Make more of your outdoor space
A patio should feel like part of your home, not a slab you want to hide. We prepare and coat existing concrete patios in Duluth, Superior, and surrounding Northland communities.
We start by checking the concrete, drainage, repairs, and outdoor exposure. Then we help you choose a flake blend and surface texture that fit the space. A coating can refresh a sound slab, but it is not a substitute for fixing structural damage or drainage problems.
A coating system selected for outdoor use
Outdoor concrete needs a system suited to sunlight, water, changing temperatures, and everyday use. We use compatible coating layers and a UV-stable finish selected for those conditions.
Preparation and jobsite conditions matter as much as the product. We check the slab and weather before installation and explain cleaning and care. Texture can improve traction, but rain, ice, leaves, and spills still need attention.
Choose a finish that feels at home
Choose a decorative flake blend that complements your siding, landscaping, and outdoor furniture. You can browse our color options and project photos before we meet.
Screen colors vary. Ask to see physical samples before making your final choice. We will also discuss texture, edges, steps, and the way your patio is used.
What to expect during installation
We inspect the concrete and explain the preparation and repairs in your written scope. Installation typically includes mechanical grinding, appropriate repairs, a compatible base coat, decorative flake, removal of excess flake, and a protective finish coat.
Many residential projects can be coated in one day, but repairs, moisture, weather, and size affect scheduling. We will explain when furniture can go back and when the patio is ready to use.

How It Works
1. Tell us about your project
Tell us about the space, approximate size, and condition of the concrete. Paul or Chad will follow up to answer questions and arrange an on-site estimate when needed.
2. Choose your finish
Tell us how you use the space and the look you have in mind. We will help you choose a coating system and flake blend that fit the project.
3. Know when your floor is ready
We explain the installation schedule and when you can use the finished floor. Timing depends on the concrete, repairs, coating system, and site conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use our instant estimator for a planning figure based on floor size. Our minimum project price is $2,400. Final price depends on slab condition, repairs, access, coating system, and finish; Paul or Chad confirms an exact quote after reviewing the project.
Coating life depends on the condition of the slab, preparation, use, exposure, and maintenance. We mechanically prepare the concrete, repair damage as needed, and explain what to expect for your specific space.
Polyaspartic systems can cure faster than many traditional epoxy systems and offer strong abrasion and UV resistance. The right system and texture depend on the slab, where it is located, and how the space will be used.
Return-to-service time varies with the coating system, slab temperature, weather, and humidity. Your crew will give you project-specific times for foot traffic, furniture, vehicles, and equipment before leaving the job.
We use UV-stable finish coats designed to resist yellowing and discoloration. Product selection, exposure, maintenance, and installation conditions all affect long-term appearance.
Maintenance needs depend on wear, exposure, and the coating system. Follow the care instructions we provide, and contact us if you notice damage or significant wear so we can recommend the next step.
Most residential projects can be completed in as little as one day. Timing depends on floor size, concrete repairs, moisture, access, weather, and the selected coating system; we explain the schedule before work begins.
Sweep or vacuum loose debris, then clean with water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools unless we confirm they are compatible with your coating system.
The coating helps resist common spills, but it is not stain-proof. Clean up oil promptly and follow the care instructions for your floor.
We start with the condition of your concrete and how you use the space. Moisture, traffic, sunlight, cleaning, and your preferred finish guide the recommendation. We explain the preparation and coating layers in your proposal.
Polyaspartic coatings are fast-curing protective finishes in the broader polyurea family. In a concrete floor system, they can provide abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and UV stability when paired with proper preparation and compatible base coats.
Some polyaspartic systems can be used outdoors. We evaluate the concrete, drainage, moisture, exposure, and required texture before recommending a system for a patio, walkway, or other exterior surface.
Polyaspartic systems can be used in garages, shops, commercial spaces, patios, walkways, and some other concrete areas. We select the system and surface texture for the location, traffic, exposure, and maintenance needs.
Installation typically includes mechanical grinding, repairs, a compatible base coat, full flake broadcast when selected, scraping and cleanup, and a protective finish coat. The exact steps depend on the slab and system.
Application limits depend on the specific product, slab temperature, air temperature, moisture, and weather. We check jobsite conditions and schedule installation within the manufacturer’s requirements.
Polyaspartic systems can cure quickly, but actual cure and return-to-service times vary by product and jobsite conditions. We provide specific instructions for walking, furniture, vehicles, and equipment after installation.
Proper preparation, repairs, mixing, timing, and application all affect how a coating looks and performs. Armor Coating Co. uses professional grinding equipment and an experienced local crew to install the complete system.
Sometimes, but the existing coating and bond must be inspected first. Loose or failing material usually needs to be removed, and the floor must be mechanically prepared before a compatible new system is installed.
