Exterior Concrete Coatings in Elk Grove Village, North Shore, Chicago, IL & Southern Wisconsin

Patios & Pool Decks Sealed Against Chicagoland Freeze-Thaw Cycling

Without a waterproof seal, Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles force small surface cracks wider every single winter.

Unsealed patios and pool decks absorb standing rainwater that freezes and expands during Chicagoland winters, causing surface pitting, flaking, and structural cracks. A1 Concrete Coatings Inc. seals outdoor concrete with flexible polyurea and polyaspartic systems designed to expand and contract with natural temperature swings without cracking or peeling.

Unlike standard epoxies, our exterior coatings are 100% UV-stable to prevent yellowing under harsh sun and feature slip-resistant texture built for wet pool decks and walkways. Installed in any season, our weather-proof coatings protect your investment for years backed by a lifetime warranty.
