Microtopping & Concrete Overlays in San Marcos

Built for San Marcos homes.

San Marcos sits inland in North County, built across rolling hills with a lot of relatively recent development. The concrete is generally young and sound, the climate is moderate by our standards, and much of the work is finishing slabs properly rather than rescuing them.

Inland enough to escape serious salt exposure and high enough to avoid valley-floor heat extremes, San Marcos is genuinely forgiving ground for a coating — which means the finish is limited by the standard of preparation rather than by the climate.

Newer housing means newer concrete, and newer concrete in a moderate climate is about the easiest starting point there is. Most San Marcos work is a garage floor, patio or pool deck that was left bare when the house was built and is now being finished to a proper standard.

San Marcos FAQs

Microtopping & Concrete Overlays in San Marcos, questions

Is the climate here hard on concrete?

Less than most of our area, honestly. Far enough inland to miss the salt, high enough to miss the worst valley heat. In San Marcos the quality of the preparation decides the result far more than the weather does.

What about the cracks in my patio?

We can work them into the design. Laid into a stone-like pattern, a crack stops reading as a flaw and becomes part of the joint line.

What patterns can I have?

From a basic knock-down texture through to flagstone, tile, brick and cobblestone. We offer Dexite, an overlay system built for exactly this, and the design goes on directly over the existing concrete.
