Concrete Resurfacing Cost Considerations:

• Basic (One color) 

• Decorative Overlay (Several colors, polished, cut) 

• Stamped (Stenciled, embeds, epoxy terrazzo, embeds)
   

The cost per square foot differs based on the kind of resurfacing you want, the existing surface condition, and the project size.

Plan your budget wisely if you have a lot of cracks that need to be filled or require mud-jacking to level out the slab.

Concrete resurfacing entails more than just spreading the concrete and allowing it to harden. It’s a process that requires accuracy in setting up the worksite and in prepping and applying the concrete. Making the site form too large is a common DIY oversight that leads to the concrete cracking and slumping. One other common oversight is failure to correctly mix the concrete. Poorly made concrete has the potential to crack.
