Repair, Resurface or Replace?
The right option depends on the condition of the slab underneath. Resurfacing and overlays work well when the base is solid and the problems are on the surface, such as hairline cracks, scaling or fading. Wide or shifting cracks, sunken sections and heavy settling usually point to a base or soil problem, and those areas may need sections replaced instead. North Texas clay soils expand and shrink with moisture, so an on site look at the slab is the best way to choose the right fix.
How the Process Works
- Assessment: the concrete is inspected for crack width, movement, drainage and surface condition.
- Preparation: the surface is cleaned and damaged material is removed so repairs bond properly.
- Repair: cracks and damaged areas are filled and patched.
- Resurfacing or overlay: a new surface layer or decorative overlay is applied when needed.
- Sealing and cure time: the finished surface is sealed and left to cure before regular use.
Concrete Repair FAQ
Can cracked concrete be resurfaced?
Yes, when the cracks are small and the slab is stable. Cracks are repaired first, then the resurfacing layer is applied over the whole area for an even finish. Cracks caused by ongoing movement can reappear, so those areas are evaluated before resurfacing.
What is a concrete overlay?
An overlay is a thin layer of polymer modified cement applied over existing concrete. It can be smooth, stamped or textured and colored to change the look of a patio, driveway or walkway without pouring a new slab.
Is resurfacing cheaper than replacing concrete?
Resurfacing usually involves less demolition and material than a full replacement, which often makes it the more affordable option when the base is sound. The best way to compare is a free quote for both options on your project.
