Broken concrete is more than an eyesore. It is a trip hazard and a liability. Cracked aprons, heaving sidewalks, and crumbling curbs make your property look neglected. They also put visitors at risk.
Asphalt Paving Professionals handles commercial concrete repair across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. We fix concrete aprons, sidewalks, curbs, garage floors, and loading dock areas. Every job gets proper subbase prep, quality concrete, and a clean finish.
Commercial properties need a contractor who understands heavy traffic and Chicago weather. We use the right mix designs, proper reinforcement, and proven finishing methods. Your new concrete will hold up to trucks, salt, and freeze-thaw cycles for years.
What We Repair
We fix all types of commercial concrete. Here are the most common repairs we handle for businesses across Chicagoland.
Concrete Aprons
Driveway and garage aprons that are cracked, sunken, or broken. We remove and replace them with reinforced concrete.
Sidewalks and Walkways
Heaving and cracked sidewalks are a trip hazard. We replace damaged sections and match the grade for a smooth, safe surface.
Curbs and Gutters
Broken curbs hurt your property's look and drainage. We pour new curbs and gutters that direct water where it needs to go.
Garage Floors
Cracked and spalling garage floors get worse fast. We remove the damaged concrete, fix the base, and pour a new slab.
Loading Dock Areas
Heavy trucks beat up loading areas. We repair dock pads and approach slabs with high-strength concrete built for the load.
Our Concrete Repair Process
Every concrete repair follows a five-step process. This is how we deliver lasting results on every project.
Assess Damage
We inspect the concrete and check the subbase. You get a clear report on what needs to be fixed and a free estimate.
Remove Damaged Concrete
We saw-cut clean edges and remove all the broken concrete. This gives the new pour a solid bond and a clean look.
Prep Subbase
We compact the gravel base and check for proper drainage. A solid subbase prevents settling and future cracking.
Pour New Concrete
We pour commercial-grade concrete with the right mix for your application. Rebar or fiber mesh is added where needed.
Finish and Cure
We trowel the surface smooth, cut control joints, and apply a curing compound. The concrete needs time to reach full strength.

Concrete vs Asphalt
Not sure which material is right for your repair? Here is a quick comparison to help you decide.
| Feature | Concrete | Asphalt |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Aprons, sidewalks, curbs, garage floors | Parking lots, driveways, roads |
| Lifespan | 30+ years with proper care | 20+ years with sealcoating |
| Heavy Loads | Great for static heavy loads | Great for rolling traffic |
| Cure Time | 7 days before traffic | 24 to 48 hours |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance, seal joints | Sealcoat every 2 to 3 years |
| Cost | Higher upfront, lower long-term | Lower upfront, ongoing upkeep |
Many commercial properties use both materials. We can help you choose the right option for each area of your property.
Signs You Need Concrete Repair
Watch for these warning signs. Catching problems early saves money and prevents bigger damage.
- Spalling or flaking on the surface where the top layer peels away
- Heaving slabs that are pushed up by frost or tree roots
- Wide cracks that keep getting bigger each season
- Uneven surfaces that create trip hazards for customers and employees
- Drainage problems where water pools on or around the concrete
- Crumbling edges along curbs, aprons, or walkways
Why Chicago Concrete Spalls and Flakes
Concrete damage in Chicago works differently than asphalt damage. Salt does not just sit on the surface. It draws moisture into the concrete through osmosis. When that moisture freezes, the top layer flakes off in sheets. This is called spalling, and it is the number one concrete problem in the Midwest.
Magnesium chloride de-icers are even more aggressive than regular rock salt. They create a chemical reaction inside the concrete that weakens the paste holding the aggregate together. Garage aprons and sidewalks take the worst beating because they get the most de-icer exposure all winter long.
Asphalt Paving Professionals uses air-entrained concrete mixes designed to resist both the chemical attack and the physical freeze-thaw pressure. We also recommend proper sealing to block salt and moisture from getting in. The right mix plus the right sealer means your concrete lasts through Chicago winters instead of falling apart.
