Professional-Grade
Patio & Pool Deck Resurfacing in Northeast Ohio
Upgrade Your Outdoor Living with a Permanent, Slip-Resistant Finish.
Concrete patios and pool decks in the Akron area deal with a brutal freeze-thaw cycle. Standard concrete eventually cracks, scales, and stains. At Level Up Floors, we transform tired, gray concrete into high-performance outdoor spaces that stay cool, look incredible, and never peel.
In Northeast Ohio, your patio or pool deck is a battleground. Between the shifting temperatures and the UV rays, standard concrete eventually fails. Most contractors simply "seal" the surface, which traps moisture and leads to bubbling. At Level Up Floors, we treat your outdoor space like an investment. We don't just cover up your concrete; we use a professional-grade diamond grinding process to bond our system deep into the slab. This ensures a surface that is 100% waterproof, salt-resistant, and won't lift when the ground freezes and thaws.
The Level Up Difference: Outdoor Longevity
Beyond the Surface: Why Our Outdoor Coatings Don't Peel.
The Anatomy of an Outdoor Floor:
Our 4-Step System
We believe in transparency. We don't hide our process behind fancy marketing names. Here is the professional-grade breakdown of exactly what we build on your concrete:
Even for outdoor slabs, we grind the surface to remove salt damage and open the pores. This is the only way to ensure the coating won't lift.
A professional-grade primer that seals the slab from the bottom up, preventing moisture from the ground from causing bubbles or cracks.
Step 1: Diamond Grinding
Step 2: Weather-Proof Base Coat
A full broadcast of decorative flakes. This adds the aesthetic "stone" look while providing the essential non-slip texture for wet areas.
The final defense. This top coat is completely waterproof and salt-resistant, protecting your concrete from Ohio's harsh winters and chemicals.
Step 3: UV-Stable Flake Broadcast
Step 4: Polyaspartic Clear Shield
Designed for the Elements (And Your Bare Feet)
Outdoor coatings require a different approach than garage floors. We focus on three critical factors for every patio and pool deck project:
100% UV Stability: We use professional-grade polyaspartic top coats that will not yellow, chalk, or fade under direct sunlight. Your patio will look as vibrant in year ten as it did on day one.
Thermal Protection: Unlike dark, hot concrete or DIY paints, our flake systems help dissipate heat, making the surface more comfortable for bare feet on hot July days.
Safety First:
We integrate a specialized anti-slip additive into the final layer. This provides a "orange peel" texture that ensures grip even when the pool deck is soaked or the patio is covered in morning dew.
OUTDOOR COATING FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the sun turn my patio yellow or cause it to fade?
No. We exclusively use UV-stable polyaspartic top coats for all outdoor projects. Unlike standard epoxies used by "budget" contractors, our professional-grade system is chemically engineered to withstand constant sun exposure without discoloring or chalking.
Is the surface slippery when wet, especially around a pool?
Safety is our priority. We integrate a specialized anti-slip aggregate into the final top coat. This creates a "tactile" grip that ensures the surface remains safe for bare feet and children, even when the pool deck is soaked or the patio is covered in rain.
How does this system handle Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles?
Concrete fails when water gets into the pores, freezes, and expands. Our 4-step system creates a non-permeable, waterproof seal. Because moisture cannot penetrate the slab, our coatings prevent the cracking and "spalling" typical of unprotected Ohio concrete.
Can you apply this over my existing cracked or pitted patio?
Yes. Our process includes a full restoration phase. We use professional-grade menders to fill cracks and divots before we begin the diamond grinding process. We ensure the "foundation" is structurally sound so the final finish is seamless.
How do I clean and maintain an outdoor coating?
Maintenance is nearly zero. Because the surface is non-porous, dirt, pollen, and leaves won't stain the finish. A simple spray with a garden hose or a mild pH-neutral soap and a soft-bristle broom is all you’ll ever need.
How long until I can use my patio or pool deck again?
Our professional-grade materials cure much faster than traditional epoxy. In most cases, you can walk on your new surface in 24 hours and move your patio furniture or pool loungers back into place within 48 to 72 hours.
