Many old concrete porches could be updated with an application of concrete resurfacing. There are many porches out there in dire need of repair or replacement. If you have an old deteriorating porch you have two options; repair and apply a concrete resurfacing finish or replace it.
If you are lucky and your porch is in sound structural condition, such as the one in the photograph and are willing to risk the ability of the new material to bond well to your old concrete then you may consider having your porch repaired and resurfaced for about 1/2 the price of replacement. Of course each porch will have its’ own set of circumstances and prices can vary widely depending on how much work has to be done.
Each individual porch is different and may require differing techniques to help preserve their surfaces but for an nice decorative finish and virtually trouble free maintenance then a concrete resurface application should not be ruled out. From a simple troweled on grey top coating to a highly decorative and appealing flagstone appearance with mortar joints and color concrete resurfacing has a broad range of applications.
Yes for about 1/2 the cost of replacement you can have a beautiful new concrete overlay system installed, textured and colored to look like a gorgeous and expensive flagstone!

Since the entire overlay is all the same color at this point you have to look close to see the stone carving that has been done. This overlay was placed at an approx. depth of 1/2\\" - 1\\" to provide the needed fall for draining from surface water and to provide enough material for an flagstone texture application.")
