How to Repair Concrete Steps | Concrete Step Refinishing Tutorial | Small Cement Area Repair
I repaired the cracked and chipped concrete step on my back porch with just a couple hours of easy work! If you have a small cement area that needs refinishing, this video will help walk you through everything you need to repair it yourself. I did this project 9 months pregnant, so if I can do it, you can do it!

Doing this while in late pregnancy 👍✌️the most impressive part of the video
Girl, if your baby isn't born with a roller in his hand I'll be surprised! 👶Nice work as always.
You are a super Momma!! You took nesting to the next level!! Looks awesome!!!
The step (and the entire porch makeover) turned out great! I really enjoy your videos and projects. Thanks for posting them.
Wow, that really puts the cherry on top of all the work you did on the porch. Looks fantastic!
Simply put, your superwoman so proud of your awesome work!!!!
Amazing and gratifying to see a young woman so far along in her pregnancy out doing her DIY thing. Kudos to you and congratulations.
Great job Melissa! So happy you put the mask on!

What an amazing women, I'm fan and learn a lot, thank you!
We all need an update video on this to see how the product handles temperature changes, I'm very curious to see if it has any cracking over time or not, great turnout, it's beautiful!

I suspect the adherent will help. It's more plastic than cement. I used some to do limestone to upgrade my porch and that cement still in good shape. The additives are costly but worth it.
Ciao complimenti
You are a awe simply amazing work..
Much better than before, though it looks painted, maybe thats still better. I wonder if you could use a different overlay or leveling cement product and add glue, or those concrete fortifiers...although those seam to be tinted with a warmer color thats not a nice cold gray like you got. I actually think this is how they market the stuff. lol. $15-25 for the underlayment or fix it stuff, and then adjust color add fortifier and charge $90 per bag. :-) Well done!
greetings from germany, looks good. I work a lot with concrete. There is a reason why you put rebar or some kind of glue to combine old concrete with fresh one otherwise it will just peel of after some time. The problem in basic is that the old concrete has completly finished the chemikal reaktion and is dry to the bone. Fresh concrete doesnt bond cause the old concrete sucks the water away from the new one so that the chemikal reaction doesnt go so well. In this case its better to just put paint on it but hey

Yeah the product I'm using addresses that in multiple ways, by etching the cured concrete surface and specially formulating the topcoat to adhere. I encourage you to look into their technical and spec sheets on their site: diyconcrete.com/collections/project-kits/products/project-kit-repair-my-ugly-concrete-covers-250-sq-ft
Amazing work well done, where can I order this repair kit?
Looks great! How's it holding up so far in winter temps? I need to show this to mom. She keeps trying to paint her back patio without doing proper prep and sealing.

So far so good!
Instead of a squeeze can the product be brushed on with a bristled paint brush? In a much smaller area that is.
Looks great! May I ask why you have to power wash? I don't want to mess with a power washer. Can you just scrub with soap and hose it off? I merely have old stains on concrete that I am trying to cover. No cracks or textural problems. I don't want to mess with concrete paint because of insane prep work and it still can peel after. Thanks!
Will the sealer weather winter with salt being used on top to remove ice?
Excellent video except for the 200 decibel laugh at the end which almost deafened me. 😂
Wonder if a paint roller would help with the sides?
Nice! Curious how it is holding up 2 years later?
Parging is hard and careful work. Good touch putting the paper so that you won't get a mess. It's VERY hard to clean off cement... it sticks like baby poo and then hardens. You seem to have done your cement homework, in which case it will be your friend.
Looks absolutely awesome lol I was thinking the sidewalk too before you said it haha wherever the sidewalk leads Im sure like the driveway is next…then the city or county better fix the road lol jk great job.

I used a similar product and it handled it really well. It only gets in the 20's and sometimes teens where I live but it should not have a problem with colder temperatures. A general warning, which goes for all concrete outside, do not throw rock salt or even the stuff they say is friendly to concrete. Did that on a small side area walk and when they weather got better I noticed the concrete was just chipping away. I forgot completely about that. Thankfully I did not do that with the rest of the concrete I refinished.
The fine particles mask link is dead. Can you repost? Thank you
I would like to know the sure product info
My only issue is the trip hazard left at the step/porch connection......a decorative clay tile would have raised the step to the porch to remove the trip hazard.
Please show us what your step looks like after 1 months usage
Would you repair a concrete block wall the same way?

This can be used on vertical surfaces, so I do think you can use it for a wall. Definitely make sure you clean it to avoid efflorescence interfering with the new concrete product.

What’s the texture like on that?

At the end you can see a close up of the texture, but it's basically the same as fresh concrete with a broom finish, little ridges prevent the concrete from being a slippery hazard.
What a wonderful woman!!!! That's a woman!! Where can I find one of them? Amazing.
Awesome video… looks awesome! Also …were can I find a woman like you. Lols
Sidewalk just needs to be cleaned try olympic deck cleaner just pump sprayer it on and let it sit then give it a light wash off you can thank me later
All products on DIY Concrete are sold out. Hmm
How is hydrochloric acid safer than muriatic acid? They're literally the same chemical just with different names.
That big block slab of concrete doesn't blend in with the stained wood should of continued building it out with the steps the slab is too wide and too bulky looking, The grass should be cut on settings 4 not so low to thick'n up and have a better look. Putting down sod is a quicker easier solution then grass seeds that can wash away with rain.
