Garage & Concrete Epoxy Floor Coatings
Garage, patio and commercial floor coatings that survive hot tires, oil and daily abuse — because the concrete underneath was actually prepared first.
A coating is only as good as the concrete under it
Every failed garage floor we get called to look at failed the same way: the coating peeled off in sheets, still intact, with clean concrete underneath. That's not a product failure. That's a bond failure, and it means the slab was never properly profiled.
Concrete straight out of a garage is sealed, contaminated with oil, and far too smooth for a coating to grip. A roll-on kit from a big box store bonds to the surface film rather than the slab. It looks great for a season, then a hot tire lifts a corner and the rest follows.
We mechanically grind the slab to open the pores, repair cracks and pits, and only then coat it. That step is the entire difference between a floor that lasts years and one that peels before the next summer.

How the job runs
Our process
- Moisture and condition check
We look at the slab for moisture issues, existing coatings, oil saturation and cracking. A slab pushing moisture from below needs a different approach, and it's better to know before we start than after.
- Mechanical grinding
The floor is ground with diamond tooling to remove old coatings and sealers and to open a proper profile. This is the step most cheap quotes leave out, and it's the one that determines whether the floor lasts.
- Crack and pit repair
Cracks are chased out and filled, spalled areas and pits are patched, and control joints are treated so they don't telegraph through the finish.
- Base coat and flake broadcast
The base coat goes down and decorative flake is broadcast into it to refusal. Once cured, the excess is scraped and vacuumed and the floor is sanded flat.
- Clear top coat and cure
A clear coat seals the flake and gives the floor its wear surface. We'll give you a schedule for foot traffic and vehicle traffic — rushing a car back on green coating is how you get tire marks in a brand new floor.

Questions
Epoxy Floors FAQ
How long does a garage epoxy floor take?
Most residential garages are a one to two day install depending on square footage and how much repair the concrete needs. Cure time is separate: light foot traffic is usually possible within about 24 hours and vehicles after several days, and we give you the exact schedule for the system we install on your floor.
Can you coat over an existing epoxy or paint?
Sometimes, but it depends what's under there and how well it's bonded. Usually the right answer is to grind the old coating off. Coating over a failing surface just means the new floor fails with the old one.
Will the floor peel like the kit I bought at the hardware store?
Not if the prep is done. Those kits typically call for an acid etch, which doesn't open the slab anywhere near enough on a hard-troweled garage floor. Mechanical grinding plus a professional-grade system is a different category of product and a different bond.
Is epoxy slippery when wet?
A smooth clear coat can be. The decorative flake systems we install add texture, and we can add a slip-resistant additive to the top coat for patios, entryways or anywhere the floor gets wet.
Can you do patios and outdoor concrete?
Yes. Outdoor concrete needs UV-stable products because standard epoxy ambers in direct sun, so we spec the top coat accordingly for patios, walkways and pool decks.
How much does a garage floor coating cost?
It comes down to square footage, the condition of the slab and how much crack and pit repair is needed before coating. A two-car garage in good shape is very different from one with oil saturation and spalling. We'll measure and give you a written number.
