What it is, and why it works.
A microtopping is a very thin, polymer-rich cement coating, often thinner than a credit card, that gives concrete a smooth, seamless, almost plaster-like surface. It can cover stains, minor imperfections and old coatings and can be tinted and troweled to create cloud-like movement.
It suits modern patios, interior floors, steps and walls where a continuous surface matters. We prepare, prime and trowel in multiple thin passes, then seal for protection. Many contemporary Nashville homes and renovations use it to unify old and new concrete.

Microtopping: common questions
Can microtopping be used outdoors?
Yes with the right product and sealer, though high-traffic or heavily exposed areas may benefit from a thicker overlay or textured finish.
Will it hide cracks?
It hides surface flaws but not structural movement; we repair cracks first.
