Waterproofing: Peace of Mind

Water that enters your home through cracks in the concrete can turn to mold.

What's the solution? Concrete waterproofing and sealing. 

Concrete Waterproofing matching drywall on the right
Waterproofing isn't just for basements. Take a look at our recent concrete waterproofing project.

One side of this residential home's hallway is concrete. The other side is drywall. In order for the existing drywall to remain, well...dry, we waterproofed the existing concrete walls that lay opposite.

The concrete walls had moisture that was penetrating through. Water and drywall are a damaging mixture. So, we sealed and waterproofed the concrete wall and hallway.

Now, the concrete floor looks shiny and new. And, the leaky concrete wall matches the existing drywall.

To prevent mold and moisture from entering any living space in your home, have it professionally sealed by NW Creative Resurfacing. We can asses and analyze your living space.

Back Patio Resurfacing Project: Brings in extra light to their living space

Our concrete resurfacing projects can turn dull gray slabs into works of art. But not all of our exterior concrete resurfacing projects end up lighting up our client's homes.

Back Patio Resurfacing Project
But, a recent back patio resurfacing project is now lighting up our client's living room. We added a clear coat that makes the back patio surface shine. The reflection of the patio, especially during these dark winter months, brings in additional light to what's typically a darker side of the house.

Here's what our client had to say,

"Adam - the patio looks GREAT!  It really "pops" now and I am quite happy with it. As an aside, as you probably know, given my patio cover and the very tall cedars behind the house, the patio does not get much sun, for the most part.  

Now, in the winter, as the sun moves further south, I do get a lot more sun than in other months.  With the addition of the clear coat, the patio now shines, almost mirror like.  This REALLY reflects into the living room and REALLY lights up!  Cool!  Very cool!  

Thanks for everything"

To Cool...Cobalt Blue...

Kobalt Tool Blue
Talk about 'manning up' your garage floor surface.

We recently completed a garage floor resurfacing project for a client who has a passion for his tools and garage accessories.

Such much in fact, our client asked NW Creative Resurfacing to match the color of his tool collection to the color of his garage floor. That's right. He requested that his extensive Kobalt tool collection, and his work benches, match the garage floor surface.

Durable Garage Floor Coatings
If you're not familiar with Kobalt tools, they're recognized by tool enthusiasts and gear heads by their brilliant cobalt blue appearance.

So, NW Creative Resurfacing found the perfect cobalt blue color to match the Kobalt tools. Now, he's got a durable garage floor surface that pops with cool cobalt blue color. 

What's so Green about this Blue?
NW Creative Resurfacing garage floor coatings consist of a recycled material and are environmentally friendly.

To Cool...Cobalt Blue Garage Floor
The environmentally friendly coating is extremely durable with excellent abrasion and chemical resistance rendering them non-slip. And our garage floor coatings are flexible making them chip and impact resistant.

What's your "too cool..." color?
Contact NW Creative Resurfacing today to find out what color possibilities are available for your garage floor resurfacing project. What kind of tool fan are you? We'll most likely have the color that suits you and your taste.

Concrete Resurfacing Projects: Interior, Exterior and more...

NW Creative Resurfacing specializes in residential and commercial concrete resurfacing.

Our most recent interior, exterior and commercial concrete resurfacing projects are perhaps what your dull gray concrete slabs are begging for.
Non-slip safe summer fun!

Pool Decks
Swimming pools and summertime equal fun. But a hot and slippery pool deck can cause the summertime blues. No one wants to take a spill onto concrete.

We recently applied a textured overlay to a client's pool deck. Now the pool deck is non-slip and a safer surface for summertime fun.  

Exterior Front Entry
Concrete slabs typically are used for front-entry ways. Over time they lose their luster and become cracked.

We offer a wide variety of styles
Enhance that dull gray concrete path with a slip-resistant decorative concrete coating. Choosing resurfacing over concrete removal will save you money, the mess and the noise. Your neighbors and guests will be impressed when they arrive at your front door.

Commercial Concrete Resurfacing 
Chemical resistant-maintenance free
Durability and practicality are often what our commercial clients ask for. High traffic areas with concrete floors need special attention.  

Public bathrooms in a commercial space are a good example. We recently resurfaced the concrete floors of a public bathroom commercial space.

The commercial property owner asked for something durable and practical. We used a durable concrete resurfacing coating. The new coating is chemical resistant, non-slip and maintenance free.

Interior Floor Resurfacing Ideas

Ever dreamed of a rustic Italian themed kitchen? Are you longing to add the look of a smooth-as-glass natural tile to your living room floor? 

Garage Floor that glows in the dark!
What about your basement living space? Are your drab concrete floors ready for something more?

Or, how about this? A glow-in-the-dark garage floor!

NW Creative Resurfacing can produce all of this and more…

Interior Floor Resurfacing
The weather outside has been frightening, but we’ve spent the winter months inside our client’s homes delighting. We’ve delighted our client’s by enhancing their existing concrete floors.

How do we do this? We use STARDEK coating systems. These high quality materials made of Acrylics, Binder Resins, Cements and Epoxies produce slip resistant finishes. And, the surfaces we enhance our client’s home or businesses with are oil, grease, rust, mildew and even acid resistant.

Current Interior Concrete Floor Projects

Kitchen Floor

Resurfacing with a tile-like look

A recent client wanted to add an “Italian Wine Feel” to her kitchen. She repainted her kitchen walls red and black producing a unique contrast to her clean white, modern kitchen cabinets.

We complimented this kitchen remodel by adding a hazelnut brown rustic-tile-look to the existing concrete floor. We used a finish of black grout lines and just a touch of red highlights.

Bellissimo! A kitchen that takes you to Tuscany.

Basement Living Space

Basements are cozy shelters in the winter months or cooling and cave-like during the summer months. Either way, your basement floors should be waterproofed and sealed to prevent leeks and mold development.

NW Creative Resurfacing specializes in basement waterproofing. But, our work doesn’t have stop there. We can also turn your basement floor into something more… 

Protect your basement: seal and waterproof
A recent basement concrete resurfacing project produced a polished concrete look for our client. How did we do that?

We diamond grind the existing paint off the concrete floor. Our grinders are hooked up to Hepa filtered vacuums for a dustless application.

Then, we epoxy off what paint is left and use a high solid, polyurethane sealer over that. The process eliminates VOC’s and toxic smells.

The results produced a perfectly polished concrete looking basement floor that is sealed and waterproofed.

Another satisfied customer!

Interior Concrete Resurfacing: quality and communication counts

Are you a homeowner or rental property owner in need of concrete interior floor repair?

Don't replace it, reface it!
Wear and tear on your concrete interior floors due to high traffic areas, pets, renters or even after a remodel is unsightly and difficult to fix.

You could just throw another rug over those damaged or worn areas. Or you can consider the alternative to replacing the entire concrete floor, consider concrete resurfacing. Why concrete resurfacing?

Concrete resurfacing is an efficient and effective alternative to a complete concrete floor cut our and removal. Just think of the mess involved with concrete removal, not to mention the time it takes. And, if you're turning around the home to rent or sell, time is money $$$.

He even went back to do some touch up work afterwords due to some scratches caused by our renter. He is honest, trustworthy and wants the client to be happy even if it means he spends more time on a job than he anticipates."

Thanks Robert!
