Concrete repair in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Salt, freeze-thaw cycles and shifting clay soil wear down concrete across Metro Detroit. Common repair calls are cracked driveways, flaking (scaled) surfaces, broken edges and corners, crumbling front steps, and gaps where the walk meets the house.
A good contractor tells you honestly whether repair will last. Cracks can be routed and sealed, scaled surfaces can take a bonded resurfacer, and broken steps can be rebuilt with new treads or caps. When a slab is sunken but sound, concrete leveling may be the better fix; when it is broken into pieces, replacement usually costs less over time. Cracks in basement walls belong with foundation wall crack repair.
What a proper job includes
- Assessment of each problem area and a repair or replace recommendation
- Cleaning and preparation so repair material bonds
- Crack routing and filling with a flexible or rigid filler as suited
- Patching of spalled spots, edges and corners
- Resurfacing of scaled areas with a bonded overlay where appropriate
- Step repairs: treads, nosings, and loose railings reset
- Joint sealing where slabs meet the house or each other
What drives the price
- Type and number of repairs: cracks, patches, resurfacing, steps
- Total area to be resurfaced or patched
- Repair materials chosen (patching mortar, polymer overlay, sealant)
- Condition of the base and whether sections need removal
- Access and how much prep is needed
- Color matching and finish expectations

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Most repairs to private concrete are ordinary repairs that Michigan allows without a building permit. Structural repairs, rebuilt steps attached to the house, and any work on a public sidewalk or approach may need a permit; in Detroit, right-of-way work goes through the DPW City Engineering Division. Confirm with your local building department.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Look for a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Concrete, or a Residential Builder license, and check the number on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes
- Ask each contractor whether the repair will hold up or if replacement is smarter.
- Get the repair materials and prep steps in writing.
- Ask how patches will look next to old concrete: exact color match is rare.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Compare any warranty on patches and overlays, which is often shorter than on new concrete.
