Cracks and expansion joints are not filled in with material that could pull loose over time they become an integral part of the overall hand-cut design. Patched areas will disappear once the overlay is applied. Depending on how much repair work has been done and the condition of the surface of the slab, two coats of primer may be required. Primer ensures that applied product, for both patching and the overlay, will permanently adhere to the surface of the concrete. Cleaning involves removing any anti-adherents and then pressure washing to eliminate loose debris creating a clean palette for applying bonding primer before patching damaged areas and applying the overlay. Step two: Preparing the concrete for the overlayīefore the overlay can be applied, the surface of the slab must be properly cleaned, patched, and primer applied. John Kostro, Co-founder of Concrete Craft, isn’t intimated by cracks that appear daunting, he says, “ Another cool part of this project is how we incorporate cracks into the design.” Who would have thought? Still structurally sound, this patio can be restored to an attractive place for spending quality time with family and friends without demolition and replacement. Its years of service have left it looking weather-worn, discolored, and cracked. To the untrained eye, this patio appears to be beyond hope. Step One: Taking stock of your damaged concrete Here, from start to finish is the transformation of an ugly, damaged patio and walkway into an elegant flagstone pattern.
DIY fixes can be disastrous, but with the professionals at Concrete Craft®, a concrete overlay, decorative overlay, coating, or, as we like to call it, a resurfaced concrete overlay is a beautiful thing.
One thing you may not have investigated is what is involved in having a patio or driveway resurfaced. If you’re a home improvement enthusiast, you’ve probably spent many hours reading home décor magazines and online design sites and wandering around home shows.
