What the estimate checks before a new surface
Half of Lorena's homes went up before about 1983: that is the median year built (plus or minus 3 years) in Census Bureau survey estimates for 2020–2024. On an older slab, the base decides whether a new top will hold. A repaired surface is only as strong as the concrete it is bonded to, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says, so unsound concrete has to come off first and the surface must be free of dirt, oil or paint. Even a good bond won't match the color of the original concrete.
Rain matters too. Waco Regional Airport averages 80.2 days a year with at least 0.01 inch of rain (1991–2020 normals), so the forecast sets the day for sealing or an overlay.
Broken slabs belong with broken concrete repair, and a patterned finish poured new is under stamped finishes. Concrete services in Lorena lists the other jobs.

Before an old slab gets a new top
How is old concrete cleaned before it is resurfaced?
With water under pressure. QUIKRETE's data sheet for its Re-Cap resurfacer calls cleaning with a 2500 PSI pressure washer essential for bonding, once any loose or unsound concrete has been taken off.
What is a spray-down deck coating?
A thin textured topping. Euclid Chemical's Increte spray-deck grout goes on at 1/4 inch thick at most, dries for at least 24 hours and is then sealed, and a grip additive can go in the sealer. The data sheet's list of uses includes pool decks, walkways and patio decks.
How soon can a resurfaced driveway take a car?
With QUIKRETE's Re-Cap resurfacer, the maker says you can walk on it in 8 hours and drive on it in 24.
