The typical range
Typical Concrete Repair Price Ranges
Patching minor cracks and holes is relatively cheap, while replacing concrete typically runs a few dollars more per square foot than pouring new, because the old slab has to come out and the ground has to be prepped first.
Where your job lands depends on the slab. A bigger area, a slab that has to be broken out or a decorative finish all push the number up, and a single small crack keeps it down.
The exact price comes from a free look at your slab. We measure it, tell you whether it needs a patch, a lift or a replacement, and quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.

Patch, lift or replace
Patching, Leveling and Replacement Compared
Repair usually costs much less than replacement because it keeps the sound slab, and leveling a sunken slab costs far less than tearing it out. The less concrete that has to come out, the less you pay.
Here is how the three fixes compare on what you pay for.
-
Crack and hole repair
Patch
- Fixes
- Minor cracks, holes, chips and "spalling", the flaking surface, on a slab that is otherwise sound.
- You pay for
- Cleaning out the damage and filling it, on a small area.
- Cost
- Relatively cheap, because the slab stays where it is.
-
Saves the tear-out
"Slabjacking" a sunken slab
Level
- Fixes
- A slab that has sunk but is still in one piece.
- You pay for
- Pumping cement slurry, or foam in "polyjacking", under the slab to lift it back to grade.
- Cost
- Foam costs more than mudjacking, since the material costs more and the work needs trained crews and special equipment, but either kind of concrete leveling costs far less than replacing the slab, as our page on
-
Tear-out and re-pour
Replace
- Fixes
- Concrete too broken up or too far gone to repair.
- You pay for
- Breaking out and hauling the old slab, prepping the ground, then the new pour.
- Cost
- The most, and more per square foot than new work.
What sets your number
What Moves the Price of a Repair
Project size, removal of old concrete, the finish, site access, excavation and prep, and labor rates move the final price. Two slabs with the same crack can price differently because of what sits around them.
These are the things that move a concrete repair price up or down:
- Project size
More square feet means more material and more hours. One crack and a whole driveway of "flatwork" are different jobs.
- Removal
Whether old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off first. It is most of why replacing costs more than pouring new.
- Finish
Smoothing and texturing are work of their own, and the finish you choose changes what the job comes to.
- Site access
A slab we can reach straight from the street goes quicker than one behind a block wall or down a narrow side yard.
- Excavation
Digging out, leveling and packing a "compacted base" under a new section is prep work, and it shows up in the price.
- Labor
Labor rates sit inside every concrete price, so a job that takes more hands or more hours costs more.
Before you compare bids
Checking a Contractor Before You Hire
You should confirm a New Mexico contractor's license with the state's New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, Construction Industries Division before you compare bids. A concrete contractor should carry the license and insurance the job needs.
Ask each contractor for these before you weigh their prices:
- A license you have confirmed. Look it up with the state yourself rather than take it on trust.
- General liability insurance. It covers damage to your property during the work.
- Workers' compensation. It covers the crew if someone is hurt on your property.
- The whole job in writing. A quote that leaves out removal or prep is not the full price.
We are licensed and insured, and we quote the whole job before we start.
Straight answer
Is the Lowest Bid the Best Value?
Usually not. The lowest bid usually reflects skipped steps, not a more efficient contractor.
Much of what a concrete repair costs is work you cannot see once it is done: the removal, the ground under the slab, the cure. When one bid sits well under the rest, ask which of those steps it leaves out.
