    Looking for a concrete resurfacing product

    What resurfacer have you had good luck with? I'm looking to do my front steps. Been looking at Quickcrete Re cap and Sakrete Flo coat. Also, Ardex CD looks to be about the best, but it's hard to find. Are there others worth looking at?

    Garage door outer trim fascia

    I'm looking to replace the aluminum fascia around my garage doors. It looks like this trim is sold on rolls, and then you have to bend it to shape. Is that correct? Is there a different trim I could use instead of the aluminum that may be more diy friendly? Thanks!

    Questions about sealing an asphalt driveway

    I had my driveway paved 3 years ago. The contractor did not recommend sealing it. As the time goes by, I feel like I should to help maintain it, not to mention improve the appearance. It has a few small cracks, but overall still in good shape with just a loss of color and the binder showing...

    Has anyone combined Racedeck freeflow with the diamond tiles?

    I've read through many threads but have only seen a few that combine the freeflow and diamond tiles. I live in a snowbelt area and get alot of snow so I would prefer the freeflow tiles underneath the vehicles (approx a 16' x 6' section). The rest of the garage would be the solid diamond tiles...
