Yes. Because patios are outdoor living spaces, Shark Coatings can adjust the texture of the finished surface to better suit the environment. Your Shark Coatings Concrete Specialist will discuss your project and recommend the appropriate finish based on how you plan to use your patio, creating a beautiful surface that’s comfortable and functional for everyday outdoor living.

Yes. Shark Coatings can coat your patio right up to your existing screen enclosure, creating a clean, finished appearance without removing or disturbing the enclosure.

If you’re planning to install a new screen enclosure, we can complete your patio coating either before or after the enclosure is installed. However, we typically recommend coating the patio first. This allows the entire concrete surface, including the area beneath the enclosure, to be coated. If you ever decide to replace, relocate, or expand your screen enclosure in the future, the concrete underneath will already have the same beautiful, finished appearance.

Your Shark Coatings Concrete Specialist will be happy to discuss your project and help determine the best installation sequence based on your plans.

Yes. If your patio has existing drainage designed into the concrete, it will continue to function as intended after your Shark Coatings installation. Our crews carefully follow the existing drainage patterns and do not block or interfere with intentional drainage solutions, helping water continue to flow as designed.

Yes. Shark Coatings can coat many vertical concrete surfaces, including steps, knee walls, and other concrete features, provided they are made of concrete and are fully accessible to our installation team. During your free estimate, your Shark Coatings Concrete Specialist will evaluate your project and discuss which vertical surfaces can be included to create a seamless, finished appearance.

No. Shark Coatings’ premium decorative flake flooring system is specifically designed for outdoor environments in Florida and Georgia. Our UV-stable topcoat is engineered to withstand years of sun exposure while helping maintain the beauty of your patio. With proper installation and routine care, your patio is designed to provide long-term performance and lasting beauty for years to come.

Keeping your Shark Coatings patio looking its best is simple. For routine maintenance, a leaf blower or garden hose is often all that’s needed to remove dirt, leaves, and everyday debris. For occasional cleaning, a mild soap mixed with water and a soft-bristle brush will help remove stubborn dirt and keep your patio looking fresh.

Unlike untreated concrete, Shark Coatings’ decorative flake flooring system doesn’t typically require frequent pressure washing to maintain its appearance. That means less time spent cleaning and more time enjoying your outdoor living space.

Yes. Your Shark Coatings patio can be pressure washed whenever needed. While pressure washing is perfectly safe for your coated patio, most homeowners find they don’t need to do it nearly as often as they did with bare concrete. Routine maintenance is typically quick and easy, helping you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your backyard.

Yes, in most cases. Many patio cracks can be professionally repaired before your new Shark Coatings system is installed, often making them appear as though they were never there. Every project begins with a thorough evaluation of the existing concrete so we can determine the best repair approach.

Because concrete is a natural material, it expands, contracts, and moves over time. If there is continued structural movement beneath the concrete, repaired cracks may become visible again in the future. Should that happen, Shark Coatings can return to repair the affected area for a service fee, helping restore the appearance of your patio.

Yes. Some homeowners love the look of a two-tone patio to help define different outdoor living areas or create a custom design.

When possible, Shark Coatings uses your existing expansion joints as the natural transition between colors. This creates a clean, intentional appearance while working with the existing layout of your concrete and maintaining the integrity of the slab. Your Shark Coatings Concrete Specialist can help you explore design options that complement your home and outdoor living space.

No. While we’ll need access to your patio, you don’t have to remain home throughout the installation. Our team can complete the work while you go about your normal day, whether that’s heading to work, running errands, or simply enjoying some time away.

We’ll discuss any access requirements before your installation date, communicate with you if anything comes up during the project, and review the completed installation with you once everything is finished.

Yes. Shark Coatings can remove existing paint and old coatings as part of the preparation process before installing your new decorative flake flooring system. During your free estimate, your Shark Coatings Concrete Specialist will evaluate your patio and determine the best preparation method based on the condition of the existing surface. Proper surface preparation is one of the most important steps in creating a beautiful, long-lasting finish, and our team takes the time to ensure your patio is properly prepared before your new coating is installed.

One of the biggest advantages of a Shark Coatings patio is how easy it is to maintain compared to untreated concrete. Because the surface is non-porous, leaves, mulch, tree sap, dirt, and other everyday debris are less likely to leave lasting stains when cleaned promptly. We recommend routinely removing organic debris and cleaning up spills as they occur to help keep your patio looking its best. With simple, routine maintenance, your patio will remain a beautiful outdoor living space that’s ready for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories with family and friends.
