Arizona summers are hard on concrete. Extreme heat, tire traffic, oil stains, and years of UV cook a driveway into something you'd rather your neighbors didn't see — cracked, faded, blotchy. Cardinal Concrete Coatings covers all of that with a clean, custom-color polyaspartic coating system installed in as little as a single day. Most residential driveways are done by dinner.
What We Do
We install decorative polyaspartic coatings on driveways, garage floors, patios, and pool decks across the greater Phoenix Valley — Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Queen Creek, and beyond. The finished driveway looks like a designed surface, not a slab of poured concrete: a range of basecoat colors, a hand-broadcast flake blend for texture and depth, and a sealed topcoat that ties it all together.
We coat:
- Concrete driveways (residential and commercial)
- Garage floors
- Patios and outdoor entertainment areas
- Pool decks and hot-tub walkways
Please note: we do not work on asphalt driveways.
Give Your Driveway a Fresh Look
Your driveway is the first thing people see when they pull up to your home. Old cracks, oil stains, and faded paint are noticeable — and so is a driveway that looks intentionally finished. Cardinal offers a curated menu of basecoat colors and vinyl flake blends, so you can match the coating to the rest of the exterior instead of settling for whatever the last owner poured.
Whether you're getting the house ready to sell or just tired of looking at the same worn concrete, a coated driveway is one of the fastest visible upgrades you can make.
Why Homeowners Choose Cardinal for Driveway Coatings
- One-day install on most residential driveways — pull the cars out in the morning, park on the finished coating that evening.
- Curated color and flake blend options walked through with you at the free in-home estimate.
- Local crews who install coatings full-time — not a subcontracted side project.
- A firm quote in 30-60 minutes at the estimate, no back-and-forth.
- Backed by our workmanship warranty.
The Cardinal 6-Step Install Process
We install our driveway coatings in just one day. Most residential driveways are ready for foot traffic within a few hours of the final topcoat.
- Profile, repair & vacuum the concrete surface to prepare it for the coating system.
- Patch cracks with 100% solids to seal any damage in the driveway.
- Apply a self-priming polyurea base coat that bonds to the slab.
- Broadcast polymer flake generously by hand for even color and texture across the driveway.
- Scrape off excess flake to level the surface and prepare it for final sealing.
- Seal with a polyaspartic topcoat. Most driveways are ready for foot traffic in a few hours; your installer will walk you through when to bring the vehicles back on.
Our Workmanship Warranty
Every driveway coating project comes with our workmanship warranty. Each install is customized to your specific driveway — square footage, condition, colors, flake blend — and we walk you through every option in writing before we start.
