ABOUT US
Colorado's concrete repair experts since 1994.
Concrete Doctor is a family-owned business based in Lakewood, Colorado — built on a repair-first philosophy and 30+ years of Front Range concrete experience.
Our Story
Since 1994, Concrete Doctor has been restoring and protecting concrete across the Denver metro and Front Range. What started as a local concrete repair operation in Lakewood, Colorado has grown into a trusted name for residential homeowners, commercial property managers, and industrial facilities alike.
Founded in 1994 by Ron and Christine Tapler, Concrete Doctor was built on a straightforward principle: repair first, replace only when necessary. Under new ownership since 2024, the company has kept that philosophy at the center of everything it does. Concrete is a long-term investment — the right repair or coating system extends its life significantly and costs far less than a full replacement. That belief drives every estimate we give and every project we take on.
Colorado’s climate is hard on concrete. Freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and de-icing salts create unique challenges that generic contractors often underestimate. Our Front Range experience means we understand what products, systems, and preparation methods actually hold up here — year after year.
OWNERSHIP
Family-Owned, Owner-Operated
Under New Ownership
Owner-Operated · Since 2024
Concrete Doctor changed hands in 2024 and remains locally owned and owner-operated. The same repair-first standards and commitment to honest work carry forward — when you call, you’re working directly with the people who run the business, not a franchise or a call center, on everything from residential garage floors to large commercial and industrial projects.
Ron & Christine Tapler
Founders · Est. 1994
Ron and Christine Tapler founded Concrete Doctor in Lakewood in 1994 and spent three decades building its reputation for honest, repair-first concrete work across the Front Range — the foundation the company still stands on today.
Westcoat Authorized Partner
Concrete Doctor is an authorized Westcoat partner, giving us access to professional-grade coating systems and technical support that most contractors can’t offer. Westcoat products are formulated for performance in demanding environments — the kind Colorado delivers.
Lakewood, CO — Serving the Front Range
Based in Lakewood, we serve the greater Denver metro area and the Front Range corridor — including Denver, Aurora, Littleton, Englewood, Westminster, Arvada, Boulder, and surrounding communities.
Repair First
Our default recommendation is always repair over replacement. We evaluate the actual condition of your concrete and give you an honest assessment — not the option that generates the highest invoice.
How We Work
Repair First
We assess every project honestly. If repair is the right call — and it usually is — that’s what we recommend, even when replacement would be a bigger job.
Front Range Expertise
30+ years of Colorado experience means we know which systems hold up through freeze-thaw cycles, high UV, and de-icer exposure — and which ones don’t.
Owner Accountability
Family-owned and owner-operated means someone stands behind every job. You’re not dealing with a franchise or a call center — you’re working directly with the people who run the business.
