By Betty Adams


Cement makes some of the best structures in the world. The buildings and structures made using it have been known to last for very many years. However, to maintain them in good shape and safety, there is the need for regular repair and maintenance as it may often develop holes, cracks, and erosion due to the different environmental and physical factors. The need for concrete refinishing New York comes in. Where there are steps to be followed in this to ensure achievement of the desired result.

The first step is cleaning the surface. Most of these have been coated with dirt mainly where they are used on a daily basis or soil, and sand has banked on them. This calls for the removal of this using a power washer. Doing this exposes the landing and reveals areas with cracks and weaknesses. However, it is crucial not to over wash to avoid adding more damage to the structure.

After cleaning evaluate the area that has been set for repair. Have a careful evaluation of the damaged [part so that resources can be set aside to make it up. As an expert, it is advisable to have the right estimates of the materials and time that are to be used in making the area. This helps to avoid the risks of loss and wastage.

Move on to smoothing the top. After the cleaning the landing, there still might be cracks and rough tops, this may make the resurfacing difficult. Remove this by smoothing it out so that once the mixture is spread, it covers it uniformly. This is done by sanding away, covering the cracks and holes with concrete and deep spalling. An eventual smooth surface is achieved.

On smoothing the surface carefully, mix and spread the concrete mixture over the place. It is vital to move very fast at this age to avoid the drying up of the spread before it completely covers the desired location. The spreading should be done using the appropriate smooth tools to avoid forming of bumps and valleys on it. Additionally, ensure that the spread is mixed in the right proportions.

Once the work is done cover it up to give it time to dry up. Prime it and the cover or spray the landing. Covering helps in preventing the formation of holes and valleys due to conditions such as raindrops or dirt. The material chosen to cover up the area should not be too heavy on the surface as it may destroy it.

When the area has dried up, proceed to color and sealing. Apply decorative are then applied to it. Another thing that can be done to enhance this is the application of a seal coat. This protects it from wearing out over time.

Finally, there is curing. Ongoing through these steps, wait for a period of forty-eight to seventy-two hours so that the coat and the decorates dry and stick on it. This is important as a rush after applying them may end up pealing them during the cleaning process. The results are evenly spread and attractive landings.
