Spall Repair · Coastal Concrete
Concrete spall repair that exposes and treats the rebar, rebuilds the surface, then seals it with a coating designed for coastal exposure.
In every spall / concrete repair project
Every project follows the same baseline. Specific products and quantities are confirmed after the walkthrough.
Corroded rebar exposed, cleaned, and rust-inhibitor-treated
Concrete rebuilt with polymer-modified patch
Surface profile primed for coating
Protective marine-grade coating on top
Documented photos through the repair
Process
Final scope, products, and schedule are confirmed after the walkthrough.
Sound the concrete for hollow areas, map spalling locations, quote the repair scope.
Chip out loose and hollow concrete to expose sound material and rebar.
Wire-brush rust off rebar and apply corrosion-inhibiting primer. Replace rebar sections where corrosion is severe.
Bonding agent + polymer-modified patch material built up in lifts. Screed and float to profile.
Cure to spec. Grind or profile the surface for coating adhesion.
Apply marine-grade coating system to the entire surface, not just the repair, so it looks and performs uniformly.

System options
The right coating depends on the substrate and exposure. The coating system for your property is confirmed after the walkthrough.
Small isolated spalls without full-surface deterioration.
Lanais and balconies with widespread hairline and spot spalling.
Elevated lanais over living space where waterproofing is critical.
Spall / Concrete Repair FAQ
Not for long. The rebar keeps expanding, and the new patch tends to fail. Treating the rebar is what gives the repair a durable base.
Look for rust-colored streaks, hollow-sounding spots, or flaking around edges and where columns meet the deck. On coastal Kaneohe, Kailua, and Hawaii Kai homes, it's extremely common.
Almost never. Even severe-looking spalling is usually surface-level and repairable. We'll walk it with you before recommending anything major.
