If your garage is doing double duty as a workshop, gym, storage, or showcase for the daily driver, epoxy is the upgrade that ties it all together. It’s seamless, chemical-resistant, easy to clean, and it turns bare concrete into a durable, designer surface.
Why Homeowners Love Epoxy (Real-World Benefits)
Built to take a beating: Epoxy stands up to hot tires, dropped tools, rolling jacks, and heavy storage racks.
Resists stains & chemicals: Oil, brake fluid, road salt, and household cleaners wipe up instead of soaking in.
Dust-free & easy to clean: Epoxy locks down concrete dust. Brooms, shop-vacs, and a quick mop keep it looking sharp.
Safer underfoot: Optional anti-slip media improves traction without turning it into sandpaper.
Brightens the room: Light-reflective finishes make garages feel bigger and better lit.
Custom style: Solids, metallics, color flakes, quartz blends — match your home, team colors, or that car in the bay.
Epoxy vs. Paint vs. Tiles vs. Bare Concrete
Standard paint: Low cost, but peels under hot tires and stains quickly.
Interlocking tiles: Fast facelift, but debris can get in seams; not ideal for rolling tool chests.
Bare concrete: Dusty, porous, stains easily, and wicks moisture.
Professional epoxy system: Seamless, strong, sealed against liquids, and designed for hot-tire resistance.
Our Pro Installation Process (What Sets It Apart)
Moisture & slab check – Test for vapor issues and note cracks/control joints.
Mechanical prep – Diamond-grind the surface to open pores and remove laitance/contaminants (the #1 key to adhesion).
Repairs & patching – Fill cracks, pits, and spalls with structural repair mortar.
Primer – Penetrating epoxy primer bonds the system to the slab.
Build coat – High-solids epoxy or polyaspartic base for thickness and durability.
Broadcast – Color flakes or quartz (light, medium, or full) for style and traction.
Topcoat – UV-stable, chemical-resistant urethane or polyaspartic for gloss/satin and easy cleaning.
Pro tip: Prep > product. The best coating fails without proper grinding and moisture testing.
Design Options That Work
Solid color: Clean, minimal, modern (great with satin topcoat).
Full-flake “chip” system: Hides dirt and tire marks; tons of color blends.
Quartz broadcast: Ultra-tough, slightly textured, commercial-grade.
Metallic epoxy: Boutique showroom vibe with marbled depth (best for low-UV areas).
Care & Maintenance (Super Simple)
Sweep or shop-vac weekly; mop with a neutral cleaner as needed.
Put felt/furniture pads under stands and benches.
Wipe up chemicals; avoid dragging metal feet across the floor.
If you ever gouge it, we can spot-repair and re-topcoat to refresh the gloss.
Common Myths, Busted
“Epoxy turns yellow.” Quality systems use UV-stable topcoats to protect color.
“It’s slippery.” Add fine traction media for grip; still easy to mop.
“It’ll peel under hot tires.” Peeling is almost always poor prep; proper grinding + primer solves it.
“Garage floors can’t look premium.” Epoxy is literally what showrooms use.
Ideal Add-Ons
Stem-wall and stair coatings to match the floor
Cove base for a seamless wall-to-floor transition
Line striping/zonings for gym bays, storage, or work zones
Silica-fortified anti-slip topcoat for high-traffic areas
Timeline & What Affects Price
Typical install: 1–2 days for grinding, repair, and coating; light foot traffic after cure, vehicles after the specified window (depends on system).
Variables: Slab condition, moisture mitigation, flake/quartz coverage, number of coats, and chosen topcoat (urethane vs. polyaspartic).

Add-On FAQ (great for SEO)
How long before I can park on it?
Most systems allow light foot traffic within hours and vehicle traffic within 24–72 hours, depending on the topcoat.
Will epoxy hide cracks?
We repair cracks and spalls first; hairlines disappear, and larger areas are blended smoothly before coating.
What finish should I pick?
Gloss is showroom-bright; satin diffuses reflections and hides dust. Both clean easily.
Can epoxy go over existing paint or sealer?
Not without grinding. We mechanically prep the bare concrete for a lasting bond.
Doesthe sun hit your garage?
If yes, ask for a UV-stable topcoat to protect color and gloss near the door.
