Driveway Coatings
Full vehicle weight, full sun, full weather. Driveways get the most durable build we install, with texture for traction on any slope.
- Built heavier than an interior floor to carry vehicle loads
- Textured finish for traction on sloped or wet driveways
- Polyaspartic topcoat so the finish does not fade in the sun
- Seals against freeze-thaw damage and de-icing salt
Commonly used for: Residential driveways, Parking pads, Approaches
What to Expect
A driveway is the hardest surface on this list to coat well. It carries full vehicle loads, sits in direct sun, and freezes and thaws all winter. We build these heavier than an interior floor and always finish them with texture, because a slick driveway on a slope is a real hazard.
Every one of these is built the same way: grind the slab back to bare concrete, lay a moisture-vapor barrier, then the epoxy base coat, then a polyaspartic topcoat over the top. More on how we build a floor.
Finishes That Suit It
Chip Flake
Color flakes broadcast into the wet base coat, then sealed under a clear topcoat. Hides dust, tire marks, and small debris better than anything else we install.
Quartz
Colored quartz broadcast into the resin for a dense, stone-like texture. The most slip-resistant option, which is why it goes outside most often.
Questions About Driveway Coatings
Can a cracked driveway be coated?
Surface cracks and spalling can be repaired as part of prep. A slab that has heaved, sunk, or broken into sections that shift against each other is a different problem: a coating will crack right along with it. We will tell you at the estimate which of the two you have.
Can I still use de-icer on a coated driveway?
The coating seals the concrete, so de-icing salt sits on the surface instead of soaking into the slab, which is where it does its damage. Rinse the salt off when the weather turns rather than leaving it to sit all winter.
Other Concrete We Finish
Garages
The surface we coat most. Ground down to bare concrete, sealed, and topcoated so hot tires, jack stands, and dropped tools do not take it apart.

Outdoor concrete finished with texture for grip and a polyaspartic topcoat that holds its color in the sun.
Learn moreBasements
A sealed, easy-to-clean floor for below-grade space, with the moisture testing that basements specifically need before anything goes down.
Learn moreWalkways
Entries, paths, and steps finished with a high-grip texture, tying the approach to the house into the same finish as the patio or driveway.
Learn moreConcrete Polishing
No coating at all. The slab itself is densified and mechanically polished through progressive diamond grits until the concrete is the finished floor.
