Updating Outdoors

Using concrete overlays to beautify your outdoor spaces.

Looking for a simple solution for repairing unsightly concrete surfaces? Well, look no further. Creative Resurfacing specializes in concrete and architectural coatings for driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, fireplaces, retaining walls and a variety of other indoor, outdoor and commercial applications.

With 25 years of experience building freeways for independent contractors, owner John Deffebach knows his way around the concrete business. His personal work ethic and desire to provide something better for the consumer led him to establish a company where customer service is the rule rather than the exception.

Creative Resurfacing’s overlay is unlike other coatings, consisting of a unique blend of crushed quartz and various grades of hard-finish limestone. The surface is ¼ to 3⁄8-inch thick, bonds permanently to the existing masonry slab, and is ultra-durable— exceeding 5,200 psi!

Think concrete’s boring? Think again! The overlay surface is hand-carved and hand-colored so that each project is a unique masterpiece. The texture of the stone can be smooth or rough, polished, troweled, or pitted. It can be made to resemble tile, flagstone, or random stone of irregular shapes and sizes—all according to the customers’ specifications. Just about any decorative pattern (even a company logo) can be carved into the surface.

John spends time with the customers throughout the whole process to ensure their satisfaction—from explaining options in design colors and patterns to providing a sample board before work commences. He takes pride in the fact that he’s personally involved with every job and always available should a question or concerns arise.

Creative Resurfacing’s overlay is an excellent alternative to the mess, inconvenience and expense of replacing existing concrete. It is also environmentally smart—a natural product which protects our landfills from unnecessary concrete and rebar.
