Our team provides spall and coping repair, delivering cooler, grippy decks for homes and long-wearing outdoor surfaces for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 12 years in business and a 2-year workmanship warranty against peeling and delamination, we've completed over 1,187 projects, from a covered back porch to a full pool surround with steps and a spa curb.
From routing soil-movement cracks to the last pass of grit-loaded clear coat, our team handles every detail. Serving Riverside and neighboring Villa Park, Diamond Bar and Yorba Linda, we coat outdoor concrete so it stays cooler underfoot, holds its color and grips when it is wet.

What you can hold us to
An outdoor slab needs a UV-stable coating, and plain epoxy is not one. Aromatic epoxy ambers and chalks once direct sun reaches it, which is why the garage-kit patios we grind off in Eastvale and El Sobrante had usually yellowed within a season. Every deck we coat in Claremont, Norco or Woodcrest is topped with a UV-stable aliphatic polyaspartic clear coat that will not amber, whether it faces the pool or the street.
Outdoor concrete also moves more than a garage slab, because heat, cool nights and irrigation water swell and shrink the soil under it. On hillside lots in Diamond Bar and the foothill homes of San Antonio Heights, that movement is why patio cracks reopen and why the coating has to flex with the slab.

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Kathy's pool surround on a half-acre lot near the citrus groves in Villa Park was a sun-baked pool deck that was hot underfoot, slick when wet and spalling at the coping. We repaired the spalls first, then recommended a light-colored textured polyaspartic that stays cooler and grips wet feet, finished in a tan quartz texture over the pool surround, about 380 sq ft. The pool surround was an estimated $2,600 to $3,900 and took an estimated 1 to 2 days, coping repair included. The result Kathy describes: bare feet on the deck in August, and no more slips at the steps.
A lighter, textured coating is the most comfortable choice for a deck people cross barefoot, because pale colors reflect more sun than dark ones and texture keeps skin off a glassy surface. Dark charcoal flake is the wrong color for a pool deck in Yorba Linda or North Tustin, where summer afternoons regularly push past the 90s. We bring tan, sand and light gray quartz chips to every Villa Park and Diamond Bar site visit so you can set them on the hot concrete yourself.
Thin coatings soften and lift at full afternoon temperature, so our basecoats run 80% to 100% solids by volume, and that film does not shrink thin as it cures in the sun.
A pool deck coating has to grip when wet and shrug off chlorine and salt, and texture plus the right clear coat does both. We load the final coat with aluminum oxide or polymer grit for a 0.60 to 0.85 DCOF, the grip we spec on every pool deck from the Country Estates in Diamond Bar to the Lemon Heights ranch homes in North Tustin. Quartz texture grips best on the steps, the coping edge and the walk to the spa, where most slips happen.
Splash-out with chlorine or salt water does not etch polyaspartic the way it eats into bare concrete, so a Canyon Crest or Wood Streets patio in Riverside rinses clean with a hose.
Cracks are routed and filled before a deck is coated, because a coating over an open crack simply shows the crack again. We chase each crack with a grinder, fill it with a flexible patch and grind it flush, then the textured broadcast hides the repair line. Spalled coping and pitted edges are rebuilt as part of the prep inside the deck job, which is how the spalls at Kathy's coping in Villa Park were handled.
The most common pool deck failure is plain epoxy laid outdoors, and the second is a coating rolled over a slab that was only pressure washed. The mistakes we design out of every outdoor job:
Diamond grind, crack fill, 100% solids basecoat, clear topcoat
Full broadcast vinyl flake, UV-stable clear coat, park in about a day
Grind, stem walls optional, double broadcast flake, polyaspartic topcoat
Moisture-mitigating primer, then flake, color or polished finish
Hand-worked metallic pigment over a flat primed slab, high-gloss clear
Colored quartz double broadcast, textured slip-resistant topcoat
UV-stable polyaspartic with textured flake or quartz
Heavy-build epoxy for jacks, mats, tack and tools
Phased by section, high-build epoxy or quartz, cove and striping as needed
Failed DIY paint or peeling epoxy ground off before the new system
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
A patio, porch or pool deck coating in Riverside is typically estimated at $1,200 to $4,000 for 200 to 400 sq ft, and deck size, crack and coping repair, and the texture you choose move the price most.
| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration |
|---|---|---|
| Patio, porch or pool deck coating (200 to 400 sq ft) | Est. $1,200 to $4,000 per area | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Pool surround with coping repair, quartz texture | Est. $2,600 to $3,900 per surround | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Pool bath or cabana quartz broadcast floor (250 to 450 sq ft) | Est. $2,000 to $5,400 per floor | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Old coating removal by diamond grinding (400 to 600 sq ft) | Est. $800 to $3,000 per floor | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Most Villa Park and Yorba Linda pool surrounds we price land in the middle of the patio range, while a failed DIY deck paint that has to be ground off typically adds an estimated $800 to $3,000 before the new system goes down. California caps a home improvement deposit at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less, and we never ask for more.
These deck and patio prices are estimates and are subject to change. Your written quote after we walk the deck sets the final price and the schedule, and it depends on the square footage, the crack and coping repairs, and the finish you pick.
UV-stable polyaspartic is the system we install on uncovered decks, a quartz broadcast is the grippiest choice for wet zones, and a penetrating stain with a sealer suits a patio that only needs color.
| Material | In full sun | Grip when wet | Return to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| UV-stable polyaspartic with flake or quartz | Will not amber | Good with grit | Furniture back in typically 24 to 36 hours |
| Epoxy-quartz broadcast, polyaspartic top | Will not amber | Best of the four | A pool bath floor typically takes 2 to 3 days |
| Plain 100% solids epoxy | Ambers and chalks | Slick when smooth | Walk-on typically 18 to 24 hours, indoors only |
| Penetrating stain and sealer | Holds color under a UV sealer | Fair with fine grit | Reseal every 2 to 4 years |
If the patio is mostly shade and you want color without a coating, our concrete staining and sealing service is the lighter option, the route we took on a faded back patio of about 340 sq ft in San Antonio Heights. For wet rooms beside the pool, a quartz broadcast floor carries the same grip indoors for an estimated $2,000 to $5,400 per floor.
The crew that grinds your deck is the crew that coats it, and our lead installer times every batch so the texture lands before the resin skins over in the heat. In 12 years and more than 1,187 projects we have learned that outdoor jobs fail at the prep, so we grind every slab and never acid etch.
We coat patios and pool decks across a 45-mile radius of Riverside, with frequent outdoor work on Villa Park estate lots, Diamond Bar hillside pool decks and foothill patios in San Antonio Heights. Victoria Grove and Lake Hills in El Sobrante, Eastvale Square and the hillside cul-de-sacs of Yorba Linda are on the regular route too.
Deck customers often add a driveway coating and resurfacing job or a polyaspartic garage floor in the same UV-stable chemistry.
Most patio and pool deck coatings are typically estimated at $1,200 to $4,000 for 200 to 400 sq ft, and your written quote sets the final price.
A light, textured polyaspartic stays noticeably cooler than dark flake, so tan, sand or light gray blends are what we recommend for Yorba Linda and Villa Park pool decks.
No, we add grit to the clear coat for a 0.60 to 0.85 DCOF, and quartz texture on the steps and coping.
Most decks take an estimated 1 to 2 days to coat, and polyaspartic is typically walkable 4 to 8 hours after the last coat.
Plain epoxy ambers and chalks in direct sun, so only a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat goes on an uncovered deck.
Our deposit never exceeds $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less, as California law requires.

BeforeAfterStart to finish
We walk the slab with you, map cracks, joints and old coatings, and take moisture readings before a system is named.
The system, every coat and its thickness, the colors and the cure and return-to-service times arrive in writing.
The slab is diamond ground with dust control, cracks and joints are filled, and each coat goes down inside its recoat window.
We walk the cured floor with you, go over the care notes and tell you when cars or equipment can come back.
