Need a way to pave your home’s way to featuring a grand entrance or exit? Outdoor concrete resurfacing is your ticket to a brand new home exterior. Starting this type of project now, while summer is still here, will be beneficial to your property in more ways than you think.

When you resurface your outside concrete surfaces, you’re doing more than adding a new look; you’re also adding more life to your home. When you resurface concrete, you actually make it more resistant to freezing and thawing — conditions all too familiar to Chicagoans.

A resurfacing job by Chicago Decorative Concrete Company ensures that your outdoor surfaces are protected against ultraviolet radiation — which can cause unsightly color changes — as well as mold, mildew, and undesirable staining.

Chicago Decorative Concrete’s process for sealing your newly resurfaced concrete makes certain that your concrete surfaces will last you years. No outdoor area at your home is off limits to a concrete resurfacing job. You can choose to change the look and quality of your existing patio, porch, sidewalk/walkway, pool deck and even sunroom, or add in a completely new surface.  

Chicago Decorative Concrete makes sure that your newly resurfaced concrete features a design and hue that blends in well with the rest of your home’s exterior, whether your home features brick or siding. The custom design work lies in your hands and imagination.

Your resurfaced concrete can look like brick, slate, tile, or whatever tickles your fancy for creating a sleek outdoor space worthy of long summer evenings and weekend barbecues.

Everyone wants their homes to be safe and filled with “positive energy”: A little concrete, believe it or not, can help you to achieve this during the spring/summer this year in a major way. You’ve probably heard of Feng Shui, and if you want to experience positive “Chi” energy this year, you better take a look at your floor and go for the gray stuff.

According to the ancient Chinese art form of Feng Shui, any obstacle to positive energy can lead to problems in all aspects of your life—from your finances to your health and even your career. This idea has become more popular in the West during the past three decades. In fact, concrete today is actually considered the most important Earth element for humans: It represents safety, stability, family joy, self-confidence and good health.

In addition, adding earth tones and earthen shapes, such as squares or lines, to your concrete through Chicago Decorative Concrete Company’s acid-stained concrete services can further add to this positive energy. Your floor can be smooth and easy to maintain, thus making your life smooth and positive all around.

Going green doesn’t have to be typical or “boring”: There’s more to being green than recycling bins featuring three chasing arrows or using cloth shopping bags. You can actually go green in style in your own home by installing decorative concrete this summer.

For instance, you can choose to add acid-stained concrete to your home. The stain can come any hue that you choose to match the rest of your living space’s decorations, and this type of flooring is especially eco-friendly in that emits little or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and generates minimal construction waste. Furthermore, it is easy to maintain and is very durable enough to never have to be replaced.

Concrete in and of itself is very energy-efficient to produce in the first place, naturally making it green from the start. In addition, the ingredients in concrete are waste products or recycled materials, and all of these materials can be found locally, so the process of generating concrete is earth-friendly.

You can keep your green for years to come—especially a perk if you decide to sell your home in the future. After all, a day will come when a non-green home will be seen as a dinosaur in the real estate market. In addition, having a green home with the help of decorative concrete flooring can be healthier for your body and for your wallet each month when it’s time to pay the utilities bills.

Chicago Decorative Concrete can bring home beautiful, durable green surfaces that not only save money, but can add value to your home. Request a quote and we'll walk you through all the options.
