Patio Resurfacing — common questions

Do I need to tear out my old patio to resurface it?

Usually not. Most patios don't need to be torn out — if the existing slab is structurally sound, we resurface over it with a bonded overlay, which is faster and less disruptive than a full replacement.

How much does patio resurfacing cost?

Patio overlays follow similar per-square-foot pricing to driveway resurfacing — roughly $3–$7 per square foot for a standard overlay, more for stamped or decorative finishes. Your exact price depends on size and condition, confirmed after a real assessment.

Can a resurfaced patio hold up to Charleston's heat and humidity?

Yes — the overlay finishes we use are chosen to hold up to Charleston's heat, humidity, and storm cycles, not just look good on installation day.

What if my patio has drainage or standing water issues?

That's worth addressing before or during resurfacing rather than after. Standing water usually points to a drainage or grading issue underneath the slab, and resurfacing on top of an unresolved drainage problem is only a temporary fix.
