Skim Coat Projects
Thank you for taking a moment to visit our skim coat projects page. For those looking for a very economical way to fix up their exterior concrete floors, this is the best option available. By resurfacing your existing concrete floors using a thin coat of a special cement, we can eliminate many typical eyesores such as different colors, pits, cracks, stains, and other minor imperfections. We'll explain a little more about just what the skim coat process is all about and how we apply it, where it's a suitable process and just what its pros and cons are. It's one of our most popular options for exterior concrete because of its durability, beauty, and cost. We can usually apply a skim coat overlay to a 500 ft2 area in about two to three days.
Pros:
- Most inexpensive option available for resurfacing concrete to fix most common problems
- Blends new and old concrete to make it all look the same.
- Can be acid stained or water stained to create a variegated look.
- Can be applied over exposed aggregate concrete to "soften" it
Cons:
- Cannot repair concrete floors that have extensive damage as too many coats would be needed.
- Very wide cracks may still visible as a "shadow" in the floor after the skim coat has been applied.
Skim coat overlays are usually priced in the the $2 - $3 per ft2. Larger projects have a lower cost per square foot than smaller projects. We have a $1,500 minimum for our work. Please give us a call for a free estimate or use our Project Estimators for an instant quote.
