Textured, anti-slip outdoor concrete

Patio & Pool Deck Coating

Concrete overlays and anti-slip coatings that take sun, freeze and pool chemicals without flaking.

Outdoor concrete has two problems a garage does not: it gets wet and it freezes. A coating that works beautifully inside will be slick as glass around a pool and will pop off a patio the first winter if it was not built for the freeze-thaw cycle.

What we use outside

  • Textured, anti-slip finishes with aggregate worked into the top coat so wet feet have grip.
  • UV-stable systems that hold their color in full sun instead of chalking out.
  • Breathable builds that let the slab release moisture instead of trapping it under the film.
  • Resurfacing overlays where the concrete is sound but ugly, spalled or stained.

Patios, pool decks and walkways

Pool decks get the highest anti-slip texture we offer and a chemical-resistant top coat, because chlorinated water splashing out every day is harder on a finish than anything in a garage. Patios and walkways can run smoother since they are mostly dry.

When concrete replacement is the honest answer

If the slab is heaved, badly cracked through or crumbling at the surface, a coating just makes a failing patio shiny for a season. We will say that at the walkthrough instead of taking the job.

How it goes

From estimate to the day you park on it

  1. 1

    Free on-site estimate

    We measure, look hard at your concrete and walk you through exactly what the floor will be. You pick your flake blend from cured samples. You leave with a written price.

  2. 2

    Diamond grind and repair

    We mechanically grind the slab to open the concrete so the coating can bond into it, then fill cracks, joints and popouts. No acid etching and no shortcuts. This step decides whether the floor lasts.

  3. 3

    Vapor barrier, flake, polyaspartic

    The moisture vapor barrier goes down first. Flake is broadcast into it wet to full refusal, then scraped flat once it sets and locked in under a polyaspartic top coat.

  4. 4

    Cure and it is yours

    Stay off it for 24 hours and keep vehicles off for 72. We give you the exact times for your floor before we leave, plus the warranty in writing.

Pricing

How outdoor concrete is priced

Patios and pool decks are quoted by the job. There is no useful published range because no two outdoor slabs have taken the same weather.

Send photos and the rough square footage and we will price it.

Straight answers

Questions we get a lot

How long does the job take?

Most residential floors are a one visit install, and we are on site for the day. The floor is not finished when we pull out though. It needs to cure: 24 hours before you walk on it and 72 hours before you park on it.

Is this the same as the epoxy kit from the hardware store?

No. Those kits are a thin epoxy rolled over acid-etched concrete. There is no vapor barrier and no mechanical profile, which is why they lift under hot tires inside a couple of summers. We diamond grind, build the vapor barrier in and finish with polyaspartic.

Why not a floor that is done in one day start to finish?

The way you get a floor truly finished in a day is to skip the moisture vapor barrier and roll polyaspartic straight onto the slab. That is the floor that peels. We install the full build and the trade-off is cure time, not quality.

Does the space have to be cleared out first?

The floor has to be clear for us to work. Tell us what is in there when you ask for the quote and we will sort out moving or hauling it with you.

Can you coat a basement or a patio too?

Yes. Basements, utility rooms, patios, pool decks, shops and warehouses all get coated on systems built for that surface. Outdoor concrete gets a textured anti-slip finish.

Why would my neighbor's floor cost less than mine?

Two reasons, almost always. Their slab was in better shape, so there was less grinding and crack repair before we could start. Or they picked a standard flake blend and you picked a premium one. Same crew, same build, different hours and different material.
