Concrete Repair & Resurfacing in Palatine, IL
Palatine repair work splits by neighbourhood. In Winston Park the 1960s slabs are candidates for resurfacing where the surface has spalled but the slab is flat. On the sloped lots toward Plum Grove Hills the more common problem is erosion undermining the edge of a driveway, where water running downhill has washed the base out from under one side. An overlay will not fix that.

Palatine specifics
Resurfacing and crack repair need no permit in Palatine. On the sloped northwest side the failure mode to watch is undermining: water washes the base out from beneath the low edge of a slab, which then cracks and drops. Resurfacing does nothing there, because the support is gone rather than the surface.
Questions
The edge of my driveway has dropped. Can it be resurfaced?
No. A dropped edge means the base has washed out from under it, which is a support problem. An overlay would crack in the same place. We rebuild the edge and redirect the water.
How do I tell surface damage from a base problem?
Surface damage is flaking and pitting on a slab that is still flat and does not move. A base problem shows as sections at different heights, rocking underfoot, or a dropped edge. We check both at the estimate.
Is a permit needed for repair work in Palatine?
No. Resurfacing and crack repair add no impervious surface and do not touch the right-of-way, so no building or right-of-way permit is required.
