In Westlake, a polyurea patio or entryway coating typically costs $7–$10 per square foot installed, is finished in a single day, and carries a 15-year warranty. Most Westlake homes — particularly the newer builds in Hidden Pines, Enclave, and Dover Bay — have larger back patios and formal front entryways that benefit from a matching coating system. Polyurea is UV-stable, which means your Westlake patio stays the color you chose.
If you live in 44145, your back patio and front entryway are doing more work than almost any other concrete on the property. They're hit by full afternoon sun, full winter freeze-thaw, and constant foot traffic from the pool, grill, and front door. This guide covers what a real patio coating costs in Westlake, which neighborhoods we serve, and why a UV-stable polyurea system is the only finish worth installing on outdoor concrete in this market.
Why Westlake homes need a UV-stable patio coating
Westlake's newer subdivisions were built with the patio as a feature, not an afterthought. The colonials in Hidden Pines, the lakefront-adjacent builds in Dover Bay, and the executive homes in Enclave were all designed around outdoor living — pergolas, outdoor kitchens, big back patios off the great room. That concrete is on display from May through October.
Sun is the problem most homeowners don't think about until it's too late. A sealer or an epoxy patio coating will yellow, chalk, and fade within two summers of direct Westlake sun. By year three the color you picked is gone and the finish looks dusty. Stamped concrete is even worse — the color hardener fades unevenly and the joints collect dirt and moss.
A polyurea base with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat is engineered for exactly this. It does not yellow. It does not chalk. The flake blend you choose on day one is the floor you'll see in year fifteen. For the full system breakdown, see our outdoor patios and entryways service page.
What does a patio or entryway coating cost in Westlake?
Pricing in Westlake matches our Greater Cleveland market: $7–$10 per square foot installed. That includes diamond grinding, crack repair, the full polyurea base coat, decorative flake broadcast, UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, cleanup, and our 15-year residential warranty.
Here's what that looks like by surface for a typical Westlake home:
- ✓Formal front entryway / porch (~100–150 sq ft): $800–$1,500
- ✓Small back patio (~250 sq ft): $1,750–$2,500
- ✓Standard back patio (~350–450 sq ft): $2,500–$4,500
- ✓Large entertaining patio (~500–700 sq ft): $3,500–$7,000
- ✓Pool deck or wraparound surround (~800+ sq ft): $5,600–$10,000+
What pushes you toward the higher end: heavy spalling on an older stamped patio, custom multi-color flake blends to match a stone or brick exterior, or wrapping a coating around a pool deck.

Which Westlake neighborhoods and streets do you regularly serve?
All of Westlake — every ZIP code in the city and every neighborhood in between. That includes the newer executive builds in Hidden Pines, the Enclave subdivision, and the lakefront-adjacent homes in Dover Bay, the established neighborhoods along Center Ridge Road and Detroit Road, and the colonials off Bassett Road and Hilliard Boulevard.
We also coat patios and entryways throughout neighboring Bay Village and Rocky River — same crew, same materials, same 15-year warranty. Full service-area details are on our Westlake location page.
Can you coat a front porch and back patio in the same day?
Yes, on most Westlake homes. A typical front entryway and a standard back patio are both within reach of a single one-day install when scheduled together. Our crew arrives in the morning, masks both surfaces, runs the diamond grinder, repairs cracks, and lays down the polyurea base, flake broadcast, and polyaspartic topcoat across both areas in sequence.
Bundling the porch and patio also gives you a matched look from street to backyard — same flake blend, same color, same finish. It's one of the most common requests we get from homeowners in Hidden Pines and Enclave who want the outdoor concrete to read as part of the home's design rather than a patchwork of finishes.
What does the installation day look like for a Westlake patio?
One day, start to finish. Our crew arrives in the morning, you have your patio and entryway back by the next morning. The sequence is the same on every Westlake job:
- ✓Move-out and masking — we move planters, furniture, and grills off the patio and mask siding, railings, and adjacent landscaping.
- ✓Diamond grinding — industrial grinders profile the slab and remove any old sealer, stain, or weathered surface concrete.
- ✓Crack and joint repair — every hairline crack, control joint, and spalled edge is filled and leveled.
- ✓Polyurea base coat — moisture-tolerant base coat goes down across the full surface.
- ✓Flake broadcast — decorative color flake is broadcast into the wet base for texture and a granite-like finish.
- ✓Polyaspartic topcoat — UV-stable topcoat seals everything in and locks in your color for the life of the system.
- ✓Reset — we walk the patio with you and stage your reset for the next morning once the surface is ready for furniture.
How long before we can put our furniture back?
Light foot traffic the same evening. Furniture, planters, and grills back on the morning after install. The polyaspartic topcoat is hard-cured within hours, which is why this system works for tight one-day turnarounds even on busy entertaining patios.
For weighted items like a fire table, a hot tub, or a stone outdoor kitchen base, we recommend waiting 48 hours from the topcoat application. That's the only meaningful disruption to your outdoor living routine.
Recent Diamond Concrete Coating Projects in Westlake
We've coated patios and entryways across Westlake over the last few years — colonial front porches in Hidden Pines, standard 400 sq ft back patios in Enclave, and wraparound entertaining decks on the Dover Bay side of the city.
The pattern is consistent: homeowners with weathered, dust-colored stamped concrete or a faded acrylic sealer finally pulling the trigger on a real system. Most are surprised at how much the back of the house lifts visually once the patio is finished. None have called us back for warranty work.
Why do Westlake homeowners choose Diamond?
We're local, we're family-owned, and we don't subcontract. Every Westlake job is run by our own crew with our own equipment. We use industrial diamond grinders — never acid wash — and we install only polyurea/polyaspartic systems. No epoxy. No stamped overlays. No franchise upsells.
Every residential install comes with a 15-year warranty against peeling, delamination, fading, and material failure. If you're weighing your finish options, our comparison of polyaspartic flake vs. stamped concrete for Ohio patios is worth a read before you commit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a patio coating cost for a typical Westlake home?
Most Westlake back patios run $2,500–$5,000 for a full polyurea/polyaspartic system with decorative flake. A formal entryway or front porch typically runs $800–$1,500. Both prices include diamond grinding, crack repair, base coat, flake broadcast, UV topcoat, and the 15-year warranty — no surprise add-ons on install day.
Do you coat stamped or textured existing concrete?
Yes, as long as the surface is sound. We diamond-grind off the existing color hardener and sealer, repair cracks and spalled joints, and lay the new polyurea system over a clean profile. The decorative flake topcoat gives the patio a fresh, modern finish that hides the old stamp pattern entirely.
Can you match a house color?
We offer 20+ standard flake blends and custom blends on request. For Westlake homes, the most popular pairings are warm-gray and tan blends that pull from the brick and stone on the home's exterior. We'll bring the full sample kit to your on-site estimate so you can hold blends against the house in real light.
Is polyurea safe around kids and pets?
Yes. Fully cured polyurea and polyaspartic are inert and food-safe — the same chemistry is used inside commercial kitchens and food-processing facilities. Once the topcoat is cured, the surface is non-leaching, easy to rinse, and safe for kids, pets, bare feet, and grilling.
Do you serve Bay Village and Rocky River too?
Yes — both are part of our core Westlake service area. Same crew, same materials, same 15-year warranty. We coat patios and entryways from the Bay Village lakefront down through Rocky River and back into Westlake on a regular weekly schedule.
Do you offer free estimates in Westlake?
Yes — free, on-site, no pressure. We'll walk the patio and entryway with you, measure, point out any crack or moisture issues, hold flake samples against the house, and give you an honest flat-rate price. Most Westlake bookings happen within 48 hours of your call.
