Concrete Resurfacing in Philadelphia

What Concrete Resurfacing Is

Concrete resurfacing puts a new top layer over the concrete you already have. We don't break out the whole slab. We clean and repair the old surface, then cover it so it looks clean, even and sharp again. It's a smart fix when the concrete underneath is still solid but the top is worn out.

Dependable Concrete has been fixing concrete since 1984. We'll tell you straight whether resurfacing is the right call or whether you need something else.

Signs You Need It

• The top layer is chipped, flaking or crumbling
• Small surface cracks and rough patches are spreading
• Stains or faded, blotchy color won't wash out
• Your concrete looks tired next to the rest of your home

Some problems need more than a new top layer. If your concrete is sinking, cracked all the way through or breaking apart, a new pour may be the better fix. We'll look at it with you and explain your options in plain words.

How We Approach It

First, we clean the surface well. Then we clear away loose and crumbling pieces and fill the cracks so the new layer has a solid base. Next, we spread the new layer, smooth it out and finish the edges neatly. We give it a traction finish so it isn't slick underfoot, and we match the color of the new material to your existing concrete. You can walk on it, drive on it and put furniture back on it the next day.

We keep the work area tidy, and we clean up when the job is done. Our crew is courteous and professional, and we will return your call.

Built for Philadelphia Homes

Philly winters are tough on concrete. Water soaks into the surface, freezes, swells and thaws again, over and over. After enough winters, that cycle pops off the top layer and leaves it rough and flaking. Concrete resurfacing in Philadelphia gives that worn surface a clean new face.

Many older rowhomes, twins and stone houses in Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, Germantown and Roxborough have steps and walks that are decades old. A fresh surface can help your home's curb appeal match the character of your block.

• Front and back concrete steps
