Concrete resurfacing applies a thin polymer-modified overlay (1/8 to 1/4 inch) over existing structurally sound concrete to restore appearance and extend lifespan. The process includes cleaning, repairing cracks, applying bonding agent, spreading the overlay, and finishing with your choice of texture or decorative pattern. Resurfacing costs a fraction of full replacement and is ideal for driveways, patios, pool decks, and garage floors with cosmetic damage but sound structure.

Apply overlays when temperatures are between 50–90 °F. Sacramento summers may require early-morning applications to prevent rapid curing.

Concrete Resurfacing in Pacific Grove — FAQ

How long does concrete resurfacing last?+

A quality resurfacing job lasts 8–15 years with proper sealing maintenance. Resealing every 2–3 years significantly extends the overlay's lifespan.

Can any concrete surface be resurfaced?+

Only structurally sound concrete can be resurfaced. Slabs with heaving, major settling, or extensive cracking should be replaced rather than resurfaced.

Is resurfacing cheaper than replacement?+

Yes, resurfacing typically costs 30–50% of full removal and replacement, making it an excellent option for surfaces with cosmetic damage only.

Can I add color or patterns to resurfaced concrete?+

Yes. Overlays can be integrally colored, stained, or even stamped with patterns to create a decorative finish.
