 provides heritage brick, tuckpointing and foundation parging throughout Toronto, backed by 22+ years combined Toronto masonry and heritage restoration. We resurface structurally sound concrete with polymer-modified overlays and decorative finishes: stamped, stencilled, broom or smooth. Resurfacing only works on slabs that are not heaving or breaking up, so we check soundness, cracks and drainage before quoting.

Typical resurfacing runs $4,000 to $25,000.

## What Concrete Resurfacing Is

Concrete resurfacing applies a thin **polymer-modified overlay** over existing concrete. It renews a worn, scaled or stained surface without the cost and mess of tearing out the slab. It can be plain, broom-finished for grip, or decorative: **stamped overlay** patterns, stencils and colour.

## When Resurfacing Works and When It Does Not

| Slab condition | Resurfacing? | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Surface scaling, pitting, stains | Yes | The damage is cosmetic and the slab underneath is sound |
| Hairline cracks, stable | Yes, after crack treatment | Untreated cracks telegraph through a new overlay |
| Heaving or sinking sections | No, fix or replace first | An overlay cannot hold a slab that is still moving |
| Broken through, loose pieces | No | There is no solid surface left for the overlay to bond to |
| Poor drainage, ponding | Fix slope first | Standing water and freeze-thaw will lift the new surface |

## How We Resurface

We **diamond grind** to a clean **surface profile**, repair cracks, honour existing **control joints**, apply the overlay and finish, then seal with a **penetrating sealer** suited to salt exposure.

Codes + Standards

## Which Codes and Standards Apply to Concrete Resurfacing in Toronto?

Toronto masonry is regulated work. These are the rules we build to on every concrete resurfacing job, and why they matter to you.

### Surface Profile

Overlays need a clean, roughened surface profile to bond.

### Control Joints Honoured

Existing control joints are carried through the overlay so cracks stay controlled.

### Penetrating Sealers

Sealers reduce water and chloride penetration from de-icing salt.

5-Stage Process

## How Does Our Concrete Resurfacing Process Work?

Timeline: 2-5 days plus curing. Each stage lines up with a draw on your fixed-price contract, so you only pay for work that is done.

Questions We Hear Every Week

## Concrete Resurfacing FAQs

How much does concrete resurfacing cost in Toronto?

Concrete resurfacing typically costs $4,000 to $25,000, depending on area and finish.

Can any concrete be resurfaced?

Only sound concrete. If a slab is heaving, broken through or moving, an overlay will crack. We check before quoting.

How long does resurfacing last?

A well-prepared, sealed overlay lasts many years. Resealing every few years extends it.

Is stamped overlay slippery?

We add slip-resistant additives to sealers on walkways and pool areas.

Will cracks come back through?

Moving cracks can reflect through. We repair and treat cracks and keep control joints.

When can I use it?

Foot traffic in about 24 hours; vehicles after several days.

Can you resurface pool decks?

Yes, or overlay with Jewelstone. See concrete pool repair and Jewelstone.

Do you do repairs too?

Yes. See concrete repair.
