Epoxy floor coatings
Epoxy is a two-part resin that bonds to prepared concrete and builds a hard, seamless, glossy surface. It is the classic garage floor, available in solid colors and every decorative blend.
Good to know
- Seamless, easy to clean
- Solid, flake, quartz and metallic looks
- Strong bond when the slab is prepped properly
- Great value for the look
Keep in mind
- Can amber in strong sunlight without a UV-stable top coat
- Preparation decides how long it lasts
Bottom line: The classic, versatile choice for most garages. See the service
Polyaspartic coatings
Polyaspartic is a fast-curing, UV-stable coating known for its clarity and toughness. It is commonly used as the top coat over epoxy and flake, or as a complete system.
Good to know
- UV-stable and glossy
- Typically cures faster than epoxy
- Excellent abrasion and chemical resistance
- Great over flake and metallic
Keep in mind
- Fast curing means experienced installers matter
- Often a premium option
Bottom line: Best for sunny, busy garages and a quick return to service. See the service
Decorative flake floors
Colored vinyl flakes broadcast into the coating add color, depth and texture. The busy pattern hides dust and small marks, so the floor looks clean longer.
Good to know
- Hides dust, dirt and marks
- Adds texture and grip
- Dozens of blends
- Protective clear top coat
Keep in mind
- Texture takes slightly more effort to mop
- Full broadcast hides the base color
Bottom line: Best for busy family garages and workshops. See the service
Metallic and custom floors
Pearlescent pigments swirl through the epoxy to create deep, marbled, one-of-a-kind patterns. Add stripes, checkers or logos for a show-garage statement.
Good to know
- One-of-a-kind patterns
- Deep gloss with LED lighting
- Custom stripes and logos
- Sealed, durable top coat
Keep in mind
- Highly custom, so samples and planning matter
- Looks best with great lighting
Bottom line: Best for show garages, man caves and wow factor. See the service
Quartz blend floors
Colored quartz granules create a tough, natural-stone look with excellent traction. It is a favorite for workshops and hard-working garages.
Good to know
- Natural-stone character
- Great traction
- Tough and hides wear
- Earth tones and grays
Keep in mind
- More textured than smooth floors
- Fewer glossy show-floor looks
Bottom line: Best for workshops, shops and heavy use. See the service

Why Preparation Beats Everything
Whatever coating you choose, the floor is only as good as the prep. We grind or profile the concrete, clean it, repair cracks and chips and make sure the slab is ready, because a coating can only bond as well as the surface beneath it.
That is why we spend our time on the parts you will never see. A properly prepared floor is built to stay bonded, stay glossy and stay easy to clean for years.
How do you prepare the concrete?
Preparation is the most important part of a lasting floor. We grind or otherwise profile the surface, clean it, repair cracks and chips and make sure it is ready for the coating.
Epoxy or polyaspartic: which should I choose?
Many garages use both: epoxy for the strong base and polyaspartic for a UV-stable, glossy top coat. Polyaspartic typically cures faster. We help you choose the right system for your garage and your light.
How do I keep my floor looking new?
Sweep and damp-mop regularly, wipe up spills and use a soft pad under heavy tools. We give you simple care steps at the final walkthrough.
Can you work around my cars and belongings?
We plan the work so your vehicles and belongings are moved as needed, and we keep you informed about timing and when you can park again.
