Concrete Repair · Atlanta, GA
FloorForge self-performs commercial and residential concrete repair and restoration across the Atlanta metro — crack stitching and routing, spalling and surface-delamination repair, control-joint and expansion-joint recut and reseal, full-surface cementitious and epoxy mortar resurfacing overlays, and moisture-vapor mitigation tied to documented acceptance-criteria substrate testing. Atlanta's clay-heavy soil and humidity drive moisture, settlement, and freeze-thaw movement through every unprotected slab — every project starts with a sounding survey, a moisture-vapor transmission reading, and a calcium chloride or RH test where the spec calls for it, matched to the finish system specified and to any adjacent driveway, garage floor, patio, or pool deck scope. Buckhead residential slabs, Brookhaven and Sandy Springs driveway aprons, Marietta warehouse floors, Decatur intown, plus commercial loading-dock and distribution-center repair scopes across Alpharetta, Forest Park, and the I-285 perimeter. The repair scope is the prep — the finish coating or overlay system that follows lives on our concrete coatings hub, our epoxy flooring hub, and our polished concrete hub. OSHA-30 crews, $2M GL, and 24-hour bid turnaround.
Atlanta, GA
Atlanta concrete slabs fail in three predictable ways: surface-paste scaling from winter de-icing salt and freeze-thaw cycling, structural cracking from clay-heave movement and settlement, and joint failure where the original control-joint or expansion-joint has lost its seal and started letting moisture and debris into the slab edge. A epoxy coating, a polyaspartic sealer, a polished concrete finish, or a decorative overlay is only ever as durable as the substrate under it — and if the substrate has cracks that are still moving, soundness loss under the surface, or moisture pushing up through the slab, the finish system fails with it. FloorForge installs concrete repair and restoration as documented scope: a sounding survey and moisture-vapor test before any repair system is specified, the repair system matched to the condition and to the finish that follows, and a closeout package that records the substrate state the warranty and asset file require. We repair residential driveways across Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Marietta, and Decatur (tied to our driveway coatings hub), intown garage floors across Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, and Grant Park (tied to our garage flooring hub), residential patios and HOA courtyards across the metro (tied to our patio concrete hub), HOA and residential pool decks (tied to our pool deck coatings hub), and commercial loading-dock aprons, freezer-floor transitions, and warehouse slabs across Alpharetta, Marietta, and Forest Park (tied to our warehouse epoxy flooring hub and our concrete coatings hub). The repair scope is the prep; the coating or overlay system on top is listed separately because the prep and the finish are sold and warranted on different terms.
Repair System Types
Acceptance criteria: cracks ≤1/4" wide, slab is structurally sound, no differential movement across the crack plane for ≥90 days. V-groove routing of active cracks, carbon-fiber stitching staples across the crack at 12"–18" centers, and structural epoxy injection to fill the crack volume below the surface. The standard for driveway and garage slabs where the crack is dormant (no longer moving) but the owner wants to close the path that moisture uses to push up through the slab and lift the coating. Pairs upward into our epoxy flooring hub or our concrete coatings hub once the crack scope is closed.
Acceptance criteria: sounding survey completed (chain-drag or hammer-tap), delaminated areas marked out, all unsound material removed — no "hollow-sounding" zones remaining. Mechanical chip-out of unsound concrete with a chipping hammer or hand-held demo tool down to sound substrate, polymer-modified patch placed and troweled flush to the surrounding surface profile, then the patch re-profiled to ICRI CSP-3 before any coating is applied. Standard for Atlanta driveways that have scaled from winter de-icing salt, warehouse slabs that have spalled from forklift traffic, and pool decks that have surface-paste loss from freeze-thaw cycling. Bridges to our concrete coatings hub for the sealer system that follows.
Acceptance criteria: joint depth restored to ≥ slab thickness / 4, no debris in the joint after recut, joint edges square (not feathered), backer-rod sized to the recut depth before filler placement. Diamond-blade joint recut to the original full depth where the original control-joint has closed up or been filled with debris, backer-rod installation, and semi-rigid polyurethane or polyurea joint filler placed flush to the slab surface. Required prep before any epoxy flooring or polished concrete finish — an unfilled or unresealed joint telegraphs through the coating and lets moisture into the slab edge.
Acceptance criteria: slab passes compression test (≥3,000 psi), no active cracking in the underlying slab, moisture-vapor transmission ≤3 lb/1000 sq ft/24h per calcium chloride test (or relative humidity <75% per in-situ RH probe), surface profile ≥CSP-3 after prep. Cementitious or epoxy mortar overlay installed at 1/4" to 3/8" thickness over a structurally sound but cosmetically tired slab, finished to a trowel or broom profile as the spec calls for. The restoration path to our decorative concrete hub (stamped or stained overlay finish) or our concrete coatings hub (epoxy or polyaspartic sealer over the resurfaced slab).
Acceptance criteria: substrate prepped to CSP-5 or higher, moisture-tolerant primer wet-out completed before mortar placement, broadcast aggregate broadcast to rejection where the spec calls for slip resistance, mortar troweled flush to the surrounding surface profile and allowed to cure before any topcoat. Heavy-duty trowel-applied epoxy or polyurethane mortar for rebuilding worn loading-dock aprons, freezer-floor transitions, and pitted warehouse slabs where the surface loss is too deep for a skim-coat patch. The same repair-and-overlay discipline ties directly to our warehouse epoxy flooring hub for full warehouse floor scope and to our concrete coatings hub for the sealer system on top.
Acceptance criteria: calcium chloride moisture-vapor transmission test results in hand (target ≤3 lb/1000 sq ft/24h for most coating specs), surface profile ≥CSP-3, ambient RH <75% at the time of install, slab temperature within the coating manufacturer's specified window. Penetrating lithium-silicate densifier, 100% solids moisture-tolerant primer, and two-component epoxy moisture-vapor barrier where MVT exceeds the coating spec. The prep that makes the moisture-sensitive finishes downstream possible. Pairs into our basement flooring hub or our pool deck coatings hub for the moisture-sensitive finishes that require the MVT to be below the spec before any film-forming system is installed.
Use Cases
Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Marietta, and Decatur residential driveways where winter de-icing salt has scaled the surface paste or settlement has cracked the slab from below. Crack stitching and routing across active cracks, spalling and surface-delamination repair on the worst-scaled areas, then joint recut and reseal to close the moisture path below. Pairs with our driveway coatings hub for the sealer system that follows the repair once the substrate has been documented as repair-ready.
Intown Atlanta garages (Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Grant Park, Candler Park, Lake Claire) where the slab has settled differentially, cracked, or the original control-joint has failed and is now letting moisture up through the joint edge. Crack stitching where the slab has settled on one side of the crack and the differential is documented, joint recut and reseal where the original joint has closed up, and surface profile restoration to CSP-3 before any coating is applied. Pairs with our garage flooring hub for the epoxy broadcast or polyaspartic coating system installed after the structural repair is closed.
HOA community and residential pool decks where freeze-thaw cycling has spalled the surface paste off the slab or the original expansion-joint has lost its seal and started channeling water into the slab edge. Surface-delamination repair on the most-scaled areas, expansion-joint recut and reseal, and a cool-touch UV-stable sealer over the restored substrate. Pairs with our pool deck coatings hub for the UV-stable sealer and cool-touch color finish installed after the structural repair scope is closed.
Residential patios and HOA courtyards where settlement or weathering has degraded the original broom-finished or stamped surface, the slab has cracked across the control-joint grid, or a previous overlay has debonded from the substrate. Surface profile restoration to CSP-3, spalling and delamination repair where the surface paste has failed, joint recut and reseal, and a resurfacing overlay over the restored slab. Pairs with our patio concrete hub for the decorative overlay system installed on top of the structural repair.
Distribution and logistics facilities across Alpharetta, Marietta, Forest Park, and the I-285 perimeter where forklift traffic has pitted the slab, the original joint fill has failed and started channeling water into the slab edge, or freezer-floor transitions have spalled from thermal cycling. Epoxy mortar or polyurethane mortar patching on the deepest pits, control-joint recut and reseal, and a urethane mortar or 100% solids epoxy broadcast finish on top of the restored slab. Pairs with our warehouse epoxy flooring hub for the urethane mortar system installed after the structural repair.
Any slab that is being prepared for an epoxy flooring, concrete coating, or polished concrete finish and fails the ICRI substrate-readiness checklist. The slab must pass sounding (no hollow or delaminated zones), moisture testing (calcium chloride MVT ≤3 lb/1000 sq ft/24h or RH <75%), and surface profile testing (≥CSP-3) before any film-forming system is installed. Without these gates, the coating fails with the substrate. This is the scope the repair hub owns before the coating hub takes over.
Cost Factors
Atlanta concrete repair pricing ranges from $5 to $25 per square foot depending on system, damage extent, and adjacent scope integration. A simple crack stitch and joint reseal on a residential driveway sits at the lower end; a full-surface epoxy mortar resurfacing overlay with moisture-vapor barrier on a commercial warehouse slab sits at the upper end. Repair scope is normally priced separately from the finish coating or overlay system because the prep and the finish are sold on different terms — but pricing them as a combined package keeps the substrate acceptance criteria documented and the warranty clean.
Atlanta Credentials
HOA boards, property managers, and commercial facility owners across Atlanta increasingly need documented evidence that the slab was repair-ready before the coating system was installed — not just verbal confirmation once the coating has failed. FloorForge delivers OSHA credentials, insurance certificates, sounding-survey reports, moisture-vapor transmission readings, and adhesion test reports with every concrete repair and restoration closeout package. No chasing for paperwork after the warranty is on the line.
COI provided before contract signing. Additional insureds, umbrella riders, and workers' comp on file for any Atlanta concrete repair project — residential driveway, HOA community, multifamily, or commercial warehouse.
