Most people do not know the different options a company that specializes in concrete restoration can do for their spalled, cracked, scaling, or worn and ugly concrete. Resurfacing concrete can transform defective concrete to look brand new with a broom finish, or give the concrete a new texture that resembles brick, tile, slate, and many other options. The textures and colors available for existing concrete are unlimited. Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world, and lots of it needs to be restored, but most concrete is not so damaged that it needs replacing.
How long has concrete resurfacing been around?
Concrete resurfacing has been around since the 50′s to repair concrete bridges. In the 70′s several entrepreneurs started to experiment with colors and different application methods to really launch what we call the decorative concrete industry. In the late 80′s and early 90′s more, polymers were invented and tested allowing concrete to resurfaced from less than 1/8th inch thick all the way to two inches thick.
What concrete can I resurface and how do I know not to resurface, but tear out?
Almost any sound piece of concrete can be resurfaced and repaired. This includes- driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and even interior floors. A good rule of thumb when you cannot or should not repair or resurface your concrete and you should tear out your concrete is if your concrete has quite wide cracks or your concrete has risen or sank to an unacceptable level. No resurfacing material is going to hold your concrete together under these conditions.
