What is the difference between control joints and expansion joints?

Control joints are cuts that guide small cracks in a straight line. Expansion joints are soft gaps that let slabs expand against fixed objects without damage. Many projects need both.

How far apart should joints be?

Panel size depends on slab thickness and layout. A common rule is two to three times the slab thickness in feet. We set spacing based on your slab and traffic.

Do joints stop all cracks?

No, but they control where cracks go. Proper base prep, reinforcement, and curing also help reduce random cracking.

How often should I reseal joints?

High sun and traffic wear sealant faster. Many homes benefit from resealing every two to three years. We include a simple care plan for your slab.

Can you fix chipped joint edges?

Yes. We patch spalled areas, reset the joint, and add sealant so the repair lasts.
