Step 1: Request An Estimate
The process starts when you contact Raise-Rite about your sinking, uneven, cracked, or settled concrete.
You may be dealing with a sinking driveway, uneven sidewalk, settled steps, a garage floor that dropped, a patio that holds water, or a walkway trip hazard. Whatever the issue is, our team will review your request and let you know what to expect next.
In most cases, we tell customers that an estimator will stop by within 7–10 business days.
Step 2: We Stop By
Some customers prefer to schedule a set appointment. Others do not need to be home for the estimate.
If an appointment is requested, our office will contact you to schedule a time that works.
If no appointment is needed, the estimator will stop by when they are in the area. When they arrive, they will knock on the door to let anyone home know they are on the property.
This makes the process easier for busy homeowners. You do not always need to take time off work, rearrange your day, or block off part of your day for a long sales visit.
Step 3: Measure & Evaluate
Once on-site, the estimator will review the concrete area that needs repair.
They will measure the area, evaluate how many sections of concrete are involved, and determine what is needed to fix the issue properly.
If needed, they will also check the grade to make sure proper pitch can be achieved. This matters because concrete lifting is not just about making the surface look better. It is also about helping water move the right way, reducing trip hazards, and improving the function of the area.
During this step, the estimator may look at:
- How much the concrete has settled
- How many sections need repair
- Whether lifting is the right solution
- Whether proper drainage or pitch can be restored
- What repair approach makes the most sense
Our goal is to give you a fair and accurate estimate based on the actual work needed.
Step 4: Get Your Quote
After the estimator finishes evaluating the project, you will receive your estimate by email and a text message link to your customer portal, where you can review the quote online.
Most estimates are sent within 24 hours. Many are sent as soon as the estimator finishes evaluating the project.
That means you can review everything on your own time, ask questions if needed, and decide what makes the most sense for your property.
Why Our Estimate Process Is Different
Many concrete repair companies require long appointments and high-pressure sales visits. Some estimates can take up to two hours. Others try to push customers into making a decision right away.
That is not how Raise-Rite works.
Our estimate process is built to be simple, fast, and low pressure.
Here is what makes it different:
- Most estimates take about 15 minutes on-site
- You do not always need to be home
- We offer no-hassle, no-pressure estimates
- Quotes are sent by email and text
- You can review everything in your customer portal
- We do not use “sign on the spot” discounts
- We respect your time and give you clear information
No Pressure. No Hassle. No Games.
A Raise-Rite estimate is meant to help you understand the problem and the repair options.
It is not a long sales presentation. We show up, review the project, measure what needs to be fixed, and send you a clear quote. No pressure. No gimmicks. No wasted time.
If the project is a good fit for concrete lifting, we will explain what can be done. If there are limits to what lifting can fix, we will be honest about that too.
Our job is to help you make the right decision for your property.
What Happens After You Approve The Estimate?
Once you review and approve your estimate, our team will help move the project forward.
The next steps may include scheduling the work, answering any final questions, and preparing you for what to expect on the day of the repair.
Most concrete lifting projects are completed with a clean, simple process:
- Small access holes are drilled into the concrete.
- Polyurethane foam or lifting material is placed below the slab.
- The slab is raised and supported from below.
- The holes are patched.
- The area is cleaned up.
In many cases, the concrete can be used again the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home for my concrete estimate?
Not always. If you do not request an appointment, an estimator may stop by when they are in the area. They will knock on the door to let anyone home know they are on the property. If you prefer to meet with someone directly, our office can reach out to schedule an appointment.
How long does a Raise-Rite estimate usually take?
Most estimates only take about 15 minutes on-site. The estimator will review the concrete, measure the area, check the grade if needed, and evaluate what sections need to be repaired. This helps keep the process simple and convenient.
How soon will I receive my estimate?
Most estimates are sent within 24 hours. Many are sent as soon as the estimator finishes evaluating the project. You will receive the estimate by email and text message, along with a link to your customer portal.
Will I be pressured to sign right away?
No. Raise-Rite does not use high-pressure sales tactics or “sign on the spot” discounts. You can review your estimate, ask questions, and decide when you are ready.
What does the estimator look at during the visit?
The estimator will measure the concrete, review how many sections need to be fixed, look at the settlement, and check the grade if needed. This helps determine whether proper pitch can be achieved and what repair approach makes the most sense.
Can I get a virtual estimate?
In some cases, yes. Photos and project details can help us review certain concrete problems. Some projects still require an in-person visit so the estimator can measure the area and check the pitch properly.
What happens after I approve the estimate?
Once you approve the estimate, Raise-Rite will help schedule the work and explain what to expect next. Most concrete lifting jobs use a clean process where small holes are drilled, material is placed below the slab, the concrete is lifted, and the holes are patched.
