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
When is Jewel Stone Overlay Needed?
Salt scaling
Slip risk
Surface fatigue

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.

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.
