Uneven and cracked concrete can be an eyesore and a trip hazard. It’s time to address those issues with cement repair and resurfacing. Luckily, you don’t need to be an expert to restore your sidewalks or driveway. With these simple tips, you can revive it in no time.
Firstly, assess the damage. Determine how extensive the damage is and if the pavement needs resurfacing or just minor repairs. Then, clean the surface with a pressure washer or hose, so that the cement primer can stick to it.
If there are minor cracks, use a concrete patching compound. It’s easy to apply, and it dries quickly. You can also add texture to the surface by sweeping over it with a broom before it dries.
For large cracks or chipped off surfaces, you need to resurface it. Mix the resurfacing cement with water, and apply the mixture over the area. Use a trowel or long-handled squeegee to spread it evenly. You can also add color to the mix for a sophisticated look.
Lastly, apply the sealer to the surface. It’ll protect the surface from harsh weather and prevent water from penetrating deep into the concrete.
With simple cement repair and resurfacing techniques, you can revive your walkways and enhance the curb appeal of your property.
