Conclusion
If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative and are moving out of your private property aesthetically speaking resurfacing is your better option.
if value is of your main concern and you want it done once and done right then never look past the classic and traditional good old style of concrete. At first glance it may seem on the more expensive side, but long term just think about how much money you’re saving. How much more in value your home will increase, and the best part about it is that concrete if poured correctly will last you a lifetime.
We are big believers in paying ONCE and paying RIGHT!
You don’t want a product that is going to fall apart in 6 months, or if I use the pressure washer too close, you will blow a chunk off your driveway. We know you do not want that and that’s our reason why we don’t offer a service that can’t hold its own. would you spend your hard-earned money on a car that looks nice and is cheap but is going to start falling apart in 6 months’ time? No, you wouldn’t, so please DO NOT ever do it to your home.
