LA JOLLA

La Jolla homes sit in one of the toughest environments in San Diego for exterior concrete: right on the ocean, in salt air, under a marine layer that can hang around all morning. Creek Stone Resurfacing, Inc. is a family-owned company based just up the road in Sorrento Valley, so La Jolla is close to home for us. We are licensed in California (License #971871) and insured, and we have been resurfacing, coating and polishing concrete since 2014.

Ocean-side concrete: what we see in La Jolla

In La Jolla Shores, Bird Rock, the Village and the streets below Mount Soledad, exterior concrete tends to show the same things:

• Surfaces that stay damp from the marine layer and sea spray
• Rust stains from iron railings, gates and patio furniture
• Worn, pitted or spalled spots on older patios, steps and walkways
• Concrete that simply doesn’t match a recently remodeled home

Up on Mount Soledad and in the Muirlands, many homes have terraced yards with patios, stairs and retaining-wall walkways. Those surfaces matter for both looks and footing.

Patios, terraces and walkways

For most La Jolla patios and terraces, we recommend a concrete overlay. We install Rhino and Westcoat overlay systems over your existing slab, which avoids demolition on hillside or tight-access lots. Pick a clean solid color for modern architecture, or a decorative variation finish in Arizona, Granite, Calico, Smoke or Natural blends for a softer, stone-like look. Spalls, chips and cracks are repaired during prep. We repair cracks of any size, and repaired cracks don’t come back as a problem. See concrete overlays and home exterior floors.

For balconies and decks over living space, which are common in La Jolla condos and multi-level homes, we install Westcoat waterproofing membranes. We also offer Tidalstone, a decorative finish from Westcoat.

Pool decks and spa areas

Pool and spa decks need grip when wet. Granite Grip is our textured, slip-resistant coating with a speckled granite look. It takes about three days on a typical job and is a no-maintenance finish, which La Jolla homeowners appreciate on a property they want to enjoy rather than maintain. See pool deck resurfacing.

Polished concrete inside the home

Polished concrete is a popular interior finish in modern La Jolla remodels. We grind and polish slabs to 400 or 800 grit, then densify and guard the surface for a durable, low-sheen to high-sheen finish. We also do concrete staining (stain and seal) for added color. If the slab has moisture issues, we can install a moisture barrier before the finish goes down. See concrete polishing.

Garage floors

A finished garage floor fits the rest of a La Jolla home. Choose epoxy flake or polyaspartic flake for a durable, easy-clean floor (usually about two days), or metallic epoxy for a glossy, custom finish that works for car collections and showroom-style garages. See garage floors and epoxy garage floors.

La Jolla restaurants, retail and medical offices

From the restaurants and galleries along Prospect Street and Girard Avenue to the offices and medical buildings near UC San Diego, La Jolla businesses need floors that look good and hold up to heavy foot traffic. We offer commercial polishing, grind and seal, commercial epoxy and overlays, and we are a Sherwin-Williams certified installer. See commercial flooring.

Scheduling

We schedule jobs by the week and confirm a firm start date two business days before we begin. In the Village and other areas with tight street parking, we plan access with you ahead of time.
