Concrete Coatings in Upland, CA
David Paul Foster Co. applies and services coatings throughout Upland, from the Euclid Avenue median up toward the foothill streets below the San Gabriels.
Coatings built for Upland homes.
Upland sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains with a well-preserved older core and a lot of established, mature-landscaped residential streets. The concrete tends to be older, well cared for, and attached to houses where the owners care what the finish looks like.
Upland work skews decorative and it skews careful. These are established properties with mature landscaping, and the concrete has to sit with what is already there rather than announce itself. Staining tends to beat coating for that, because color in the slab reads quieter than color on top of it.
The foothill streets in San Antonio Heights get colder winter nights than the valley floor, which is worth a look at existing cracking before anything goes over a slab.
What we run into in Upland
Shade matters here too, in a good way. Mature trees mean a lot of Upland patios are not taking the full unshaded sun that Moreno Valley or Fontana patios take, which widens the range of finishes that will hold their color.

Concrete Coatings in Upland, questions
We want the concrete to be understated, not a feature. What suits that?
A penetrating stain, usually. It colors the slab rather than laying a film over it, so the finish reads as concrete rather than as something applied. On established Upland properties with mature landscaping that is almost always the better-looking answer.
Does the shade from mature trees change what we can use?
It helps. A patio under real shade is not taking the UV load that an open inland slab takes, which widens the range of colors and systems that will hold up. It does mean more organic staining and leaf litter, which is a cleaning question rather than a specification one.
Do you work up in San Antonio Heights?
Yes. The foothill properties get colder winter nights than down in the valley, so we look a bit harder at existing cracking before recommending an overlay, but it is normal work.
