Concrete Steps Makeover in Pennsylvania
Learn how SUNDEK of Pennsylvania can resurface concrete steps, giving them a gorgeous and safe coating.
When people picture concrete resurfacing, they often imagine wide areas like patios or driveways. But resurfacing isn’t just for large, flat spaces. Even smaller features, such as a set of steps that lead to the front entry of a home or business, can be resurfaced. Many clients are pleasantly surprised to learn that worn, cracked, or outdated steps can be upgraded, just like any expansive slab.
What is Concrete Resurfacing?
Concrete resurfacing entails applying a decorative concrete overlay on top of an existing concrete surface, whether that concrete has been recently poured or has been around for years. When used on existing concrete, overlays can serve to cover minor imperfections. You can use overlays to apply a decorative treatment to any concrete surface.
When working with existing concrete steps, resurfacing is more sustainable and cost-effective than tearing out and replacing old steps. An added benefit is that it saves time, money, and the hassle that often comes along with concrete demos. With a decorative coating, you can give new or existing concrete textures, colors, and patterns that either match or enhance the style of the surrounding features. It’s the perfect way to refresh aging steps without having to fully replace them.
Coatings for Concrete Steps
At SUNDEK of Pennsylvania, we use Classic Texture coating. It’s renowned in the industry for having the following qualities that are ideal for steps:
- Easy to clean
- Stays cooler than plain gray concrete
- Customizable design options (colors and patterns)
- Slip-resistant properties
Protecting Your Decorative Concrete Steps
After resurfacing your concrete steps, it’s important to protect the coating with a high-quality sealer. A sealer will protect your steps from staining, and even potential damage. Tinted sealers can even enhance the color of your decorative concrete steps. Overall, a sealer gives your finished concrete a polished look while also extending their longevity.
Decorative Coatings: Designs for Steps
Classic Texture gives you the ability to enhance your concrete steps in a way that complements the style of your property—whether that’s neutral, bold, or somewhere in between. “We recommend looking for inspiration from surrounding features on your property when making color and pattern decisions,” suggests Mike Foreman owner of SUNDEK of Pennsylvania.
Enhance Safety with Resurfaced Steps
Resurfacing your steps isn't just about making them look good. It's also a fantastic way to make them safer. A Classic Texture coating adds a slip-resistant surface, giving you better traction. This is important if your steps get wet from nearby sprinklers, a swimming pool, or during rainy weather. In the Philly area, it’s especially valuable in winter when snow and ice can make concrete dangerously slick. Plus, you can use contrasting colors to make step edges stand out. That extra visibility goes a long way in preventing trips and stumbles.
