Concrete Resurfacing - FAQs
1. How do I get started?
Simple, just call us (206) 723-7232 and we'll talk about your project & schedule a time to come out and take a look at it.
2. What is the actual product?
Our waterproofing and concrete resurfacing is manufactured by Sundeck Products>
3. How thick is it?
Sundek® is about as thick as 2 quarters stacked on top of each other. (Just under 1/4") However, Sundek® can be used as a blending tool to feather uneven surfaces up to 2" thick.
4. How is Sundek® applied?
Please see Installation Steps
5. What does it look like?
Please see our photos page.
6. What colors does it come in?
Please see our colors & styles page.
7. How long does it take?
Most jobs can be completed in 4 dry days.
8. Is it cool to walk on?
Yes! Sundek is cooler than typical gray concrete, exposed aggregate, pavers, tile and even epoxy rock applications.
9. Is it Kool Deck?
No, Kool Deck is a product designed to form a mechanical bond on freshly poured concrete. (Within the first 5 hours.) SUNDEK is formulated with a chemical bond; therefore, SUNDEK can be applied to new or old concrete.
10. Will pool water stain Sundek®?
No. The standard Sundek classic texture and masonry effects have 2 layers of an acrylic finish coat. These acrylic finishes provide a durable non-porous surface which make it stain resistant and easy to maintain.
11. Will Sundek® fade?
No. The Sundek color is an integrated color with the final three applications being an acrylic finish so it is not susceptible to fading.
12. Can you correct drainage and low spots?
We can fill and smooth low spots to allow better drainage
especially when we are notified ahead of time of a particular problem area.
13. How do you treat cracks?
Most cracks are filled with urethane.
14. Will the cracks reoccur?
Though we do everything possible to treat concrete cracks, the truth of the matter is that
they may recur. If they do, it is usually in the form of a hairline
crack. We offer a finish affect known as Custom Scoreline which helps blend cracks into the overall look
of the deck in an attractive way. Click on Concrete Resurfacing Main on the left and scroll down to the Custom Scoreline section for more info.
15. Can you apply Sundek® over paint on concrete?
No, we must remove paint prior to Sundek installation, this usually adds about a day to the overall job.
16. Can the material be applied to steps?
Yes. Sundek can be applied to concrete steps including risers and treads.
17. Can Sundek® be applied to walls?
Yes. Sundek can be applied to vertical surfaces. From the properly sealed backyard retaining wall to the multi-storied building, SUNDEK can be applied on exterior and interior walls.
18. Do you apply the material to cantilever faces and coping stones?
Yes we do apply Sundek to cantilever faces and coping stones. Even though the application over coping stones is a matter of personal preference, it is often advisable to Sundek them unless they are exceptionally new. (The stones are porous like concrete). If not surfaced, the coping will tend to look old and dirty after the SUNDEK installation is complete. In addition, you can add our Masonry Brick patterns to copings and cantilevers at a fraction of the cost of real pavers.
19. Can you use different colors?
Yes - please see our colors & styles page.
20. How do I clean my Sundek®?
Please visit our maintenance section.
