At Bullion Coatings, we’re committed to transforming your spaces with high-quality concrete resurfacing and helping you maintain them. Proper care and maintenance are crucial for extending the life of your resurfaced concrete and keeping it looking its best for years to come. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to maintain your concrete surfaces effectively.
General Maintenance Tips for All Surfaces
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your surfaces by sweeping or blowing off dirt, leaves, and other debris. For indoor surfaces, regular dust mopping will prevent dirt accumulation.
- Mild Detergent Wash: Use a mild detergent and water for occasional deeper cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the sealer or the surface finish.
- Immediate Spill Cleanup: To prevent stains, clean spills immediately. Use non-abrasive materials to avoid scratching the surface.
Specific Care Instructions by System
Stamped Overlay & Stamped Concrete Rehab
- Sealer Reapplication: Depending on foot traffic and exposure, reapply a high-quality sealer every 2 to 3 years to protect the color and texture.
- Avoid Sharp Objects: Prevent scratches or gouges by avoiding sharp objects and heavy machinery directly on the surface.
Concrete Staining
- UV Protection: Ensure the sealer contains UV protectants for outdoor stained surfaces to minimize fading over time.
- Wax for Indoors: To protect indoor stained floors, consider using floor wax over the sealer.
SUNDEK Classic Texture
- Non-abrasive Cleaning: Use a soft brush or mop for cleaning. Avoid steel wool or other abrasive materials that could damage the texture.
- Check for Wear: Regularly inspect for signs of wear or fading, particularly in high-traffic areas, and consult with us for touch-up services if needed.
Specific Care Instructions by System
Epoxy Coatings & Polyurea Polyaspartic Coatings
- Chemical Spills: Clean any chemical spills promptly to avoid surface damage.
- Hot Tire Precaution: Be cautious of hot tires on epoxy-coated garage floors, as they can cause the coating to peel. Allow tires to cool before parking on a newly coated surface.
Limestone Overlays, Tuscan Overlays & Concrete Microtopping
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or mop with a pH-neutral cleaner for routine cleaning.
- Scratch Avoidance: Place protective pads under furniture and avoid dragging heavy objects across these surfaces.
Seasonal Maintenance Tips
- Winter Care: Avoid de-icing chemicals on resurfaced concrete, as they can cause surface damage. Instead, use sand for traction if necessary.
- Summer Protection: Regular rinsing outdoor surfaces during hot months can help prevent buildup and staining from natural elements.

While regular homeowner maintenance is crucial, some aspects of concrete care are best left to professionals, such as sealant reapplication or repair work. Bullion Coatings offers maintenance services to ensure your surfaces remain in top condition.
