How thin an overlay is, and what it needs underneath
The median year built for Gholson's homes is 1996, give or take 5 years, in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates.
Butterfield Color's T1000 fine overlay goes on from 1/16 inch to 3/16 inch at most and reaches 5860 psi at 21 days. Euclid Chemical's Increte spray-deck grout, a spray-down knockdown finish, is sprayed no thicker than 1/4 inch and sealed once it has dried for 24 hours or more; pool decks, walkways and patio decks are on the maker's list of uses.
What's underneath decides whether it lasts. Large cracks, significant spalling or severe settlement can rule out a stamped overlay, and where the slab settles, cracks can still reflect up through the new surface.
July and August days at Waco are consistently in the 90s and often reach 100, the National Weather Service says, while water-based sealers, by the American Society of Concrete Contractors' guide, go on only when the air and concrete are 45°F and rising and no hotter than 90°F. Plan the sealing date around both.

Check and clean
The slab is checked for cracks and movement, then cleaned with a pressure washer, a step one maker calls essential for bonding.
Spread the new surface
The resurfacer or overlay goes down in a thin coat, with the old control joints carried up through it.
Cure, then seal thin
Sealer goes on in thin 1 to 3 mil layers; most solvent-based sealer problems come from putting it on too thick.

Questions about resurfacing a slab
How much does a bag of resurfacer cover?
About 16 square feet at 1/4 inch thick for one 40-pound bag of QUIKRETE's Re-Cap, a polymer-modified portland cement resurfacer that goes on from a feather edge up to 1/2 inch. Foot traffic can go on after 8 hours and cars after 24.
Where shouldn't a thin overlay be used?
Butterfield Color says its T1000 fine overlay should not go where there is steel-wheel traffic, strong chemicals, periodic water immersion or hydrostatic pressure, and that it should go down only when the air and slab are between 45°F and 85°F.
Can a water repellent protect a newer slab?
It can help. PROSOCO estimates the service life of its siloxane water repellent at more than 10 years and calls it suitable for new concrete 14 to 28 days old, but the maker warns that cracks, defects and open joints will still let water in.
