Restore cracked, pitted, or stained concrete to like-new condition without a full tear-out.
Tearing out and replacing a concrete slab costs 5–10x more than resurfacing. We grind down the surface, fill all cracks and spalls with a polyurea joint filler, then apply a polymer-modified overlay that bonds permanently to your existing concrete. You can stop there for a clean industrial look, or finish with stain, dye, or a full epoxy system on top.
Tearing out and replacing a concrete slab is expensive — typically $8-$15 per square foot in the Montgomery market — and disruptive enough to take a residential driveway or commercial floor out of service for weeks. Concrete resurfacing is the proven alternative: we grind the existing surface flat, fill all cracks and spalls with structural polyurea, and apply a polymer-modified cementitious overlay that bonds permanently to the underlying slab.
The result is a clean, new concrete surface that looks and performs like a fresh pour — but at roughly 20-30% the cost of replacement and a fraction of the downtime. Resurfacing is ideal for driveways, pool decks, patios, walkways, and aged garage slabs that aren't structurally failing but have become cosmetically unacceptable.
Once the overlay is cured (usually 24 hours), the surface can be stained, dyed, or coated with a full epoxy or polyaspartic system on top. This gives you complete flexibility: stop at the overlay for a clean industrial look, add a colored stain for warmth and character, or go all the way to a high-gloss decorative finish.
Resurfacing requires a structurally sound slab underneath. We do not resurface slabs with major settling, active subsidence, or rebar corrosion — those issues need a foundation specialist before any topical work can succeed. Our free consultation includes a complete structural assessment so you know exactly what your slab needs before committing to a system.
Pricing for resurfacing varies from $3 to $8 per square foot depending on overlay thickness, decorative finish, and existing slab condition. Compare that to $8-$15 per square foot for tear-out and replacement — and a full week of downtime — and the math works for nearly every cosmetic concrete problem we see.
All static cracks, yes — they're filled with structural polyurea before overlay. Active cracks (those that flex with seasonal slab movement) may telegraph through the overlay over time; we identify these during inspection.
Standard overlay is 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Heavier industrial overlays can go up to 3/4 inch where needed for grade correction.
Yes — once fully cured (24-48 hours) the surface handles full vehicle traffic indefinitely.
Permanently, when properly bonded. We've revisited resurfacing jobs 8+ years old that look identical to install day.
Yes — that's the most popular finish path. Stain for warmth, dye for color, or full epoxy/polyaspartic for decorative impact.
Driveways, pool decks, patios, walkways, and aged garage slabs not yet ready for replacement.
