Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays in Seguin TX - a fresh surface on sound concrete
Worn, faded or pitted concrete gets a thin new layer, once we've checked that the slab underneath is solid enough to hold it.
Can worn concrete be resurfaced instead of torn out?
Concrete resurfacing in Seguin, TX puts a thin new layer over old concrete that's still sound, so a worn, faded or pitted driveway, patio or floor gets a fresh face without tearing out the slab.
Most calls start with concrete that looks tired but is otherwise in one piece. Before I talk about a fix, I tell you what's wrong with the slab, because a new layer over the wrong problem only hides it for a while. We're fully licensed and insured, and Seguin requires every contractor to be registered with the city before it issues a permit, so it's fair to ask that of anyone you're comparing.
The price moves with the size of the area, how much patching the old surface needs and whether you want a plain face or a decorative finish. The schedule turns on how much prep the slab needs, the heat on the day and the drying time before you can use it again, and the written estimate gives you your own figure.
- Covers indoor floors and outdoor slabs like driveways, patios and walkways, when the concrete is sound.
- Cracks, chips and loose spots get repaired, and the surface gets cleaned and roughened so the layer grabs.
- A thin layer evens out wear and fading, but it can't fix a slab that's settling or heaving.

(830) 340-0036Questions about resurfacing concrete in Seguin
These come up on most resurfacing calls around Seguin, from whether the slab can take a new layer to how long you'll be parking on the street. If yours isn't here, ask when I come out.
Can my old concrete be resurfaced, or does it need to be replaced?
It can be resurfaced if it's solid and not moving, and it should be replaced if too much of it is broken up. One overlay maker makes its products for structurally sound, non-moving concrete, and one national guide says that once more than 25% to 30% of a driveway's surface is visibly damaged, the whole area needs redoing. I check your slab against both when I come out.
How much does concrete resurfacing cost in Seguin, TX?
I can't give a fair number without seeing the slab, because the price turns on how much repair it needs and which finish you pick. A plain resurfacer costs less than a decorative overlay with color or a stamped pattern, and a slab that needs replacing is a different job altogether. The free written estimate gives you your figure.
How long does it take before I can drive on a resurfaced driveway?
Plan to stay off it for 48 to 72 hours, which is what one New Braunfels concrete company advises while the surface dries completely. Heat also makes these materials set faster and shortens the time we have to work them, so ask us how we'll schedule your job if it lands on a hot day.
Do I need a permit to resurface concrete in Seguin?
That isn't settled for resurfacing, because Seguin's permit list covers building, altering, repairing or demolishing a building or structure and doesn't name this work. Before we start, I check with the city's building office about your job, and if they say a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy. If you own and live in a homestead registered with the Guadalupe County Appraisal District, the city lets you do work on it yourself with the proper permits, but any contractor you hire for part of it has to be licensed with the city.
How often does a stamped concrete overlay need resealing?
One national guide says every two to five years. That means a stamped overlay comes with regular upkeep after the first job, which is worth weighing against a plain finish.
What causes a resurfaced slab to peel or crack?
Usually it's the concrete underneath or the prep, not the new layer itself. A thin topping follows whatever the slab under it does, so cracks that move come right back through, and a dirty or slick surface keeps the layer from bonding. That's why I check the slab before I quote anything.
