At Permaco Concrete Coatings, we install patio concrete floors that resist heat, moisture, fading, and daily foot traffic in North Carolina.
According to the NC State Climate Office (2024), uncoated patios can reach over 125°F in summer and suffer rapid discoloration and surface cracking.
Our UV-stable, slip-resistant coatings keep patios cooler, cleaner, and longer-lasting in neighborhoods like North Hills in Raleigh, Ballantyne in Charlotte, and Grandover in Greensboro, as well as coastal communities throughout Wilmington.
What Are Patio Coatings and Why They Matter in North Carolina
Patio concrete coatings strengthen and seal outdoor concrete so it can withstand weathering, foot traffic, and year-round exposure. Here’s why they matter for North Carolina homes and outdoor living spaces.
Protection From Heat, Moisture, and Fading
Concrete exposed to sunlight and rain expands, contracts, and absorbs water. This leads to cracking, surface dusting, and color loss. According to the Concrete Network (2024), sealing outdoor concrete reduces water absorption by up to 90%, significantly extending service life in humid and rainy regions like Raleigh and Wilmington.
Safer Surfaces for Entertaining
Wet patios are a leading cause of outdoor slip accidents. The National Safety Council (2023) reports that slip-resistant finishes can reduce accidents by more than 40 percent. Our coatings add traction and improve stability around pool-adjacent patios, courtyards, and HOA gathering spaces.
Built for High-Foot Traffic Living
Communities with active outdoor lifestyles, like Landfall in Wilmington, Cary Park, and Ballantyne, see constant patio use. Permaco coatings resist abrasion, furniture movement, grill heat, and seasonal weather swings without peeling or flaking.
Aesthetic and Architectural Appeal
Our flake, quartz, and solid-color finishes upgrade outdoor spaces with long-lasting style.

Why Choose Permaco Concrete Coatings
At Permaco Concrete Coatings, every patio we complete is backed by testing, craftsmanship, and proven durability across North Carolina’s outdoor environments.
Tested Surfaces, Not Guesswork
Before we start, we run moisture, hardness, and porosity tests to determine the exact prep your patio needs. This prevents bubbling, peeling, or early wear. Most installers skip this step, but it’s the reason our patios hold up in humid and rainy cities like Raleigh, Wilmington, and Greenville.
Custom Outdoor Coating Systems
No two patios are the same, so we tailor each blend to your space. Whether you want a decorative flake finish, a quartz texture, or a solid UV-stable color, we mix the system to match your concrete condition and exposure level.
Local Experience With Real Accountability
Our installers live and work in North Carolina neighborhoods like Cary Park, Ballantyne, and North Hills. We understand the climate, the concrete, and the way North Carolinians use their outdoor spaces. You’ll work directly with our team from start to finish.
Outdoor Durability You Can See
From HOAs and courtyards to backyard patios and restaurant terraces, our coatings stand up to furniture movement, grill heat, heavy foot traffic, and year-round weather. Each project includes documented inspections and performance checks so you know your patio was done right.

Our Patio Coating Process
Every patio we coat follows a controlled, data-backed workflow designed to handle North Carolina’s humidity, heat, and year-round outdoor use.
1. Surface Evaluation and Testing
We start by testing for porosity, surface hardness, and moisture vapor levels. These readings tell us exactly how the concrete will react to grinding and sealing. Moisture testing is especially important in coastal areas where humidity and salt exposure are high.
2. Mechanical Grinding and Prep
Next, we grind the concrete to the proper Concrete Surface Profile. This removes surface wear, opens the pores, and creates a uniform bonding texture. Older patios in locations like Raleigh and Greensboro often need deeper prep before they’re ready for coating.
3. Custom Outdoor Coating Application
We apply a UV-stable, waterproof, and slip-resistant system designed for outdoor surfaces. Our blends stay cool under sunlight, resist fading, and withstand the freeze-thaw cycle common in mountain and Piedmont regions.
4. Traction Sealing
A final clear topcoat locks everything in place. We add the appropriate level of traction texture depending on how the patio is used, dining areas, poolside patios, and HOA courtyards all have different slip-resistance needs.
5. Curing and Final Inspection
Most patios cure within 24 to 36 hours, depending on weather. Once cured, we check adhesion strength, surface consistency, and slip rating to confirm performance before turning the space back over to you.
Patio Coating Timelines in North Carolina
Most patios are completed in one to two days, with full curing achieved in 24 to 36 hours. Weather and humidity can extend curing slightly, especially in coastal regions.
Long-Term Value
According to the Concrete Network (2024), sealed outdoor concrete can last 10 to 15 years longer than unsealed surfaces. Combined with slip resistance and UV stability, Permaco coatings offer both safety and long-term cost savings for North Carolina patios.
Local Patio Trends & Standards in North Carolina
Outdoor living is a major focus across North Carolina, and patios are becoming extensions of the home rather than simple concrete pads. Homeowners, HOAs, and hospitality venues are investing in patio coatings that offer long-term style, comfort, and protection against the state’s weather.
- Cooler, UV-Stable Finishes Are in Demand
With patio surfaces regularly climbing past 125°F in summer, reflective, UV-stable coatings are now standard in communities like North Hills, Ballantyne, and Grandover. These finishes stay cooler and help prevent cracking and coloration.
- Growth in HOA and Shared Outdoor Spaces
Neighborhoods with active outdoor amenities, like Cary Park and newer Wake County subdivisions, are resurfacing patios, courtyards, and clubhouse areas with slip-resistant coatings that handle high foot traffic and year-round exposure.
- Design-Forward Outdoor Living
Patios are increasingly designed to match outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and firepit areas. Decorative flake, quartz, and solid-color systems have grown. You’ll see these trends in public spaces like Freedom Park in Charlotte, garden venues, and updated hospitality decks across the mountains and coast.
