Refinishing Concrete Steps.
Anybody got any recommendations for products to refinish concrete steps? Selling my house and need to do something with the front and a tear out is not in the budget. I've used the light weight stuff inside but have no idea how it ill hold up outside. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Refinishing Concrete Steps.
Quickcrete patcher if needed followed by resurfacer is probably the cheapest route and it has a good potlife if your not used to doing this kind of repair. Power wash completely first. Both patcher and resurfacer mixes with just water and a drill and paddle. Its has a polymer base for good adhesion properties as long as the substrate isn't painted or sealed. The only thing with this product is it should be sealed after install is complete and has cured. I am pretty sure Home Cheapo carries this line. Hope this helped

Thanks Hoven, just did it two days ago with a concrete buddy of mine and it turned out reall y well. $40 on materials and a couple of beers is a lot cheaper than 3K ripping out and replacing the entire thing.

Discontinued tile, it's cheap, looks really good, etc.
