What we coat

Residential and light commercial concrete, inside and out.

Every floor gets the same prep: diamond grinding to open the concrete, crack and spall repair, then a full-flake polyaspartic system. We do not roll paint on top of dirty concrete.

Grind and repair

Diamond grinders with dust extraction open the concrete. Cracks, pits and spalls get filled and ground flush.

Why polyaspartic

Epoxy is what peels. This is not epoxy.

Most "epoxy floors" that fail were either a kit rolled over unprepped concrete, or a true epoxy that yellowed and lifted after a few winters of salt and hot tires.

Polyaspartic cures in hours, not days, flexes with the slab, and does not yellow in sunlight. It costs more per gallon than epoxy, which is why the big-box kits do not use it, and why we do.

Prep matters more than product. We grind every floor. An acid-etched or shot-blasted surface does not give the coating enough to hold onto, and no warranty survives that.

"Two guys showed up at 7, floor was done by 3. Salt and slush from two cars all winter and it still looks like the day they left. Hosed it out in April."

"Quote was exactly what we paid. They found a crack under the old paint I didn't know about and fixed it as part of the job."

"Had a different company's epoxy peel after two years. This has been down three and nothing. Should have called these guys first."

Questions

Things people ask on the quote.

How much does a garage floor coating cost?

Most two-car garages in the Capital Region land between $2,800 and $4,500 depending on square footage, how much repair the concrete needs, and whether you want the stem walls coved. We give a fixed price at the on-site quote and it does not change.

Can you install in winter?

Yes. Polyaspartic cures down to about 20°F, so we work year round. Winter and early spring are actually the easiest times to get on the schedule.

Do I need to empty the garage?

Floor clear is ideal. Shelving, a freezer or a workbench that cannot move, we work around and coat up to the edge. Cars need to be out for the install day and the following night.

What about cracks and pitting?

Every job includes crack and spall repair. We grind, fill with a polyurea repair compound, and grind flush before coating. Large structural cracks or heaving slabs we will tell you about at the quote rather than coat over.

Will it be slippery when wet?

Full flake gives some texture on its own. For pool decks, porches or anyone who wants more grip we add an anti-slip aggregate to the topcoat at no charge.

How is it different from the epoxy kits at the hardware store?

Product and prep. Kits are water-based epoxy rolled onto acid-etched concrete, and they peel under hot tires within a couple of years. We diamond-grind the slab and use a polyaspartic system that flexes, does not yellow and is rated for vehicle traffic.

What does the warranty cover?

Peeling, delamination and hot-tire pickup for 15 years, in writing, transferable if you sell the house. It does not cover damage from structural slab failure or chemical spills left to sit.
