Three checks before an overlay or sealer
The 2020 Census counted 57 vacant housing units in Valley Mills. Whether an owner is readying one to rent or sell or is simply tired of a worn drive, the first question is whether the old slab can take a new top.
Put an overlay on concrete that is damaged, cracked or still moving and it won't last long, one published guide warns; the usual reasons it gives for early failure are low-grade materials, inadequate surface preparation and errors during mixing or application. The same publisher is blunt about a severely cracked or damaged driveway: it should not be resurfaced at all.
Existing joints must show through in the new surface, carried up from the slab below. Butterfield Color rates its fine overlay for installation only inside a 45°F to 85°F window, for both air and slab, while the National Weather Service's 1991–2020 normals for Waco put the normal daily high in the upper 90s in both July (96.7°F) and August (97.1°F), so summer work is scheduled with that limit in mind.
Sealer is a sacrificial coat. The American Society of Concrete Contractors' guide has sun-exposed, high-traffic areas resealed every 2 to 3 years and lighter-traffic areas every 4 to 5, with water-based sealers applied only at 45°F and rising, never above 90°F.

Look for movement
Cracks are checked for height differences and spreading, and the joints are mapped.
Strip, wash and roughen
Old coatings and dirt come off, and the surface is roughened so the new layer bonds.
Lay it thin, seal it later
The overlay goes on thin and cures, and sealer follows in thin coats.

Before resurfacing: cost, decks and cracks
What does resurfacing a two-car driveway cost?
National figures for 2026 put it at $1,200 to $2,900, against a national average resurfacing job of $500. That assumes a sound slab; a cracked, shifting one needs repair or replacement first.
Is a pool deck cheaper to resurface than to pour new?
When the deck is sound, yes: national 2026 figures start resurfacing at $3 to $5 per square foot, while pouring new runs $6 to $10.
What crack means a slab is past resurfacing?
One published guide points to deep, wide or actively spreading cracks, above all those where one side sits higher than the other. Those can be signs of structural settlement and an unstable subgrade, which a new top layer won't fix.
