Porches
Porch floors that take weather and daily foot traffic
The same system we install in garages: a diamond-ground slab, an epoxy or polyurea base, a full flake broadcast, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat.
What you get
What a Final Finish outdoor floor includes
Full flake broadcast
Flake is broadcast to refusal across the entire slab, then scraped flat, so the floor reads as one continuous surface.
UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat
The topcoat is the layer that faces the weather. We specify a UV-stable polyaspartic for floors that sit outdoors.
Coated edges and steps
We coat the edges and any step or landing, so the floor does not stop in a raw concrete line at the front of the house.
Long-Term Warranties
A written warranty on the system. Ask what is covered for your slab at the consultation.
What changes on a porch
A porch is covered, and still an exterior floor
These are the four things we plan around before we quote a porch.
Covered, but still outdoors
Shade is not shelter. A porch still sees humidity, wind-blown rain and temperature swings, so we treat it as an exterior floor.
Concentrated foot traffic
A porch takes the whole household crossing a small area. A full flake broadcast under a polyaspartic topcoat is what holds up to that.
The oldest concrete on the house
Porch slabs are usually the most weathered concrete you own. We grind flat, repair, and cover edge to edge.
Edges, steps and landings
Edges are where an outdoor floor looks unfinished. We carry the coating over the step and the landing.
The process
Six steps, start to finish
Most installs take one to two days. Walk on it in 4 hours, drive on it in 24.
- 01
Inspect & measure
Concrete condition and a moisture test, measured on site.
- 02
Diamond grind
We grind the slab to open the profile so the base can bond.
- 03
Repair
Cracks, pits and spalled edges filled and shaped.
- 04
Base coat
A UV-stable polyaspartic base outdoors. A vapor barrier goes under it if moisture readings run high.
- 05
Full flake
Flake broadcast to refusal across the whole floor, then scraped.
- 06
Topcoat & walkthrough
Polyaspartic topcoat, then we walk the finished floor with you.
Colors
Flake blends
Blends are chosen at the consultation against your house and the light the slab gets.
Projects start at $2,500
We price outdoor projects on site, after we measure the slab and moisture-test it. We travel for larger jobs.
In-home consultation
We measure the slab, moisture-test it, and price the floor in front of you. No charge, no obligation.
Openings are pulled from the calendar on the scheduling page.
