Options for Concrete Resurfacing in Orange County

Time marches on concrete decks, patios, and balconies.  So do the elements. When concrete looks tired, freshen it up. Resurfacing the concrete changes the entire look of the deck, patio, or balcony. Keep it looking good with a top coat of  a waterproof deck coating.  It is expensive to replace a deck or patio.  Busting up the old concrete and hauling it off is labor intensive. Plus you must pay to dispose of the old concrete. Those costs add up fast.  Freshen up your old concrete deck, balcony or patio without pouring new concrete. In Orange County, you’ve got options for  concrete resurfacing.

Self Leveling Concrete and Overlay

Fix uneven and broken concrete surfaces with self leveling concrete overlays. Apply an initial layer to create a level surface for further decorative work.  This process levels uneven surfaces and restores integrity lost to damage from the elements.

Apply it in thickness ranging from 1/4″ up to 1″ thick.  Then you add pigments or dyes for a decorative finish. You can even consider the repaired surface a blank canvass and stencil on a new design.

Knock Down or Textured Surfaces

Sometimes you just want a textured finish. Knock down surfaces are skid-resistant and very durable.  Use knock down for pool decks, walkways, and patios. Trowel on the layers and then for a  decorative touch, add pre-colored pigments and dyes to create custom colors.

You can even use grout tape  to create brick and tile looking designs.  Finally, don’t forget a waterproof deck coating to keep that concrete resurfacing job looking good for years.

Stamps and Stencils with Overlays

Use stamps and stencils with your concrete resurfacing and emulate stamped concrete, brick, slate, stone, or almost any other design.  Apply these toppings about 1/4″ to 3/4″ thick.

Pre-colored options are available. But, you can also use colors, pigments, and liquid or powder dyes to craft custom colors.

These concrete toppings are the ultimate in design freedom. That’s because you stencil or stamp the shape or design you want.

This is a great way to get the look of a high maintenance material with the easy care of concrete. Tile, flagstones and brick are beautiful but maintenance is a chore. Concrete resurfacing looks like tile but there’s no grout to scrub and you don’t need to seal it every year.
