"Josh did my patio 2014 and gave me 5 years warranty on cracks and sealer. Once I called so he can fix he blocked all communication. And I have been trying to call him for the past 2 years with no reply at all. My patio is cracking and the color faded after one year"

"Raschke Concrete and Construction was hired to pour 2 concrete slabs and 2 transition pieces at our business (The Sandstone Retreat) totaling 14 yards on concrete for the price of $10,000. The owner Gabriel Raschke assured me that it would be no problem and that he could start next but he required half the money to get started. We told him that my wife and I got him name off of Angi's list but since we didn't know him we were only willing to give him 2,500 now and when he was finished with the forms we would give him a check for $5,000 to pay for the 14 yards of concrete. The concrete was supposed to be poured on Friday February 28th, 2025 so I took a personal day to supervise the job. Gabriel Raschke came Friday morning and informed me that the concrete will not be there until Monday March 3rd, 2025. I was not happy about this but if it had to be pushed back then it gets pushed back but I told him that I would not be on site that day. I instructed a good friend that was doing some work at the Sandstone Retreat that day to keep an eye on them and let me know how the concrete progress was going. The 1st concrete truck showed up around 12:45 on Monday March 3, 2025 and Raschke Concrete and Excavation started the concrete slab. I called my friend and was asking how the concrete was going. He informed me that they started so I said send me some pictures. He sent me some pictures and had some concerns about how it looked but I figured that it would be fine. My friend sent me more pictures about 20 minutes later and confirmed my concerns. I called my friend at the Sandstone and asked what was going on and he told me that it's not good. I sent Gabriel Raschke a text at 3:16 PM and asked what was going on but didn't get a response back from him until 6:37 PM saying that he is going to call the concrete company because they put to much calcium in the concrete and it set up to quickly. Gabriel called me and told me the whole story and said that there was too much Calcium in the concrete and he could get the job done because it set up to quickly. I told him that was not my problem and asked him how they are going to fix it. He said that he will put a skim coat of mortar on it and it would look good. I told him that won't fix the problem and that I want it all chipped out and removed."

Concrete steps need repair when you observe minor damage like hairline cracks, small chips, or slight surface deterioration. These issues don't compromise structural integrity. Consider replacement if you notice wide cracks exceeding 1/4 inch, significant crumbling, severe tilting, separation from adjacent structures, or exposed reinforcement materials.
Safety should be your priority—if steps feel unstable underfoot or show signs of major deterioration, consult a professional promptly for a thorough assessment.
The durability of concrete step repairs depends on several factors, including repair technique, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices. Industry professionals suggest that properly executed repairs can provide many years of service when maintained correctly.
Regular maintenance, like periodic sealing, can significantly extend repair longevity. The quality of workmanship makes a substantial difference—professionally completed repairs tend to outlast DIY attempts due to proper material selection, preparation, and application techniques.
Permit requirements for concrete step repairs vary significantly by location and project scope. Cosmetic repairs rarely require permits, while structural modifications or complete rebuilds often do. If you're changing the configuration, dimensions, or adding features like railings, check with your local building department before proceeding.
Many homeowners' associations also have guidelines governing exterior modifications. Working with experienced contractors can be advantageous as they understand local requirements and can handle necessary paperwork.
For optimal results, industry professionals recommend scheduling concrete repairs during moderate temperature periods when conditions are relatively dry. Proper curing requires appropriate conditions—extreme temperatures can negatively affect the setting process. Excessive moisture during installation can also compromise repair quality.
Planning ahead for suitable weather conditions increases the likelihood of successful, long-lasting repairs. If emergency repairs become necessary during less-than-ideal weather, specialized materials and techniques may be required to ensure proper results.
