Resurfacing Concrete Steps - Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford

Mis leading

Sounds like a great mentor!

Send to Kevin darling lol

My concrete stairs are broken and sand and gravel are exposed. Do you recommend a complete tear down and a new construction? I’m on a tight budget. I’d rather repair it if possible.

if there was not already a brick risers, would you first coat them then the stair tread surfaces? also wondering what products you used - for cleaning the surface, for concrete repairs, and for the skim coat. can the same product be used to skim coat and resurface? have also seen where folks are using concrete mixes with other fortifiers to generate longevity. what do you recommend? i skim coated over the previous owner having artificial turf adhesived to the stairs. did not know to remove the adhesive, but it lasted about 12 years. now however, the cracking is substantial and not just on the surface. will need to craft the same batons to redo an entire broken corner, so am happy to have seen the how to in this vid. thanks!

What product did you use to resurface at the end

I was all into the video and it was over. Trying to see how to do this job! Have done several projects with help and saved tons. Proud of myself!

Half a video? No product details? Lame.

Je

This  is a waste of  good money and a lot elbow grease because it is only going to last about  one or  two years  then the resurfacer will  loosen up crumble and chip  away.    And also  getting concrete to have  solid bond when you use it  to fill  in  big missing corner  which has broken off  is not something that will work well.

No mention of product mixes used..

No post result??? Must have turned out like garbage then......

Wish you were in DC

Read comments and moved on thank you!😁

Totally reeks of effort.

Maybe it didn’t look so good.

Come do my steps. HELP!!!!

For the "vid not complete" complainers, you can pretty much imagine it's going to look like concrete...you know what that looks like right?

had this issue happen as well. harsh winters and road salt will destroy resurfacer after a few years. A teardown and repour is usually the best solution. Add structual fiber hairs to your wet concrete.

It will not last because it is made using Quikrete.......I am a stone mason apprentice, you must use portland cement. Mix 3 buckets of sand and ah bucket of portland type 2 cement...dry mix it real good....Also just saying who the fuck mixes up Quikrete with a power tool.....How does this have 96,000 views lol

Why dont u use rapid set instead

Where's the finished product!?! NOOOOO!!! The rest of my days will be spent wondering what those steps might have looked like after they were all done!

Why didn't you show the steps once it was completely cured and all the "crumbs" were cleaned up??????? I see you also haven't replied to previous questions. Why provide a video and then fail to follow up?

DANG THE VIDEO DIDNT FINISH..........................

Any reason for not finishing the vid?
