When most of our clients think about resurfacing concrete, they think about large, sprawling spaces such as patios or driveways. However, concrete doesn’t have to be flat or expansive to benefit from resurfacing. Even a set of steps leading up to a home or business or to a backyard patio can receive a makeover with decorative concrete resurfacing. In fact, some of our clients are surprised when we tell them that their worn, cracked, or outdated concrete steps can be beautifully transformed—just like any large slab.

Overlays cover minor imperfections, restore strength, and provide a clean surface for decorative treatments.
Resurfacing is more sustainable and cost-effective than tearing out and replacing old concrete. It also saves time, money, and the hassle that comes along with demolition jobs. Once the coating is applied, the new surface can receive texture, colors, and patterns to match or enhance the style of the surrounding features. It’s the perfect way to refresh aging steps without having to fully replace them.
We’re often asked: what’s the best coating for resurfacing steps? There’s not a “best” option for every situation. There are a wide range of options and the best for your site depends on what you want them to look like, your goals, your preferences, and your budget.
Here are popular coating options:
Whether you’re looking for a modern finish, the look of natural stone, or any other style, there’s a resurfacing product for the job.
Once your steps are resurfaced, it’s crucial to protect your investment with a high-quality concrete sealer. Sealers will protect your steps from everything ranging from stains to freeze-thaw cycles. Some sealers also serve to enhance the color of your decorative finish. Overall, a sealer gives your finished concrete a polished look while also extending their longevity.
With decorative coatings, you have the ability to enhance your property—whether you want something subtle or bold.
When designing your resurfaced steps, look for inspiration from surrounding features on your property. You might choose a texture that echoes a nearby path, or a color that complements the material of your home’s exterior. “At SUNDEK of San Antonio, we love helping our clients figure out what will work best in their space,” says Craig Roohan, General Manager for SUNDEK of San Antonio.
