Budget Concrete Driveway Repair
The weather, accidents, and normal wear and tear can result in a damaged concrete driveway surface over the years. If on a tight budget, you may not have the option of replacing the entire driveway. For you, the most cost effective option is repair the cracks. You can save even more money by opting for a do-it-yourself project. A concrete driveway repair job is an easy project to master; you don’t even need to have any prior construction experience.
The first thing you want to do is ensure you have a clean surface. Sweep the driveway so there is no loose debris. It is even advisable to pressure wash the surface to ensure it is as clean as possible. The next step you take all depends on whether you are repairing a hole or a crack.
For holes in the driveway, they need to be filled. Buy epoxy mortar from a local home improvement or hardware store. Each brand should have specific directions for you to follow. If you didn’t buy a premixed bucket, you will need to add some water as directed. Simply fill the hold completely with the mixture and smooth it over so it is even.
For cracks in the driveway, the process is a bit different. First prime the cracks using a concrete primer. Once this is done, use fabric designed for crack repair to reinforce the cracks. A base coat is then applied over the fabric followed by a coating of polymer concrete. Smooth the area so it blends into the existing concrete.
Home improvement and hardware stores should carry a good selection of concrete driveway repair kits. If you want to improve the overall appearance of your driveway, consider resurfacing the entire driveway after fixing all holes or cracks to get a more attractive surface. A resurfacing job will make your driveway look like it is brand new!
Once the major cracks and holes are fixed, you will get a reinforced driveway that will continue to holdup for years. As previously stated, even with the best blending you will still be able to tell where those recent repairs were made. To you, this may look unsightly and unattractive.
Resurfacing the driveway is also simple and only requires an added step in the process. Those steps are to prime the entire driveway, add concrete texture, and smooth. If you want you can add color and then seal.
Concrete driveway repair is fast and easy. You get a more durable driveway while improving the overall appearance of your home. For the best results, keep all foot and car traffic off the driveway surface for at least 48 hours.
