Concrete Overlays
A concrete overlay puts a thin, bonded layer of new material over a sound slab. It can hide stains and surface flaws and add color, texture or a stamped pattern, so you get the look of a new surface without the cost and mess of removing the old one.

Common questions
Can an overlay fix a cracked slab?
It can hide surface flaws, but cracks that move can come through. We repair what we can first and tell you honestly if replacing is the better path.
How long does an overlay take?
Often a few days, depending on the size and the steps. We give you a clear schedule before work starts.
