You can significantly improve the outside appearance of your home by resurfacing your concrete driveway. This hard wearing decorative surface will create an unique point of difference from other homes in your neighborhood. Resurfacing is the ideal way renovate tired old concrete.

3. Quick turnaround to get this amazing look.
Stencil resurfacing can be applied in a short time frame. For the average sized patio, the time frame is just 1-2 days. For an average double width driveway, it’s best to allow 2 days. And for a combination of areas, for example, a pool surround and patio out the back and a driveway and path out the front, the job would normally take around 4-5 days.
4. Low maintenance!
Once the job is complete and fully cured, you can rest easy. Cement coatings are incredibly strong and guaranteed not to delaminate or chip off over time. With the clear sealer coat, your new concrete driveway will be easy to keep clean as the dirt simply cannot get into the grooves of the concrete and stain it. This makes it easy to hose off or blow off.

This is the most asked question we get from new customers: “Can you fix the cracks in my driveway?” Well this is where you can rest assured, Stencil Paving Systems uses the absolute best product for repairing cracks in the world.
Basically, crack repair is made up of 2 stages: stage 1 “hard compounds” that are designed to bridge bad cracks with a super strong cement/resin mixture to fill gaps, and stage 2 “flexible coatings” that are specifically designed to stretch over cracked concrete. Because the coating is flexible, over time as the concrete continues to move the polymer coating will move with it.
