Concrete Overlays

Resurfacing and decorative overlays that transform existing concrete without costly replacement.

Concrete overlays provide cost-effective solutions for transforming worn, damaged, or aesthetically outdated concrete surfaces without the expense and disruption of complete replacement. Our overlay services apply thin layers of specialized concrete mixes or polymer-modified toppings over existing slabs, creating beautiful new surfaces for retail stores, office buildings, warehouses, restaurants, and commercial facilities throughout Denton and North Texas. Overlays are ideal for renovation projects where the existing concrete structure remains sound but surfaces show wear, staining, or no longer match current design aesthetics. We offer multiple overlay systems including self-leveling overlays (smooth, uniform surfaces), stampable overlays (decorative patterns), micro-toppings (ultra-thin decorative finishes), and spray texture overlays (slip-resistant textures). Each system can be colored, stained, and sealed to achieve virtually any aesthetic from modern polished concrete to traditional stone patterns. The overlay process typically requires 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness, far less than replacement concrete, while providing excellent bond strength and durability. Our preparation process includes thorough surface cleaning, repair of significant damage, application of bonding agents, and precision overlay installation that ensures long-term performance. Overlays cost 40-70% less than concrete replacement while often achieving superior aesthetics. Installation is faster with minimal disruption to business operations compared to demolition and replacement timelines. We work with property owners, facility managers, and designers to specify appropriate overlay systems based on existing conditions, traffic requirements, and aesthetic goals. Our overlay installations serve retail renovations, office modernizations, warehouse floor improvements, and commercial property upgrades where budget-conscious solutions must deliver lasting quality and visual appeal.

Project Timeline

Most commercial concrete overlay projects are completed in 2-5 days including surface preparation, overlay application, decorative treatments, and sealing. Cure time of 24-72 hours required before resuming normal traffic. Large or complex projects may extend to 7-10 days. This is significantly faster than concrete replacement which requires demolition, disposal, and 7-14 day installation and cure cycles.

Denton Area Considerations

North Texas's growing focus on sustainable building and adaptive reuse makes overlays increasingly popular for transforming existing spaces rather than demolishing and replacing. The region's competitive commercial real estate market values fast renovation timelines and cost-effective improvements. Local concrete in good condition readily accepts overlays, and Texas climate conditions are compatible with all major overlay systems when properly installed and sealed.
