Is the old slab sound enough for a topping?
About 37% of Mount Calm's housing units date from 1990 to 1999 in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates, a count with a very wide margin. A topping can't outperform the slab beneath it: one published guide says an overlay on concrete that's already cracked, damaged or moving with the ground won't last long, and it puts low-grade materials, weak surface prep and mixing or application errors at the top of its list of early-failure causes.
With good materials and workmanship, the same guide gives professional resurfacing 8 to 15 years of life on average, up to 25 with regular care and a mild climate. A clear coat is the other route: the maker of one siloxane repellent expects it to serve for over 10 years, but it won't stop water at cracks, defects or open joints.
Cracks and spalls get crack and patch repair first, and a pattern on top means a stamped finish. Mount Calm concrete jobs are listed together.

Topping and replacement questions
Should a drive poured in the 1990s be resurfaced or replaced?
Its condition decides much of it. One published guide expects a well-built, cared-for concrete drive to last 30 years or more, yet once a drive passes 30 years it rates replacing the whole thing as the most cost-effective, best-looking choice, and it warns never to resurface a drive that is severely cracked or damaged.
Can a topping cure a patio that holds puddles?
Rarely. If a slab tips the wrong way, there's not much to do but take it out and pour it again, one published guide says; where the base eroded and the slab sank, slabjacking can sometimes bring back its slope.
Can a new topping hide old patches and stains?
It can cover them. Resurfacing or an overlay can cover cracks wider than ¼ inch, spalls and discoloring, one guide says, while a patch on its own won't match the original concrete's color, by NRMCA's guidance.
