I am a cement finisher and have been pouring concrete since 1974. That's a good video however there was a few things I would like to suggest. First of all you should have used the edger before you took off the wood that would give you a nice clean Edge along the top to follow once the wood was off. Also before you took off the wood and you were pouring the concrete you should tap the face of the wood with a hammer. That would have gotten rid of most of the honeycombing. That's what it's called! It was good that you used the sponge at the end and you did a nice job🖒

I would really appreciate if you answer these questions: (1) After the Quikrete quick setting cement is dried, I can see some fresh cracks in the stairs. how can these be fixed? (2) how to use the sealer and how many days one should wait before using the sealer? (3) Is is recommended to use resurfacing cement to smooth out the cemented / concrete area? Kindly advice.

RapidSet CementAll or Mortar Mix along with a bag or two of flow control would be pourable and rock hard in an hour; while RapidSet doesn’t need/require a bonding agent it can be used. I like the pourable flow as it gets into every nook and cranny whereas stiffer concrete mixes and those with larger aggregates can have voids when used as patchers, if not vibrates or settled in. Nice step by step though I’d add rinsing, washing, or spraying water on the concrete both to get the dust off as well as to aid with bonding though that, in part can be mitigated by the bonding agent. For bonding to old concrete I find wetting and a mix in bonding additive gives better results than a paint on style bonding agent; I usually only use paint on bonding agents on painted, sealed, or non-porous existing concrete. There are flow additives which help make concrete flow without adding additional/extra water which can weaken concrete.

Craig, I'm a concrete contractor, and if I were in your shoes I would rent a concrete saw that will cut at least 75% of the depth of the slab, cut it at a right angle off your house, preferably so the existing cuts are all spaced out evenly, snap a chalk line and remove an entire section. Use tap-con screws to fasten a 2x4 to the masonry below having the top flush with the bottom of the small ledge. Then after you establish the height of the slab, fasten a 2x10 to the 2x4. This will be your form with a matching ledge. Then you can simply order one cubic yard of a residential mix with air for exterior use. Pour it wet enough for you and a buddy to handle and screed the concrete immediately with a straight 2x4 and float the surface a few times, then if you have a steel trowel, trowel the surface slick then pull a broom in a straight line if it needs a broom finish, if not, just keep troweling until you have your desired look. * make sure to round over the edges, use any electric tool that will vibrate (I use a square palm sander) and vibrate the edge of your form to reduce "honeycombs" also apply an oil so your forum will come of after pouring. Plus you don't need sealer. I only use that on decorative concrete, or places like a garage where oil will spill and penetrate the concrete surface. That was a long comment... Uhhh, good job guy on video! Stevens Concrete Llc, N. C.

Yeah, me commenting again...The step repair looks amazing. If I wanted to recreate the same surface texture of the other steps what would be the best way to do that? A suggested video I'd love to see would be on repairing a large crack in a garage floor. We have one that runs the length of the garage and the thought (and expense) and jackhammering it all out and repouring the floor is overwhelming.

Thanks redhotsweetpotatoe for your question. I'd have to see the step to figure out the exact method. You could tinker around with different types of cement until you get the exact match. It could be hard to recreate depending on the shape and color. But a worth experiment. I'll have to add your request to my video to-do list. I'm pretty sure I could do a crack repair. Our garage floor is cement and looks super bad for a number of different reasons. I appreciate your feedback :)

Great video! An area about 4 feet long by 12 inches wide of the cement on the entrance to my garage, just outside the overhead door, looks like that step you fixed. A lot of "popcorn" but the damage is not very far below the surface. Your repair method seems applicable to my situation, but I'm wondering if I would need to "excavate" down below the surface and/or perhaps cut a perimeter around the bad section and dig a bunch of the bad stuff out, or if I could just chisel it out a bit and fill and smooth it. Sort of like a thick top coat? Repairs like this seem problematic, especially if you don't have a concrete saw. However, maybe chiseling it out and filling it using your methods and those products could work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards!

A couple of quick thoughts/notes on preparation, etc. Cleaning with a wire brush and then sweeping/vacuuming out as much as possible gets rid of as much loose debris as possible. A masonary bit on a regular drill may work for anyone who doesn't have a hammer drill when drilling for 'Tapcon's' If using a hammer drill (not to be confused with an impact drill/driver), make sure to set the tool to 'drill' and not 'hammer drill' mode before driving screws. (This is for those who don't have a hammer drill or have never used one). For anyone who has not drilled concrete, buying a cheap hammer drill is recomended (or a good quality tool if you plan on using it often). For the thicker/deeper areas, I like to embed some wire mesh (hardware cloth) or even epoxy coated rebar if it is a large/thick/deep area. This will provide better structural integrity to the piece. Note the side of the aggregate (stones) in the original step is pretty large, compared to tha of the product being used. Aggregate gives concrete its structural integrity although these 'patching' products are formulated with various chemicals to make them stronger and more cohesive than 'plain old concrete' (cement, sand, and aggregate).

Good job. I like the idea of tapcon screws. At the 4:23 mark, did you check with the level to ensure the tread had sufficient pitch to allow water runoff?

Thanks, Jeff. Lot's of good advice. Some I had heard before but you added details, like the rounding of the edge, spraying with water for 48 hours and even covering with plastic to keep moisture in. Nice presentation too!

Thanks Scott Hileman Television Guy Scott Hileman - let me know if you have any questions down the road, I'd be happy to help. I'm no cement guru but do enjoy the process.

Much appreciated. I got my my step down to nearly a nub after clearing the decaying material. Got the Tapcon Screws in, coated the existing cement with an adhering formula, cut my form, just in time to get a bit of vertigo. Question. How long can the bonding agent be exposed before it becomes ineffective in attaching old to new cement? Thanks again!

I think Quikrete recommends not more than 48 hours Scott Hileman Television Guy Scott Hileman and to keep the surface clean. Great job prepping the step and getting everything ready. Keep me posted.

Jeff Patterson Okay, well my step is cement step is repaired and looks pretty good, not as yours, but with practice comes better work. Plus when they say "Quick Dry" they mean quick! I found myself have to move faster and faster and using a little extra water. I ran just a little short on materials so I think I'll get one more package of the quick drying cement to smooth out the "rise" of the step, and there were a few extra little spots I want to go over just to enhance the look. Thanks again, I'll post you some pictures I took along the way!

My step is hollow and I have to fix the face, the side. Suggestions? Should I use a mesh? Shoving Crete into the hole doesn’t seem like it will work; it will fall into the hollow space behind it.
