Concrete Replacement Toronto
Trusted, Fast, and Guaranteed Work
Concrete Replacement in Toronto Trusted by Homeowners
When concrete breaks down, it doesn’t just look bad. It gets in the way. Cracks spread. Edges chip. You might trip on it. Water pools where it shouldn’t. You’ve seen it happen on driveways, porches, even garage floors.
At some point, patching won’t help. That’s where we step in.
We work across Toronto replacing old, damaged concrete. We don’t cover it up. We take it out and start fresh. Stronger, flatter, better looking. Meant to last for years.
If your concrete is sinking or falling apart, now’s a good time to deal with it.
Why Toronto Homeowners Choose A&A for Concrete Replacement
Most people don’t want to deal with concrete more than once. So when they do, they look for a crew that gets it right. That’s what we do.
We’re not here to rush a pour and move on. We check the site. We dig up the problem. We prep the ground like we’re building our own foundation. Homeowners across Toronto come to us because we take it seriously.
We’ve replaced concrete driveways in Scarborough, front steps in Etobicoke, garage floors near downtown. Every job, we show up on time. We clean up after. We don’t leave until it’s done right.
You’ll see the difference in the finish. But more than that, you’ll feel it under your feet.
Concrete Replacement Applications Across Toronto Properties
Old concrete fails in different ways. Cracks. Heaving. Sinking. Flaking. We’ve seen it all.
We replace concrete on all types of residential properties across Toronto. Here’s what we usually work on:
- Driveways that are cracked, uneven, or past repair
- Front steps that feel unsafe or look worn down
- Garage floors with major cracks or surface damage
- Porches that have sunk or started to pull away from the house
- Backyard patios with rough, broken surfaces
- Walkways that are chipped or shifting from frost heave
- Concrete slabs that have been patched too many times
If you’ve got any of these on your property, we can remove the old and pour new. No guesswork. No cover-ups.
What Makes Our Concrete Replacement System Different in Toronto
Concrete replacement takes more than just pouring cement. The results depend on how the job is handled from start to finish.
- We prepare the site the right way. That means checking the slope, ground condition, and how water moves across the area.
- We match the concrete to the job. A driveway, porch, and garage floor each need different strength and thickness.
- We reinforce with the right materials. Rebar, mesh, and fiber help the slab hold up under pressure.
- We avoid poor timing. Cold snaps, rain, and quick drying can cause cracks. We plan pours around the weather.
- We finish and seal the surface. Joints are placed early. Edges are shaped clean. The slab is sealed for protection.
This is what sets our work apart. No filler work. No quick jobs. Just solid concrete that’s meant to last.
How We Handle Every Concrete Replacement Project
We don’t guess our way through a job. Every replacement follows a clear process from start to finish. No matter if it’s a porch, a driveway, or a garage floor—we follow the same steps to make sure it holds up over time.

Why Concrete Replacement Is Worth It in Toronto
Concrete doesn’t just fail on the surface. When the ground shifts, water seeps in, or years of wear build up, the real damage happens underneath. That’s why patching the top doesn’t always solve the problem.
Replacing your concrete fixes the root of it. A full replacement resets the base, improves drainage, and matches the right strength mix to the right surface. It’s not just a cosmetic job—it keeps your space safe and stable over time.
In Toronto, where freeze-thaw cycles cause heaving and surface erosion, the type of replacement you choose matters. It’s worth knowing what kind of concrete is suited to local conditions. The City of Toronto’s guidelines on paving and construction near homes offer helpful insight into that.
You’ll also want to check if your project needs a building permit before starting. Some types of concrete work fall under regulated changes, especially if you’re altering the grade or replacing large areas connected to drainage systems.
Thinking long term also means knowing how your concrete will handle salt, water, or vehicle traffic. You can review Toronto’s winter maintenance tips for more on how the city manages surface wear through the seasons.
What Homeowners Across Toronto Are Saying About Our Replacements
Most of the people we work with heard about us from someone they know. A neighbor. A relative. A friend who had their driveway or steps redone and told them, “Call these guys.”
That means a lot to us. It means the job lasted. It looked good. It felt solid underfoot. That kind of feedback tells us we’re doing it right.

Chimney Replacement And Tuckpointing
I was extremely pleased with the service I received from A&A. They played a critical role in completing a necessary multi-stage project on my home.
I needed to replace a worn out chimney before I could replace my shingles which had begun to leak, so I needed masonry services quickly. I had received several estimates from other well-reviewed companies, but none of them would commit to doing the job in a time frame which would allow my overall project to be completed before the storm season arrived. I was thrilled when the booking agent at A&A was able to communicate with one of his crews while I was on the line, and arrange to have them at my home the following morning, with a competitive quote for the chimney and tuckpointing work I required.
The crew was friendly, respectful, and clean, and did excellent quality work, which was completed in 2 days, allowing me to book the second stage of my project.
I would be pleased to recommend A&A Masonry to anyone.

Brickwork Repair/Replace
Repair of brick spalling, about 50 bricks. A & A was fast replying, from their estimate to complete less than a week.
Job was perfect, can’t tell repair from original work. Hard to find a small job contractor that knows what he is doing, thank you A & A.

Parging Inside Garage Foundation & Brick Replacement
Another great experience from my go-to masonry company. In April I noticed a white material on inside the garage on the foundation and I was worried that it would compromise the integrity of the foundation.
Greg and Joe informed me that it was efflorescence. Joe used hydraulic cement to parge one whole side and and the portion of the other side that was affected and educated me on the product he used and why it will help with the issue. He also replaced a few cracked bricks in my garage centre column and pointed them as well.
In addition he caulked my side door to prevent water from getting in behind the bricks so that it doesn’t lead to further issues in the garage.
As on past projects, he was personable, professional, and very thorough. His work is of the highest quality and it just makes me feel so good that I can call A&A whenever I have any masonry issues or projects and know what results I’m going to get.

FAQs
FAQs About Concrete Replacement in Toronto
Do I need a permit to replace my concrete in Toronto?
It depends on the scope. Replacing a driveway or changing the grade might need a permit. The City of Toronto’s permit page has full details based on property type and project size.
How much does concrete replacement cost in Toronto?
It depends on what you’re replacing and how big the job is. According to HomeStars, the average cost for concrete work in Toronto is around $8,555, with projects ranging from $100 to over $50,000. Decorative work runs slightly lower on average at $5,642, but that depends on the finish and design.
How long does the replacement take?
A typical job takes 2 to 5 days from demo to final clean-up. Curing time comes after that, but you’ll usually be able to walk on it after 2 days and drive over it within a week.
Can I just patch the damage instead of replacing the whole thing?
Sometimes. If the surface damage is minor and the base is stable, we’ll let you know. But if the cracks go deep or the slab has sunk, patching will only delay a full replacement.
What kind of concrete do you use?
We use ready-mix concrete tailored to the surface and usage. Driveways and garage floors get higher PSI mixes than patios or walkways. We also consider freeze-thaw performance, especially for exposed areas.
Is stair replacement different from other types of concrete work?
Yes. Replacing concrete stairs often means forming and pouring each step carefully, especially if the stairs connect to a porch or foundation wall. It’s more detailed than a flat slab and needs reinforcement to meet safety standards.
Can you replace a wood foundation with concrete?
In some cases, yes, but it’s a much bigger structural job. Replacing a wood foundation with concrete involves excavation, structural review, and permitting. It’s not part of regular surface replacement, but we can refer you to contractors who do that level of work.
Do you handle garage floor or concrete floor replacement?
We do. Garage floors take more stress, so we use higher PSI mixes and proper base compaction to make sure they hold up under weight. For indoor or shed slabs, we also check moisture and vapor barriers before pouring.
Do you offer porch and front step replacement?
Yes, we handle concrete porch replacement and front step rebuilds across Toronto. We remove the old structure, prepare the base, and form new concrete to match your home’s layout.
