Material	Cost/Unit	Pros	Cons	Best For
Basic Concrete Overlay	$0.50-$1.50/sq ft material	Lowest cost, easy to apply over sound concrete, can be tinted	Thin coverage (1/8 inch) doesn't hide major flaws, less durable than polymer-modified options	Patios and walkways in decent condition needing a cosmetic refreshLowest cost, easy to apply over sound concrete, can be tinted
Polymer-Modified Overlay	$1-$3/sq ft material	Stronger bond to existing concrete, more crack resistance, takes color and texture well	Costs more than basic overlay, requires proper surface prep for adhesion	Driveways, pool decks, and any surface with moderate wear or previous patchingStronger bond to existing concrete, more crack resistance, takes color and texture well
Microtop / Microcement	$3-$8/sq ft material	Ultra-thin (1-2mm), smooth contemporary look, works for indoor and outdoor surfaces	Requires highly skilled applicator, surface must be perfectly clean and sound, higher material cost	Modern pool decks, covered patios, and interior concrete floors where a seamless finish is the goalUltra-thin (1-2mm), smooth contemporary look, works for indoor and outdoor surfaces
Stamped Concrete Overlay	$3-$8/sq ft installed	Mimics stone, brick, or slate patterns at a fraction of the cost of real material, adds significant visual interest	Pattern mats require a skilled contractor, repairs are harder to blend if damaged later	Driveways and patios where homeowners want the look of pavers or stone without full replacement costMimics stone, brick, or slate patterns at a fraction of the cost of real material, adds significant visual interest
Exposed Aggregate Overlay	$2-$5/sq ft installed	Natural pebble or stone surface finish, naturally slip-resistant, durable under vehicle traffic	Texture makes it harder to clean, not suitable for bare feet on coarser aggregates	Pool decks (barefoot-grade aggregate), driveways, and patios where slip resistance mattersNatural pebble or stone surface finish, naturally slip-resistant, durable under vehicle traffic
