If wanting to improve the look of concrete is the goal, conventional wisdom holds that old concrete with cracks, surface discoloration, or surface imperfections, must be removed and replaced. There are many options available for transforming that drab concrete driveway, patio, or floor, into a new, decorative, colored concrete surface. Plus, you’ll save money, conserve resources, and eliminate disposal problems.
Completely resurfacing concrete with a polymer-modified overlay is one way to upgrade the look. In choosing this you will have a wide variety of color and pattern options to select from. If your concrete is in good condition and just needs a facelift, you can also stain, stencil or engrave it to improve the appearance.
Despite stiff competition from wood decks, the concrete patio is gaining in popularity as an essential element in today’s backyards. With many more decorative options than ever before, concrete patios are attracting homeowners who want an outdoor surface that offers the ultimate in design versatility. Concrete patios also have the edge when it comes to durability and low maintenance.
