Services
Concrete Leveling
Our PolyLift polyurethane foam system raises sunken concrete slabs by injecting high-density foam beneath surfaces. This method stabilizes foundations, eliminates trip hazards, and restores drainage patterns. Commercial and residential applications include driveways, sidewalks, and pool decks.
Garage Floor Coatings
Durable polyaspartic and epoxy coatings protect garage floors from chemicals, abrasions, and UV damage. Systems include anti-slip additives and decorative flakes while providing seamless, easy-to-clean surfaces that resist staining and yellowing over time.
Concrete Sealing
Commercial-grade penetrating sealers protect concrete from water intrusion, freeze-thaw damage, and chemical exposure. Treatments extend surface lifespan by preventing cracks, spalling, and discoloration while maintaining natural aesthetics and texture.
Crack Repair
SuperFlex silicone-based sealant fills concrete cracks and joints to prevent water infiltration and weed growth. The flexible material accommodates slab movement, resists UV degradation, and maintains structural integrity across seasonal temperature changes.
Commercial Concrete Lifting
Specialized solutions for commercial properties restore uneven sidewalks, loading docks, and parking lots. Rapid-curing polyurethane foam minimizes business disruption while providing long-term stability for high-traffic areas and heavy equipment zones.

The professionals at Concrete Hero are miracle workers! Our patio and back sidewalks had sunk 6 + inches over the years and the concrete was in horrible condition. Concrete Hero effectively raised the patio and sidewalks back up to their original height, thoroughly power washed and cleaned the concrete, and then carefully sealed the joints. Our 30 year old patio and sidewalks look brand new! We could not be happier with this company and their hard work! We highly recommend them.

Great company to work with. Fair prices, super nice people and it was an all inclusive package, where as other companies did one thing and you had to find another for the next step. Had our patio leveled and to be completely honest, it looks fantastic now! Better than it did when we bought the house. I would not hesitate to refer people to Concrete Hero.

My patio in the backyard had sunk to the point where we couldn't eat outside without food rolling around on our plates. I contacted Concrete Hero and they were able to level it perfectly. I wish I had done this sooner but I'm glad me and my family can finally enjoy our summer in the backyard. Service: Concrete leveling

Excellent experience with Concrete Hero! Pete stopped by when it was still cold out and gave me a fair price on raising a 3 drop in the concrete where it entered the garage. He came back out to do the work as soon as the weather was warm enough. They arrived early and got right to work. The lifting went smoothly with no cracking and only several small marks where the drilling was done. It's pretty much perfect now and can't be felt when driving the cars into the garage. I've already had neighbors asking me for the referral which I was happy to provide.
