In Aspen Hollow, Fairfax, VA, we recently completed a residential project involving the coating of a front patio and stairs. The homeowner selected a ‘driftwood’ chip flake color, aligning with the aesthetic appeal of their outdoor space. We opted for polyurea as the coating material, renowned for its durability and resistance to various weather conditions. Initially, the concrete surface exhibited standard signs of wear, including a few minor cracks.
Our team efficiently addressed these by conducting thorough repairs and polishing the concrete to ensure a flawless base for the coating application. This careful preparation was pivotal in achieving a smooth finish that not only enhanced the appearance of the patio and stairs but also promised longevity. The project’s completion brought satisfaction to another Aspen Hollow resident, delivering a visually appealing and durable outdoor area.
In a recent residential undertaking at Wynford Drive in Fairfax, VA, we completed a garage floor coating project that has significantly uplifted the space’s aesthetic and functional value. The homeowner chose a ‘cordwood’ chip flake color for the coating, a choice that brings a warm and inviting feel to the garage. We selected polyurea for the coating, known for its robustness and ability to withstand daily wear and tear.
The garage’s concrete floor was in a fairly good state, showing normal signs of aging and a few minuscule cracks. Our team meticulously attended to these cracks, repairing them to ensure a flawless surface. We then polished the concrete meticulously, preparing it to receive the polyurea coating. This preparation was crucial for achieving a smooth and durable finish. The project’s completion marked yet another satisfied customer in Fairfax, VA, who now enjoys a rejuvenated garage floor that blends functionality with a pleasing aesthetic.
Although epoxy offers initial cost savings, polyurea is better choice in terms of overall performance and long-term cost-effectiveness, owing to its durability and lower maintenance requirements. The decision between epoxy and polyurea ultimately hinges on your needs. Go with polyurea if want a long-lasting, durable coating with minimal upkeep. Alternatively, if you’re pursuing a shorter-term solution or operating on a tighter budget – epoxy might suit your needs. For those with the requisite skills and time, a DIY approach could also be considered.
Typically, the cost of materials and labor varies, averaging around $6.50 per square foot for larger areas like 900 square feet, and going up to $9.00 per square foot for smaller spaces of around 300 square feet.
Polyurea and epoxy are both used for coating concrete, but they’re quite different. Polyurea is stronger and lasts longer, about 15 years, compared to epoxy’s 3-5 years. It bonds deeply with concrete, making it less likely to chip or peel. Epoxy, while protective, just sits on the surface and can wear out faster, especially with heat and sunlight. When applying polyurea, the surface needs more preparation, but this makes it more durable. In simple terms, polyurea is like a stronger, longer-lasting protective layer for your concrete surfaces.

It is always a good idea to consult your HOA regarding rules about painting or installing coatings in outdoor areas visible from the outside. Typically, this would only apply to driveway and sidewalk coatings. We advise you to check with your HOA, review their documentation, and see whether there is any mention of concrete coatings. If there isn’t, you should be clear to have your coating installed.
Epoxy and some other polyurea coatings can only be installed during warmer months of the year. But, our polyurea coating can be installed year-round even in winter, and still only takes a day for installation.
