Our expertise

YOUR CONCRETE IS STILL GOOD. IT WAS THE SURFACE THAT GAVE WAY.

Chipping, efflorescence, surface cracks, in most cases, the concrete slab underneath is still structurally sound. The problem is the surface that has taken years of freeze-thaw, salt, and wear and tear.

Acrylic resurfacing allows you to give a new surface to your concrete without demolishing or pouring a new slab. The coating is formulated specifically for the Quebec climate: flexible, resistant to de-icing salts, anti-slip and available in several finishes and colors.

OUR INTERVENTION

Assessment of the structural condition of the existing slab
Repair cracks and damaged sections if required
Surface preparation (high pressure cleaning, degreasing)
Application of the bonding primer
Applying the acrylic coating in layers (texture and color to choose from)
Non-slip finish adapted to use (garage entrance, balcony, staircase)
Cure and protection for 24-48 hours before use

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about acrylic resurfacing

  • Can acrylic resurfacing be applied over an old coating?

    It depends on the condition and nature of the old coating. An on-site assessment is required to determine if the existing surface is compatible. In some cases, complete stripping of the old coating is required to ensure the adhesion of the new product. Our experts tell you this during the diagnosis, at no cost. Call us at 438.225.2169.

  • How long does acrylic resurfacing last?

    With minimal maintenance, acrylic resurfacing done with tough quality products 8 to 15 years. MBNL exclusively uses products designed to withstand Quebec freeze-thaw cycles, which ensures maximum longevity in our climate.

  • Is concrete resurfacing covered by a warranty?

    Yes. All concrete resurfacing work carried out by MBNL is covered by a written guarantee. The conditions of the guarantee (duration, scope) are specified in your estimate before the start of the work. Ask for your free quote At 438.225.2169.

  • Is concrete resurfacing adapted to the Quebec climate?

    Yes, as long as you use the right products. MBNL selects materials formulated to withstand the cycles of Freeze-thaw severe ones from Quebec. A well-executed resurfacing with appropriate products offers a substantial lifespan and requires minimal maintenance. Contact us at 438.225.2169 for a free evaluation of your concrete surfaces.

  • What surfaces can be treated with concrete resurfacing?

    Concrete resurfacing is suitable for a wide range of surfaces: concrete slabs, driveways, balconies, stairs and pool contours. This technique is ideal for restoring a new appearance to cracked, worn or chipped concrete, without having to demolish and rebuild everything.

  • Does acrylic resurfacing require special maintenance?

    The interview is Minimal : regular cleaning with soap and water is sufficient to maintain the appearance and durability of the coating. It is advisable to avoid products based on de-icing salts containing chlorides, which can alter the surface in the long term. A sealant applied every 2 to 3 years extends the life of the coating.

  • What is acrylic resurfacing and how does it differ from standard concrete resurfacing?

    Acrylic resurfacing uses a coating based on acrylic resins applied to an existing concrete surface. Compared to standard concrete resurfacing, it offers greater resistance to stains, abrasion, and freeze-thaw cycles. It is particularly recommended for surfaces subject to intensive traffic or to the most demanding climatic conditions in Quebec.

  • Is resurfacing a permanent or temporary solution?

    Resurfacing is a solution sustainable when the underlying concrete surface is in good structural condition (no significant uplift, no unstable base). If concrete has profound structural problems, demolition and reconstruction may be necessary. Our experts assess the condition of your surface during the diagnosis and recommend the most cost-effective solution in the long term.

  • Do you have to evacuate the parking lot or the garage during resurfacing work?

    Yes The treated surface should be left without circulation during the drying and curing period, the duration of which varies depending on the product used and the weather conditions. Our team informs you of the specific deadlines before the start of work so that you can plan accordingly.

  • What are the steps of a concrete resurfacing project?

    The process consists of three main phases:

    1. Cleaning : the surface is stripped and rid of all traces of oil, paint or loose material.
    2. Preparation : the cracks are sealed and the surface is prepared to ensure the adhesion of the new coating.
    3. Application : the resurfacing product is applied in an even layer and finalized according to the desired aesthetic.
  • Is acrylic resurfacing slippery in winter?

    No The products used by MBNL incorporate anti-slip aggregates in the formulation or may receive it as a finish to ensure adequate grip even in humid or slightly snowy weather. If your surface requires a reinforced anti-slip finish, specify this during the diagnosis and we will include it in the estimate.

  • What surfaces can be treated with acrylic resurfacing?

    Acrylic resurfacing is applied to: concrete slabs, driveways, balconies, commercial and residential parking. It is a popular solution for condominiums and income buildings whose parking areas are showing signs of wear and tear.
