Concrete Resurfacing in Baton Rouge, LA
Baton Rouge has some of the oldest concrete in the parish. C&C Concrete Design resurfaces worn patios, pool decks, driveways and floors with decorative overlays built for Louisiana heat and humidity.
Is your Baton Rouge concrete a candidate for resurfacing?
If the slab is structurally sound — no major settling, no large sections heaving — it's almost always a better candidate for resurfacing than replacement. That covers most of what we see: surface cracking, faded or peeling old paint/sealer, stained or pitted pool decks, driveways that have gone gray and blotchy. We check the slab on-site before recommending anything.
Surfaces We Resurface Around Baton Rouge
Pool decks (especially older backyard pools near LSU Lakes, Sherwood Forest, and the Jefferson/Perkins corridor where a lot of decks are 20-plus years old), patios and covered porches on older brick homes, driveways, and interior floors in both homes and commercial spaces downtown and around the medical district. Depending on the look and substrate, we typically recommend Knockdown Texture Overlay for slip resistance around pools and patios, Trowel Texture Overlay or Wood Look Overlay for a smoother architectural finish, Stained Concrete or Polished Concrete for interior floors, and Flake Floor Coating for garages and commercial floors that need to handle heavy traffic and chemicals.
How the Process Works & Why Baton Rouge Chooses C&C
Most Baton Rouge jobs run 3 to 4 days start to finish. We grind out and V-groove any cracks, fill them with a two-part epoxy and chopped fiberglass filament (that alone eliminates roughly 90% of cracks from coming back), then apply the overlay system in the base coat, design layer and clear coat you choose. Existing control joints stay in the slab and get masked off, not coated, so the concrete can still expand and contract normally. If it's a pool deck, the pool does not need to be drained. Chris and Tammy Cranford have run C&C for more than 11 years, and Chris is on-site for the walkthrough and the work itself, not just the sales call. Resurfacing typically runs 20-25% less than demolition and a new pour, and finished systems test at roughly 7,000 psi versus 2,000-2,500 psi for the original slab underneath.
