Decorative Overlays
If your slab is solid but looks tired, an overlay can make it new again. We apply thin cement-based toppings that can be stamped, sprayed, troweled or stenciled to create a fresh surface without tearing out the concrete.
- TypesStampable, spray-down, microtopping
- ThicknessFrom paper-thin to a quarter inch or more

Common questions
How long does an overlay last?
When the slab underneath is sound and the surface is prepared well, overlays can last for many years with sealing. We check the base first.
Can an overlay fix a cracked slab?
It hides surface wear, not structural problems. We repair cracks first, and tell you plainly if replacement makes more sense.
