Concrete Resurfacing Vs Concrete Replacement

If you are contemplating concrete resurfacing vs. concrete replacement for your sidewalks and driveway or patio, it is important to understand the differences and make the right decision about concrete repair for your commercial property.

Here is a quick overview to guide you:

Concrete Resurfacing

• Involves pouring a thin mortar overlay over your existing concrete slab
• Rejuvenates the surface but will not fix large cracks, extensive spalling or pitting
• Can be done in a few hours
• Is typically half the cost of concrete replacement
• Provides an extra layer to reduce wear and tear

Concrete Replacement

• Damaged slabs are removed and replaced with new ones
• A more lasting solution for high-traffic surfaces when compared to patching and overlays
• Takes at least two days to complete
• Also known as full-depth repair, it costs more than resurfacing
• Eliminates the expense of frequent concrete repair

Over time, it is not uncommon for your concrete surfaces to become stained or develop pits and cracks. Timely attention will prevent major damage and safety issues as well as increase the lifespan of your concrete surfaces.

Hiring a reliable concrete contractor for the job makes all the difference. The American Asphalt team will conduct a detailed assessment of the surface condition before making any recommendations.
