Fixing driveway cracks, height differences, and broken edges, using TF Structural Concrete Repair 

I've been a concrete finisher for 15 years and that's the first time I seen some one edge with a margin trowel, no joke lol . Crafty work man

That's not a piece of cake...knowing what to do from the get go, skill, a helping hand and fast forward video makes it look like "something I could do".

This video is awesome, it just shows the procedure without talking about what his grandpa used to do or other crazy talk.

I love the colour of the cement. It reminds me of when I bought some cement.

I never get tired of watching this dude ATTACK his projects!! Outstanding!!

Impressive! Nicely done!

These Guys Did a Really Nice Job .

What a talent!Would love to find someone like you around here.

That’s some serious skill

You really make this look easy but I know it is a lot of work

You make it look so easy!

The work looks extremely impressive.

Excellent job!

An artist, indeed

You people are incredible.

That's so awesome. It looks like it's a freshly poured slab of concrete. Nice work. So satisfying to watch.

Awesome job!

This guy is an artist. And the guy making the mix, just as awesome. Well done, guys!

Nice work I need to do my backyard you just gave me an idea 💡

Wow! Yall worked yall azzes off. Good Job.

Looks really good. I know similar products are garbage . But with advancements in concrete and epoxy I hope this is a good product . Well done trowl work.

The guy with the trowel is a forking pro! Nice job well done

Amazing work !

Whatever they are paying this guy... double it. Fantastic!

Great Job!! You're Hired!! :)

Looks good Mike

Wish you guy could do my steps like that great work

I've been following you for years, I've applied techniques that I've learned from you... always GREAT QUALITY WORK!!

Looks amazing! Beautiful work.

Do it right the first time and this method is not needed. You got some good cement skills ,finishers are hard to find these days.

Awesome skills-good job

I've seen it before- thin layers like that crack and peel away after just several years

I really need to do this to my back patio. Beats pouring $7k of cement, but this is a beautiful repair. I hope I can just make it look decent.

You make that look easy.

Awsome job

I did this to a sidewalk and 5 years later still looks fine.

I’m so surprised you didn’t need to do any preparation to ensure the old concrete binds with the new, thin layer. I trust, I know what’s best. Thank you for sharing. 🥀

Exactly what I need.

Great skill and craftsmanship! Good job!!👍

That’s some trowel work right there. Fantastic job guys.

The guy spreading the cement is doing such a excellent job that it almost looks like he's spreading frosting on a cake 🎂.

That is outstanding

Wow, nice improvement

Resurfacing concrete driveway with epoxycrete is the way to do. It can last at least 20 years provided the driveway foundation is solid n no underlying condition.

Wow, looks easier on fast speed.

I don't know what you guys charge, but that's work to be proud of.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Very nice work. I would say that is virtually impossible to find a contractor capable of this skill level and the diligence to perform such exacting handiwork for a customer.

Looks great 👍 Love to see an update bad or good.

The correct way to build a driveway. First , you should slope the ground towards the street so the water drains into the street and doesn't collect under the concrete. Then you should compact crusher run every 2 inches and build it up to at least 6" with a "Thumper compactor", plate compactors DO NOT Compact good enough . Plate compactors are used to flatten and area for paver stones to be place on a level surface only. Then you should lay your #5 rebar and call the termite/ Bugman to come out and flood the area with termite poison so termites don't nest under the driveway/patio. If you are going to park a semi tractor or a heavy RV etc. on the driveway you will need at least an 8 inch slab, otherwise pour a 6" slab. Most driveways are poured onto uncompacted dirt , have little or undersized rebar and the concrete mix is under 4500 P.S.I.. If you are building a new home Always call the Bugman to soak the compacted gravel with termite solution, and I mean SOAK it not just spray it.

Beautiful

I feel like this video is a glimpse into an alternate universe, one where I chose to work in construction and lay concrete, instead of what I do now. Fascinating.

This is what was thinking of doing on my driveway also.. too expensive to have it removed for a whole new one... sometimes you have to go with DIY...

ABSOLUTELY A TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONAL THERE.

Man that guy works fast!

excellent job

If that area looked the same for a year or 2 without any more noticeable settling, this could be a great long term fix. If the owner noticed more and more settling "prefix", then the cracks will come back.

Won't it just crack again if you don't address the underlying problem?

i needed this so much. a thousand thank yous

you guys rock!

It's absolutely unbelievable how many trolls are leaving negative comments. Being myself a Mason, I know how much work that was. I'm 100% impressed. Also, I know homeowners. I guarantee they were told it would only get them a handful of years before possibly starting to scale. I also guarantee they didn't care. People are cheap. Great job guys. Hats off to you for running like a well oiled machine together. Very impressive

Awesome job! Amazing skill and talented. How does this morter hold up over the years? Does it have chances of chipping away and breaking apart? I always wondered this about levelers like self leveling product

Dude is in "BEAST MODE"!!

looks amazing, wish I could get you guys to come do mine lol

The fix looks great! Although I was wondering since the slab and top coat are separate, wouldn't the newer thinner area be prone to breaking under the weight of cars?

Класс, тоже предстоит делать что-то похожее, интересно было посмотреть на технику выполнения )

Amazing guys.... amazing

Nice job

What is making this stick to the old concrete? How long will this last? Does it crack when it freezes?

Great job and I liked the music too. How did you repair the big crack? We have some big cracks on our concrete driveway, but I don't think any are as bad as the one in the video-thumbnail. Maybe we can still save our driveway that to my knowledge was built in 1984 I never worked with concrete other than taking turns with my brothers when we were young boys stirring the concrete mix for our Father. I was told that I need to start by power-scrubbing wash our driveway - kind of like when I worked the midnight shift at Delchamps Grocery when we stripped and wax the floor. I will try to post a video of our driveway. I am the first and last line of "Chief Amateur in Charge" of home projects until we must call for professionals.

Everything done is Top notch! The only problem is the cracks are guaranteed to return because the concrete was not reinforced properly when poured the first time.

Right on!!

You can always tell when someone knows what they're doing. It's getting harder and harder to find.

Do you think he has done one of these jobs before or is this his first time?

I need to do this. Amazing work. Very awesome video for motivation. 💯

Wish you guys were in the Boston North area. Could your your skills

Hey, do you know your music sounds just like the beginning intro to “The King Will Come” by Wishbone Ash? Oh, good job on the video too LOL

OUT _UCKING STANDING !! GREAT JOB AND I MEAN GREAT ! Thanks for allowing the world to see your job ! Most quotes would be to rip it out n lay new cement! john

Thank you

Thats some skill there.

Aren't you supposed to grind the cracks out, clean, acid etch and neutralize, then dampen before spreading the patch you put on top? What you did looks good but will it last?

I'd love to see how this has held up. My concern is your brought the level of the driveway flush to the garage. That's never a good idea in snow states. You're going to either rot your garage door or have a run in of melted snow everytime you open the door. However, in mild climates, I'd love to see how long it lasts under the pressure of cars and trucks. The quality of layout is impressive though 👍🏻

amazing

What an artist

WOW, question? What didn't you use a Bonding Agent. That skim coat will crack and peel away from he original? It look's good, it wont last, you might get away with it if the home owner dos not live in very cold temps. I see SNOW, O well, please give an up after WINTER with video.

Looks like a good product, problem is by not tearing out and fixing the issue under the concrete this will continue to happen. The foundation was backfilled with dirt rather then a compactible material.

I didn't get the memo. I didn't know you could go over concrete. Looks great

Artist!

Two weeks later, they called professionals.

Looks good, but this is just going to crack in about a year

Great technique.Big Job and a lot of work?

Amazing

The existing concrete should’ve been etched and dampened first and the patch mortar should’ve been scrubbed in good as he was going. This ensures an optimal bond .

Ahh if you have a gravel driveway.. you never have to fix the cracks.. just saying.

Good skills is not their first rodeo they make it look easy wow I want them to do my drive way

GOOD JOB....

Awesome 👍

Excellent

Wow, that was an awesome job! finish looks great. Thanks for posting.

Good job and great skills.
