Concrete Resurfacing
Why Choose Us to Resurface Your Concrete
Choosing us to resurface your concrete means transforming your worn surface into a beautiful, durable, and functional asset using advanced methods like overlays and microtoppings. Unlike the costly and time-consuming process of replacement, our overlays provide a new, thin layer of concrete that can be colored, stamped, textured or polished to achieve high-end finishes that complement your style. For added practicality and a custom look, a broom finish can be applied to create a slip-resistant texture, which is perfect for driveways, patios, and garages.
What Are the Benefits of Resurfacing Your Concrete Instead of Replacing It?
Cost-effective
Resurfacing is significantly cheaper than demolition and replacement because it requires fewer materials and less labor.
Faster project timeline
The process is much faster, with simpler overlays and micro-toppings often completed in a few days, whereas full replacement is a longer, more intensive project.
Addresses cosmetic and minor issues
Overlays can effectively hide minor cracks, stains, and surface damage, giving the concrete a new, fresh appearance without removing the old surface.
Creates a more durable surface
A new overlay adds a protective layer that can strengthen the concrete, improve its resistance to wear and tear, and protect against moisture, which helps prevent future damage.
Enhances safety
Techniques like applying a broom finish create a slip-resistant surface, which is a significant safety benefit, especially for driveways or patios.
Offers high customization
You can achieve a wide variety of looks with overlays, from custom colors to decorative textures that mimic stone or other high-end finishes.
Reduced environmental impact
Resurfacing is a more environmentally friendly option because it diverts waste from landfills and avoids the energy-intensive process of producing entirely new concrete.
Resurfacing Systems We Offer
Broom Finish
A broom finish overlay on concrete is a process of applying a thin, cementitious overlay to an existing surface and then dragging a broom across it to create a durable, textured, and slip-resistant finish. This method is used to repair and resurface worn, cracked, or damaged concrete driveways, patios, and sidewalks, providing a "like-new" appearance without the cost of a full replacement. The texture is created by the parallel grooves left by the broom bristles, which can range from light to heavy depending on the broom and the technique used.
Troweled or Stamped Overlay
A concrete overlay is a thin layer of material applied over existing concrete for repair or decoration. A trowel overlay uses a trowel to create a smooth or textured finish, while a stamped overlay uses stamps to imprint patterns that mimic other materials like stone or brick. Stamped overlays are applied when the overlay material is still wet, using a system of pre-formed molds pressed into the surface to create a decorative design.
Polishable Overlay
A polishable overlay is a cementitious self leveling product applied over an existing concrete floor to create a fresh, decorative, and high-performance surface without the need for full replacement. After curing, this overlay is either polished as is or mechanically ground and polished with progressively finer diamond abrasives to expose the aggregate and achieve a smooth, glossy finish that can resemble natural stone or be customized with various colors and aggregates. It's a versatile solution for both repairing worn concrete and achieving a modern, low-maintenance floor in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.
