Joints, profile and thickness of a new top
The median home in West dates from 1964, give or take 6 years, in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates. Older concrete that is worn on top but still sound is the case for resurfacing; concrete that is damaged, cracked or shifting is not, since an overlay put over it won't last long, according to one published guide.
Thickness depends on the product. One maker's fine overlay is rated from a 1/16-inch skim to no more than 3/16 inch, with 5,860 psi compressive strength at 21 days; a spray-down knockdown coating from another maker stays at 1/4 inch or less, needs 24 hours or more of drying before its sealer goes on, and that sealer may carry a grip additive. On an overlay, every existing control joint has to continue up into the new surface.
Cracks get repaired in West before any new top goes on, and a patterned overlay is covered with stamped finishes. All West services are on the town page.

Check and wash
The slab is checked for cracks that run deep, keep spreading or sit higher on one side, then pressure-washed clean.
Profile and joints
The surface is roughened so the new layer can bond, and the existing joints are marked to stay open.
Thin coats on top
The overlay goes on in thin coats, or sealer in layers of 1 to 3 mils; the American Society of Concrete Contractors traces most solvent-based sealer trouble to coats laid on thicker than the recommended rate.

Choosing and fixing a sealer
Which sealer suits a shop floor with heavy traffic?
Polyurethane or epoxy, going by one published comparison: polyurethanes for busy floors that must resist scuffs and stains, epoxies for busy floors and cement-based overlays. It points to acrylics where easy application and economy matter.
How is efflorescence under a sealer fixed for good?
Strip the sealer first, the American Society of Concrete Contractors' guide says; then either use an efflorescence remover or give the slab a light acid wash, with 20 to 40 parts of water for each part of muriatic acid.
Is resurfacing a driveway cheaper than replacing it?
Per square foot, yes, in the 2025 national averages: resurfacing a concrete driveway ran $3 to $5 against $6 to $15 for replacement. It only fits a sound slab, though; one published guide rules out resurfacing a driveway that is severely cracked or damaged.
