Professional concrete finishing for garage floor

Turn Your Garage Into a Showroom

Your garage floor takes more abuse than almost any other surface on your property. Oil drips, tire marks, spills, and constant vehicle traffic all take their toll. A plain concrete floor shows every stain and gets dusty no matter how often you sweep. The good news is you do not have to live with a dull, stained garage floor.

We install garage floors and protective coatings throughout Quincy and Adams County. Whether you need a new concrete floor for a new garage or you want to upgrade your existing floor with a coating system, we can help. A properly coated garage floor is easier to clean, resists stains and chemicals, and looks great for years.

If you are building a new garage or replacing an old floor, we pour level, durable concrete that is ready for a coating system. If your existing floor is in good shape, we can prepare it and apply a coating without tearing anything out. Either way, you get a garage floor that performs better and looks better than plain concrete.

Garage Floor Coating Options

There are several types of coatings and finishes available for garage floors. Each has its own benefits and ideal uses. Here are the most popular options we install.

Epoxy Coatings

Epoxy is the most durable and popular garage floor coating. It is a two-part system that bonds to the concrete and creates a hard, glossy surface. Epoxy resists stains, chemicals, oil, and abrasion. It comes in a variety of colors and can include decorative flakes or chips for added texture and visual interest. Epoxy floors are easy to clean and can last 10 to 20 years with proper care.

Polyurethane and Polyaspartic Coatings

Polyurethane and polyaspartic coatings are similar to epoxy but cure faster and resist UV damage better. These coatings are often used as a top coat over epoxy to add extra protection and shine. Polyaspartic coatings can be applied in colder temperatures and are ready to use within 24 hours, making them a good choice when you need a fast turnaround.

Sealers and Stains

If you want a more natural look, we can apply a concrete sealer or stain. Sealers protect the concrete from moisture, stains, and wear without changing the appearance much. Stains add color and depth, giving the floor a polished, finished look. Sealers and stains are less durable than epoxy but are a good option for lighter use garages or if you prefer a more subtle finish.

Decorative Finishes

You can customize your garage floor with decorative flakes, metallic finishes, or color blends. Flakes add texture, hide imperfections, and create a speckled look. Metallic finishes create a unique, high-end appearance with depth and shimmer. We can help you choose a finish that matches your style and your budget.

If you are also planning driveway work or patio installation, we can coordinate everything so your entire property gets upgraded at once.

How We Install Garage Floor Coatings

A coating is only as good as the preparation underneath it. If the floor is not properly cleaned and prepped, the coating will not bond correctly and will fail prematurely. Here is how we ensure a long-lasting finish.

Surface Preparation: We start by grinding or shot blasting the concrete to remove any existing coatings, stains, or contaminants. This also opens the pores of the concrete so the coating can bond properly.
Crack and Damage Repair: If there are cracks or damage, we fill and repair them before applying the coating. This prevents the cracks from showing through and ensures a smooth, even surface.
Priming: We apply a primer coat that helps the main coating adhere to the concrete. The primer also seals the surface and prevents air bubbles from forming.
Base Coat Application: We apply the main coating in one or more layers, depending on the product and desired thickness. We work carefully to ensure even coverage and a smooth finish.
Decorative Additions: If you choose flakes or other decorative elements, we broadcast them into the wet coating for a uniform look.
Top Coat: We finish with a clear top coat that adds extra protection, shine, and UV resistance. The top coat also makes the floor easier to clean and maintain.

Most garage floor coatings cure in 24 to 48 hours, depending on the product and temperature. We give you specific instructions on when you can walk on the floor and when you can park your car. With proper care, your coated floor will look great and perform well for years.

Maintenance is simple. Sweep regularly and mop with a mild cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. If your floor does get damaged, we can repair or recoat it to restore the finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

A professionally installed epoxy coating can last 10 to 20 years or more, depending on how much traffic and use the garage gets. Light use garages like those used for storage last longer. Garages with heavy vehicle traffic or frequent use may need a fresh top coat after 10 to 15 years. Proper maintenance and avoiding harsh chemicals help extend the life of the coating.

We can coat most existing garage floors as long as the concrete is in decent shape. The floor cannot have major cracks, severe spalling, or moisture issues. We prepare the surface by grinding or shot blasting to create a clean, rough surface that the coating can bond to. If your floor is damaged, we can repair it before applying the coating, or in some cases, recommend pouring a new floor.

Epoxy can be slippery when wet, especially with a high-gloss finish. To prevent slipping, we add decorative flakes or non-slip additives to the coating. These create texture and improve traction without sacrificing the look or durability of the floor. We can also use a matte or satin finish instead of high-gloss if you prefer a less slippery surface.
