The Application
Crack Repair | Patch Repair | Service Prep
The old rule of thumb was old concrete with cracks, surface discoloration or imperfections must be removed and replaced. This is no longer necessary. With a cement based polymer-modified overlay you can transform your drab concrete patio, driveway, pool deck, stairs and sidewalks into a new decorative colored concrete surface. In many cases this will save you a significant amount of money, conserve resources, eliminate disposal problems and can usually be done in a few days.
Armor-Crete® polymer-modified overlay system is one way to upgrade your concrete. With a wide variety of colors and patterns available you are sure to select something to compliment your home.
If your concrete is in good condition but just needs a facelift this is a great alternative to improve the appearance.

Broom Finish Concrete
The Armor-Crete Fine Broom Finish was designed as a thin resurfacing application to repair and resurface old or new concrete. For years the only solution to repair cracked, stained or deteriorating concrete was to replace it with 4-6” of new concrete.

For new concrete surfaces that may have been damaged the fine broom finish provides an economical way to repair the surface and make it look like new again. It is also an excellent application to help protect concrete surfaces from freeze-thaw and salt damage in colder climates.
The Broom Finish System can be applied in a straight or swirl pattern. The broom finish can be done using a fine, medium or coarse texture and is most commonly used on driveways, walkways and patios. This system can be colored and applied with a variety of textures to create limitless designs to beautify your existing concrete.
