Question:

Is there a wood composite to put over the front porch cement?

Front porch cement is all pited. I try some cement product they seam to flake off after a year or two. Or is there a newer cement product out now

Answer:

You could get some of those plastic boards they make for decks and try to attach to your porch. I don't know if the additional thickness will cause you any problems. If you want to try a cement product, be sure to clean the old surface well and remove all the loose materials. If you are using a cement product that is trowelled in place, you should put an epoxy bonding agent down first, and your minimum thickness should probably be 1 (thicker will be better). Cure the concrete with wet rags for a couple of days for best strength with less surface cracking.
