Patios offer a wonderful place to unwind at night. They set the stage for Orange County holiday get-togethers and weekend parties. Give your family and friends a safe area to walk, dance, and celebrate on your patio. If your patio and balcony concrete show signs of aging, don’t replace that deck. Resurface it! Concrete resurfacing provides an economical solution for updating patios and balconies that are stained, cracked, or otherwise damaged. Resurfacing gives older patios and balconies a new look and concrete resurfacing also provides a beautiful and comfortable walking surface.
Concrete resurfacing emulates many looks
Causes of Cracked Concrete
There are several causes of cracks in concrete. The following are some of the most typical causes of cracks in a concrete patio or balcony:
- Faulty installation
- Issues pertaining to the concrete mixture
- Inadequate site preparation prior to pouring the concrete
- Tree roots in the area
Crank Waterproofing Decking and Roofing determines the problem of the cracked concrete, makes repairs, and ensures the new concrete surface will be smooth before undertaking the decorative part of the resurfacing process.
Concrete Resurfacing for Balconies and Walkways
In Orange County, the average balcony is smaller than the average patio or deck square footage. Because balconies directly attach to the building, they are visible from the interior of the home. This requires extra care to ensure the repaired and resurfaced concrete on the exterior still coordinates with the interior. In addition, they must meet additional building requirements.
In California, balconies are considered exterior elevated elements (EEEs) and are covered by a more stringent California building code. The additional code requirements came into play after the infamous Berkley balcony collapse. The deaths caused by the collapse resulted in major changes to the California code.
Crank Waterproofing Decking and Roofing resurfaces concrete balconies to provide a new, fresh walking surface while maintaining the structural integrity of the balcony.
Waterproofing also protects balconies from moisture damage that leads to structural failure.
The resurfaced patio exhibits a smooth fresh vibrant surface. The color choices are many and texture variations are an option as well.
