Your concrete doesn’t always need to be torn out and replaced. If the base is still sound but the surface is worn, stained, or dated, a concrete overlay can give it a fresh, durable finish for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Candor Concrete applies bonded overlays to driveways, patios, and walkways, with options for decorative color and texture to completely transform the look. We’ll always give you an honest assessment first. If an overlay is the right call, it’s one of the best values in concrete. If your slab really needs replacing, we’ll tell you that too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a concrete overlay? +
An overlay is a thin, bonded layer of specialized concrete applied over your existing slab. It restores a fresh surface and can add decorative color or texture, without the cost and mess of tearing out and repouring.
Is my concrete a good candidate for an overlay? +
Overlays work best over structurally sound concrete. If your slab has surface wear, staining, or minor cracking but a solid base, an overlay is often the smart, budget-friendly choice. We'll assess it honestly during your estimate.
How long does an overlay last? +
A properly applied and sealed overlay can last 10–20 years or more. Keeping it sealed and clean helps it look its best for the long haul.
