Nashville Porch Repair: Resolving Surface Issues with Resurfacing

They included a band of Classic Texture around the porch, creating a delineation between the two brick patterns.A well-maintained front porch enhances a home’s curb appeal, but after many years of use it’s common for porch surfaces to look worn out and even experience some damage. Colors may fade, the surface may have minor cracks or chipping, or maybe the design itself is outdated. Instead of tearing out the old concrete surface, resurfacing offers a cost-effective and visually appealing solution. Whether you’re dealing with minor cracks, discoloration, or simply want a fresh new look, resurfacing can restore your porch’s charm and functionality.

It depends. If cracks are minor, then yes—resurfacing is possible, even if there are many cracks. In fact, you may opt for our Custom Scoreline technique in which we apply and overlay and then incorporate the cracks into the final design. Not only does this option look great and disguise existing cracks, it’s also a good way to minimize the potential for future cracking.
"Not all cracks mean the concrete is beyond repair. We assess each project individually and, in many cases, can incorporate existing cracks into a decorative pattern, making them unnoticeable." – Ross Hilz, SUNDEK of Nashville

However, if cracks are very deep and affect the integrity of the surface, it unfortunately may not be possible to resurface the concrete. The best way to find out is to have a contractor come out and assess the damage.
