If you have seen an outdoor floor go patchy and yellow after a couple of summers, you have seen the wrong material used outside. Your driveway, patio and walkways need a finish that holds its color in full sun, and that decision is made before anything is mixed. Dialed In Epoxy builds exposed concrete in UV stable polyaspartic, base coat and topcoat both. ROC 358358, and we are licensed, bonded and insured.
Call (602) 820-7739Epoxy is a good base coat and a poor top layer in daylight. Left exposed it ambers and chalks within a season or two of Arizona sun, and it does it unevenly, so the part of your patio that sits in shade ends up a different color from the part that does not. Nothing you clean it with brings that back. Polyaspartic holds its color, which is why it goes on top of everything outdoors here, and why the finish you approve is the finish you still have several summers on.
It buys you a second thing as well, which people tend not to ask about until later. Polyaspartic stays flexible enough to move with a slab that expands through a 115 degree afternoon and contracts again overnight. Your concrete does that every day of the year, and a rigid finish over it eventually cracks away from the edges. Control joints are honored rather than filled over, so the slab still moves where it was built to move. What you get out of that is a patio you stop thinking about. It does not craze along the edges, it does not need lifting and relaying, and the color stays even right across the area rather than fading where the sun sits longest. The material side is set out in full here: which resin goes where, and why.
Once the material is settled, the rest is about how you want to use the space. A light color keeps a surface cooler underfoot than a dark one at the same air temperature, which is what makes a patio walkable barefoot in July. A textured finish does the same job for grip, and anti slip aggregate is broadcast into the coat wherever water gets carried across. If you are not sure which way to go, start from when you are actually out there, because a space you use in the evening asks for something different from one the children cross all afternoon. Get those two right and you have a floor that is easy to keep, safe to walk on when it is wet, and comfortable in the months you actually want to be outside on it.

Three stages on every exterior concrete coating in Goodyear, AZ, and the first one decides the other two.
We mechanically grind, profile and vacuum the concrete with diamond tooling, which takes off the weathered top layer along with any old sealer. Exterior slabs almost always carry one, and a coating laid over an existing sealer has nothing to bond to. That preparation runs under every interior floor we lay: the four layers of an epoxy floor build, in order.
Cracks, spalled edges and pitted areas are cut out, filled and ground flush. Control joints are honored rather than filled over, so the slab can still move where it was designed to move instead of cracking somewhere new.
Then the system itself: a polyaspartic base, the color layer, and two coats of UV stable polyaspartic over the top, with anti-slip aggregate broadcast in where it was specified. A polyaspartic build goes down in a day, which on a driveway is the difference between one afternoon without the car and a week of it.
