What Are Concrete Refinishing?
Concrete refinishing is the process of restoring worn, damaged, or outdated concrete surfaces by repairing imperfections and applying new finishes such as coatings, stains, or overlays. It improves appearance, durability, and safety without removing or replacing the existing slab, making it a fast, cost-effective upgrade for residential and commercial floors.
Benefits of Concrete Refinishing
Concrete refinishing offers a long list of advantages for property owners who want better-looking, longer-lasting, and more valuable floors—without the cost of replacement.
✔ Cost-Effective Alternative to New Concrete
Refinishing restores beauty and functionality at a fraction of the price of demolition and repouring.
✔ Dramatically Improves Appearance
Choose from decorative finishes such as stains, sealers, flakes, metallic epoxy, microtoppings, and texture coats that enhance curb appeal and interior design.
✔ Extends the Life of Your Concrete
Professional refinishing strengthens worn surfaces, protects them from heavy foot traffic, moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure, and prevents further deterioration.
✔ Increases Safety
Slip-resistant textures and coatings help reduce hazards in garages, driveways, pool decks, commercial spaces, and industrial facilities.
✔ Easier Cleaning & Lower Maintenance
Refinished concrete becomes smoother, sealed, and more resistant to stains—making routine cleaning quick and hassle-free.
Common Use Cases for Concrete Refinishing
Concrete refinishing is ideal for restoring or upgrading a wide range of indoor and outdoor surfaces, including:
- Garage floors – Remove stains, fix cracks, and apply durable epoxy or polyurea coatings.
- Basement floors – Add moisture-resistant finishes that brighten and modernize interiors.
- Interior concrete floors – Achieve polished, decorative looks with stains or microtoppings.
- Patios & porches – Repair worn areas and add decorative textures or slip-resistant coatings.
- Pool decks – Resurface faded, chipped, or hot surfaces with cooler, safer finishes.
- Driveways & walkways – Restore curb appeal with sealed, strengthened, and textured coatings.
- Commercial floors – Improve durability in retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, and offices.
Any concrete surface that is structurally sound but unattractive, worn, or aging is a great candidate for refinishing.
Our Concrete Refinishing Process
Refinishing systems vary, but our standard workflow ensures a long-lasting, high-performance finish.
1. Inspection & Surface Preparation
We assess the condition of your concrete, repair cracks or spalling, and grind the surface to create proper adhesion.
2. Cleaning & Profiling
Dust, residue, and contaminants are removed using industrial equipment to ensure a flawless bond.
3. Repairing Surface Damage
We patch divots, level uneven spots, and fill cracks to create a uniform base.
4. Applying the Chosen Refinishing System
Depending on your needs, this may include:
- Decorative stains
- Epoxy coatings
- Polyurea or polyaspartic systems
- Microtopping overlays
- Textured spray-knockdown finishes
- Clear or tinted sealers
5. Finishing & Sealing
A protective topcoat is applied to lock in color, increase durability, and shield the floor from wear, moisture, and chemicals.
6. Final Walkthrough
We review the completed refinishing with you to ensure you’re fully satisfied before project completion.
