Decorative Concrete Coatings for Patios and Porches

Outdoor concrete is exposed to Michigan weather year after year. Freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, staining, cracking, and everyday use can leave patios and porches looking worn.



Best Step Coatings provides decorative concrete coating and overlay solutions for patios, porches, and other exterior concrete surfaces.

Restore Worn Exterior Concrete

Older concrete doesn't necessarily need to be completely replaced to achieve an updated appearance.



Depending on the condition of the existing surface, a concrete coating or overlay system can provide a new decorative finish while covering the appearance of aged, stained, or worn concrete.


Best Step Coatings can evaluate the existing surface and determine whether an appropriate coating or overlay system is suitable for the project.

Multiple Decorative Flooring Options

Homeowners can choose from several decorative approaches depending on the desired appearance and application.

Available systems include:


  • Polyaspartic coatings
  • Quartz systems
  • Flake systems
  • Concrete overlays



Decorative options can be customized to create a finished outdoor surface that complements the surrounding property.

Designs That Go Beyond Plain Concrete

Exterior concrete doesn't have to look like ordinary gray pavement.


Best Step Coatings offers decorative overlay designs that can replicate the appearance of materials such as:


  • Exterior tile
  • Random stone
  • Set stone
  • Wood plank



These decorative approaches can give an existing patio or porch a completely different visual character.

Designed for Michigan's Climate

Exterior concrete in Michigan has to contend with seasonal temperature changes and freeze-thaw conditions.



Breathable concrete overlay systems are available for exterior applications where allowing the concrete assembly to manage moisture is an important consideration.


The appropriate system depends on the existing concrete and the specific conditions of the property.

Create a Better Outdoor Living Space

A refreshed patio or porch can make outdoor areas more enjoyable while improving the appearance of the property.



Rather than living with stained, cracked, or outdated concrete, homeowners can explore decorative coating and overlay options that provide an updated finished surface.

Professional Surface Preparation

As with any concrete coating project, preparation is an important part of the installation. Existing concrete may require cleaning, crack repair, grinding, or other preparation before the new system can be installed.


Best Step Coatings approaches each project based on the existing surface and the requirements of the selected flooring system.
