What is the cheapest way to resurface a concrete driveway?
A thin cement-based resurfacer over a sound slab is the low-cost way to resurface: basic resurfacing runs $3 to $7 per square foot nationally (2025), against $8 to $15 for a stamped overlay. If a fresh seal is all the drive needs, power washing and resealing costs less again, at $1.50 to $2 per square foot in the same figures.
For comparison, a new un-reinforced driveway runs $6 to $10 per square foot in typical Waco figures (2024).

When resurfacing is the wrong fix
One published guide warns never to resurface a driveway that is severely cracked or damaged. Even on a sound drive, cracks can come back up through the new surface, especially where the slab settles or lacks adequate control joints, so the old joints are kept open through the new layer. These prices are published averages, not a quote.
