The center slab is pretty thrashed and has some failing previous repairs. A couple of other slabs have more minor damage. At the very least, I'm interested in removing and repouring the center slab, but a contractor recommended against doing anything less than a full demo/replacement of the whole patio based on foundation/structural reasons.
Beyond aesthetic reasons, is this advice legit or just an upsell? If I need to do the whole thing and not just one or two slabs, I might consider pavers instead of concrete, but any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
You could always get a second or third opinion, but there's a decent chance you'd want to do it all at once.
If you want a short term solution while you wait to redo the whole thing. Then you could always get something like these outdoor tiles.
They would provide a decent look and still cover your patio until you're ready to replace the whole thing.
I'm sure it depends on where you live, but in my area, those outdoor tiles last about a year, maybe two. Mine are growing mushrooms and maple seedlings as we speak. Time for a replacement. To be fair, it is very damp here.
