What do you get with Longhorn’s Luxury Coatings?
Not every surface needs to be replaced. A sound slab or block wall can be stained, stamped or faced in faux stone and come out looking like it was quarried, for a fraction of the cost of tearing it out.
We use it to tie a whole backyard together: the pool deck, the patio, the kitchen island and the columns all speaking the same language.
- Acid and water-based staining for warm, mottled tone
- Stamped concrete in slate, flagstone and wood-plank patterns
- Faux stone work on walls, columns and outdoor kitchens
Most concrete coating projects we build are designed at the same time as the hardscaping, outdoor kitchen and patio cover. That is the whole point of one team drawing the yard before anyone digs.
How are Luxury Coatings installed, priced and cared for?
Whether a coating is right depends on the slab underneath. If the concrete is sound and mostly level, stain or a stamped overlay is a good way to change the look. If it has heaved, sunk or broken into pieces on Blackland clay, coating it only hides the problem for a while, and we will tell you it needs to come out.
Choosing a finish: acid stain gives a mottled, variegated tone, water-based stain gives more even and wider color choices, and stamped concrete adds texture in slate, flagstone or wood-plank patterns. Faux stone works on vertical surfaces like walls, columns and kitchen islands.
What drives cost: the square footage, the condition and prep of the existing surface, the finish and pattern, and how many colors or details you want. Repairs to cracks and drainage come before any color goes down.
The stages are inspection, cleaning and repair, color or overlay, then sealing. Heat and rain decide the schedule, since stain and sealer need the right weather to go on and cure.
Luxury Coatings: common questions
Properly sealed, many years. We reseal on a simple schedule to keep color and protection up in Texas sun.
Usually for pools, structures attached to the house and anything electrical or gas. We file it and handle the inspection so it doesn’t stall your schedule.
That’s the point. One design, one crew and one schedule for the whole backyard, so the pieces fit each other instead of being bolted on one at a time.
Sweep and rinse, clean spills before they soak in, and reseal on the schedule the sealer calls for, sooner on a pool deck or in full sun. Resealing keeps the color from fading and makes the surface easier to clean.
Usually close. We test on a small area and let you see it dry in daylight before we do the whole surface.
Before You Commit to Luxury Coatings
- Prepare the concrete honestly. Staining and stamping only look as good as the surface underneath. Cracks and spalling are dealt with first, or they show through.
- See a sample in your own light. Color on a chip in a showroom and color on your slab in Texas sun are two different things.
- Plan for traffic and heat. Pool decks, walkways and shaded patios wear differently, so the finish and the sealer are chosen for where they are going.
How does a concrete coating project run?
- 1
A free design visit
A designer measures the yard, walks the access a crew would use, and talks through what you want the space to do. You get a firm price, not a range.
- 2
Drawings, permit and HOA
We draw the job, file the permit with your city and follow it through review. Where an HOA needs a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.
- 3
One crew, one schedule
The same team builds the whole thing in the right order, so the slab, the structure, the electrical and the finish work are not three companies blaming each other.

Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished job with you, settle the punch list, and leave you with one warranty covering the work rather than a folder of separate ones.

The damage starts at the post base and the cut ends, and it starts long before anything looks wrong. Here is how to check yours, what to do in which month, and when a post is past saving.

A screen room next to a pool is a good idea that carries one complication nobody mentions in the showroom: it can change where your safety barrier line falls, and that line is inspected.
All-Season Room or Sunroom in DFW: What Changes
In North Texas the gap between a sunroom and an all-season room is not the glass. It is heating and cooling, and the permit, foundation and tax questions that come with it.
