Why Concrete Overlays?
If your concrete floor is showing signs of wear and displaying imperfections, you do not have to completely replace the floor to fix the issue. Concrete overlays transform worn floors into fresh, beautiful surfaces within days at minimal cost. A concrete overlay is a process which prepares the surface of a concrete floor before new concrete is laid on top, utilizing dyeing, stamping, and staining techniques to achieve any desired aesthetic. When properly applied and sealed, concrete overlays can last indefinitely. We offer three primary types of concrete overlays for any application. Stained concrete overlays are applied as thin polymer layers with chemical staining for a natural appearance on commercial floors. Stamped concrete overlays offer simpler installation while mimicking the look of stone, brick, marble, tile, slate, or wood finishes. Sprayed concrete overlays use power spray equipment for smooth, even finishes and are particularly popular for pool decks and outdoor surfaces with slip-resistant options. Concrete overlays are the ideal solution for patios, pool decks, sidewalks, driveways, and interior floors that were previously carpeted or covered with linoleum. They prevent the need for complete floor replacement, add texture, patterns, and colors, level and smooth uneven surfaces, protect existing concrete, and restore damaged floors both functionally and aesthetically. Our overlay systems bond to multiple surfaces including existing tile and wood, creating seamless finishes formulated with high-strength polymers that enhance flexibility and resistance to cracking and staining.

Step by Step
Our Concrete Overlays Process
Surface Evaluation
Assessment of existing concrete condition, structural integrity, and any underlying issues. We determine which overlay type is best suited for your application: stained, stamped, or sprayed.
Surface Preparation
Proper preparation is critical. All dirt, dust, and existing coatings are removed through acid etching, diamond grinding, shot blasting, sand blasting, or scarifying. Cracks are repaired with high-strength polymer compounds. The optimal temperature range of 55-65 degrees F ensures proper curing and bonding.
Primer & Base Application
A bonding primer is applied to create optimal adhesion between the existing surface and the new overlay. For stained overlays, thin polymer layers are built up. For stamped, the overlay material is poured at the appropriate thickness for pattern imprinting.
Overlay Application & Design
The overlay is applied to specified thickness and design. Stained overlays receive chemical staining for natural appearance. Stamped overlays are imprinted with stone, brick, or custom patterns. Sprayed overlays are applied with power spray equipment for smooth, even finishes.
Sealing & Protection
The overlay is sealed with high-performance protective coatings to lock in color, add slip resistance where needed, and ensure maximum durability. Proper sealing is what allows overlays to last indefinitely with minimal maintenance.

“Rather than ripping out our damaged floor, SS Concrete applied an overlay that looks brand new. Saved us tens of thousands and was done in less than a week.”
