BEFORE YOU COMMENT... Just to be clear, when I said that "You saved yourself thousands of dollars" I am not talking about my little slab of concrete. I'm talking about the typical driveway or porch project ( large or small ) that can cost $5,000-$10,000 if you hire a professional to rip up, haul away and re-pour. Yes, I could have completely replaced this particular slab for about $30 but the point of this video is to demonstrated to my viewers how to make this type of repair and give them more options. This is a great way to save MONEY, TIME and HASSLE if traditional methods are not an option.
I have a cracked cement drive way in Southern New England. We get ice and snow . Would this repair hold up the weather and weight ? What about snow plows? Thanks .
It is easy for you. But it might be hard for me. I will try it. I hit your subscribe.
Tell me about it. Just had my drive done in concrete. 25' wide x 277' long. = $48,800.00 bucks!
How about winter? What is your geographic location? If you are in California Elmer's Glue will work.
@@Torq-wy2cr I need to do the same except I can't bare the thought of seeing the first crack after I drop 50k on the job. Eeeek
You just gave me the push and knowledge to resurface my drive until I'm ready for the pros. Good looking out for this video!!! With God all things are possible!
As a single mom with a new home just learning all these new things this is the best video I came across it’s simple straight to the point thank you
I just saw this comment! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Keep being an awesome amazing mom! ☺️
Ditto her comment. Exact same. THANK YOU
Tripped over your video today and now I have solutions to 2 home problems! Thank you! Also, your fire pit is beautiful! I love the new contrasting colors! Looking forward to checking out your other videos! Thanks again!! 😊
Hey Michael, in your video you stated that you hadn't found a stain that you haven't fallen in love with. Let me recommend one: It is made by Smith Paints; It is called Smith's Color Floor. It comes in array of colors and is designed for concrete. It comes in a one quart concentrated bottle an it is recommended to mix it 4: 1 with purified water. 1 qt. makes a gallon. This stain is polymer moified and is amazing. I have been using this stain for over 20 years. I don't know why it isn't more popular. Hope this helps, Lee.
Did you have to order from the company?
Thanks so much for the video! We save over $3000 by resurfacing our small front porch and sidewalk. Only cost us about $100 in supplies! Wish I could show you the before and after!
nice tips. fire place looks like a trip hazard to me after a few beers. lol
Practical video! Thank you. I've worked with this product incorrectly in the past, and failed, your tips are critical...broom & squegee at the ready...as well as consistency of pancake in the mix... Much appreciated. Really great content on your channel overall...concise and entertaining.
I appreciate that your videos show different applications for different types of concrete products.
Thanks, Michael, for your enthusiasm and brilliant ideas to repair cement cracks and resurfacing. Bravo 😊
I was just searching up “how to concrete over concrete” yesterday! Thanks for this!
That’s awesome! Glad I could help!
Found this video today. Thank-you! I have asked concrete guys to recoat our garage apron that is repaired from cracks and they want to rip it out and redo it. I will try this...also have small crumbling spot on a sidewalk slab. This will definitely fix that!! Appreciate the help.
You are welcome! ☺️
0:50 oh my gyoddddddddd. this is EXACTLY what i need. you not only mentioned what to use as a patch but you SHOWED IT. and mentioned cure times. i'm gaming out my driveway RIGHT NOW, in my head as you speak. there's lots of cracks, weeds filling in, it's driving me crazy!!
love your channel, man! such helpful info, great way you do tuts, but also your energy and humor is just nice as hell.
Thank you for this video. I'm half way through my project and would not have thought to try this if I hadn't come across this vid.
Thanks for taking the time to create this video. Very helpful.
This is so cool! I was considering using the NewCrete but opted not to and I'm glad I did, because I don't have the squeegee. Also, I love what you did with the fire pit. When I wanted to make my retaining driveway wall more uniform in color, old concrete, new concrete, I just added regular paint to a slurry of cement a painted the retaining wall. Looks good.
I'm more than a little skeptical that none of the cracks will 'telegraph' back through. If they do not, then this is a marvelous material.
I certainly looks nice, but when weight is applied as well as change of seasons, I will be interested to see how it held up.
Thank you! I have to cover my walkway and front slab to my home. This is not only doable for me but also affordable. Keep 'em coming! I'm your new Sub!
I use both of these materials all the time on concrete repair work.
excellent! I was trying to find a way to blend our new concrete ramp with a very old cracked concrete porch... this is perfect and looks so easy
Beautiful job! I'm going to try it myself. Thanks for the idea.
Well Done!!! Awesome information and beautifully produced.
Thanks for the video, good information. I wasn't too sure what to do about cracks in my patio until now.
Michael, I watch every video you do and always learn from you! ....❤you, keep going!
Thank you SO MUCH!
Thank you brother. You just solved a major problem I’ve been thinking on for years.
Can you drive on it
Came across your Vid. Those that put hard work to show others how to do projects in a way that not only saves money but has a quality aspect to it is great in anyone’s book. Although that does not mean that all will have the same results, most will. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing fix to the concrete slab, but oh my goodness at that fabulous fire pit. Outstanding!
Excellent video. Thinking of using Cement all to fill in a sunken section of mt sidewalk.
Hi Mike and everyone I was looking for a video on what would be the best concrete to use and it didn't take too long to dry and was easy to work with because I wanted to make a head stone for my Mom's grave and your videos popped up and Yes Yes Yes cement all is the best concrete I have ever seen in the whole life and Yes it's the Best I just Truly Love it and Thanks for all your help with everything GOD BLESS you and your family and friends and pets if you have any Bless you all for Today Always and Forever and Eternally Amen 💝💖🥰😘😍👍👍👍 Love your videos and definitely Love your little dance on your newly finished concrete platform Thanks again GOD BLESS 💝💝💝
Thank you so much for making it simple and easy for someone that doesn’t have any construction skills to use. I have several slabs of sidewalk that have cracks in it. The only thing that has pebbles and therefore it would only make it smooth. The rest will be different however I’m sure you can make a video how to bring that outafter your fireplace. Thank you again for helping a novice.🎉🎉😊😊
That’s impressive, I love the finish.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.
Great job! I'm saving this for the spring
I just love your videos dude. Great info and personality plus!
Good looks brother Michael… we love the aesthetic of concrete. … so much so, that we designed an built a mid century industrial modern house with steel and concrete!
That repair looks great! I'm going to try this on a few cracks I have in my back yard sidewalk, shed slab, and the slab I for my bbq grill and smoker.
Great video! I did not think that would do so well being so thin, but color me surprised.
My goodness I’m so glad I found this video. Thank you so much for sharing
This is perfect, I am going to try this for my garage floor. THANKS!
I like that New Concrete, and what a money saver!
I will try this process and product. Thank you
Good video. Don’t feed the trolls, your work wins on its own.
You are very talented in the stuff you create. Thanks for the content 👍
Thanks Michael, good to know. Thanks for your demo. 😊
Excellent resurfing.
I like the Valspar lear coat Wet Look, on the concrete benches I make. I think Micheal should seal it up to keep it from fading. I think those front steps would cool with an acid stain and shiney coat.
Love the channel and it came out great. I was recently contemplating doing this on a similar size slab, but when i did the math it was cheaper to just buy some 80 lb bags and start new. Don't know if you're sponsored but that product is pretty pricey.
I could however see it working on a larger slab, like your porch where it's not feasible to just replace the piece..
Btw, your school janitor 87 key chain is killing me 😆 🔑 🗝 🔐
Awesome video! Thank you! Always looking for great DIY videos😊
Hit it with that F150 again!!! We need to see how durable it is.
You know… I highly considered it but don’t know why I didn’t do it lol 😂 next video lol
@@MichaelBuilds You're the best!
Do it
@@MichaelBuilds😂😂
I have a 50 yr. old concrete lake seawall in michigan that is just now starting to show the first signs of its age... this product looks exactly what I need...bonus for me: my son spent a summer doing concrete during college..
Whenever my sons gave me any pushback on doing jobs around the house I always would tell them, why do you think I had boys for?
They are grown men now and always ready to help but miss the days when they were growing up.
That's very cool 👍 im SUPER impressed !
So you could add color to that.
Love it Great video
Great video. I need to repair some areas in my almost 50 years driveway.
Nice intro to a couple of products that might be useful. Late last fall, I poured a 10X11 slab, solo. My first pour of this size and the surface turned out a bit rough. I'll consider these products and techniques to prepare the slab for ceramic tile, after the roof is up. Thanks!!
Brilliant finish. Thanks for sharing. :-)
I m going to try this in summer time! Thanks.
Well done Michael & that fire pit looks great after adding that colored cement! 👍👍
Thank you!
Thank you! I’ve been meaning to do that for a while haha
Very cool.. Will try that option on projects where budgets are tight
Hell yeah! That what these kinda projects are all about! 👍🏻
Great info! Enjoyed from Texas!
How about a video on the durability of a material poured over an existing slab.
Or a 1 year f/u video (could be a Short) AND was it just for Foot traffic, or ok for a Driveway??
Drivewa. What does you common sense tell you? No Bueno.
The 2 year front porch wasn't good enough?
Why don't you make that video
How about you make a video of doing it the proper way? 😂🙄
Dude, you're awesome, I learn a lot from you.
Great video! Thank you!😊
Amazing fire place, I love it!
I remember this little slab. Isn't this the one you made with dry-pour and then strength tested with your truck lol? Glad to see it looking fresh again!
Great. Now I have another job to tackle! 🙄🤣🤣💕
Looks great.... thanks for sharing
Awesome. Just awesome job!
Wow! Impressive. Great vid. Thanks
I must say I do love what you’ve done to the fire pit it looks awesome and very curative I must say. Almost forgot to mention the slab also looks great .

Hey Michael thank you for your videos there great! Just curious what your feelings are about sealers on new and old concrete?
You just earned a new subscriber! Thank you so much
Nice video, it helps with some of my problems, aka filling in cracks..
What could I use to resurfy a 24'x32' slab?
Ohla! Nope, the patch work with Quickrete looked great alone. Love this! Like and Subscribed…
Can’t wait to do this
Great video, glad to have found you! Would it hold up for patching the exterior side of a house foundation that has snow sitting against it all winter?
Nice. My pool deck has a bit of sag in one spot. Im gonna foam it to lift it and then use some of this to re surface with same texture. Nice nice nice.
Hello !
just the info i needed for a project , thanks so much for the share.
craig
Nice presentations.
I just had my patio done and it doesn't look good at all. I just spent $8,600 and can't hire another peofessional to repair it. After seeing your video, i think i will be able to reaurface it without breaking the bank. I'm 52 years old with a bad back, but i think i can do it. Thank you for this video. It acrually gave me hope.
Such a useful video that can be used in so many places and more importantly, save a lot of money! Great job and thanks for sharing!
Thanks man!
Thank you so much. You are the best. I will try em soon
Can I do this for my drive way? Thank you.
Very good job !
Nice job!!
That was a great video, thank you! I had no idea you could put back together a piece of concrete that easy. I also love your positive attitude and demeanor. The choice of music was great too!!
Great ideas from this video for me!
I’m a DIYer and this would work for me!
Looks awesome!
Respect, bro! Wow.
Thanks. Nice video
Great job. 👍👍👍👍😀😀
Hey Michael, Do you know if the Cement All could be mixed very runny and used to "self level" a few bird baths in a patio slab?
Great video thank you! Are you able to add color to the top coat?
Thanks, because I'm working on a project of driveway extension and am adding slabs, not filling the entire area at once. I'm wondering if the top will crumble or maybe cracks will develop. Well at least I know I can repair it down the road if I did not do a good job.
Great as usual !!!
Thank you!
How would that hold up to chemicals or salts used on roads during winter snows and snow melt. I was thinking of using this to resurface my garage floor. Problem is snow does melt onto it during winter months. Would I need to apply a sealant and which sealant is best so that it is not slippery?
That looks excellent for well supported stuff like your front stairs. For a slab on soil, I bet it will break as soon as the soil expands or contracts with the seasons.
very cool...Thank you
We had some slabs that lifted from roots. I ground them down to remove the lip, would there be any special prep on those sections where I exposed the aggregate if I was to use this product to cover it up??
