Exterior concrete around Wickenburg tends to run longer and more exposed than it does in town: approach drives, parking aprons, and the walkways and patios belonging to properties with room around them. Dialed In Epoxy coats them in UV stable polyaspartic, base and topcoat both, because anything left in full daylight under an epoxy topcoat ambers within a season or two. ROC 358358, and we are licensed, bonded and insured.
Call (602) 820-7739Area is the least useful thing to know about a driveway. What sets the work is the condition it is in along its length, and a long approach is rarely in one condition from end to end. The stretch nearest the road takes the turning traffic and the worst of the sun. The stretch nearest the house takes oil, and often shade for part of the day, which changes how it has weathered. Cracks, spalled edges and pitted areas are cut out, filled and ground flush wherever they fall, so the repair does not telegraph through the finish.
Dust is the other thing a long run of concrete has to deal with here. Bare concrete abrades underfoot and under tires and sheds a fine gray film that gets carried indoors and settles on whatever is stored near it. Sealing the slab stops the surface itself being the thing that wears, so it stops producing the dust in the first place. That counts for more on a property where the drive is what everything arrives across. A sealed drive also stops the grit that gets tracked across it from grinding into the surface, so the concrete keeps its finish instead of dulling in the wheel tracks. The whole build is written out on our Phoenix page: how the exterior system is put together.
Exposed concrete out here swings further between a 115 degree afternoon and the night that follows it, and it expands and contracts as it goes. Polyaspartic is specified for the base as well as the topcoat because it holds its color in direct sun and stays flexible enough to move with the slab rather than crack away from it. Control joints are honored rather than filled over, so the concrete still moves where it was designed to move. The color layer sits underneath those two topcoats rather than on top of them, which is what keeps it out of the weather entirely. Call (602) 820-7739 or use the form on this page.
Three stages on every exterior concrete coating in Wickenburg, 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.
