Are you tired of seeing stubborn stains and discoloration tarnish the appearance of your concrete surfaces, despite all your scrubbing efforts?
Have you been frustrated with the lackluster results of traditional cleaning methods that leave your floors, driveways, and patios looking aged and neglected?
Are you looking for a more effective solution to restore the beauty and integrity of your concrete without resorting to costly replacements?
Concrete, a porous material prone to staining and discoloration with age, often traps color pigments within its pores of the slab. Scrubbing won’t remove these stains or counter natural discoloration, but decorative concrete refinishing offers a solution to restore and enhance its appearance.
Concrete Refinishing vs. Concrete Resurfacing
It is common for people to confuse refinishing with resurfacing. Some even thought that it is one and the same. Although both are decorative concrete solutions, there is one major difference.
Refinishing is simply changing or adding a finisher on the slab, often involving sealing, epoxy applications, or addressing minor cracks to restore the surface.
Resurfacing concrete, on the other hand, is a more intensive process that involves replacing the whole top layer with a coating or overlay.
This process includes extensive preparation such as grinding and leveling, using professional tools and high-quality materials to ensure durability and proper maintenance of the new surface.
Recommended Concrete Coatings
It is important to first have your space assessed by a licensed and experienced contractor so as to determine the right solution for your pool deck or garage floor. If the damage is superficial, meaning something that just has to do with appearance, then refinishing it would be fine. Here are the top systems used in refinishing concrete services:
Stained Concrete
Concrete staining is a top choice for restoring and or repairing concrete with faded colors. Stains deeply penetrate the surface, preventing any fading or peeling. Whether you opt for acid or water-based stains, they expertly conceal unsightly discolorations and stains. For a more decorative finish, multiple colors are available for your selection.
Polished Concrete
Polishing is often done on indoor residential and commercial flooring. It acquires the look of a well-waxed and well-buffed surface minus the tedious work involved. This is a great way of maintaining the utilitarian look of the slab but with a more luxurious shine and smoothness.
Concrete Resealing
All San Diego contractors recommend to seal concrete surfaces to eliminate its porosity. However, sealers only last about a couple of years, depending on how much it is used. This is why it is important to reseal the surface floor once it starts to go dull. This adds a layer of protection and a bit of appealing sheen to it.
