The underlying concrete for a resurfacing project must be sound. It is not feasible to resurface concrete that is heaving, has severe cracks, or is damaged due to freeze/thaw damage. Resurfacing will not solve underlying soil problems. Small plastics shrinkage, cracks, or crazing cracks can be covered by the polymer prime coat and base coat of the resurfacing material. Another way of "fixing" nonstructural cracks, such as shrinkage cracks, is to route the crack out with a crack chaser (or a saw or angle grinder) and fill it with a sealant.

No type of flooring material is truly "maintenance-free," no matter what the manufacturer may claim. While concrete floors are relatively easy to maintain, compared with other types of floor surfaces, they aren't completely maintenance-free. How much maintenance your floor will need largely depends on the amount of traffic it receives. The maintenance needs of a residential floor will be much different than the maintenance for a floor in a high-traffic commercial or retail environment.

The life expectancy of a concrete floor will far surpass that of most floor covering materials. That means in the long run you can save money because you'll never need to rip out and replace worn or damaged flooring.

The initial outlay for decorative concrete may exceed the cost of a low- to mid-priced floor covering, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, and wood laminates. When compared with high-end floor coverings, such as ceramic tile, slate, and marble, decorative concrete is often an economical alternative. Plus, skilled concrete artisans can duplicate the look of these pricier materials.

Cleaning and sealing overlays and colored concrete should be done regularly, just like any other home maintenance. The frequency will depend on how often the surface is exposed to cars, foot traffic, water, and any chemicals. We recommend resealing every 2 or 3 years. If you wait for longer, you may notice the color fade slightly, but just like waxing a car, resealing your concrete will return it to the vibrancy of the day, it was installed.
