Ponce Contractors

About Ponce Contractors

Concrete in Chicago takes a beating from winter freeze-thaw cycles and road salt, and Ponce Contractors lists concrete repair for driveways, patios, porches or decks, sidewalks, stairs, floors, foundations and walls. The company has 25 years in business and a team of five, and it works on residential and commercial properties.

Water is the main enemy of concrete in a cold climate. It seeps into small cracks, freezes, expands and widens them, and de-icing salt speeds up surface flaking, known as spalling. Front steps and stoops are especially vulnerable because of their exposure and the salt used on them. Small cracks and surface damage can often be patched or resurfaced, while sunken, heaved or badly broken slabs usually need to be removed and replaced. Foundation cracks deserve a closer look: hairline vertical cracks are common as concrete cures, while wide, horizontal or leaking cracks may point to more serious pressure on the wall.

Hours are posted Monday through Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with no Sunday hours. When you contact Ponce Contractors, describe the area that needs work, its size, the type of damage, and how long it has been happening. Photos with something for scale help, and mention whether any city sidewalk is involved, since that may involve a permit.
