How to Repair Broken Concrete Stairs - Quick and Easy

Hey, THANKS! I'm a single woman and do all the work around the house myself. I appreciate this video and it has given me the confidence to tackle my front steps that are crumbling! Thanks again!

I've been a handyman since 1996 and done some corner repairs like that. You did an excellent job. Not many people go on to show it done right but you did. I like how you're so meticulous in making sure that it comes out looking nice as well. Keep up the good work.

You know you empower those of us who knew nothing about all this! THANK YOU.

Delivered mud for 8 years, glad to see you doing it right on, especially using the glue and the screws as a form of rebar stand in. seen too many people slap it on and wonder why it lasts for only a little while.

I'm Brazilian. I'm learning English and I like watching your Channel. Very good.

I love this channel, It teaches me so much. Things that I can do on my own while saving money. That’s very important to a single Mom😊

Thanks this is exactly what I need to do on my bottom step. Can''t wait to fix mine.

Very beautiful job. I am a single mom and can do projects. You made it very easy and simple. I appreciate your video

Thats the best match I've ever seen...great work.

If you don't have any "glue", you can use a mix of just water and cement. Mix to a consistency of paint and brush it on like you did with the "glue". Works just fine, and has been used in the trade for as long as concrete repairs has been done. And the rougher the old surface is the better. If the surface is too smooth, the new concrete won't bind properly and delaminate. Btw, my dad was tasked to patch the corners on the foundation on my house some years ago. The old man insisted on doing it at around 90°F and in bright sunlight. It didn't take long for the repairs to start flaking off. When covering a repair with plastic to trap the moisture, make sure the plastic doesn't touch the fresh concrete, or you can end up with "zebra stripes" in it.

Nice! I have some concrete on my patio that needs fixed & you showed me what to do (I'd have never thought to add the tapcons & wondered how I'd prevent this from happening again). Thank you!! 🙂

This video was very well done. I like how you clearly showed exactly how to affect the repair including materials needed. Thanks!

The sponge makes all the difference. Great job!

So that turned out fantastic!!! I never would have thought that groove would have looked as original as it does but wow!

One thing you should to demo and prep is pressure washing the area thoughly. It's two fold one it gets all debris out and hydrates the concrete giving a better bond.

Looks great. Incredibly accurate video. I'm glad there are still people out there with integrity and pride in their work👍👍

Who knew fixing concrete stairs could be so riveting? Great job! 😄

I am planning to repair some concrete curbs in my garage and the timing of this video couldn’t have been more perfect for me! I really enjoy the details and explanations you go into.

I thought it was going to come out crappy, but you proved me wrong. It came out 100X better than I would have done, great job.

This was such a helpful video, thank you. I am tackling a similar project this weekend, so watching somebody do it step by step is great for the average DIYer like me.
