extending concrete driveway, recoating existing? (color, price, repair, cracks)

[grannynancy]

We would like to extend our driveway to add a parking pad.

Is it possible to recoat [concrete] the existing driveway to ensure it has similar color and finish as the new section - also to repair some cracks which have not yet caused any buckling?

I would also like to rescore the lines to have smaller slabs? Maybe just aesthetic - I imagine there is rebar under themthar slabs.

Plan on getting a contractor to do it - just want advice going into it.

Hi, recoating can be done but the concrete will really never look that great, it depends on your budget. It is a quick and cheap solution and does not look horrible, but for a small investment, you can get new concrete that will last a long time and look great. Especially if you are just extending an existing driveway and adding a small area, a job like that does not sound very big and would be priced nice.

Good luck however you decide but I would just invest a bit and get new concrete, for the cracks, consult with the contractor and see what your options are.
