of customer-facing areas.

What causes commercial concrete to crack, pit, or spall?

Common causes include freeze-thaw cycles, water intrusion, de-icing salts, joint movement, forklift traffic, heavy wheel loads, vehicle impact, and poor drainage. Identifying the cause matters because unresolved movement or moisture can shorten the life of the repair.

How long does commercial concrete repair take?

Timing depends on the size of the area, preparation requirements, temperature, site access, and the selected solution. Small repairs often have a quick return-to-service cure time. Larger projects can  be phased to maintain access to entrances, lanes, or work areas.

Can Simon Surfaces support multiple locations?

Yes. We work with multi-site facility teams to evaluate recurring concrete problems, standardize repair scopes, and coordinate work across properties.
