Concrete Resurfacing
Concrete resurfacing is an effective way to restore worn, cracked, or flaking concrete without the cost and disruption of full replacement. At Level Best Northwest, we resurface existing concrete to improve curb appeal, extend its lifespan, and protect it from further deterioration. When done correctly, resurfacing provides a durable, attractive finish that can last 10 to 15 years or longer, making it a smart alternative to replacement.
Is Your Concrete Showing Signs of Damage or Wear?
Over time, concrete surfaces can begin to break down due to weather exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and everyday use. While the concrete may still be structurally sound, the surface often shows visible signs of wear.
Common resurfacing issues include:
Cracked concrete that affects appearance but not overall stability
Scaling and spalling, where the surface begins flaking or peeling
Pitting and rough textures caused by freeze-thaw cycles
Concrete that looks worn, aged, or uneven in color
Surfaces that reduce curb appeal or make a property look neglected
When concrete begins to deteriorate, it will continue to worsen if left untreated. Addressing surface damage early helps preserve the slab before it becomes unsalvageable and requires replacement.
How We Restore and Protect Your Concrete
In most cases, concrete can be resurfaced rather than replaced. As long as the slab has not deteriorated into gravel or severe chunking, resurfacing is often an excellent solution.
Concrete resurfacing is especially beneficial in hard-to-reach areas, such as concrete behind a house or in tight spaces where replacement would be difficult, disruptive, or costly.
Our concrete resurfacing process includes:
Recutting expansion joints where needed
Grinding out cracks and repairing them with epoxy gel
Grinding the concrete surface to create proper adhesion
High-pressure washing to remove debris and contaminants
Applying two to three coats of cement-based overlay material
Broom finishing the final coat for traction and appearance
Sealing the surface with a clear acrylic sealer for protection
This process restores both the appearance and performance of the concrete while preparing it to withstand future wear.
Why Repairing Concrete Is Often the Better Option
Concrete resurfacing offers significant advantages over tearing out and replacing existing concrete.
Benefits of concrete resurfacing:
Typically about 40% less expensive than full replacement
Minimal disturbance to surrounding landscaping and structures
Eco-friendly, since the existing slab remains in place
Improves curb appeal and overall appearance
Extends the usable life of your concrete by 10–15 years or more when properly installed and maintained
Resurfacing allows you to restore and protect your concrete before deterioration reaches the point of no return. It’s a practical, cost-effective way to improve both the look and longevity of your concrete surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is concrete resurfacing?
Concrete resurfacing applies a fresh surface layer over concrete that is still structurally sound, restoring its appearance without the cost of tearing it out and replacing it.
How long does resurfaced concrete last?
A properly resurfaced slab can last many years when the concrete beneath it is sound. Sealing the new surface afterward helps protect it from weather and wear.
When is resurfacing a good option?
Resurfacing works when the slab is solid underneath but the surface is worn, scaled, or stained. If the concrete is structurally failed, replacement is the better choice.
Can resurfacing cover stains and surface damage?
Yes. Resurfacing covers surface stains, scaling, and minor surface damage with a fresh, uniform finish, as long as the slab underneath is structurally solid.
Is resurfacing cheaper than replacing concrete?
Yes. Resurfacing is typically far less expensive than full replacement and is completed much faster, with no demolition.
