Microtopping & Concrete Overlays in Redlands, done right.
Thin cementitious overlays that give old concrete a completely new surface, indoors or out. We work Redlands from the historic Smiley Park district out through the surviving orange groves, with our own crew on every job — no subcontractors, no surprise charges, and one number to call from the first estimate to the finished concrete coating.
We apply microtopping & concrete overlays across Redlands and the surrounding area, including San Bernardino, Moreno Valley, Rialto, Riverside.
What's included
- Applied directly over existing concrete — no demolition, no new slab
- Knock-down texture, flagstone, tile, brick, cobblestone and more
- Existing cracks worked into the pattern rather than left as a flaw
- Dexite overlay system
- Patios, pool decks, driveways, walkways and entries
- Costs less than removing and repouring the slab
Built for Redlands homes.
Redlands has one of the best-preserved historic housing stocks in the region, and a lot of our work here is on concrete attached to houses of real architectural value. That changes the brief. On a Victorian or Craftsman property the concrete should look like it belongs to the house, not like it was done last spring.
Redlands also sits high enough at the eastern end of the valley to get a wider temperature range than the cities west of it, which is another reason to prepare cracks properly rather than hoping an overlay hides them.
Historic property work is mostly a discipline of restraint. Penetrating stains, honest concrete finishes and color that suits the period tend to be right; bright modern coatings and high gloss tend to be wrong, however well they are executed.

Microtopping & Concrete Overlays in Redlands, questions
Do you do steps and porches as well as flatwork?
Yes, and on older Redlands houses that is frequently the more important part of the job. Steps take the most wear and are the first thing anyone touches, so they are worth getting right.
What patterns can I have?
From a basic knock-down texture through to flagstone, tile, brick and cobblestone. We offer Dexite, an overlay system built for exactly this, and the design goes on directly over the existing concrete.
How long does it last?
It is a cementitious overlay bonded to a properly prepared slab, so its life comes down to the prep underneath it — which is the part of the job we have spent fifty years getting right.
Advice on microtopping & concrete overlays
Why Sealed Concrete Turns White or Cloudy, and What Fixes It
A stained patio or driveway that has gone white, milky or cloudy usually has a sealer problem, not a concrete problem. There are four common causes, each with a different fix. Here is how to tell which one you have.

Most Southern California homes sit on a slab that can be stained and lived on once the old flooring comes up. Here is what is usually under there, what stain hides, what it does not, and how the job runs.

Driveway paint looks great for a season and then lifts where the tires sit. The reason is the film, not the brand, and it is why exterior concrete should be stained rather than painted.
