What is concrete resurfacing? How does it work? Does it last? The preceding questions are common to most of the conversations I have with persons, very much like you, who are somewhat aware of the catapulting popularity of decorative concrete resurfacing.

   - What is it? Concrete resurfacing is the application of a thin layer of cement and sand, mixed with water and acrylic polymer.

   - How does it work? The addition of polymers to traditional cement mixes defies the traditional concrete application standards. It can be applied thin, it bonds tenaciously to a variety of surfaces, reacts extremely well with water to facilitate the finish texture, and once cured is harder then most concrete.

   - Does it last? Hang on to your hats folks, the practice of resurfacing is over 20 years old! A correctly applied resurfacing texture will last as long as the substrate it is applied to. Today, there are hundreds of driveways, pool decks, patios, as well as countless square feet of commercial and industrial flooring that has been resurfaced with documented longevity of 20 years or more.

   - What does this mean to me? As a homeowner it means CHOICES! You now have the choice to resurface your cracked or badly spalled driveway; you have the choice to cure the badly stained pool deck and patio in your back yard; you have the ability to beautify your residence with affordable solutions that once were reserved for the few. The ability to opt between tearing out and redo versus resurfacing solutions is a CHOICE you are now able to make.

Most overlays are from 1/16" to 3/8" total thickness. The range of applications range from sprayed or squeegee applied cement coatings, which are most often finished as a Broom or Trowel Knockdown texture, to 1/4" stamping overlays. Today, with new technological advancements, it is also possible to apply a colored micro-thin polymer modified decorative cement coating to any concrete surface, giving the ability to create custom logos, stenciled borders, and incredible modellos.
