Warning Signs

When Overlay Replacement Becomes Urgent

Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.

Peeling or Delaminating Overlay

Peeling or Delaminating Overlay

Lifting edges or bubbling surface indicate adhesion failure from skipped priming or freeze-thaw damage. Peeling accelerates—water infiltrates beneath and spreads deterioration to sound areas.

Extensive Chipping and Spalling

Extensive Chipping and Spalling

Deep pits and flaking from salt exposure compromise slip resistance and allow moisture penetration. Unrepaired damage progresses through winter cycles—resurfacing prevents full replacement.

Widespread Cracking from Substrate Movement

Widespread Cracking from Substrate Movement

Network cracks signal underlying concrete settlement or structural shifting. Cracks channel water to the base—addressing substrate issues first prevents recurring overlay failure.

Overlay explained

A bonded, textured layer that upgrades your concrete

Jewel Stone is a polymer-modified cement overlay applied in thin layers (about 1/16–1/2 inch) over sound concrete. It primes, bonds, and seals to block moisture and salt.

You keep the slab you have—no jackhammers—while gaining stone-like texture, colour options, and better grip for Ontario winters.

What Jewel Stone Overlay Includes:

Primer + polymer-modified cement + sealer for freeze–thaw resilience
Textures: broom for maximum grip or stone pattern for curb appeal
Typical lifespan 10–15 years with reseal every 3–5 years

Why homeowners pick overlay over replacement

Safety, speed, and curb appeal without demolition

Slip resistant in winter

Textured finish keeps footing secure in rain, snow, and slush.

Freeze–thaw & salt ready

Polymer mix plus sealer blocks moisture and de-icing salt from scaling.

Faster than tear-out

Porches wrap in 1–2 days; most driveways finish in 4–5 days with no jackhammers.

Custom colours & borders

Match nearby brick or stone with flecked finishes or charcoal edging.

Lower cost than re-pour

Overlay leverages your existing slab, avoiding demo and disposal costs.

What affects overlay cost

No prices online—just clear factors we scope on site

What Influences Your Quote?

Surface size & layout

Multiple landings or long drives need more material and time.

Prep and grinding

Old paint/epoxy, scaling, or uneven slabs require extra prep.

Access & height

Tight side yards or raised porches may need staging or scaffold.

Texture & colour complexity

Broom is quickest; multi-colour stone patterns add labour.

Sealing & maintenance plan

Initial sealing included; reseal every 3–5 years to keep grip and colour.

Our Transparent Pricing Promise

Overlay pricing typically comes in well below demolition and re-pour, while delivering a fresh, safer surface. If the slab is heaving or crumbling, we’ll flag replacement instead of overlay.
