5 Signs Your Driveway or Patio Needs a Concrete Coating

Your driveway and patio are more than just functional surfaces—they’re key elements of your home’s curb appeal and outdoor living space. Over time, weather, traffic, and daily use can take a toll on bare concrete. Knowing when it’s time to upgrade with a professional coating can save you from costly repairs and keep your property looking beautiful.

At Elevated Coatings, we specialize in epoxy flooring and polyaspartic systems that protect and enhance concrete driveways, patios, and even your epoxy garage floor.

1. Visible Cracks and Surface Damage

Small cracks in concrete may seem harmless at first, but they can grow quickly, allowing water to penetrate and cause further damage. A professional coating not only improves the appearance but also seals and protects the surface from future wear.

2. Fading and Discoloration

Sun, rain, and everyday use can cause concrete to lose its original color and vibrancy. Polyaspartic and epoxy flooring systems offer UV protection and long-lasting color retention, restoring beauty and keeping your driveway or patio looking fresh.

3. Stubborn Stains

Oil, rust, and other stains can be nearly impossible to remove from bare concrete. A durable coating from Elevated Coatings creates a non-porous surface that resists staining and makes cleanup a breeze.

4. Slippery or Unsafe Surfaces

Driveways and patios can become dangerously slippery when wet. Our coatings can be customized with slip-resistant textures to improve traction—similar to what we use on epoxy garage floor installations—making outdoor areas safer for you and your guests.

5. High Maintenance

If your driveway or patio requires constant scrubbing, sealing, or power washing, it’s time for an upgrade. A coated surface is low-maintenance, easy to clean, and doesn’t require frequent resealing.
