Two Ways to Refresh a Concrete Driveway

When people search for driveway resurfacing, they usually want one thing: a driveway that looks newer. There are two main ways we get there, and the right one depends on the condition of your concrete, the look you want and your budget.

Option 1: Acrylic Sealer Refresh

A concrete driveway sealer is the simpler and more cost-effective option. An acrylic sealer goes over your existing driveway, hides cracks and imperfections, and refreshes the color so the whole surface looks even and cared for. It is a great fit when the concrete is in decent shape and mostly needs to look clean again. Learn more on our acrylic concrete sealer page.

Option 2: Flake or Decorative Coating

A flake coating is a bigger upgrade. It is a multi-layer system: the concrete is prepared, a base coat goes down, decorative color flakes are broadcast across it, and a protective top coat seals everything in. The result is a textured, finished surface that looks very different from bare concrete. It is the same type of system we install in garages and on patios. See our epoxy flake flooring page for more on flake.

Which Option Fits Your Driveway?

Choose an acrylic sealer if you want a quick, cost-effective refresh, your concrete is mostly sound, and the main problems are stains, faded color and small cracks.

Choose a flake or decorative coating if you want a more dramatic change, a textured finish and a look that stands apart from the rest of the street.

Not sure? Josh will look at your driveway at the free estimate and give you a straight answer on what it needs.

Before You List

Curb Appeal Before You Sell

If you are getting ready to list your home, the driveway and front walk are among the first things buyers see, both in person and in listing photos. A stained, patchy driveway can make a well-kept home look tired. Refreshing it with an acrylic sealer is a cost-effective way to make the property look newer, and it can be done without a major construction project. We can seal the walkway and front patio at the same time so everything matches.
