Outdoor epoxy flooring with a UV stable topcoat

A patio coating turns bare outdoor concrete into a sealed, finished floor. We coat backyard patios, covered patios, back porches, front porches and entry steps. The slab around an outdoor kitchen or fire pit gets the same work. Our standard epoxy patio coating is an epoxy base coat under a UV stable topcoat.

Epoxy One is based in the Memorial area of west Houston. We have installed floor coatings across Greater Houston since 2008. A patio can be coated in the same visit as the garage, and one Google reviewer had us do both. See our epoxy garage floors page for the garage side.

What We Handle

  • Backyard patios, covered patios, back porches and front porches
  • Entry steps and the slab around an outdoor kitchen or fire pit
  • Diamond grinding so the epoxy base coat bonds to open concrete
  • Crack and joint repair on slabs that move with Houston clay
  • Old sealers and old coatings ground off before a recoat
  • A moisture check, with a vapor barrier primer when the reading calls for it
  • A UV stable polyaspartic or polyurea topcoat over the epoxy base
  • Full flake, solid color or quartz, with aluminum oxide grit for grip when wet

Why does an epoxy patio need a UV stable topcoat?

Standard epoxy is not UV stable. In direct sun it ambers and yellows, and with more exposure it can chalk and lose its gloss. A Houston patio sits in strong sun most of the year.

So on a patio, epoxy is the base and a UV stable coat goes on top. Epoxy bonds to concrete best, which is why it goes down first. The topcoat is polyaspartic or a UV stable polyurea. Standard polyurea yellows in UV light, so an outdoor polyurea topcoat has to be a UV stable grade.

When you need the patio back in a day, we can install a full polyaspartic system instead. It cures fast and holds its color in the sun. For most patios, the epoxy base is still the build we recommend. Our guide shows how the three chemistries compare.

Patio and porch floor coating finishes: flake, solid color, quartz and stain

Full-broadcast flake is the most common finish for a patio floor coating. Vinyl chips go into the wet epoxy base, and a clear topcoat locks them in. The chips hide stains and old patches, and they leave a light texture underfoot. Our flake epoxy floors page covers the blends: gray, tan, black, blue and multicolor.

Solid color gives a smooth, even surface in gloss, satin or flat. A quartz broadcast gives a sandy texture with more grip. Smooth coatings get slick when wet, so we can add aluminum oxide or a fine grit to the topcoat. For wet areas that need more texture, see our anti-slip floor coatings.

Some patios only need color. Stained concrete is the lighter option: a stain colors the slab, and a sealer goes on top. Another Google reviewer had us stain their back patio to hide old stains left from move-in.

Concrete patio coating prep for Houston weather

Most Houston homes sit on slabs over clay soil that swells and shrinks, so patios crack and joints open. Every patio or porch floor coating starts with diamond grinding, which opens the concrete so the base coat can bond. Then we repair the cracks and joints. An old sealer or coating gets ground off in the same step.

Next comes a moisture check, because moisture trapped under a coating can make it fail early. When the reading calls for it, a vapor barrier primer goes down first. Our guide explains why epoxy floors peel in Houston.

Outdoor work also needs a dry slab and a dry weather window. Rain on bare concrete or on a fresh coat means the job waits, so the install date follows the forecast. Dew counts too. Coating standards want the surface at least 5 degrees F above the dew point, from prep through cure.

Call or text

Reach us at (281) 831-5656 and tell us about the floor. We book estimates on weekdays.

2

Free on-site estimate

We measure the slab, look at its condition and run a moisture test. Then you get a quote for the system we recommend.

3

Color and finish

Pick the color and finish from samples. Options include full flake, solid color, quartz and metallic.

4

Prep and coats

We diamond grind the slab and repair cracks and joints. A vapor barrier primer goes down when the moisture test calls for it. Then comes the base coat, the flake or pigment broadcast, and the clear topcoat.

5

Cure and walk-through

Most garages are a two-day job, and a metallic floor takes about three days. We do a final walk-through and tell you when to drive on the floor.

FAQ

Patio Coatings Questions, Answered

Common questions about patio coatings across west Houston, the suburbs and up to The Woodlands. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (281) 831-5656

What are the best options for patio coating?
For most patios we recommend an epoxy base with a UV stable polyaspartic or polyurea topcoat. Full flake is the most common finish, and solid color or quartz use the same build. If you only want color, stain and a sealer are the lighter option. The same choices apply to an epoxy porch or entry steps.
What is the best thing to cover a concrete patio?
It depends on the slab. A slab with cracks and old patches looks best under full flake, since the chips hide the repairs. Stain and a sealer suit a sound, clean slab you already like the look of. When the patio has to be ready fast, a full polyaspartic system goes in as a one-day install.
How much does it cost to coat a patio?
Every patio prices differently, and square footage sets the starting point. Crack repair or an old sealer to grind off adds work, and so do steps. The finish you pick matters too. Estimates are free and quotes often come back within a day, so call or text (281) 831-5656.
Can you recoat a concrete patio?
Yes. We grind the old coating or sealer off and take the slab back to bare concrete. From there it gets the same prep as a new patio: crack and joint repair, then the moisture check. If the old coating peeled, that check helps show why before the new coats go down.
Is a coated patio slippery when it rains?
A smooth, glossy coating can get slick when wet, so we build grip into the finish. Full flake leaves a light texture under the clear topcoat. Aluminum oxide or a fine grit in the topcoat adds more grip. We match the grip to how you use the space.
Does a coated patio get hot in the summer sun?
Any concrete patio gets hot in full Houston sun, coated or not. Color changes how hot it gets, since lighter colors reflect more sunlight and stay cooler than dark ones. A covered patio or porch stays cooler still. At the estimate we can show you lighter flake blends.

These guys did my garage floor back in November, Pablo really knows the technical knowledge and recommend a vapor barrier to be put down first. 3 months in and it still looks brand new. Went with Folsom color choice. Super easy to work with and plan around the drywall crew. Highly recommended!

I work for a custom home builder in the Houston area and we have been using Xpedite Coating for many years on our garage epoxy floors. They are very professional and timely and always leave the site clean after they are finished. I would highly recommend them for your next epoxy flooring need.

I used Xpedite Coatings twice to finish my epoxy flake garage floor at 2 properties. This guy is professional at what they do. The crew came and finished the job in a timely manner. The results look great and price is competitive. Highly recommended.
