Over-Eze Concrete Overlay contains a finely-dispersed proprietary blend of fibers for increased tensile and flexural strengths, and improved durability, as well as added flexibilizers, plasticizers and finishing agents that help minimize efflorescence formation and freeze-thaw related spalling and cracking surface degradation. Over-Eze stampable overlay has a light gray or white base color that can accept integral color pigments or TI Dust on Color Hardener for color modification during application, or can be modified after placement and cure with either acid stain or water-based stains for desired effects. Over-Eze Overlay is a pre-blended polymer-modified, non-shrink, cementitious overlay for resurfacing concrete flatwork. It has held up to the abuse of indoor and outdoor traffic, including freeze-thaw conditions. This decorative concrete overlay is an all-in-one bag, so just add the appropriate amount of water. Some concrete resurfacing products require you to add an expensive liquid polymer to the mix. Over-eze concrete overlay screeds out easily and can be troweled or re-troweled without the sticky, frustrating mess found in many concrete overlay products. Over-Eze stampable overlay and concrete resurfacer not only exceeds many thin concrete overlay specifications but is also application friendly.

Always remember though…there could be extra costs for demolition, prep work such as scraping, chipping and grinding away old material, crack bridging and repair work that must be done before you can overlay, etc. I’ve broken the rates into easy to understand and pretty accurate pricing categories…which work, because this is the rule of thumb that a vast majority of contractors use when pricing their jobs.
