Before & After Photos

This El Cajon homeowner wanted to refresh and protect their worn concrete driveway that had begun to settle and crack over time. Saber Foundation Repair used PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the sunken concrete slabs, NexusPro® to seal the joints and cracks for long-lasting flexibility, and DecoShield™ to add a beautiful protective finish that resists UV damage and stains.

The result is a smooth, level driveway that looks brand-new — and it’s now permanently protected from the harsh Southern California sun and moisture.

If your concrete driveway in El Cajon or San Diego County is cracked, uneven, or discolored, Saber can restore it quickly and permanently using the same proven solutions!

Our crew at Saber Foundation Repair prepped this El Cajon driveway for a DecoShield concrete coating. The surface was cleaned, joints were sealed with NexusPro®, and all edges were carefully masked off to ensure a precise, even application. This step is key to achieving a smooth, durable finish that enhances both protection and curb appeal. Here’s the finished result — a beautifully rejuvenated concrete driveway protected with DecoShield™. The deep tone not only improves curb appeal but also shields the surface from UV damage, water, and stains. Combined with PolyLevel® and NexusPro®, this driveway is now lifted, sealed, and sealed in style.

The before photo shows a crawl space with unsupported posts. Because the posts are unsupported the floor is starting to gas as the posts shift with time and seismic activity. In the after photo, we installed post caps to ensure the posts stay in place and can be more stable during a seismic event.

The homeowner’s porch was uneven, causing water to pool against the foundation. This issue led to concerns about potential damage and required immediate attention.

Saber Foundation Repair addressed the problem by:

1. Stabilizing the Concrete: PolyLevel® foam injection was used to lift and level the porch.
2. Protecting the Concrete: NexusPro® joint sealant was applied to prevent water infiltration.
3. Tinting the Concrete: DecoShield™ was used to enhance the appearance and protect the surface.

The porch and driveway were effectively stabilized and leveled. The DecoShield™ tint provided both aesthetic appeal and added protection, ensuring the homeowner's property is now both visually appealing and safeguarded against future water damage.

The homeowner had lived in her 1920s Los Angeles home for over 20 years, but shortly after moving in, she noticed problems—sticking doors, windows that wouldn't open, and bouncy floors. Over time, these issues worsened as the home’s foundation began to fail due to aging wooden posts in the crawlspace.

To restore stability, we replaced the deteriorating 4x4 wood posts with new ones, installed a metal supplemental beam, and added SmartJack® adjustable supports to lift and secure the sagging floors. These adjustments provided the reinforcement her home desperately needed.

With the new supports in place, the homeowner’s floors are now level and solid, and her doors and windows operate smoothly once again. The SmartJack® system and structural repairs ensured long-term stability, giving the homeowner peace of mind.
