Your Patio Deserves Better Than Flaky Paint and Faded Concrete
In a perfect world, your concrete patio should feel like part of your home, and that means clean and comfortable. But if it’s stained, cracked, or simply tired-looking, it’s probably overdue for a fresh start. A high-performance concrete coating can turn that worn-out slab into a clean, sealed, and solid surface that’s easy to love and even easier to keep clean.
Let’s talk through how to choose the best coating for a concrete patio, and why we at Everlast only trust one system for outdoor space upgrades: polyurea base coat with a polyaspartic top layer. Here’s why it’s the best patio coating out there.
1. What’s Your Patio Actually For?
Before you pick a concrete patio coating, think about how you use your outdoor space. Are you hosting BBQs every weekend? Letting the dog tear around on it? Trying to create an outdoor dining area that doesn’t feel like a driveway?
The way you use your patio will help determine what matters most:
- Need it to be slip-resistant? That affects texture.
- Want it to stay cool underfoot? That affects color.
- Sick of flaking paint every spring? That affects material.
If you’re dealing with constant stains from food spills, leaf debris, or other messes, you’ll want a coating that resists moisture and prevents surface damage. And for patios with heavy foot traffic — kids, guests, pets — you need something with exceptional durability and built-in protection.
2. What Coating Options Are Out There? (And Which Ones Don’t Make the Cut)
Let’s just say it: most big-box DIY patio coatings don’t hold up outdoors.
- Concrete paint is cheap and fast — and it shows. It chips, fades, and peels within a season, especially in direct sunlight or rain.
- Epoxy coatings are okay (not great) for basement floors or indoor surfaces, but outside? They yellow under UV rays and crack when exposed to changing temps or moisture.
- Our system: polyurea coatings with a polyaspartic top layer is engineered for the outdoors. It’s a long-term patio coating that’s chemical-resistant, UV-proof, flexible, and easy to maintain.
There are other types of coatings out there, but nothing else performs this well on exterior concrete patios.
3. Why We Only Use Polyurea + Polyaspartic for Outdoor Patios
We don’t mess around with weak formulas or short-term fixes. Here’s why our polyaspartic coatings are the best solution for outdoor concrete coatings:
UV Resistance That Lasts
Epoxy turns yellow. Our polyaspartic topcoat offers exceptional UV resistance, so your concrete patio keeps its color and clarity even under harsh direct sunlight. That’s why they’re the best coatings for garages and basements too.
Moves With the Concrete
Concrete expands and contracts with the weather, heat, and cold. Our polyurea coatings flex with it, preventing cracks, peel, and other damage. This flexibility is a major reason our system works so well for patios and walkways.
Cures Fast
This isn’t some week-long mess. Our floor coating system cures in a matter of hours, not days. In fact, most patio coating installations take just one day, so you’re back outside by tomorrow.
Handles Weather Like a Pro
Rain, frost, summer heat, sudden cold snaps, our coatings handle it all. We build in slip resistance and seal the surface tight to lock out moisture, prevent UV damage, and resist chemicals, stains, and other elements.
We Fix the Concrete First
Every Everlast concrete patio coating project starts with professional prep. We grind, repair, and level the surface before we apply anything, which means no bubbling, no lifting, and no problems down the road. The whole process is fast, efficient, and dialed in.
4. Looks Matter: Design Options You’ll Actually Like
A durable coating is great, but we also make patios look amazing. With our polyaspartic flake systems, you get a fully customizable finish that fits your space.
- Want neutrals? We’ve got subtle, natural tones that complement stone or brick.
- Want to match your siding or outdoor kitchen? We can.
- Want something bold and textured with that showroom-floor shine? That’s our specialty.
From satin to high-gloss finishes, we’ll fine-tune the look to your needs and style. These coatings don’t just protect your patio, they upgrade the whole outdoor space.
5. Should You DIY It? (Probably Not.)
Sure, you could grab some paint or an epoxy kit and call it a day. But it won’t last. DIY coatings peel, fade, and fail, especially without proper concrete surface prep.
Our professional installation process includes diamond grinding, crack repair, and an industrial-grade floor coating system that’s built to perform. Whether it’s patios or garage floors, our team does a fantastic job every time, with no shortcuts and no guesswork.
