Exposed Aggregate Concrete Repair in Wilmington, NC
Exposed aggregate concrete has decorative stones embedded in the surface that become visible when the cement paste is removed during finishing. When that paste layer fails, stones pop out and the surface gets uneven and rough in patches. Repairing it means matching the original aggregate mix and blending the repair so it doesn't stand out. A bad patch is often worse than the damage, so getting the mix right matters.

When to Call
When You Need Exposed Aggregate Concrete Repair

How It Works
Our Process for Exposed Aggregate Concrete Repair
- 1
Damage Assessment
We look at how deep the loss goes and whether the base slab is sound, since surface repairs won't hold over a failing substrate.
- 2
Surface Removal and Cleaning
Loose material is cut back to a clean, solid edge. Dust and debris are removed so the repair bonds properly.
- 3
Aggregate Match
We source aggregate that matches your existing stone in size and color as closely as possible before mixing the repair material.
- 4
Repair Placement and Exposure
The mix is placed, struck off, and the surface paste is removed at the right time to expose the stones uniformly.
Wilmington Context
Why this matters in Wilmington
Salt air and Wilmington's frequent rain events accelerate the breakdown of the cement paste holding aggregate in place, especially on older pool decks and driveways. Properties near the water see this damage earlier than inland slabs.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Exact color and texture matching is never guaranteed on aged concrete — weathering changes the original surface in ways a repair can't fully replicate. The size of the repair area and access to matching aggregate both affect the final cost.
