Older slabs and what a new top can cover
In the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates, about 60% of Abbott's 179 housing units were built before 1980, against about 27% in 2000 or later.
Cracks and holes under ¼ inch wide can be filled or patched, but only as a temporary fix, because patches aren't watertight; wider ones, spalled spots and discoloration can go under resurfacing or an overlay, one published guide says. NRMCA adds that a surface scaled lightly or moderately can be repaired by bonding a thin new layer onto the sound, cleaned concrete beneath, though the color won't match the original.
Some slabs are past it. The same guide rules resurfacing out for a driveway with severe cracking or damage, and an overlay won't hold up long on concrete that is already damaged.
For those, repair comes first; for a pattern over sound concrete, ask about a stamped overlay, or see Abbott concrete work of every kind.

Check it is sound
Cracks, settlement and loose areas are checked; a slab that is still moving goes to repair first.
Pressure-wash, then profile
The slab is washed and roughened so the overlay bonds, and its joints are kept.
Top and seal
The overlay goes on thin, the joints are carried up through it, and the sealer follows.

Resurfacing questions for older slabs
Is a 1970s slab too old to resurface?
Age alone isn't the test; condition is. A thin bonded topping needs sound, clean concrete under it, so a 1970s slab that is solid and still can be a candidate, while a newer one that is severely cracked, or whose cracks are spreading with one side higher, is not.
How long does a silane or siloxane water repellent last?
One maker puts its silane/siloxane water repellent's service life past 10 years and rates it for new concrete as young as 14 to 28 days. The same sheet warns that it does not seal cracks, defects or open joints against water.
Which sealer type suits an outdoor patio or walk?
Acrylics, in one published comparison, suit interior and exterior work where easy application and economy matter; polyurethanes and epoxies are aimed at high-traffic floors. The American Society of Concrete Contractors' sealer guide treats decorative sealers as a sacrificial coat and, as a rule of thumb, gives sun-exposed areas a fresh coat every 2 to 3 years.
