After painting their back porch four times, these University City, Missouri homeowners were ready for a better solution. They were tired of the peeling, cracking paint and the constant upkeep, and they wanted something that wouldn’t just last, but look good too.
That’s when they discovered Garage Force of Southwest St. Louis Metro, and everything changed.
The Problem: Paint That Couldn’t Keep Up
Like many homes in the St. Louis area, their porch had become a sore spot. Despite the charm of their brick exterior and copper gutters, the porch floor told a different story: faded paint, hidden old tile glue, and a patchy finish that required attention year after year. They needed a concrete coating that was durable, stylish, and installed properly.
They were frustrated and ready for a change.
What they wanted:
✔️ A durable, low-maintenance surface
✔️ A color that matched their home’s aesthetics
✔️ A long-term solution that wouldn’t need constant repainting
Our Solution: Garage Force Full Chip System in Saddletan
We have installed floor coatings in University City, Missouri before, so we were ready to tackle this job and give them a concrete coating that would last and be ready to handle the Missouri weather. After a thorough consultation (with a bit of back-and-forth on colors), we helped them land on our Saddletan full chip system, the perfect complement to her brick façade and warm tones.
But before we could lay down our proprietary polyurea Cyclospartic coating, we had work to do.
We began by grinding and removing all layers of old paint and hidden tile glue, not only on the porch floor but also the exposed edges of the floating concrete structure. Then we carefully protected the home’s brickwork, copper gutters, and surrounding driveway, ensuring nothing but the porch got coated.
With St. Louis humidity and heat in full swing, we set up shade structures to control the surface temperature. This attention to detail is part of what sets us apart. Our goal is always a flawless application and a happy homeowner.
The Process
Our Verifloor Verified installation process included:
🔹 Base coat application using our industrial-grade Cyclospartic
🔹 Full broadcast of our Saddletan vinyl chip blend
🔹 Protective top coat that seals in beauty and durability
🔹 Anti-slip traction and UV protection built in
🔹 Lifetime warranty for peace of mind
All in just one day.
The Result: A Porch That Finally Feels Finished
The transformation was immediate and stunning. The homeowner was thrilled. They shared that the color choice was perfect, and they couldn’t believe how much better it looked than anything paint had ever offered.
They finally had a porch they were proud of, with a surface that’s built to withstand Missouri’s wild weather, heavy use, and time. We can’t wait to install more concrete coatings in University City like this one!
