Patio Coating · Jordan, MN · Est. 1996
Patio Coating in Jordan, Minnesota.
Jordan sits in the Minnesota River valley in Scott County, where Sand Creek cuts down through the bluffs to meet the river. The old town is on the valley floor and the newer subdivisions climb the bluff above it, which gives the city an unusual amount of elevation change for its size. Patio coating for Jordan homes. UV-stable topcoats so the color holds, flexible chemistry so freeze-thaw movement doesn't crack the film, full diamond-ground prep on every job. Jordan's historic core holds late-1800s and early-1900s homes, many with detached garages added much later on slabs of uncertain vintage. The bluff-top subdivisions are a different era entirely: 1990s through 2010s construction with 3-car attached garages and full basements. The elevation difference between the two is the practical story, because a valley-floor basement and a bluff-top basement are not the same job.
Patio Coating in Jordan
What an install looks like in Jordan.
Jordan is a small city with two very different sets of houses, and the bluff is the dividing line. Down on the valley floor the homes are old, the garages are usually detached and added later, and the ground holds water, so a Jordan basement estimate on the flat is a moisture conversation before it is anything else. Up on the bluff the subdivisions are newer, the garages are attached and three-car, the lots drain, and the work looks like any other newer suburb. Both are twenty minutes down Hwy 169 from the Chaska shop, which makes Jordan one of the easier outer cities to schedule.
Patio Coating specifically in Jordan
Patio coatings in Jordan schedule March through November while ambient temperatures stay in product spec. Apex flexible-tier urethane is the pick for outdoor concrete because river-valley ground moves more with seasonal freeze-thaw than upland ground does, and the flexible film bridges that movement. The UV-stable topcoat holds color instead of yellowing through the summer.

Why we don't install epoxy outdoors in Jordan
Why most outdoor patio coatings fail in Minnesota.
Two failure modes dominate: yellowing (epoxy under UV) and cracking (rigid film over a slab that moves with the seasons). Both are coating chemistry problems, not installation problems. Polyaspartic solves the yellowing. Flexible urethane solves the cracking. We don't install rigid epoxy on outdoor concrete, period.
Outdoor epoxy
Common but wrong for Minnesota
- Yellows within the first summer
- Rigid film cracks with freeze-thaw
- Lifts at edges where water sits
- Re-coat needed in 3 to 5 years
Polyaspartic + flexible urethane
What we install outdoors
- UV stable: no yellowing
- Flexible chemistry rides out slab movement
- Diamond-ground prep for full bond
- 10+ year lifespan realistic
If a patio quote you got somewhere else is for epoxy, ask what UV warranty comes with it. The answer tells you whether the installer is selling chemistry that fits or a system they buy by the pail.
Jordan Pricing
Patio coating pricing in Jordan, MN.
Outdoor pricing follows square footage, tier, and prep. Patios with existing stains, prior coatings, or significant cracking need more prep time. Quote is written and fixed once we've seen the slab.
Standard (back patio)
~250 to 500 sq ft
From
$1,800
to $5,800
- Most common outdoor patio install
- Ultimate tier with flake is the typical pick
Large or wrap-around
600+ sq ft
From
$3,400
to $14,400+
- Includes wrap-around or multi-level patios
- Apex tier for slabs with movement or cracking
Outdoor installs run March through November in Minnesota. We schedule peak season (May to September) 3 to 6 weeks ahead because the weather window is finite.
The 6-step install
How we install your floor in Jordan.
Outdoor concrete is unforgiving of cut corners. Same prep, same chemistry, same checklist every install.
- 1
In-home assessment + written quote
Visit the patio, measure, check existing condition (cracks, prior coatings, stains, edge spalling), and write a fixed quote on the tier that fits. - 2
Diamond-ground prep
Full diamond grinding to open the concrete profile. On outdoor slabs this is especially important; weathered surfaces look smooth but the coating won't bond without proper mechanical prep. - 3
Crack and joint repair
Hairline cracks filled and tooled flat. Expansion joints prepped to handle the seasonal slab movement underneath the coating. - 4
Basecoat application
Polyurea or flexible urethane basecoat depending on tier. Rolled and back-rolled at full thickness for even coverage. - 5
Decorative element + UV topcoat
On Ultimate tier: decorative flake broadcast, scraped flat after cure. Then polyaspartic UV-stable topcoat seals the system. This is what makes the difference outdoors. - 6
Walk-through + warranty packet
Final walk-through, written warranty, care guide for the first month. Walk on the patio at 24 hours.
Jordan questions
Common questions for Jordan homeowners.
Does a Jordan basement floor need different treatment down in the valley?
Often, yes, and it is the reason we test rather than assume. Homes on the valley floor near Sand Creek and the Minnesota River sit on ground that holds water, and those slabs push more vapor. A slab pushing vapor will lift a film coating off the floor over time. High readings get a penetrating sealer that lets the slab breathe instead. Bluff-top homes usually test dry and take the standard film system.
My Jordan house is from 1905 and the garage is detached. Can that floor be coated?
Usually, once we have looked at it. Detached garage slabs on historic lots were typically poured decades after the house, sometimes over ground that has since settled, so the assessment comes before the quote. If the concrete is sound, it coats like any other floor. If it has settled or cracked beyond hairline, we tell you that honestly and recommend a concrete contractor rather than putting a finished surface over a failing slab.
Is Jordan far enough out that you charge for travel?
No. Fifteen miles, twenty to twenty-six minutes straight down Hwy 169 from the shop in Chaska. Jordan is inside the standard service area and the drive does not change the quote.
Is a small city like Jordan worth your time for one garage?
Yes. Clear View is owner-operated and takes a finite number of projects a year rather than chasing volume, so a single garage in Jordan is a normal booking and not a favor. The one thing distance does affect is scheduling flexibility, so if a neighbor is considering the same work, mentioning it can sometimes open an earlier date for both.
Will the patio be slippery when wet?
Decorative flake adds texture to the surface so wet traction is comparable to bare textured concrete. For pool decks and high-slip-concern areas, we can add an aggregate to the topcoat for additional grip. Brought up during the estimate.
How does it handle Minnesota winter?
The polyaspartic UV topcoat is rated for full freeze-thaw cycling. Salt and ice melt don't damage it. Snow shovels are fine. Sharp metal blades (sleds with metal runners) can scratch the topcoat just like they would any finished surface.
What about the rest of the year? Will it fade?
No. Polyaspartic is UV stable, meaning the topcoat doesn't yellow, chalk, or fade. This is the chemistry difference vs epoxy. Color holds for the life of the coating.
Can I have a custom color?
Yes. Decorative flake comes in dozens of standard color blends, and we mix custom blends on request. Brought to your in-home estimate as samples so you can see them on the patio before committing.
What if my patio has cracks?
Hairline cracks get filled during prep. Larger active cracks get evaluated; either repaired as part of the install (Apex tier handles them best) or, if the slab needs more substantial work, we say so honestly.
How long does an outdoor install take?
Most patios are 1-day installs. Larger or multi-level patios run into a second day. Weather has to cooperate; we don't install on rainy days or below curing temperatures.
When can I put furniture back?
24 to 48 hours for furniture, depending on weight and topcoat cure. Plant pots and grills go back in 48. Heavy stone or built-in features in 72.
Can I coat a stamped or decorative patio?
Yes, but the Essential penetrating sealer is usually the right tier. A film coating covers the stamped pattern; if you want to preserve the decorative look, the sealer protects it without changing the appearance.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Written limited warranty, terms vary by tier, walked through during the in-home estimate so you know exactly what's covered.
