Free, no-obligation estimates
A pitted, flaking or stained slab that is still solid underneath can take a new bonded top layer instead of a tear-out, and we tell you on the first visit whether yours can.

A new face for an old slab
Concrete resurfacing bonds a new cement top layer to a worn but sound slab, and we do it on patios, walks, driveways and floors on residential and commercial property, homes and businesses alike.
The trade calls that layer an "overlay": a polymer-modified cement mix bonded to the old slab, then finished and sealed. It covers "scaling", the pitted, sandy surface de-icing salt leaves behind, and "spalling", where the top chips and flakes away, without breaking out the concrete underneath.
Before we quote an overlay
An overlay suits a slab that is structurally sound with damage only at the surface, because it keeps the old slope and any active crack shows back through it.
So we look at the slab before we talk about finishes. A new top layer is only as good as the concrete it is bonded to, and nothing laid on top changes how the slab under it sits or moves.
Not sure which list your slab belongs on? That is the first thing the free estimate settles.
Resurface it
Fix it first
From bare slab to sealed
An overlay goes on in five steps, and the first three are all preparation: the old slab is cleaned, roughened and primed before any new cement touches it.
The International Concrete Repair Institute publishes the guidelines the trade works to on evaluating worn concrete and preparing its surface.
Oil, dirt and loose material come off first. The pressure washer runs at the right pressure in controlled passes, so it cleans the slab without etching lines into it.
The slab is ground or shot-blasted to the roughness the overlay's thickness calls for. Acid etching is no substitute for that mechanical profile on an outdoor slab.
A primer coat of bonding agent goes onto the freshly prepped surface, so the new layer grips the old one.
The polymer-modified cement overlay is spread and troweled out, and its joints are lined up with the "control joints" in the slab underneath, where the old slab already moves.
The surface gets its finish, textured outdoors for grip, and a sealer goes on over it to close the job.
Before you ask for a number
Concrete resurfacing in Bridgeport typically runs $2 to $2.50 per square foot, and where your slab lands depends on the size of the job, access, the materials and the preparation it needs.
Most of a resurfacing price is the preparation, not the overlay material, so a slab that needs more cleaning, grinding or patching before the first coat costs more than one that is ready for it.

Garage floors and pool decks
Two more worn surfaces a new top layer can renew, and what goes on each.
A garage floor coating is an epoxy, polyurea or polyaspartic system put down on the prepared slab, often with decorative flakes under a UV-stable topcoat.
Which system suits a floor depends on the project and the site, and some branded systems, RevaFlex among them, are put down only by authorized installers.
A worn pool deck can take a bonded overlay with a slip-resistant finish instead of being torn out and poured again.
A pool deck is "flatwork" like any patio, and the same rule holds: the deck has to be sound under its worn surface, and it keeps the slope it has now. The finish is picked for grip under wet bare feet, a textured surface rather than a smooth trowel.
Same prep, same bonding agent, same overlay as a patio.
Before a grinder touches your slab, this is how the job is handled, every time.
