Love the work Liquid Coating does. Our patio looks fabulous and we get tons of compliments. They did the original work about 15 years ago and we've had them back twice since then to freshen it up and fix some spots. We took out our diving board and slide into the pool this year which left some large divets in the pavement. They fixed them and refreshed the entire surface. Orlando was great, staying in touch and Jesus and company worked really hard to get the job done. It's a very labor intensive process and they work diligently to complete the job. Job was completed in 6-1/2 days AND they helped put all the furniture and plants back out. Very happy customers. read more

Liquid Coating did a phenomenal job taking the old, dated aggregate patio and brick pool copping and transforming, not only the hardscape, but bringing new life to the entire backyard. The crew members were top notch and brilliant craftsmen. The quality of work is outstanding! Truly a work of art. Irlanda and Orlando were responsive, professional and a joy to work with from beginning to end. Thank you Liquid Coating. I only wish Yelp allowed us to give more than 5 stars. read more

We just had our entire front driveway and walkways redone by Liquid Coating Designs of Pleasanton. Our original walkway was an uneven aggregate and not properly sloped in places. The large 3 car driveway was a different concrete surface. Charlie, the owner, met with us to show us examples and options for a cohesive finish over all the surfaces with the look of custom stone blocks that didn't require any tear out. Once we agreed to proceed they started by making us a very large sample board customized to the style and color scheme we agreed to. I admit I asked for a few adjustments to color on the board and they were very accommodating. Once we were happy with the board they knew exactly how to proceed to give us what we wanted. The final product exceeded all our expectations. It looks amazing and keeping it clean has been easy, such as the ability to spray with water to get the bird droppings off. We were also very impressed with the crew, who were professional, pleasant and very hard workers. Diego (crew chief) and Gerardo started early and worked full days non stop until the job was done to perfection. They managed to work around cold weather and even a few rain days. The Project Manager, Orlando, checked with us daily to explain what to expect and address any questions. The site was always kept clean and orderly with regular drop offs of material and pickup of debris by Ches. We had many people walk by asking about the process and amazed that no tear out was needed. Our neighbors are impressed with the final product and we highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs to them and anyone else. We are including some before and after pics to show the transformation a bit. It is truly a work of art! It's all hand tooled and colored with NO stamping. read more

Our pool deck (old aggregate cement) was in major need of a facelift. The little stones were dislodging and painful when stepped on. I had seen a friend's cement resurfacing project which did not impress me as you could still see every existing crack and previous imperfection. I called Liquid Coating Designs after searching for "no cement tear out" companies, and I am so glad I did. Liquid Coating is amazing. The transformation has been fantastic and beyond what I had expected! Working with Liquid Coating Designs has been a joy. After giving them a call to request a quote, Irlanda came to our house, provided information and showed a video of what we can expect. I was excited to say the least. When the work commenced, I could see it was a process, but I enjoyed watching every step of it. I couldn't imagine staples in concrete until I saw them up close (green things in picture below)! Orlando, the foreman, would come by according to my schedule to give me updates and answer any questions. The crew was very efficient, showed complete respect for our property and cleaned up every afternoon before they left (hoses were rolled, taped and stacked in a pile). This level of meticulousness should be a course every contracting company should take. Liquid Coating Designs is a company which takes pride in its product and its work. They should! I walk out onto our pool area (barefoot) and cannot believe what a transformation I now have. I absolutely love it. I highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs. This is a company that has achieved perfection from start to finish. THANK YOU Liquid Coating Designs! read more

Our pool deck and patio area needed work. We did not want to install a new cement pool deck, so I looked for resurfacing cement. Liquid Design is a process that is different from resurfacing. Liquid Design Coating is a wonderful family-run company...very professional, neat, on time. Our job took three weeks which is what they predicted. We are so excited about how our yard looks, we are enjoying it everyday. It feels as if you are at a resort on vacation. We truly recommend Liquid Design Coating!!! read more

amazing transformation by Liquid Coating Designs. After meeting with a few different coating companies, we ultimately decided on LCD for several reasons. 1) They are the only coating company that actually specializes in stone coatings. This was extremely important for us. 2) Their customer service is beyond amazing and professional! Prepare to be blown away! 3) From when you are first greeted over the phone to when you first meet with a team member, everyone is very informative, helpful, and extremely accessible. I never had to wait long for someone to get back to me for any question or anything. Once the project started, the foreman checked in every day, and answered all of our questions throughout the process (and we had a lot!). The crew was here on time every single day, and worked hard to give us the pool deck of our dreams. Our crew chief Diego was so incredibly talented. We were in awe watching him carve the designs and blend the colors by hand. After being burned by other contractors, and met with a lot of disappointment, we had lost hope until we came across this company. They are family owned and operated, stand by every wors they say. Best decision we've made an a long time and we will definitely be referring all of our friends and family to this company! We couldn't be more pleased! read more

Ten years ago we hired LCD to transform our newly purchased home's HUGE backyard that has a pool deck and patios. Pavers and concrete were insanely expensive so we decided on LCD. They did a fantastic job then. Fast forward a few years, we had them do touch ups and sealing. Again, fantastic experience. We live in hilly area and wear and tear took a toll like any hardscape would. Come 2023/2024, we decided it was time to do a complete refresh and update the color palate. The amazing Charlie came out and assessed what needed to be done - repair settling areas, replacing mastic joints, etc. The lovely Irlanda was accommodating and communicative. They worked with our timeline and waited for our go ahead. Enter Cheshvan (aka Ches) and his partner (sorry didn't get his name). They worked for 2 weeks with skill and professionalism. They showed up every day at the same time and even came on a Saturday to complete the job. Ches was simply amazing. He gave us continual updates on timeline and shared what to expect each day. We shared pictures of colors we liked from the LCD website and he created sample areas where we could select the colors and pattern. As a side note, we had just completed an addition and major renovation on the house and had a VERY difficult and painful experience with other contractors who were messy, not reliable and did sub par work. (Our PTSD was real, and if you've ever done construction, perhaps you can relate.) Ches restored our faith in skilled workers who were professional and ethical. He is a true artist with such a kind and humble nature. Thank you Charlie, Irlanda, Cheshvan and partner for giving us a beautiful space that was pain free and enjoyable. We LOVE you guys. read more

When making a major investment like a patio or driveway, there are so many considerations. One big one is will it last? Along with that comes the question about whether the company can be counted on in the long run. We had a backyard patio done by this company 11 years ago. Over those years, a few cracks appeared (adobe soil contraction in our area). Also, the relentless sunshine caused fading in some areas. Recently I contacted Liquid Coating again to see about getting the patio refreshed. Everyone, from the receptionist, estimator, foreman and worker, was so professional and responsive. The refresh process was comprehensive--crack repair, power wash, re-stain and re-seal. It was done over four days and at a very reasonable cost. Honestly, it looks like new. I could not be happier. If you are thinking about using this company, you should proceed without hesitation. They are quality people who do quality work. They take pride in their work and they stand by it. Your satisfaction is important to them. Most highly recommended! read more

We wanted to get our backyard patio replaced because it was showing age. After getting several quotes that were very high, we called Liquid Coating Designs. They came in with a different solution that was significantly cheaper. It also looked so much better. The design is amazing. We even had them do a retaining wall as well as our pool coping. This brought our backyard all together in a seamless design. The team took their time and did everything right. They were clean and they are truly artists. We are so pleased. We actually have a situation here where the least cost was the best solution. Cannot recommend them strongly enough. read more

We found out about this "AMAZING" company in a home improvement magazine. Gave them a call to request a quote. Charlie(owner)came to our home for a in-depth tutorial about Liquid Coating. Our pool decking was stamped concrete that we had for about 20 years, it had cracks and quite faded. It needed a facelift hence, we hired Liquid Coating to do there magic! We had the pleasure of working with Irlanda. The project was slated for October, but we got pushed up to September-Yay! Orlando and his team, Gabino and Jose began what would be a two week project. Gabino and Jose were such hard workers, showed up on time, they were always respectable of us and our home. At the end of their work day, they cleaned up so meticulously that you wouldn't know we had a project going on. Gabino had to get creative working around the pool edge...he is a MacGyver for sure . He placed a piece of wood in the deep end of the pool, a makeshift scaffold, if you will, because he had to get in the water. Very creative! They finished the project within two weeks. Our decking is absolutely "stunning!" We are super happy with the finished project. Charlie and his staff are just wonderful people! Irlanda was easy to communicate with, super sweet! Orlando was very nice. He periodically came to check on how the project was coming along. We genuinely enjoyed Gabino and Jose. We appreciated them very much. If you're looking to beautify your home's exterior, hire Liquid Coating Designs. They are not just contractors they are professional ARTISTS!! Thank you to all at Liquid Coating Designs! read more

If we could give 7 stars, we would! My wife and I are so incredibly happy we called on Liquid Coating Designs. Charlie - the owner - started the process with a visit to our home, describing his unique techniques, chemistries and artistry. Then, our crew of Orlando, Gavino and Juan worked under the hot sun and delivered! They not only salvaged our tired 43 year old aggregate pool decking, they turned it into a real showpiece! Just unbelievable how great things look now and what it did for our back yard. Thank you Charlie and your team.... we are forever grateful!! read more

We are very pleased with the work that was done at our house. Orlando, the supervisor, and his team provided excellent work and customer service. They would create various cement sample boards and grout colors to determine exactly what we would like as a final product. In our initial research and consideration, we weren't sure if this would look good or be done well over existing concrete. However after having them come over to give a free estimate, and offer insights and suggestions on how best to do and look, we decided to proceed. To our amazement, the final work product was great! We couldn't be happier. We feel like we now have a brand new backyard. After we saw how great the backyard looked, he had them do the front walkway as well! We spend more time in the backyard now with the new floor that makes it more inviting. Our neighbors and friends love how it looks and have also contacted them to do their houses. From a person who doesn't usually write reviews, I just wanted to give a big shout out to liquid coating designs for their excellent work and customer service. It was well worth doing this versus ripping out all the old concrete. read more

I first reached out to Liquid Coating Designs (LCD) over 20 years ago. I was looking for a solution to replace the aggregate cement that was all around the pool, back and front walkways. The aggregate was hard on the feet. I considered pavers but that would involve tearing out all the cement all around the pool and the house and the cost was prohibited for me. I also needed to add drainage around the side of the house which would involve building a retaining wall. After several bids for cementing and pavers, I thought there was no way I could afford to do half of what I needed to accomplish, but life has a way of presenting solutions. I found Liquid Coating in one of these Home magazines you get in the mail and was intrigued because their solution did not involve any tear out. After making an appointment with Liquid Coating Designs, Charlie showed up explained the entire process, no pushy sales pitch, just straight honest suggestions and consultation. Soon after his team began work at our house. Orlando managed the team and Gabino was the master painter and both worked in tandem, seamlessly. I was amazed as I watched the guys do their work, they were like artists, taking their time, working on every stone, making sure it blended and fit like a masterpiece. The stones looked so real and gave the pool area and surrounding walkways, a boost of color and an inviting look. The retaining wall they built, matches the current retaining walls around the pool area so well, that you can't tell the difference. These guys are truly masters of their trade. Fast forward to this year. We had major drainage problems under our home which led us to install French drains around the entire house. This involved tearing out most of the front and back yard, the deck, outdoor grill area and some areas around the pool. The construction was a major ordeal and lasted over five months. We were left with open areas where the deck used to be and we were completely overwhelmed around what to do next. Installing pavers was an option but then it would not match the Liquid Coating areas by the pool and the paver solution we considered, was too expensive. We reached out to LCD and Charlie came to meet with me. In my overwhelmed state, Charlie helped me review all the options available, whether it was pavers, simply cement or Liquid Coating. Again, no pushy sales pitch, just honest suggestions. The decision was made to go with Liquid Coating, and again, that has turned out to be the best decision/investment. The crew fixed, refinished and sealed all the damaged areas, left by the construction and also tried to make the new areas left by the demolition of the deck and grill space, closely match the design and color of the existing Liquid coating design by the pool and walkways. This was hard to do. After the work was completed, I could still differentiate between the new areas and the old, so I reached out to Liquid Coating again, spoke with Irlanda, who by the way is extremely accessible and helpful. She got me on the schedule soon after and sent Gabino out to touch up the areas. Again, Gabino was punctual, listened to my concerns and put his artistry at work. In a few days, all was done to my satisfaction. I can't say enough about Liquid Coating Design, it's refreshing, especially during Covid times, to have a company answer your call, listen to your needs and help you with a solid, no nonsense solution. I get complements all the time about the work that they have done, it looks so much like real stone that seasoned contractors have commented how they thought the stones where real. As for me, I happy to have found an affordable solution that looks so darn good! If you are thinking about doing any concrete resurfacing projects small or large, I highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs, not only do they do and excellent job, they are one of the few contractors that I have hired that show up on time, pay attention to details, are extremely responsive to my needs and reasonably priced. Thank you Liquid Coating Designs Team! read more

Our home was, built in the early 1960's. The backyard patio, driveway, and surrounding sidewalks were exposed aggregate. Over time, the cracks in the drive way and sidewalks become unsightly and we had to either rip it all out and replace it with new concrete or use Liquid Coating Design. Our neighbors used this company to redo their back patio and around the pool. I was blown away on the outcome. We had a quote and made a $500 deposit to get on their work schedule. If we had second thoughts, we could have canceled before the work started and get our $500 deposit returned. No risk. We were scheduled for about 3 weeks out. The workers showed up on day one to prep the surfaces. They treated the back patio and the driveway as two separate projects, as it was a lot of square footage. They pressure washed the aggregate, very strong water pressure. Over the next 6 weeks we had three workers (sometimes two) working from 7 AM to 4:00 every weekday. Their work is tedious, which makes sense. They are artisans. They made 4 sample boards about 2' x 4' with different designs and textures. We selected a large flagstone. For the cracks in the driveway and sidewalks, the use about 1/2 rebar, bent in to the shape of a large staple. They drill holes into the concrete and a 1/2 channel to accept the staple. They must have put 25 not he whole property. This was genius. Once the overlay was put down, they wait a bit, and then go back with pads to kneel on a carve in the desired design. After some other tedious cleaning the seems, they will apply the color of your choice. Once they added the color, we saw that the larger area would require a darker color and they went back and added more color to darken some stones. They did so without hesitation. After a few days, they add a sealer which makes the color come to life. They were able to cover the concrete and brick that was a landing in front of our doors. I find the sealer also allows me now to blow the area clean or hit it with the hose and cleans much easier. My wife and I are 100% pleased with the outcome and the work these artisans performed. I can't image what we would have turned up if we had jackhammers to remove the old concrete and pour new concrete. I highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs. read more

Orlando and Jesús did a great job on my 29 stairs. They removed the plaster layer and resurfaced the concrete. They presented various color and style options and communicated very well throughout the job. They were on-time, did not try to upsell or expand the scope and finished as expected. Would definitely recommend them. read more

I should have called Liquid Coatings Designs right back when they promptly returned my call in September. Instead we met with at least six other companies who wasted our time. From the initial consultation with Irlanda to meeting with Orlando and watching Ricardo and his crew over 3.5 weeks, we cannot say enough about the quality, workmanship, communication and overall awesome experience. Every step of the way we were consulted, all our questions were answered and the backyard, driveway and stairs could not be more beautiful. Orlando checked in almost daily, Irlanda followed up, they redid the sample boards until we were completely happy and just made the entire process enjoyable. I would recommend them 100% and without reservation. read more

We LOVE our new pool deck. We tore out old concrete and added new concrete around our new pool. We had concerns about trying to match existing concrete colors and found Liquid Coatings could layer on top of both and give us a whole new look. Orlando kept us well informed of when they would be working and what needed to be done on our part.

We had our entire backyard done about a year and a half ago. The team was super professional and the end result was gorgeous. Not too long after though we started getting a few visible cracks. Just sucked it up as "one of those things". This past 4th, noticed a few more and decide to reach out. Much to my pleasant surprise the owner, Charlie, was more than happy to completely stand behind his product. His team has been back out for the last week, repairing, reinforcing, replacing where necessary. It's refreshing to find a company so eager to stand by their product. read more

Had Liquid Coating perform their maintenance on work I had done a few years ago. Cheshvan and his helper did a tremendous job taking the old sealer off, power washing, fixing and repairing cracks, re-staining certain areas and sealing it all up again. Looks brand new again. They were both very neat, clean, thorough and very professionally with everything that was done. Would strongly recommend them again. read more

I'll reiterate my review. This company never contacted me after I gave them a bad review that they deserved. Instead, they go out publicly stating how my review was "offensive". They never bothered to contact me though to fix it. How is that possible? I only copied and pasted their response to my initial inquiry. Nothing offensive about it other than your predicated response. This had nothing to to with COVID, if that is just your protocol. Admit that you only take clients that are willing to pay over $8.5k, apparently. You don't take small jobs, yet you call yourself a "just started" business? I guess business goes zero to 200 miles per hour, even these days. read more

We had 1000 square foot coated (driveway, walkway and porch) and we are extremely pleased with all aspects of the process and finished job.

It has now been 4 months since the it was installed and we are still extremely pleased and everyone who sees it raves as to how good it looks (I have also attached a few photos) read more

Just had our backyard patio around pool & pathways done. Excellent presentation by Charlie, Owner, explaining process of liquid coating & gave suggestions on design. Juan & Gerardo were amazing! Hard working, talented with colors & design (flagstone look) & got job done within 2 weeks!! Orlando, Supervisor came by every day to inspect job & discuss where we were in process.

The pool decking and the walkway outside of our back door was finished with exposed aggregate concrete. It was about 30-years old and contained several cracks and also several wooden expansion joints in which the wood was rotting. We were not looking forward the expense, time, and mess of removing and replacing the concrete. I saw an advertisement in a home magazine for Liquid Coating which seemed to solve these issues. I made an appointment and Irlanda met us at our home. She had a full presentation on her laptop and answered all of our questions. She also supplied us with references so that we could see what the finished product would look like. We went ahead with the project. Orlando was our project manager. We had some delays due to our pool remodel and Irlanda and Orlando both worked with us and waited patiently until everything was ready for them to start. It took a little over a week and the project came out great. We are very happy with the outcome. The service provided by Irlanda, Orlanda, and the crew was exceptional. read more

I am so impressed with this business. As a person that has worked with many contractors on various projects on our home. I can honestly say it was the best experience. Their work is perfection. It's a work of art. It came out better than we could have ever imagined. Orlando was our foremen on the job. He made sure everyday that we liked the work that was happening and what was next to come. The crew was neat and clean and the work they do is perfection. The sample board they provided was just what we wanted. We knew exactly what the outcome would be. You can sit back and relax.

After numerous efforts (3 continuous weeks) to have them come out to see problems with delamination, we have been ignored and told their guy is very busy!

It looked good right when they finished,,, But then it has gone downhill fast since.

We hired Liquid Coating Design to redo the entirety of the pavement in our backyard. This was a total area of 1,040 sq feet that they did over an 11 day period. They also added a step for our dog door completely free of charge! I can't recommend these guys highly enough - Al, Abel and the rest of their crew have been some of the most diligent, detail oriented, courteous, and neat builders we've ever hired. They took every precaution not contaminate any of the yard with the materials they were using. Everyday, before leaving, they made sure to store all their supplies in the most efficient and out of the way places possible - we hardly noticed their presence. The work itself is flawless - looking just the way it was advertised. We were a bit hesitant due to the complains in the other reviews - so we waited over a week to see any deterioration in the work. To our great delight, the surface still look wonderful and shows no signs of deterioration. The natural colored organic shapes have made our yard a much more cozy and welcoming place - we look forward to enjoying it for years. read more

Thirteen years ago we used LCD to turn our very large circular worn out concrete driveway into a masterpiece. Back then we were absolutely AMAZED at the transformation! We were told to call them back in 5 years to reseal -but you know how that goes! Other projects came first. So with time, weather and neglect I couldn't even pull into my driveway without wincing at the fading, the chips, the eye-sore that it had become in 13 years without every having touched it again. Praying they would still answer their phone post-Covid, I called this year and Irlanda found my old paperwork and driveway dimensions, we face timed my driveway, I showed her everything wrong with it, she consulted with Charlie and we settled on a price. Work began when we agreed it would - Chesvan was on time, courteous, easy to work with and he developed a new color scheme with my approval to match the new paint color of my house as well as the bay window stone facades of my house that are also LCD material. Even my lamp/mailbox posts were once again transformed by this product and their team. He is a true master of his artisan craft! I had to go out of town in the middle of the project and Chesvan gave me daily text updates and we even did a FT call to make sure he understood what I wanted in a certain area. I just went out to get the paper and my gorgeous new driveway is sparking and fresh! I am no longer embarrassed - my curb appeal is back! I highly, wholeheartedly recommend Liquid Coating Designs. Money well spent and your neighbors will thank you! read more

We are super happy with the work done and will recommend them to anyone who wants the driveway turned into a beautiful piece that makes you happy everyday! read more

Too bad I didn't yelp under this name: I saw the good review under liquid stone and only now - after their work - found these other reviews. Ok, this review may very well be filtered but here it goes: Nice enough estimator (the owner?) came out to bid and was on time. Bid was not the cheapest and he really talked up the 'custom' formulation side of their materials. I hired them and the wait to start wasn't all that long. Existing concrete prep was good and reasonably thorough though the crew used fiber tape in interesting areas (in areas with neither cracks or joints). They made two sample boards as promised and we selected a pattern. Working with the on-site crew was difficult for their total lack of English and the job foreman was mostly absent... even standing us up on occasion. They started on the primary layout and made basic colorings on the selected pattern sample. The language barrier made the coloring stage especially difficult - relying on the foreman to direct via phone the color... a second coloring sample never was made despite his agreement to it - we 'wore down' thinking he could pull it through. We actually never achieved a perfect color 'fit'. Fine, its close enough I guess. Sealing and expansion joints were an absolute nightmare: Sealing changed the coloring and appearance significantly. In retrospect it should have been part of the sample board. In this final stage, the crew was sloppy - applying sealant very unevenly and spilling joint mastic (drops) everywhere. It took them three trips to get it cleaned up (somewhat) and the sealant somewhat consistent looking. With respect to proprietary coating formulations: I never saw anything used other than quickcrete and other commercially available materials on site. With the recent rain, there is standing water puddles (albeit only an 1/8" thick) everywhere and those curious fiber joints they applied under the coating? .... when wet, they show as long dark lines running across patio. One final note on coloring: They use commercially available concrete stain and don't color the concrete slurry so that the first chip or break will expose the concrete colored substrate. read more

Our job was quite large - entire pool and patio decking over exposed aggregate, also walls and exposed foundation blocks. The results were beautiful, and we were very pleased. As someone else said, the workers were very easy to work with and would go to any length to get the design and coloration exactly as we wanted. I knocked off one star because of two things: first, the workers disposed of their colored waste liquids in some places where we wished they hadn't; second, the process of deciding on what color and design you want needs some streamlining. That was the most difficult part for us, and we felt that somehow we, as complete novices, needed some better way to arrive at a design and a picture of what we were going to end up with. The sample boards only go so far, and in reality many iterations are needed to come up with the desired end product. I will say that they did patiently work with us, but we felt a little bit as if we were stumbling in the dark. The net, though, is that the result is beautiful. read more
