The Difference
Why Sullivan’s Is the Right Call for Your Patio
A patio coating fights a different war than a garage floor. The sun is the enemy. So is the freeze and thaw cycle. So is the splash from a pool deck, the foot traffic from outdoor furniture, and the weight of a grill that has not moved in three years. Most coatings buckle under one of those conditions, and most epoxy patios visibly fade within a single Kentucky summer. Sullivan’s installs a different floor.
UV Stable for Life
The polyaspartic top coat does not yellow, chalk, or fade under direct sunlight. Year ten reads the same as install day.
Built for Freeze Thaw
Kentucky and Indiana winters punish coated concrete. Our system is engineered to ride out the seasonal expansion and contraction without cracking, lifting, or losing its bond.
Outdoor Tough Finish
Foot traffic, dropped tools, dragged furniture, and wet feet from a pool. None of it fazes the polyaspartic top coat.
Lifetime Residential Warranty
Most patio coatings carry a single year workmanship warranty. We back every Sullivan’s patio for life.
The Patio Coating Built to Live Outside
Sullivan’s installs three coating systems: flake floors, grind and clear, and polished concrete. For a residential patio, the right call is almost always a flake floor. The flake itself adds traction underfoot, which matters on a wet pool deck or a rain soaked patio, and the decorative chip blend hides the surface variation that older outdoor slabs always have. The polyaspartic top coat shrugs off UV exposure, freeze and thaw cycles, and pool splash where epoxy gives up.
UV Stability: Why Most Patio Coatings Yellow Within a Year
Walk through any neighborhood with older coated patios and you will see the same thing on most of them: a yellowed, chalky finish that does not look anything like the day it was installed. That is not weather damage. That is epoxy reacting to sunlight.
Standard epoxy is not UV stable. Direct sunlight breaks down the chemistry, which is why an epoxy floor in a shaded basement looks the same in year five as in year one, but an epoxy floor on a sunny patio is unrecognizable in the same span of time. The fix is not more sealer or a fresh top coat. The fix is different chemistry.
Polyaspartic is engineered to handle UV exposure as a baseline requirement. The top coat does not break down under direct sun. The flake colors do not fade. The finish on year ten reads identical to install day. For a patio in Kentucky or southern Indiana, where the sun does not negotiate, polyaspartic is the only chemistry we install.

Your Patio, Coated in a Single Day

COAT YOUR PATIO STEPS. THEY'RE THE FIRST THING TO GO.
Patio steps take everything your outdoor slab takes, including sun, rain, and freeze and thaw cycles, plus something your flat patio does not: edge wear. Every time someone steps on and off a bare concrete step, the nosing erodes. Water gets into the surface, freezes, and cracks it. Algae and moss find the rough spots first. And a wet concrete step is a slip hazard that a coated one is not.
Sullivan’s coats patio steps with the same polyaspartic flake system as your patio surface. Same chip blend, same slip resistant texture, same UV stable top coat that will not chalk or yellow in direct sun. They get coated the same day as your patio, and the result is one continuous surface instead of a finished patio with a few crumbling steps in front of it.
YOUR SIDEWALK IS CONCRETE TOO. TREAT IT LIKE IT.
A sidewalk takes more daily foot traffic than almost any other surface on your property, and it lives fully exposed to everything Kentucky weather throws at it. UV breaks down bare concrete over time. Water works into surface cracks, freezes, and widens them every winter. The result is a sidewalk that looks worn out years before it should, and one that gets slippery the moment it rains.
Sullivan’s coats sidewalks with the same polyaspartic flake system used on patios and pool decks. It seals the surface against moisture and freeze and thaw damage, adds grip underfoot, and stays UV stable without chalking or fading in direct sun. The chip blend ties it visually to the rest of your outdoor coating work, so your patio, steps, and sidewalk all read as one finished exterior rather than a collection of surfaces that each got treated separately.

Crack Repair, the Prep Step Most Patios Need
A patio slab takes more abuse from the seasons than almost any other surface on a property. Freeze and thaw cycles, root intrusion, and decades of exposure leave most older patio slabs with at least a few visible cracks. The cracks are not a structural problem on their own, but they will read through a coated patio over time if they are not handled before the coating goes down.
Crack repair is a slab prep step. We open every visible crack with a diamond V cut, work in a polyurea putty mixed with silica sand, and bring the repair flush with one final grind.

FAQs
Patio Coating Questions, Answered
Will the patio coating fade or yellow in the sun?
No. The polyaspartic top coat is UV stable, which means direct sunlight does not break it down the way it breaks down standard epoxy. The flake colors and the clear top coat read identical on year ten as they do on install day.
Is the patio coating slippery when wet?
No. The flake itself creates a textured surface, and we can adjust the texture by varying the flake size and broadcast density to match the environment. For pool decks and splash prone areas, we recommend a heavier broadcast for additional traction.
Can a Sullivan’s coating handle a pool deck?
Yes. The polyaspartic top coat is chemical resistant enough to handle pool water, chlorine splash, and the freeze and thaw cycle that destroys most pool deck coatings. The flake also adds the underfoot traction a wet pool deck needs.
What about freeze-thaw cycles in Kentucky and Indiana winters?
The system is engineered to handle freeze and thaw cycles. The polyurea base coat bonds aggressively to properly prepared concrete and stays bonded through seasonal expansion and contraction. The polyaspartic top coat flexes with the slab without cracking or lifting.
What if my patio slab has cracks?
Almost every older patio slab does. Crack repair is the standard prep upgrade for a Sullivan’s patio install, and we handle it the same day before the coating goes down.
Can the coating be installed if my patio is partially shaded?
Yes. Sun exposure is not a requirement for install. The system performs the same in full sun as it does in deep shade.
What happens if it rains the day before my install?
The slab needs to be dry before any coating goes down. We monitor the forecast in the days leading up to install and reschedule if the slab will not be dry on install morning.
What is the warranty on a residential patio coating?
Lifetime warranty. Every residential patio we install is backed for the life of the slab.
