Liquid Coating Designs

Sept. 30, 2016
It has been one year since my parents have had Liquid Coating Designs redo their large patio and pool deck. I would not recommend their company for many reasons. When they first came to the house the one question that was asked of them, was their product for use around a pool to keep the deck cool on your feet in the summer months as that was our biggest concern, they assured us it was. We had the patio and pool deck installed in October 2015. When the project was finished the problems began. We had chosen the limestone look to the finished product. The first six months we had continuing problems with the finishing work to the product. We had them return numerous times for cracking cement, uneven areas with pooling water, delamination of the concrete, sloppy work in the joist areas between pool deck and patio, they even charged us at one point $ 200 to complete one area to our satisfaction. But the real problem arose when the summer of 2016 arrived and the temperature rose. The product then used was not a cool deck and you cannot walk on it without shoes on. At that point we were at the end of our patience. It took weeks for them to return calls and show up to do repair work. We finally insisted on the owner of the company to show up. When Mr. Charles Suhay appeared he told us their was nothing we could do about his product we would just have to live with it being hot in the summer. It is interesting that the business card we were given when we initially signed up with the name of Charles Suhay was not the man who came to the house and said he was Charles Suhay. He was intimidating, and was unsympathetic to our concerns, he finally placated us by giving us a a one time yearly sealer. Since that visit and their fifth return repair work has been a couple of months. But in that short period of time there has appeared more cracking and more delamination, I just can’t stand the thought of trying to have them return to my parents home and start this process again. I guess there is an obvious reason why they give you a three year warranty. We have had many contractors over the years, but this company was the worst.

Love these guys! Best decision ever. We had a major project and our floors were in awful shape. We considered a number of options, got a number of estimates, and Liquid Coating Design was very reasonably priced. Orlando was invaluable and knowledgeable in helping us decide on the best design for out property. The results have been beautiful. The workers were very fast, polite and thoughtful. Orlando was the job Forman and he was out almost every day checking on the job. We are so happy with the results. Highly, highly, highly recommend them. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

Liquid Coating Designs recently re-​surfaced my driveway and adjacent walkways, front stairs, and porch. I cannot bestow sufficient superlatives to adequately express our delight with the finished product and the professional orderly manner with which it was completed. The crew was very professional and thorough, carefully preparing the existing pavement which assured us of a lasting result. The crew was prompt and organized and the project manager, Al Martinez, stopped by several times to check the progress and make suggestions. The finished product is quite extraordinary and looks remarkably like a real stone surface with natural textures and artfully applied nuanced colors and patterns. We had a garage sale right after completion and more people stopped by to inquire about the driveway than to purchase our wares! Of course we were flattered and hope more people in our neighborhood opt for the process as well. Thank you Charlie, Al and Lorraine, Reuben and Jorge!

I am writing this review on behalf of my grandparents who are more than pleased with the work this company did on their backyard patio. My grandparents decided to go with this company over their competitor (whom they got a quote from) because of all their positive reviews on Unilocal.The installers were friendly, polite and graciously cleaned up their work at the end of each day so it wasn’t an eyesore throughout the process. Not to mention, their patio looks incredible! They also saved some money from not having to lay all new bricks and tiles. We will gladly recommend this company to anyone.

Liquid Coating Designs provided excellent service from the sales staff, office manager and the crew which did the work in my backyard. Everything from the color scheme, finished texture and consistency over a very large patio. They finished within the time promised and consistently had us check the work to ensure we were getting what we wanted. We are going to definitely enjoy our backyard and pool this summer and will be proud to entertain family and friends. Thank you Charlie, Lorraine and Al!

We are delighted with the work that Liquid Coating Designs has done for us. Charley, Al, Lorraine and their team of artisans were professional, polite, on time and on budget. Perhaps most importantly, the finished product of our pool deck is simply beautiful and all that we had hoped for. The care and commitment of the team day in and day out for doing a superb job was plainly evident. My wife and I highly recommend Liquid Coasting Designs.

Liquid coating did some work for us in November, we were surprised in the attention to detail and how accommodating
The workers were. Ruben is a true artist. we would of gave them 5 stars but we weren’t happy with the shinny sealer, which the project manager said it would tone down in a month or so. All said we would highly recommend liquid coating

We have a large patio, front entry way and long walkway of aggregate that had to be resurfaced. The guys did a beautiful job. It took a while, using their sample boards, to get the colors and look that we wanted. We provided a couple of pictures to give them an idea of what we were looking for. They were patient and didn’t rush us. The result is beautiful. They even did a special design on our front stoop based upon our design. They cleaned up each day and were easy to work with. We are very pleased.

We had 1000 square foot coated (driveway, walkway and porch) and we are extremely pleased with all aspects of the process and finished job. The workmanship done by the team and especially Rosendo was professional and honestly beyond what we expected (i.e. matching the bricks of our house and fence in the design). 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)

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.

It looked good right when they finished, But then it has gone downhill fast since. Here are some of the problems: 1) We now have constant flooding and pools of water all over the place when it rains or even just gets wet from the hose 2) The color has faded really bad or is gone completely in several areas 3) The coating has cracked and broken off in several places. 4) The areas they filled with concrete and then the coating have cracked
This was one of my worst decisions ever to use this company.

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! Beware, they do not seem to honor their warrantees by trying to ignore issues.
I would not recommend them, since their so-​called custom coating seems to have problems.

My ugly duckling patio is now a beautiful swan, thanks to Liquid Stone!
The company does only one thing and they do it right: they change unsightly plain cement (driveways, patios, paths, and vertical elements like fireplaces, planters, benches) into something lovely. In our case, two old wood decks and a small aggregate cement patio were magically transformed into a larger, flagstone-​patterned patio. The work was done on time, on budget and exactly as promised. The workers were efficient, neat and just nice guys. Highly recommended.
