Affordable Alternative to Concrete Replacement
Concrete resurfacing is the most successful solution for homeowners whose surfaces are getting worse but are still structurally sound. Gradually, these zones form aesthetic problems, such as surface cracks, color changes, scaling, small spalling, and overall wear that lessens the appearance but not the underlying strength of the structure. Removal and replacement looked like the only alternative until they came across the remarkable change brought about by restoration. To highlight the transformations, it is worth mentioning the cost savings as one of the reasons for going for this method. Besides the mess caused by demolition being completely avoided, there is also a significant reduction of project timelines from weeks to days, and the possibility of applying decorative finishes. Excel Concrete also offers reliable concrete repair service to maintain and restore surfaces when needed.

Signs Your Concrete Needs Restoration
Surface Cracking
Fine hairline cracks and minor crazing across the surface indicate wear that overlays easily conceal. These shallow cracks don't compromise structural integrity but detract from appearance.
Discoloration and Staining
Years of exposure create unsightly discoloration from oil stains, rust marks, mildew growth, and uneven weathering. New layers cover stains that cleaning cannot remove.
Scaling and Spalling
Surface layer deterioration where concrete flakes or peels create rough, uneven textures. Mild to moderate scaling is perfect for overlay applications.
Concrete Rough or Pitted Surface
Weather exposure and wear create rough, pitted textures that collect dirt. Overlays fill imperfections, creating smooth surfaces.
Outdated Appearance
Plain gray concrete that looks dated benefits from modern decorative finishes. Update your property's look without replacement costs.
The Application Process
Your concrete will undergo an in-depth evaluation by us to check if the application of this technique is appropriate. We take note of the cracks, their severity, structural soundness, and surface condition in general. Not every concrete surface will be suitable for overlays.
Success depends on the proper preparation of the surface. The machines we use will clean up the surfaces in detail by removing dirt and other polluting substances like oil and grease. Significant cracks are repaired and sedimentation problems are resolved. In addition, through surface profiling, measures to form a strong bond between the overlay and the underlying surface are ensured.
The company has a policy of filling and stabilizing the cracks using the right materials for repair. Though surface cracks are covered by overlays, structural cracks demand proper repair.
To make sure that the overlay materials adhere correctly, the bonding agents are applied to the prepared surfaces. Timely and proper application of primer ensures that the materials do not separate.
We coat with proprietary materials that are specifically created and the thickness is normally one inch to two inches. The material is applied uniformly and that makes the coverage even.
The finish of the surface will be as per your choice, whether smooth, textured, or stamped, the finishing will be done accordingly. Stamps, textures, or specialized techniques will be applied while the material is still workable.
The color can be either an integral part of the overlay material or it can be a surface hardener. Staining is done after the overlay is cured.
After the required curing time has passed, a high-quality sealer is applied by us that protects the surface from moisture, stains, and weather damage during the restoration process.
