Concrete Resurfacing: A Cost-Effective Solution for Norwalk Homeowners

What Does Concrete Resurfacing Entail?

Concrete resurfacing involves using a thin layer of polymer-modified cement to cover an existing concrete slab. Concrete resurfacing will repair small damages, make old-looking concrete look newer, and also add a slippery surface or many functional features (such as non-slip).

When to Consider Concrete Resurfacing

Concrete resurfacing is the most effective option for concrete that is structurally intact, yet displays evidence of deterioration. It is also a good option for stained/discolored concrete, and when a homeowner wants to change the style of their older concrete.

However, if the damaged area is too large or unstable, then it would likely be more cost-effective to replace the concrete completely, rather than resurface it.

The Benefits of Concrete Resurfacing for Homes in Norwalk

• Economical: The average price for resurfacing concrete is 1/3 to 1/2 of the total price to replace the concrete. It can save the homeowner money by reducing labor and material costs.
• Fast turnaround time: Most concrete resurfacing jobs can be finished within two to three days; therefore, it will minimize the time that your home is disrupted during this process.
• Environmentally friendly: It reduces waste since it doesn’t require removing all of the old concrete, and uses fewer resources compared to replacing all of the concrete.
• Many design options: There are numerous different designs and colors of resurfacing products that can be used. For example, it can be made to resemble more costly materials such as natural stone or tile.
• Longer lasting: The modern resurfacing products that are used are typically much harder than the original concrete was, so they can extend the lifespan of the existing concrete.

Some Common Applications of Concrete Resurfacing in Norwalk

• Driveways: Update the overall aesthetic of your driveway and create a safer walking surface during wet weather conditions.
• Pool decks: Create a cooler, more comfortable surface for your bare feet and add decorative patterns for a resort-style feel.
• Patios: Transform your outdated patio into a beautiful space for your outdoor lifestyle and add some color and texture to match your landscaping.
• Garage floors: Provide a clean, professional look to your garage floor and add chemical-resistant qualities to help maintain your garage floor.

Maintenance Tips for Resurfaced Concrete

To maintain your newly resurfaced concrete:

• Clean the surface regularly with a gentle soap cleaner.
• Re-seal the concrete every two to three years.
• Address any new cracking/damage to the surface immediately.

When Resurfacing Isn’t the Answer

There are times when it is better to remove and replace your existing concrete:

• If your existing concrete has serious structural problems.
• When your existing concrete has a lot of settling and/or uneven surfaces.
• If the damage to your existing concrete goes down into the concrete itself.
