Short Hills up close
What a Short Hills patio is up against
We finish exterior patios in Short Hills in polyaspartic rather than standard epoxy because it keeps its color, cures fast, and stays flexible through a hard winter. An open patio here bakes in full summer sun that ambers and chalks ordinary epoxy, and then rides 30 to 40 freeze-thaw cycles a season, so the finish has to flex with the slab instead of cracking or peeling at the edges. We work an anti-slip texture into the surface so it grips when it is wet around the grill or the pool.
A lot of these patios are older and have settled, cracked, or spalled over the years. The slab has to be dry and sound before it takes a finish, so we diamond-grind the patio to a clean profile and repair every crack first, the step that lets the coating bond and last. A fast-cure polyaspartic is usually walkable the same evening, so you keep your summer instead of losing the patio for a week.
Our approach
How we build patio epoxy coating in Short Hills
No single approach fits every patio. Here is what goes into a patio epoxy coating that lasts in Short Hills.
Why prep wins
A Short Hills patio lasts or fails before the first coat
Most patio coatings that fail were not beaten by the wrong product. They were rolled over a dusty or damp slab the coating could never bond to. For a patio in Short Hills, we diamond-grind to a clean profile, repair the cracks and pitting, and make sure the slab is dry and sound before anything goes down.
From there we match the system to the patio: Polyaspartic, specified for what this floor actually has to take. The prep is the same rigor every time; the system follows the job.
- Diamond-ground to a clean profile so the coating keys into sound concrete, not a dusty top layer. [ICRI CSP]
- Cracks and pitting repaired and joints honored, so the finish does not telegraph the slab beneath it.
- Dry, sound slab first, the top cause of coating failure, so a moisture test is worth doing where the water table runs high.
- System matched to the patio, not one coating used everywhere.

Standards & specifications
Held to the standards a coating is actually tested against
Every floor answers to load, slip, adhesion, and moisture before it answers to looks. Here is each requirement and the published standard we hold the spec to.
Slab moisture
Older NJ and PA slabs often have no vapor barrier, and vapor pushing up from an unbarriered slab is the leading reason a coating lets go from underneath. The slab has to be dry and sound before we coat, and on a high-water-table or below-grade slab a moisture test (ASTM F2170 or F1869) is worth doing first. [ASTM F2170 / F1869]
Surface profile & adhesion
We diamond-grind the slab to a concrete surface profile that the primer can key into, so the coating bonds to sound concrete rather than to a dusty top layer. Pull-off adhesion is measured to ASTM D7234. [ICRI CSP / ASTM D7234]
Slip resistance (wet)
Anti-slip aggregate broadcast into entries, ramps, and any area that gets wet, dialed toward the ANSI A326.3 wet DCOF benchmark of 0.42. Texture is set area by area, and no wet floor is ever fully slip-proof. [ANSI A326.3]
Compressive & abrasion strength
Industrial epoxies and resinous mortars carry compressive strengths well above plain concrete (ASTM C579) and resist abrasion under Taber testing (ASTM D4060), matched to the traffic the floor actually takes. [ASTM C579 / D4060]
These targets are met by the systems we install and the products we specify into them. Jersey Epoxy is the installer, not a certifying body, so we point to the standard on the spec rather than calling ourselves certified.

FAQ
Patio Epoxy Coating in Short Hills, answered
Why polyaspartic instead of standard epoxy for a Short Hills patio?
An open patio in Short Hills bakes in direct sun, and a plain epoxy topcoat yellows and goes dull under that UV. Polyaspartic holds its color, cures fast so it is walkable within a day, and stays flexible through the 30 to 40 freeze-thaw cycles a winter here, so it does not crack or peel at the edges the way rigid epoxy does outdoors.
My Short Hills patio is older and cracked. Can you still coat it?
Usually yes. We diamond-grind the patio to a clean profile and rebuild every crack before any polyaspartic goes on, and the slab has to be dry and sound first. On an older, settled patio that prep is what makes the new surface bond and last instead of telegraphing the cracks underneath.
Is the patio coating slip-resistant when it gets wet?
Yes. We work an anti-slip texture into the finish so the patio grips under bare wet feet around the grill or pool. No outdoor surface is ever fully slip-proof when wet, and we are straight about that, but the texture gives you real traction in the rain and after a splash.
