COMMERCIAL
CONCRETE REPAIR
IN SHERMAN, TX.
Sherman's commercial building stock averages over 40 years old — concrete placed before modern admixtures, slab designs, and rebar protection standards. As Texas Instruments' $30B semiconductor campus draws new tenants and investment to Grayson County, older buildings on US-82, Travis Street, and the downtown historic district must compete in a market where structural concrete condition is no longer a deferrable maintenance item.
What Commercial Concrete Repair Includes
Comprehensive concrete restoration for commercial facilities — from surface spalls to full structural rehabilitation.
Spall & Delamination Repair
Spalling and delamination in Sherman's older commercial stock often indicate decades of moisture infiltration through failed sealants and carbonated concrete cover. We saw-cut to sound material, treat corroded rebar with zinc-rich primer, and place polymer-modified repair mortars engineered for bond to aged substrates.
For buildings along Heritage Row Historical District, the Paul Brown U.S. Courthouse corridor, and the Sherman Museum campus, we select repair materials that match historic profiles and meet preservation standards.
Crack Injection & Sealing
Structural cracks in Sherman's commercial buildings — often caused by Grayson County's expansive clay soils and decades of freeze-thaw cycling — receive low-viscosity epoxy injection under controlled pressure to restore monolithic integrity and block moisture entry.
Non-structural cracks and control joint failures receive flexible polyurethane or hybrid sealant fills that accommodate seasonal movement. Sherman's severe weather corridor — 41 hail reports and 83 severe weather warnings in the past 12 months — makes maintaining sealed concrete surfaces an annual priority.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlay
Worn and scaling concrete surfaces on parking decks, loading docks, and entry areas can be restored with polymer-modified overlays that bond to the existing slab and provide a durable wear surface without full replacement — a significant cost saving for Sherman building owners managing large industrial footprints at Progress Park and Midway Industrial Park.
For institutional properties including Austin College's $83M economic impact campus and Wilson N. Jones Regional Medical Center's 237-bed facility, resurfacing extends infrastructure life while maintaining the operational continuity those campuses require.
Structural Strengthening
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite systems restore or enhance structural capacity in beams, columns, and slabs where load requirements have increased or original construction was deficient. FRP strengthening delivers structural upgrades with minimal operational disruption — critical for Sherman's occupied medical, industrial, and institutional facilities.
For Progress Park's 3,300-acre master-planned industrial campus — which targets manufacturing, data centers, and R&D tenants — FRP strengthening enables load upgrades that keep existing structures competitive with new construction entering the market.

Why Sherman Buildings Need Concrete Repair Now
Sherman's median commercial building dates to 1980 — meaning a significant portion of the US-82 corridor, downtown historic district, and industrial parks were built when concrete mixes, rebar cover requirements, and sealant standards were less rigorous than today. That building stock has had 40+ years of exposure to Grayson County's expansive clay soils, hard-freeze winters, and severe hail.
Texas Instruments' $30 billion, four-factory semiconductor campus — which began production at SM1 in late 2025 — is driving the largest commercial development surge in Grayson County history. Existing buildings compete for workforce housing, service tenants, and supply chain businesses against brand-new construction. Concrete condition has moved from a long-term capital item to an immediate competitive factor.
Located just 16 miles from our Whitesboro headquarters, Sherman is in our core service territory. We've worked on commercial buildings across Grayson County and understand the specific concrete challenges that aging stock in a severe-weather corridor presents.

Commercial Concrete Repair FAQ
What causes concrete spalling on commercial buildings?
Spalling occurs when moisture penetrates concrete, corrodes embedded rebar, and causes expanding rust to fracture the surface layer. In Sherman, where the median commercial building dates to 1980 and many structures in the downtown core and US-82 corridor are from the 1940s–1960s, original concrete has had decades of exposure to Grayson County's expansive clay soils and North Texas freeze-thaw cycles. Sherman has also had 41 hail reports and 83 severe weather warnings in the past 12 months — impact damage accelerates spalling on already-stressed concrete.
How do you repair structural concrete on a parking garage?
Structural parking garage repair begins with sounding surveys to map delaminated areas, followed by saw-cutting, full-depth removal of compromised concrete, rebar treatment with zinc-rich primer, and polymer-modified mortar placement restoring structural cross-section. For Sherman's commercial facilities near Progress Park, Midway Industrial Park, and the downtown historic district, we sequence repairs in phases to keep structures accessible and operational. Our boom trucks — 56' and 72' — provide overhead access without scaffold enclosures that would block building entries.
What is the difference between concrete patching and structural concrete repair?
Concrete patching is cosmetic — filling surface voids with repair mortar. Structural concrete repair removes all deteriorated and chloride-contaminated material to a specified depth, treats reinforcing steel corrosion, and restores load-carrying capacity using engineered repair systems with documented strength and bond characteristics. For Sherman's older commercial building stock — where original construction predates modern concrete standards — structural repair is typically required, not optional.
Can concrete repairs be done in phases to keep the building operational?
Yes — phased repair is standard practice for occupied commercial buildings and is essential in Sherman's active commercial environment across Travis Street, US-82, and Progress Park. We develop repair sequences that prioritize highest-risk areas first, establish clear safety perimeters, and schedule disruptive work to minimize operational impact. The $35 billion semiconductor investment bringing new construction to Sherman means existing buildings must remain tenant-ready throughout any repair program.
What does commercial concrete repair cost per square foot?
Costs vary based on deterioration depth and access conditions: shallow spall patching typically runs $15–$35 per square foot; full-depth structural repair ranges $50–$120 per square foot. For Sherman's older building stock — where 40+ years of deferred maintenance on concrete is common — early assessment and phased repair is almost always less expensive than emergency structural intervention. We provide itemized unit-price proposals so building owners can budget multi-year repair programs.
