Say goodbye to cracked, chalky, tired patio concrete — and hello to a finished outdoor surface you're actually proud to sit on. Cardinal Concrete Coatings installs decorative polyaspartic patio coatings across the greater Phoenix Valley, completed in as little as a single day. Most residential patios are back in use within 24 to 48 hours.
What We Coat
We install patio coatings for homes and businesses across Scottsdale, Chandler, Tempe, Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, and the surrounding cities. Beyond patios, we handle:
- Pool decks and hot-tub walkways
- Driveways
- Garage floors
- Outdoor entertainment areas
- Commercial patios and courtyards
Designing Your Patio
Your patio should feel like part of the house, not a leftover slab. Cardinal offers a curated menu of colors, textures, and decorative options — from taupe earth tones that read as natural stone to bold, high-contrast blends. We bring physical samples to the estimate so you can see and touch every option before you decide.
Design options include:
- Standard basecoat colors (a range of neutrals plus custom-mixed options)
- Vinyl flake blends for texture and depth (subtle to bold)
- Popular Phoenix-area finishes — taupe / earth tones for pool decks and patios
- Decorative touches like borders, bands, and radial lines
The Cardinal 6-Step Install Process
We install patio coatings in just one day. Most residential patios are back in use within 24 to 48 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 patio.
- 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 patio.
- Scrape off excess flake to level the surface and prepare it for final sealing.
- Seal with a polyaspartic topcoat. Most patios are ready for light foot traffic in a few hours; your installer will walk you through when to bring furniture and grills back on.
Routine Care Keeps It Looking New
A finished patio coating is easy to maintain — routine sweeping and hosing down handles day-to-day upkeep. For stubborn spots you can use a standard non-abrasive cleaner. No waxing, buffing, or specialty products required.
Concrete patios crack for a lot of reasons: improper original installation, soil movement, tree roots working under the slab, freeze-thaw cycles, or heavy furniture dropped in one spot for years. Our install starts with a crack repair pass, so the coating goes down on a stable surface — but ongoing attention to landscaping, drainage, and heavy loads helps the finish stay clean over time.
