#1 Fencing Company in Fort Wayne
Gleave Construction did an amazing job putting in our fence around our pool in our backyard. They were efficient and answered all questions in a very timely manner. The product is of very high quality and their installation was very well done as the fence is very sturdy. We customized our fence with a product that looks like stone pillars…..
Rachel Gerken
We had a new fence installed in our back yard by Gleave construction. The price and product selection was good but what really stood out was the team. They were prompt, courteous and did quality work. More than that, they did what they said they were going to do when they said they’d do it. I really appreciated that and would highly recommend…..

The unique challenges of Fort Wayne, for example the freeze-thaw cycles along with clay soil movement, make it difficult for concrete structures to thrive.

Spalling and Surface Deterioration Repair
Spalling concrete is frequent in Fort Wayne, caused by cycles of freezing and thawing, exposure to de-icing salt, and moisture seepage. We restore concrete surfaces in Fort Wayne’s climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Given the challenging climate in Fort Wayne, with proper workmanship and materials, concrete repairs will last 15-25 years. This is contingent on the repair, materials, and maintenance efforts. In Northeast Indiana, the climate is tough with freeze-thaw cycles, soil movement, and moisture. To counter this, we use high-performance materials—including polymer-modified compounds and epoxy injections—built for Fort Wayne’s climate. This is the reason we provide comprehensive warranties on our repairs, 1-year on labor, and up to 25 years on specific materials.
Yes, in most cases, concrete repairs can be undertaken during winter in Fort Wayne using cold-weather-specific materials and methods. However, some repairs that need to be cured for a long time are better scheduled during warmer months. To ensure proper curing, we use heated enclosures and cold-weather admixtures as necessary. Based on years of experience, our crew will recommend the best time for your specific repair and whether it’s based on the damage, repair urgency, and weather.
No. Based on Fort Wayne’s weather conditions, concrete cracks should be repaired immediately. In the case of concrete cracks, small cracks created will enable water to penetrate and will, in return, make the damage even worse. What could begin as a small crack could escalate to a serious problem in a few cycles. Repairing it when caught in time will always be better and more affordable, rather than waiting to fix it when major damage has already taken place. In case the damage poses safety risks, we provide emergency repair services even if it’s urgent.
Professional repairs analyze and assess damage, prepare the site, choose the right materials, and apply the right methods that will give a lasting solution. DIY repairs usually concentrate on one or at most two issues and that is why they tend to fail within 1-2 years. This is especially true for concrete repair in Fort Wayne. Professional materials, while more expensive, are 10-20 times more economical than store-bought patching compounds since they last a decade or two. Along with those benefits, unprofessional or do-it-yourself repairs tend to cause greater damage than what already exists.
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive warranties on all concrete repair work, including up to 25 years on certain materials and 1 year on all labor. Our warranty coverage varies based on the type of repair and materials used, but we stand behind every project with written warranty documentation. This warranty protection demonstrates our confidence in our work and provides you with long-term peace of mind. Many contractors offer no warranties or very limited coverage, leaving you responsible for any failures.
