Concrete Removal & Replacement in Tempe, AZ

Home › Service Areas › Tempe › Concrete Removal & Replacement

When a driveway, patio, or walkway has cracked, sunken, or heaved beyond repair, replacement is the only real fix — and Cortez Concrete handles the entire process, from demo to final finish, throughout Tempe, from Corona del Sol area to Kiwanis Park area.

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 Tempe Property Owners Choose 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. Tempe's older, denser lots mean tighter equipment access and mature tree roots that have to be worked around during excavation.

Here's what we get right on every job:

Minimal disruption timeline so your driveway or patio is back in use as fast as possible
Finish and color matching to blend with adjacent concrete that isn't being replaced
Reinforcement upgrades where the original concrete was under-built
Full demolition and haul-off of the failed concrete, included in every replacement project

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 Tempe

Tempe permits through the City of Tempe, and its older, denser lots frequently mean tight equipment access and mature tree roots we have to work around during excavation.

As a built-out college town, most Tempe concrete work is replacement and renovation rather than new construction, which calls for careful demo next to existing structures.

That local knowledge is the difference between removal & replacement work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Tempe property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.

A Family Name Arizona Has Trusted for Three Generations

We're not a franchise or a rotating crew of subcontractors. Cortez Concrete is a third-generation family business, run on the values our grandfather started with — show up, do it right, and stand behind it. With an active firefighter at the helm, that discipline and attention to safety shows up in every Tempe-area project we pour 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 Tempe: 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.

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.

Do you haul away the old concrete?

Yes, demolition and haul-off are included in our replacement projects.

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.

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 I need a permit for removal & replacement work in Tempe?

It depends on the scope, but most removal & replacement work in Tempe is permitted through the City of Tempe, and we handle the submittal and any required inspections for you. We'll confirm exactly what your project needs during your free estimate.
