Garage Floors (Epoxy & Coatings)
Transform your garage into a clean, professional space with durable epoxy floor coatings.
Why Epoxy Garage Floors
Your garage floor takes serious abuse from vehicles, tools, chemicals, and daily traffic. Standard concrete stains easily, dusts constantly, and looks dingy no matter how much you clean it. Epoxy coatings transform that dull gray slab into a durable, attractive surface that resists damage and stays looking new. The high-gloss finish reflects light to brighten your space while providing a tough protective layer over the concrete.
Practical benefits make epoxy ideal for garages. The seamless, non-porous surface resists oil stains, chemical spills, and hot tire pickup. Cleanup becomes simple because you can sweep away debris and mop up spills without them penetrating the floor. The coating also stops concrete dust from forming, keeping your garage and vehicles cleaner. These features make epoxy especially valuable if you use your garage as a workshop or hobby space.
Design options let you customize your garage appearance. Solid colors create clean, modern looks. Decorative color chips add visual interest and texture while hiding dirt and imperfections. Metallic epoxy creates dramatic, unique patterns that look like polished stone or molten metal. You can even add logos, custom colors, or patterns to personalize your space. The result is a garage floor that looks as good as it performs.
Our Epoxy Installation Process
Surface preparation determines whether your epoxy floor succeeds or fails. We start by thoroughly cleaning the concrete and removing any existing coatings, sealers, or contaminants. Diamond grinding opens the concrete pores and creates the proper profile for epoxy adhesion. We repair cracks and spalls, then vacuum and clean again to ensure a dust-free surface. This careful prep work takes time but guarantees proper bonding.
Installation Steps
- Thorough concrete cleaning and contamination removal
- Diamond grinding for proper surface profile
- Crack and damage repair as needed
- Primer application for enhanced adhesion
- Base coat epoxy application
- Decorative chip broadcast if desired
- Clear topcoat for durability and gloss
Application requires skill and proper conditions. We apply a primer coat that soaks into the concrete and creates a strong foundation. The base epoxy coat goes on next in your chosen color. If you want decorative chips, we broadcast them into the wet epoxy for texture and visual appeal. After curing, we apply a clear topcoat that protects the floor and creates the final glossy appearance. Temperature and humidity must be controlled throughout for proper curing.
Maintenance and Care
Epoxy floors require minimal maintenance to stay looking great. Regular sweeping or dust mopping removes dirt and debris. Occasional damp mopping with a mild cleaner handles spills and tracked-in dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish. Your floor will maintain its shine and protection for years with just basic cleaning.
Preventing damage extends floor life. Use floor mats under workbenches to catch metal shavings and sharp objects. Lift rather than drag heavy items across the floor. Clean up chemical spills promptly even though epoxy resists most common garage chemicals. These simple precautions help your epoxy coating perform at its best for many years.
If damage does occur, repairs are possible. Small chips or scratches can be touched up to restore appearance. Larger areas might need spot repair or recoating. The concrete underneath stays protected even if the coating gets damaged, and professional repair can make fixes nearly invisible. With proper care and occasional maintenance, your epoxy garage floor will continue delivering beauty and performance well into the future.
