In a quiet community in Virginia, homeowners Mr. and Mrs. Lane faced a dilemma familiar to many: their driveway was in bad shape and needed an update. While their neighbor had decided on fully removing and replacing their aging concrete driveway, the Lanes were reluctant to commit to such an invasive, costly, and messy process. That’s when they reached out to Bob Miller, vice president at SUNDEK, to explore alternative options. Bob introduced them to the SunRestore Broom Finish technique, a revolutionary solution for renewing concrete surfaces.

Instead, SUNDEK places a coating of SunRestore on top of the prepared surface then textures it with a Broom Finish, giving the surface a brand-new look. It’s a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly choice.
The benefits of opting for SunRestore instead of a demolition were immediately appealing to the Lanes. It creates a durable, slip-resistant surface—perfect for Virginia’s rainy and snowy weather. The subtle texture of the finish blends seamlessly with any style, adding a touch of elegance without overwhelming the space. It’s also low-maintenance, requiring minimal upkeep while maintaining its fresh appearance.
Once Mr. and Mrs. Lane were on board, SUNDEK’s team got to work. First, they carefully repaired minor imperfections in the existing concrete, including cracks and chips, ensuring the surface was properly prepped. Then, they applied the coating and added the broom finish, creating a beautifully textured surface that looked like brand-new concrete—without the cost and disruption of a complete replacement.
The results spoke for themselves. The Lanes’ driveway was transformed, offering a sleek, polished look that matched her home’s style. Four years later, they’re still thrilled with the outcome, saying: “After four years, the driveway still looks brand new, without any pitting, cracking or discoloration. It is very easy to clean and requires zero maintenance.” Their neighbor, who had opted for a full replacement at three times the cost, now wishes they had gone the broom finish route instead.
Homeowners Mr. and Mrs. Lane were so pleased that they had SUNDEK of Washington complete a project in their backyard, too. “Over the years, many of our friends and neighbors have asked about our driveway and back yard patio,” say the Lanes. “We have gladly referred them to Sundek so that they can get the full benefit of this superior product, as we have. We simply cannot praise or recommend Sundek enough for their products and craftsmanship, which continually display high quality and longevity with minimal cleaning and maintenance.”
Thanks to SUNDEK’s innovative solutions, this homeowner’s driveway is both a beautiful and functional space that will last for years to come.
