In the remodeling industry, decorative concrete resurfacing has given property owners the opportunity to renew the look of their spaces easily and affordably. In Los Angeles, having a well-kept home is a big deal. Although local concrete resurfacing contractors are competing against each other, they are unified when it comes to their top recommendations, and these are:
Stamped Concrete
Stamping concrete is one of the most popular methods of restoring or repairing old slabs. It gained a significant following because of the wide range of patterns to choose from. This made it possible to make the patio look like that fancy high-end material you have always wanted but could not afford to have or maintain. With stamping or manual engraving and a good hand-staining job, the concrete surface can look and feel like real flagstone, slate, brick, travertine, and more.
Spray-Down System
Stucco drywall is a popular wall treatment and this is quite similar to it. The acrylic concrete coating is loaded into a hopper gun, sprayed on the slab, and then knocked down with a trowel. The difference is that it features a more subtle texture than stucco. This makes it easier to walk on, especially when installed on concrete pool decks. This features a low-temperature surface that stays cool despite exposure to the sun’s heat.
Epoxy Floor Coating
While this is a popular coating for concrete floors provided by the Los Angeles concrete contractors, it can only be used indoors. Epoxy is quite sensitive to UV rays and may turn yellow after constant exposure. This is highly recommended for garage floors because of its high resistance to damage. You know how epoxy is such an effective adhesive? That same toughness and durability exist in the floor coating. It dries to a seamless, smooth, and ultra-durable surface that is resistant to abrasion, impact, stains, and more.
Polyurea Polyaspartic
This is also a highly recommended floor coating and a faster drying alternative to epoxy. Although this was originally developed to coat industrial floors and protect the slabs from the heavy work that goes on day in and day out. This material dries super fast, making it a desirable option for home and business owners. Imagine renewing a concrete surface within just a day! No more dealing with days of intrusion, dust, and chaos. Another good thing about polyaspartic is that it can be used on both indoor and outdoor concrete slabs.
