Concrete Porch Repair Restores Safety and Curb Appeal
This featured project involved the repair and resurfacing of a damaged concrete front porch in Wanamassa, New Jersey. The homeowner reached out seeking a solution to the extensive cracking and surface deterioration that had worsened over time. Their primary goals were to restore structural integrity, improve appearance, and ensure a safe, welcoming entryway.
The Challenge
As shown in the before image, the porch surface was extensively cracked, uneven, and starting to crumble at the edges. Years of wear, exposure to the elements, and previous patchwork had left the structure both unsightly and unsafe. The biggest challenge was blending structural repair with cosmetic resurfacing, ensuring durability without compromising aesthetics.

My Approach
I began by thoroughly assessing the integrity of the existing concrete to determine which areas needed complete refilling versus surface repair. After cleaning and prepping the surface, I used a concrete patching compound to fill the cracks and level the surface. The materials were selected specifically for their durability and compatibility with the existing slab. Precision was key—especially in smoothing out the transition between new and old surfaces, which is clearly visible in the after image.
THE TRANSFORMATION
The transformation is a testament to what proper technique and attention to detail can achieve. The cracks and uneven textures were effectively filled and smoothed, leaving the porch with a renewed surface ready for a new topcoat or finish. The after image highlights the clean patchwork and even plane, significantly improving both the visual and functional quality of the entryway.
