Concrete surfaces take a beating throughout Western North Carolina. Between heavy rainfall, changing temperatures, humidity, and daily wear, patios, sidewalks, pool decks, and driveways can gradually become worn, slippery, cracked, or unattractive over time. Fortunately, resurfacing with broom-finished concrete offers homeowners a practical and visually appealing solution that improves both safety and appearance.

At Parks’ Waterproofing, proudly serving Salem-Winston and communities throughout Western North Carolina, we help property owners upgrade aging concrete surfaces with durable broom finish resurfacing designed for long-lasting performance and improved traction.

What is Broom-Finished Concrete?

Broom finishing is a concrete texturing technique that creates a lightly ridged surface by dragging a specialized broom across freshly applied concrete. This process leaves behind a textured finish that improves grip and traction while also giving the concrete a clean, finished appearance.

Broom-finished concrete is commonly used for:

  • Sidewalks
  • Driveways
  • Patios
  • Pool decks
  • Entryways
  • Outdoor walkways
  • Wet areas around homes and businesses

Because of its slip-resistant texture, broom finishing is especially popular for outdoor surfaces exposed to rain or water.

Slip Resistance for Safer Surfaces

One of the biggest advantages of broom-finished concrete is safety. Smooth concrete can become slippery when wet, especially around pools, patios, and outdoor entertaining areas.

To help reduce slipping hazards, many homeowners choose broom-finished concrete for:

  • Pool decks
  • Walkways
  • Outdoor stairs
  • Covered patios
  • Garage entries

The textured surface helps provide additional traction, making it safer for children, guests, and family members walking on wet concrete surfaces.

In regions like Western North Carolina, where rain and moisture are common throughout much of the year, slip-resistant concrete surfaces are particularly valuable.

A Durable Solution for High-Traffic Areas

Concrete walkways and driveways experience constant foot traffic, vehicle traffic, weather exposure, and surface wear. Over time, this can lead to cracking, staining, erosion, and uneven textures.

Broom-finished resurfacing can help refresh aging concrete while improving durability and functionality.

Benefits include:

  • Improved traction
  • Enhanced curb appeal
  • Long-lasting durability
  • Lower maintenance requirements
  • Better resistance to weather exposure
  • Cleaner, more uniform appearance

For homeowners in Salem-Winston and surrounding Western North Carolina communities, resurfacing existing concrete may also be more cost-effective than complete replacement.

Functional and Attractive Outdoor Spaces

While broom finishing is known for its practical benefits, it can also improve the overall appearance of outdoor living areas. Professional broom finishing creates a clean, uniform texture that complements many home styles and landscaping designs.

At Parks’ Waterproofing, we help homeowners create outdoor surfaces that are both functional and visually appealing.

When professionally installed, the finish creates subtle texture while maintaining a polished and attractive look.

Ideal for Pool Decks and Wet Areas

Pool decks are one of the most common places where broom-finished concrete is used. Around pools and wet environments, slip resistance becomes especially important for preventing falls and injuries.

The broom finish texture helps reduce slick conditions caused by:

  • Pool water
  • Rainwater
  • Morning dew
  • Humidity and moisture buildup

This makes broom-finished concrete a smart choice for outdoor spaces frequently exposed to water.

I cannot say enough about Jody and his team of guys. Do yourself a favor and call them, but if you have other jobs schedule them last because they will set the bar so high everyone else will fall short. Jody himself came out a few times, and would text and call during the entire job checking in and making sure everything was going well. My house was actually a negative grade and they had to regrade all around the house, install a dehumidifier in the crawl space, installed new gutters and drains in the yard…they did so well I kept adding jobs! I have never come across this level of professionalism in this industry. I would call them again in a heartbeat!

Bryan B.

Jody saved us a ton of money by quickly and accurately diagnosing our wet basement issue as simply under-sized gutters. Instead of digging around the foundation and waterproofing, they installed new gutters, downspouts and drain lines, and our basement is now dry. Honest, professional, experienced, reasonably priced - give him a call before you have anyone start a waterproofing jobs you might not need.

Gail & Casey B.

We are pleased with the job at Granite Falls, NC. 5 star! The basement is dry and condensation is gone, bright white covering. The dehumidifier is hard at work, again thank you. The gutters are redirecting the rain waters. God bless you.

Debbie & Dave V.

We hired Parks’ Waterproofing to address a moisture issue in the basement of our log home in Buck Mountain. We were convinced during our initial meeting with Jody to go with his company based on the Waterproofing Lifetime Guarantee offered and other services his company provides such as hardscaping & landscaping. During the course of our waterproofing project and as we began to experience and appreciate the high quality of workmanship, we solicited Jody for ideas to expand the scope of the work into hardscaping and landscaping. As our confidence in Jody grew, we allowed him to incorporate his vision for our property that included a patio, a fire ring, retaining walls and walkways. His attention to planning and detail were impeccable. His cost-saving ideas were also much appreciated. Just as important to us was the professionalism of his field staff; they were extremely courteous and respectful of our property. The end result is spectacular; the quality of materials used and the fit and finish not only met but exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with and proud of our new hardscape and landscape features, and of course the waterproofing system is working; keeping our basement dry and devoid of humidity. We recommend Parks’ Waterproofing to anyone.

I would highly recommend Parks' Waterproofing for any work I had for them to do. Jody was good about coming to my home and looking at what was going on with water getting into my basement. Come to find out that had a bad down spout. Jody was good enough to show me this and the problem was an easy fix. Jody made a 40 mile trip and would not let me pay him. Thank you Jody.

Kara M.

We were having water in our basement every time it rained hard. We feared the worst, and called Parks’ Waterproofing for an estimate. After inspecting our basement, Jody told us that the issue was a $10 pipe that we could replace ourselves. He could have tried to sell us an expensive system that we didn’t need but he was honest. We are grateful for this honest business.

Matt R.

As a real estate agent in the Triad, I can tell you that many major issues found in homes originate from improper water management. The first time I met with the Parks' Waterproofing, I could tell that they were the real deal. This team really knows their stuff! Parks' Waterproofing installed their patented, lifetime warranty, free-flowing waterproofing system around the entire perimeter of a family member's house to prevent water under the house, which was causing a huge mold problem. I have also used Parks' Waterproofing to install below grade drainage for my gutter system, plus, adding a catch basin under my deck, and grading. They did an amazing job! 5/5, highly recommended to anyone!

Greg G.

If you are having water problems in your basement or house...CALL PARKS WATERPROOFING! Jody listens, takes detailed notes, then lays out a plan of attack to eliminate the issue. We made the mistake of hiring a General Contractor first because they had the time to come out sooner than Parks. Big mistake that cost my parents a great deal of money. Believe me, wait for Parks. It is worth the wait. Even though Parks was busy, he updated us weekly with a spreadsheet showing us exactly where we were on his list. We never had to call him. After he fixed our problem, which required a great deal of digging and grading, his team came out and landscaped those areas and planted grass seed. My parent's yard has never looked this good. My only complaint is that Jody will not tell me what his seed blend is or sell it to me. JODY, what is your secret??? I highly recommend Parks Waterproofing and on a personal note, Jody is a good man. He actually cares about his customer. Regards, Greg
