What concrete resurfacing means in Augusta
It covers spalling, surface staining, a worn-off broom texture and light crazing. What it does not cover is anything structural.
The candidate slab is one that is level, does not rock under load, and has cracks that are stable and can be treated. That describes a lot of tired-looking concrete.
A lot of Augusta concrete is structurally fine and looks terrible, because pollen, pressure washing and iron-rich soil have worked on the surface for decades. That is exactly the resurfacing candidate.

How concrete resurfacing is applied
The surface is profiled by grinding or shot-blasting, and any loose or spalled material is removed back to sound concrete rather than covered.
Cracks are routed and filled, and moving cracks are carried through the new surface as joints instead of being bridged.
A bonding coat goes down, then the resurfacing material, which can be finished smooth, broomed, textured or stamped depending on what is wanted.
All existing control joints are reinstated in the new surface. Every joint that is bridged rather than carried through will tear along its line.
What concrete resurfacing costs in Augusta, GA

Where concrete resurfacing goes wrong in GA

Questions we get asked about concrete resurfacing
Is resurfacing as good as new concrete?
On a structurally sound slab, it gives you a new surface for a fraction of the price. It does not fix structure.
How do I know if my slab can be resurfaced?
It should be level, not rock under load, and have cracks that are stable. Ponding and rocking mean replacement.
Can a resurfaced slab be stamped?
Yes. A stampable resurfacing material takes a texture mat like a fresh pour.
