In Paradise Valley the exterior concrete is usually as visible as anything indoors: entry courtyards, the walkways between them, and driveways that are seen before the house is. Dialed In Epoxy coats those in UV stable polyaspartic, base and topcoat both, so the color that goes down is still the color there several summers later. ROC 358358, and we are licensed, bonded and insured.
Call (602) 820-7739Where a driveway or a courtyard is on show, the question is not whether the coating survives but whether it still looks right in five years, and outdoors that is decided almost entirely by the resin. Epoxy ambers and chalks within a season or two of Arizona daylight, which is why it is never the top layer on anything exposed. Polyaspartic holds its color. The color layer itself can be worked to sit with the stone, render or paving already on the property rather than picked off a chart. Where the drive is the first thing seen from the road, that is a decision worth making once and properly rather than revisiting after a season.
Texture is the other half of that decision, and it is not only an aesthetic one. A light color and a textured finish keep a courtyard or a walkway comfortable underfoot in July, where a dark smooth surface at the same temperature will not be. Anti slip aggregate is broadcast into the coat where it has been specified, so the footing holds where a walkway runs past a fountain or a pool and water gets carried across it. The specification is set out in full on our Phoenix page: what an exterior coating is made of.
A property here rarely has just one piece of exterior concrete. There is usually a drive, a courtyard, a path round to the rear and a terrace, poured at different times and weathered differently, and they only convince when they read as a single surface. That is a specification question rather than a color matching one: the same build, the same texture and the same color across slabs that start in different condition, which means the preparation differs even where the finish does not. Older slabs may need more grinding and more repair before they will take the same finish as a newer one beside them, and that shows up in the preparation rather than in the result.

Three stages on every exterior concrete coating in Paradise Valley, 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.
