Home › Service Areas › Paradise Valley › Concrete Removal & Replacement
Patch jobs only go so far on badly failed concrete. We provide full removal and replacement for driveways, patios, and walkways across Paradise Valley, including near Mummy Mountain and Palo Cristi.
As a third-generation, family-owned concrete company led by an active firefighter, we bring the same precision and dependability to your project that the job demands — work built to hold up under pressure.
Why Paradise Valley Homeowners Trust Cortez Concrete for Concrete Removal & Replacement
Concrete that's failed once usually failed because of a base or drainage problem — replacing it without fixing that underlying issue just means the new concrete fails the same way. Paradise Valley's ultra-low-density estate lots come with strict hillside and architectural review standards that shape everything from driveway layout to pool deck design.
Here's what our process accounts for:
- Finish and color matching to blend with adjacent concrete that isn't being replaced
- Corrected base compaction and drainage design so the new concrete doesn't repeat the same failure
- Reinforcement upgrades where the original concrete was under-built
- Full demolition and haul-off of the failed concrete, included in every replacement project
- Root-cause diagnosis of why the original concrete failed — soil, drainage, or base issues
Our Concrete Removal & Replacement Process
- Assessment & Diagnosis — We evaluate why the existing concrete failed before scoping the replacement.
- Demolition & Haul-Off — Old concrete removed and hauled away.
- Corrected Base Prep — Base and drainage rebuilt to fix the underlying cause of the original failure.
- Pour & Finish — New concrete poured and finished to match or upgrade the original.
- Cure & Final Walkthrough — Proper cure time, then a final walkthrough to confirm the work.

Local Knowledge for Concrete Removal & Replacement in Paradise Valley
Paradise Valley permits through the Town of Paradise Valley, which enforces strict hillside and architectural review on its low-density estate lots.
PV's ultra-custom homes and pool-deck projects demand finishes and detailing that hold up to the town's design standards and the mountainside grades around Camelback and Mummy Mountain.
That local knowledge is the difference between removal & replacement work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Paradise Valley property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.
Three Generations of Family-Owned Arizona Concrete
Cortez Concrete isn't a franchise or a fly-by-night crew. We're a family business, now in our third generation, built on the same values our grandfather started with — showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. Our owner still works as an active firefighter, and that same sense of discipline, safety, and attention to detail carries over into every project we pour in Paradise Valley and across the Valley.
When you hire Cortez Concrete, you're not hiring a sales team — you're hiring a family that's put its name on Arizona concrete for decades.
Concrete Removal & Replacement in Paradise Valley: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full replacement take?
Most residential driveway or patio replacements take one to two weeks from demo to cured concrete.
How do I know if I need replacement instead of a repair?
Deep structural cracks, significant settling, or repeated failures usually mean replacement is more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
Can you replace just a damaged section instead of the whole driveway?
In many cases yes, and we can work to blend the finish with the remaining concrete.
Will the new concrete fail the same way the old concrete did?
Not if the underlying cause, usually base or drainage, is fixed first, which is a standard part of our replacement process.
Do you haul away the old concrete?
Yes, demolition and haul-off are included in our replacement projects.
Do I need a permit for removal & replacement work in Paradise Valley?
It depends on the scope, but most removal & replacement work in Paradise Valley is permitted through the Town of Paradise Valley, and we handle the submittal and any required inspections for you. We'll confirm exactly what your project needs during your free estimate.
