Garage Floors (Epoxy & Coatings)
Turn your garage floor into a showroom-quality surface that resists oil, chemicals, and daily wear.
Why Your Garage Floor Needs Protection
Most garage floors are bare concrete. That works fine for parking cars, but bare concrete is porous and stains easily. Oil drips soak in and leave dark marks that never come out. Antifreeze, battery acid, and other automotive fluids can actually damage the concrete over time.
Bare concrete also creates dust. Every time you drive in or walk across it, tiny particles wear off the surface. That dust settles on your cars, tools, and storage items. It tracks into your house on shoes. A proper floor coating seals the concrete and eliminates this constant mess.
Epoxy and polyurethane coatings create a tough, non-porous barrier over your concrete. Spills sit on top where you can wipe them up easily. The floor becomes much easier to clean. A quick sweep and occasional mopping keeps it looking like new. No more stains, no more dust, no more dingy gray concrete.
A coated garage floor also improves lighting. The glossy finish reflects light from your garage fixtures, making the whole space brighter. This makes working on projects or finding things in storage easier. We help Buckeye homeowners transform their garages from dull utility spaces into clean, attractive areas they actually enjoy using.
Choosing the Right Garage Floor Coating
Not all garage floor coatings are created equal. The cheap kits you see at home improvement stores fail quickly because they do not bond properly or hold up to real use. Professional-grade coatings last for years when applied correctly over properly prepared concrete.
What sets professional coatings apart:
- •100 percent solids epoxy that bonds permanently to concrete
- •Chemical resistance to gasoline, oil, antifreeze, and cleaners
- •High-build thickness that fills small imperfections in the concrete
- •UV-stable topcoats that will not yellow or fade in sunlight
- •Decorative color flakes for a custom look and added texture
- •Optional slip-resistant additives for wet weather safety
We use a two-part epoxy system as the base coat. This forms an incredibly strong bond with the concrete. Over that, we apply a clear polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoat. The topcoat adds gloss, UV protection, and extra chemical resistance. Together, these layers create a floor that can handle hot tires, dropped tools, and years of vehicle traffic.
Color options range from solid gray or tan to multi-colored flake systems that hide dirt and add visual interest. Metallic finishes create a high-end look similar to polished concrete but with better durability. We show you samples and help you pick a style that fits your garage and budget. If you are also upgrading other concrete surfaces like your driveway, we can coordinate finishes so everything complements each other.
How We Apply Professional Floor Coatings
Surface preparation determines how well the coating bonds and how long it lasts. We do not just slap epoxy over dirty concrete. Proper prep takes time but makes all the difference between a coating that lasts a few years and one that lasts decades.
Our professional installation process:
We start by cleaning the floor thoroughly and removing any existing sealers, paint, or coatings. Then we use diamond grinding equipment to open the pores of the concrete. This creates a rough profile that allows the epoxy to grip. Grinding also levels minor imperfections and removes surface damage.
Any cracks or damaged areas get repaired before coating. We fill cracks with flexible filler that moves with the concrete and prevents them from telegraphing through the coating. Control joints are left open or filled depending on your preference and the condition of your floor.
Once the floor is prepped, we apply the epoxy base coat while the concrete is still slightly porous. The epoxy soaks into the surface and creates a mechanical and chemical bond. We broadcast decorative flakes into the wet epoxy if you have chosen that option. After the epoxy cures, we apply the clear topcoat for added durability and gloss.
The entire process takes two to three days depending on the size of your garage and the coating system you choose. You need to keep vehicles out during installation and curing. After about 24 hours, you can walk on the floor. Full cure for vehicle traffic takes three to five days. The wait is worth it for a floor that will look great and perform flawlessly for years.
We also offer coatings for other concrete areas like workshops, patios, and commercial concrete floors. The same durable materials work anywhere you need a tough, attractive concrete surface.
