Default Garage Pad Concrete Repair

Below is a link to a picture of the edge of my garage pad - as you can see there are some nice cracks developing and I was wondering what the suggested repair route might be. I am assuming that anything I do will likely be temporary.

If it matters, the portion of the pad that is cracking is outside of the garage door and exposed to the elements 24/7/365.

I would likely consider burnig it with fire, but given it is concrete, I would likely be no further ahead in the end....

Give Duratech Coatings a call. They can do your entire garage floor plus repair the crack, or else give you advice if you don't wish to coat the entire floor

Thanks Stampedered - I contacted Duratech by using the contact us e-mail feature on their website. I'd imagine the cost of this will be more than I am currently willing to pay. at teh same time I wonder if I was to coat my garage floor with something if it will cause a bit of a headache later one should I wish to go the duratech route.

just to close the loop on this (in case anyone ever searches) - duratech idicated they could fix my issue and that t atypical treatment ranges between $2,500 and $3,500.

this si more than I am interested in investing right now, so I am going to attempt to fix the issue on my own and then buy the sealer/paint at home depot......i expect that my fix will last two or so years.....
