How do you know if your driveway is a good candidate for resurfacing?

Our most popular concrete resurfacing job is driveway repair. Years of vehicle traffic and weather fluctuations can take their toll on a concrete pad like a driveway. If it isn’t built to withstand the yearly freeze and thaw and heave of a normal west coast winter, it will quickly develop cracks and possibly develop uneven slabs depending on the construction method.

Driveway resurfacing is a good option if you’re driveway has minimal damage. Minor cracks and superficial damage can be brought back to life with a professional resurfacing project.

When does a concrete driveway need to be replaced?

Your driveway might not be a good candidate for resurfacing if there are major issues. Large cracks will need structural repair and could indicate an issue with your base layer and underlying construction quality. This can’t be fixed with a resurfacing, as it will just return and is usually seen through the new surface. Any heaving of the slab that creates differences in surface levels is a major issue that can’t be fixed with resurfacing. In rare circumstances, some large slabs can be ‘raised’ if it’s just a settling issue. Major issues like this will likely require a driveway replacement, and that can add up!

If you feel your driveway needs resurfacing or replacement, we can provide a quick and honest assessment and provide you with a completely free quote based on the condition of your driveway and what you’d like the finish to look like.

What can you get resurfaced?

Concrete restoration and resurfacing is a great option to consider when your existing concrete surface is worn and aged. Concrete restoration involves repairing any cracks or chips in the concrete and then applying a new decorative coating to the surface of the repaired concrete. Our specialists can use different application techniques to add texture and colour to the surface or stamp the concrete giving it a stone look and feel. If it’s concrete, we can fix it.

Here are just a few of the most common areas that we work on:

Concrete driveways
Concrete pathways
Concrete stairs and ramps
Concrete pads and decks of all kinds

If you want to update the look of your concrete, a decorative overlay is a cost-effective way to avoid replacing your existing installation. We have a wide array of amazing finishes, patterns, and textures available to create the perfect custom look you desire.

Common Concrete Restoration Options

Stamped Concrete

Often found on outdoor concrete surfaces, this finish is created by stamping the concrete with one or more patterns creating a pleasing visual effect which is then sealed. We can carefully choose stains and patterns to even create a natural rock or brick look and feel.

Spray Knockdown

By using acrylic concrete coatings that are applied using a hopper gun, our specialists can create a slip resistant concrete surface available in a variety of colours and stains.
