Your Local Affordable Professional Concrete Contractor in Burlington NC and The Triads
Concrete can remain functional long after it stops looking its best.
Years of weather, traffic, staining, surface wear, and everyday use can leave an otherwise usable patio, driveway, walkway, or other concrete surface looking old and tired.
That’s where concrete resurfacing may be worth considering.
Resurfacing involves preparing the existing concrete and applying a new surface layer designed for the particular application.
Rather than automatically removing the existing slab, resurfacing allows homeowners to improve the appearance and usability of suitable concrete that still has a solid foundation.

A successful resurfacing project starts with the existing concrete.
The surface needs to be evaluated before deciding whether resurfacing is appropriate.
Preparation may involve cleaning the surface, addressing suitable repairs, preparing areas of damage, and creating the proper surface for the resurfacing material.
The specific resurfacing system and finish depend on the project.
That’s important because a driveway, patio, walkway, and garage floor don’t necessarily require the same product or finishing approach.
Your existing concrete may be worth evaluating for resurfacing if:
An inspection is important because appearance alone doesn’t tell you what’s happening underneath the surface.
Resurfacing shouldn’t be used as a shortcut for major structural problems.
If the existing concrete has severe movement, significant settlement, extensive cracking, or problems with the underlying base, putting a new surface over it may not solve the actual problem.
This is one of the reasons homeowners should be cautious about contractors who promise that resurfacing can fix everything.
A good evaluation should determine whether the existing concrete is a reasonable candidate before recommending the service.
The decision often comes down to the condition of the existing concrete.
Resurfacing may be appropriate when the existing slab is stable and the primary concerns are appearance and surface condition.
Replacement may be appropriate when the underlying concrete or base has significant problems.
Resurfacing can potentially reduce demolition and material removal while giving an existing surface a new appearance. Replacement provides an opportunity to address the underlying structure when the existing slab has failed.
Neither option is automatically better.
The right choice depends on the property, the existing concrete, the intended use, and the condition of the surface.
Concrete repair is a broad term for addressing problems with an existing surface. Depending on the condition of the concrete, the appropriate solution may be resurfacing, coating, or completely removing and replacing the existing concrete.

It can be, depending on the condition and size of the existing surface. However, resurfacing isn’t always appropriate. A contractor should evaluate the existing concrete before determining which option makes sense.
Some existing concrete surfaces are good candidates for coatings. The concrete generally needs to be sufficiently sound and properly prepared before the coating is applied.
It depends on the condition of the driveway. If the concrete has significant cracking, deterioration, movement, or structural problems, replacement may be more appropriate than attempting to restore the surface.
