What it is, and why it matters.
Concrete overlays include trowel-down, spray-down and self-leveling layers that bond to a prepared slab. They hide damage, change color and create finishes that range from cloudy modern gray to textured, skid-resistant surfaces.
Concrete Coating installs overlays in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee for patios, pool decks, driveways, porches and interior floors. We pick the overlay type for the setting, prepare the slab carefully and seal the result.

20Concrete Overlays: common questions
What is the difference between an overlay and a coating?
An overlay is a cement-based layer that changes the surface texture and level. A coating is a thin resin film. Overlays are often chosen outdoors and for texture, and resin coatings are common in garages.
Will an overlay crack?
A well-installed overlay is less likely to show shrinkage cracks, but cracks that move in the slab beneath can reflect through. We explain what to expect.
How do I get an estimate for concrete overlays?
