Six Ways To Restore Damaged Concrete And Avoid Costly Replacement

When outdoor concrete surfaces go bad, they can impact appearance, safety, and your home’s value. Patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks are constantly exposed to weather and activities that eventually make classic gray concrete look dreadful. From cracks and stains to worn spots exposing aggregate and uneven sections, your once-lovely concrete is looking rather shabby. The good news is that you can remedy all your bad concrete problems with just one call to Concrete Craft®:

• Repair and restoration—no need for demolition and replacement
• Unlimited decorative concrete design options and colors
• Restore flooring and vertical surfaces like pillars and seat walls
• Solutions for every budget

Upgrade your gray patio with a custom faux wood stamped concrete overlay for a stylish farmhouse look

Stamped concrete overlays are the perfect solution to revitalize concrete surfaces that have minor surface damage like cracks, imperfections, and discoloration. Applying an overlay hides the distressed surface with a permanent, fresh concrete surface that can be stained or stamped with a texture pattern or faux stone or wood designs that look natural and authentic. Concrete stamps made from real stone and wood molds ensure realistic finishes such as flagstone, cobblestone, Ashlar slate, Roman slate, tile, brick, and wood plank patterns. Hand-applied concrete stains allow for custom looks to match your landscape designs as well as special effects like marbling and antiquing.

• Create unique designs as well as combine multiple stamp looks, like a flagstone border with a slate texture stamp.
• For the concrete purist, simply restore your patio or walkways to the look of new poured concrete with a decorative concrete overlay and a broom-swept finish.
• Enhance your surroundings with natural stone and wood impressions at half the cost of the real materials for floors as well as vertical concrete resurfacing for wall and steps.

Translucent TruStain^TM concrete stains add rich, long-lasting, fade-resistant color that highlights the natural characteristics of concrete. Additional stain systems can produce solid opaque colors to rejuvenate colored surfaces or bare concrete, hiding minor imperfections with the look of integrally colored concrete. Use one color or multiple stain colors for special effects, stenciled designs, borders, and more.
