Give your existing concrete porch or patio a facelift without the mess of demolition. Our stone overlay system in Granger bonds premium pavers directly to your sound concrete, creating a brand-new look that instantly modernizes your home's exterior.
Revitalizing Granger Entryways
Many majestic homes built in Granger during the 1990s and 2000s feature concrete front porches that are now beginning to show their age with surface pitting, hairline cracks, and discoloration. Tearing out a structural concrete porch is an invasive, expensive, and messy project that risks damaging your home’s foundation. Our stone overlay system offers a sophisticated alternative, allowing us to refinish your existing concrete with premium natural stone or high-end pavers. This process instantly modernizes the façade of your home, turning a drab gray slab into a welcoming limestone or slate-textured entryway that complements the brick and stucco exteriors common in neighborhoods like Farmington Square.
The success of an overlay in our climate depends entirely on moisture management. Since concrete is porous, trapping moisture between the old slab and the new stone can cause catastrophic delamination during a freeze. We utilize a specialized polymer-modified mortar and bonding agents specifically designed for exterior applications in USDA Zone 5b/6a. We also address vertical surfaces, capping the sides of your porch (the "risers") to create a seamless, solid-stone appearance. This renovation adds significant market value to your property and provides a durable, non-slip surface that withstands salt and snow shoveling, giving your entrance a second life that looks brand new.
We use specialized polymer-modified mortars to ensure a permanent bond between the new stone and the old concrete. This process is faster and cleaner than a full tear-out, making it an excellent choice for updating entryways and covered porches.
FAQ
Can you overlay my concrete front porch?
Yes. This is our most popular request in Granger. We can apply natural stone or thin pavers directly over your existing concrete porch, instantly giving your home a grand, estate-style entrance.
Will the stone pop off in winter?
Not with our process. We use specialized polymer-modified mortars designed for freeze-thaw climates. This allows the stone to bond aggressively to the concrete.
How thick is the overlay?
Typically 1-2 inches. We carefully measure your door thresholds to ensure the new stone doesn't block your front door from opening. If it's too tight, we have other solutions.
