FAQS

• A decorative concrete overlay is a thin layer of modified cement that is applied to existing concrete surfaces

• It is made with special additives that allow it to withstand harsh weather conditions and remain durable

• The overlay is applied in thicknesses ranging from 3/32" to 3/8"

• It is applied in a variety of textures and colors, and can be applied to surfaces that have already been painted, coated, or textured

• The overlay will bond mechanically and chemically to the concrete to prevent delimitation

• It can withstand high humidity, UV radiation, and freeze/thaw cycles without deterioration

Estimates are completely free. We give you a written estimate . The estimate will include a detailed explanation of what, service, and texture will be performed, as well as any additional information required prior to the application.

• Most concrete cracks can be repaired if the structure of the concrete is sound

• The repair process involves cutting out the crack with a crack chaser blade and filling it with a two-part grout, reinforced with mesh

• While we cannot guarantee that all cracks will be completely concealed, repairs often result in smaller and less noticeable cracks

• If the cracks are still active, we can incorporate them into the design of the surface using a scoring technique to create a decorative pattern that can help conceal the cracks

• Resurfacing preparation and installation costs an average of $5.00 to $6.00 per square foot for TUSCAN SLATE and FLEC-STONE TEXTURES

• Stamped overlays cost an average of $8 to $10 per square foot, depending on the pattern

• The cost per square foot decreases for larger areas

• Small areas are priced on a job-by-job basis

APEX CONCRETE COATINGS provides a warranty that covers installation and manufacturing defects for a period of two years.

• Concrete resurfacing is a durable and long-lasting solution for improving the appearance and functionality of concrete surfaces

• By using the industry's most durable coatings and cutting-edge techniques, we can achieve resurfacing that lasts for many years, with some coatings able to last up to 25 years

• Resurfacing not only provides a strong and durable surface, but also helps to protect the underlying slab and extend its lifespan

• To ensure the best results and the longest-lasting resurfacing, it is important to follow recommended maintenance procedures

Yes. To do the work, the air and surface temperatures must be at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit and rising.

• Our cool-decking acrylic sealers can reduce the surface temperature of concrete by up to 30% compared to untreated concrete

• Darker colors tend to absorb and radiate more heat than lighter colors, but our cool-decking sealer still provides better heat resistance compared to brick, tile, stone, or plain concrete

• The length of time required for a project depends on the type of work being done:

• Resurfacing: 4-5 days

• Color sealing: 3-4 days

• Clear and tint sealing: 2-3 days

• Crack repair: varies

• Good weather can sometimes shorten the time between applications and curing, while bad weather can cause delays

• Once the final topcoat is applied, you should wait 24 hours before allowing light foot traffic and 72 hours before allowing vehicles or heavy furniture to be placed on the surface to allow the topcoat to fully cure

• Be present or make arrangements for selecting colors

• Turn off sprinklers

• (For Driveways) Remove vehicles from the garage or driveway and keep them away from the work area

• Trim back any landscaping near the work area

• (Pool Decks) Remove any personal items, such as furniture, from the work area

• Make sure there is access to power and water
