Is concrete resurfacing a good idea?

Yes, resurfacing concrete is often a smart choice when the surface is worn, cracked, or discolored but the foundation is still structurally sound. Instead of tearing out and replacing the slab, resurfacing gives it a fresh, durable layer that restores strength and appearance. It’s cost-effective, faster, and far less disruptive than replacement, making it a good option for driveways, patios, garages, and basements.

The cost of resurfacing a concrete slab depends on the size of the area, the materials used, and how much preparation is required. On average, most projects fall between $3 and $10 per square foot. Small cracks or light wear are on the lower end, while heavily damaged surfaces needing extra prep work cost more. We always provide clear, upfront quotes so you know exactly what to expect.

Concrete resurfacing is possible as a DIY project, but results vary depending on skill and preparation. The surface must be cleaned, repaired, and primed properly, or the new layer may fail. Many homeowners find it’s harder than it looks, especially for larger driveways or patios. Hiring a professional ensures the resurfacer bonds correctly and delivers a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Yes, concrete can be refaced by applying a resurfacing product that covers the old surface with a new top layer. This process hides cracks, stains, and wear while improving durability. Unlike replacement, refacing uses the existing slab as a base, which saves time and money. The result is a surface that looks brand new and performs like it’s freshly poured.

A properly applied resurfacer can last 10 to 20 years depending on the environment, usage, and maintenance. Driveways exposed to heavy traffic and harsh weather may wear faster, while indoor or lightly used areas can last much longer. Regular cleaning, sealing, and avoiding harsh chemicals will extend the life of the resurfaced concrete.

The best material for resurfacing is a polymer-modified concrete overlay. These products are designed to bond tightly to existing concrete and provide strength, flexibility, and resistance to cracking. They’re also versatile, allowing for decorative finishes, stamped textures, or a simple smooth surface depending on the look you want.

Absolutely. Outdoor concrete like driveways, patios, and walkways can be resurfaced as long as the slab is stable and free of major structural damage. The resurfacer is formulated to withstand temperature swings, moisture, and foot or vehicle traffic. Proper preparation and sealing are key to ensuring the new surface holds up in outdoor conditions.

The best time to resurface a driveway is during mild weather, typically in spring or fall. Temperatures between 50°F and 80°F are ideal because the resurfacer cures evenly without freezing or drying too quickly. Extreme heat, heavy rain, or winter conditions can compromise the finish, so we always recommend planning around stable weather.

Old concrete can be made to look brand new by cleaning, repairing cracks, and applying a resurfacing overlay. Once the fresh layer is in place, options like staining, stamping, or sealing can give it a polished and modern finish. With professional resurfacing, even concrete that looks decades old can be restored to a clean, strong, and attractive surface.
