Our epoxy porch and patio coatings provide a durable and attractive finish that resists weathering and UV damage, ensuring longevity and beauty for your outdoor spaces. Transform your porch or patio into a seamless, stunning surface with our epoxy coatings.
Epoxy is a type of coating that is commonly used on residential porch and patio floors to provide a beautiful and long-lasting finish. It is an incredibly durable material that can resist a wide range of physical and chemical damage, making it an excellent choice for outdoor flooring.
One of the primary benefits of using epoxy on your porch or patio is its longevity. Unlike other types of coatings, such as paint or sealants, epoxy is designed to stand the test of time. It can resist UV rays, extreme weather conditions, and heavy foot traffic, ensuring that your porch or patio will look great for many years to come.
There are several types of epoxy floors available for residential use. The most common is the traditional solvent-based epoxy, which uses a two-part formula to create a hard, durable finish. Water-based epoxy is another option, which provides a more environmentally friendly option without sacrificing durability.
Another popular type of epoxy floor is the decorative epoxy coating. This type of epoxy can be customized with various colors and patterns to create a unique and visually appealing look for your porch or patio. It can even be used to mimic the look of natural stone or tile without the cost or maintenance requirements.
Overall, epoxy is an excellent choice for homeowners who want a durable and long-lasting finish for their porch or patio. With its many benefits and various types, there is an epoxy floor to fit every style and budget.
The preparation process is the most important step during any flooring project. The Elite Epoxy Pros uses state-of-the-art diamond grinders and a self-contained vacuum system that creates an unbreakable mechanical bond to the substrate. Our crew will unload the equipment and then examine the concrete density to choose the most suitable diamond blades for grinding your floor.
We will then grind the surface of the entire floor, which is an important step since it profiles the substrate and opens the concrete material. Our crew will then use a hand grinder to ground down the edges.
It is very important that every inch of the floor is fully prepared for the coating. Elite Epoxy uses an epoxy basecoat with a polyaspartic topcoat. We can apply the coating to vertical surfaces such as cinder blocks, wooden baseboards, wooden steps, and foundation walls.
Included in this step, is the grinding process and the cleaning of all debris from the surface.
It is common for concrete pads to have hairline cracks, and although it is a natural occurrence, they must be opened with a diamond cutting wheel in order to fill it with a polyurea filler or mortar. The application process is fast and the filler cures in approximately 25 minutes.
The floor should be fully smooth, and all cracks must be completely invisible. It is common for floors to have salt pits or other signs of minor damage, but these spots must also be filled and ground down to achieve a flawless, smooth surface.
After we finish with the grinding process, we will vacuum the floor to make sure all dust and debris are fully removed.
Elite Epoxy uses an epoxy basecoat with a polyaspartic top coating, which is available as a 1 or 2-day system. The system we choose will depend on the size of your floor.
With the 1-day system, you can return to regular foot traffic and regular usage the following day, with a limit of 250 pounds. With the 2-day system, you can return to regular foot traffic and usage on the second day following the application. With either system, the floor is fully cured 48 hours after completion.
We will mix the 2 components by adding pigment to the base coat chosen by our customer’s choice of pre-blended vinyl flakes. The first step is to roll the base coat onto all vertical surfaces and heavily apply the flakes for 100% coverage.
Before the base coat is applied our crew will vacuum the excess material from the floor. We will then apply the base coat to the entire floor surface.
One person from our crew will roll the coating onto the floor and a second crew member will broadcast the vinyl flakes. To provide our crew with 100% coverage, three times the amount of material is broadcast during this process.
It takes 60 minutes for the floor to cure once the entire floor is fully coated.
We will remove all the excess flake material once the coating is fully cured.
Our crew will then scrape the floor with a flat metal-edge tool to knock down any standing flakes, and to smooth out the flake base coat. After we finish scraping the floor, we will vacuum it again to remove dust and debris.
Our crew will then apply a clear topcoat using a squeegee and then back-roll it. By doing this, we will be certain that the topcoat is even and thick throughout, leaving a durable, consistent finish.

Granite grip is a type of floor coating that is designed to provide a durable and slip-resistant surface. It is typically applied to concrete, wood, and other types of flooring to improve their appearance and performance. Granite grip is formulated with fine granules of stone, which provide a rough texture that offers excellent traction and stability. This makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas that are prone to slips and falls, such as entryways, workshops, and patios.
