Material	Cost/Unit	Pros	Cons	Best For
Concrete Crack Filler	$3-$8 per linear ft (installed)	Fast, inexpensive, can be DIY'd on small cracks, no cure time issues	Won't fix structural movement or root heaving — cracks often return if the root cause isn't addressed	Hairline cracks, surface spalling, and minor cosmetic repairs on stable slabsFast, inexpensive, can be DIY'd on small cracks, no cure time issues
Concrete Resurfacing Compound	$3-$10 per sq ft (installed)	Refreshes worn or spalled surfaces, much cheaper than replacement, good for large flat areas	Requires a solid base slab — won't bridge cracks wider than 1/4 inch, bond can fail if surface isn't properly prepared	Slabs that are structurally sound but look worn, pitted, or have widespread surface spallingRefreshes worn or spalled surfaces, much cheaper than replacement, good for large flat areas
Mudjacking / Slabjacking Grout	$3-$6 per sq ft	Lifts and levels sunken slabs without replacement, less disruptive than tearing out concrete, uses existing slab	Grout can erode over time, doesn't work if the slab itself is cracked beyond repair, heavier process than foam	Sunken or tilted sidewalk sections where the concrete itself is intact but the base has settledLifts and levels sunken slabs without replacement, less disruptive than tearing out concrete, uses existing slab
