Proper prep before applying coating is a must when it comes to concrete resurfacing. Residential and commercial properties often need resurfacing for their new or old concrete, and the proper technique can make all the difference to the end result. Taking responsibility for structural integrity in terms of durability, aesthetics, and structure can really help in the application and final achievement for a building. Just as a job needs to be maintained and kept at a consistent level all the way through from beginning to end to turn out perfectly, the proper steps and measures taken before the rest of the work is started also determines how long the job will last and add years on to the expected life of the building once the work on it has been done.

Getting a beautiful new surface that looks great can be easy if done properly. A certain level of preparation before coating seals the deal and makes sure there are no spots or seams that need to be repaired and getting that done before proceeding to coating. Technology can be used to locate wet insulation, removing deterioration of the membrane and preventing damage. Then surface preparation and application of coating can begin. In addition the surface has to be clean and dry before coating. Primer is customarily used for many surfaces and is sometimes a prerequisite prior to elastomeric coating. Prep also includes making sure it won't be raining or heavy moisture in the air prior to coating. Prepping and coating in weather with moisture or precipitation will interfere.
