Here's how we do things

Our Process

Concrete Prep and Damage Repair

The most important part of the process is the prep. We start by diamond grinding the concrete to a CSP 2 finish to ensure the basecoat can form a strong mechanical bond to the concrete. Next we take care of any damage to the surface, filling in cracks and spalling. Once damage is filled it is ground smooth.

Basecoat and Flake

We apply a polyaspartic basecoat with a color matched to the customers flake choice. Once the basecoat is down we broadcast the flake to rejection.

Top Coat

Lastly once the basecoat has hardened, we remove all the excess flake and apply the polyaspartic topcoat. This ensures a durable and long lasting finish you can enjoy for years to come!

All of our Garage Floors come with a 15 Year Warranty!

Why should you hire a professional when a DIY kit from the hardware store is only a few hundred dollars?

Well there are many reasons, and if you have ever seen a professional grade floor and a DIY kit floor then the difference is obvious.

1. Prep. A DIY kit contains an acid etch compound. Acid etching is by far an unqualified method of concrete prep, it doesnt matter how accurately the instructions are followed the end result is unprepared concrete. We prep all our floors with a diamond grinder, meaning we remove the top layer to expose the porous concrete beneath. This rough and porous surface allows the epoxy to seep in and grab a hold of the concrete for an almost unbreakable bond.

2. Materials. With a DIY kit you are starting out with a lower grade epoxy which is more prone to chemical and abrasion damage. This epoxy is also “low solids” which essentialy means its cut with water or solvent to get more square foot coverage but with a much thinner coat once it cures. We only use high quality 100% solids epoxy from Sherwin-Williams which means our epoxy is not cut at all and cures at the exact thickness we apply it.

3. Topcoat. DIY kits don’t contain a clear coat and the one you can purchase is often a 1 part clear. Just the same as the base coat this lacks the chemical, abrasion, and UV resistance (give it time and it will yellow) of the top coat we use. We use a polyaspartic topcoat on all of our floors. Poly is what's used in places like auto shops and high traffic walkways where the floor sees all sorts of abuse.

4. Product knowledge and support. The world of epoxy is confusing and breaking out the google-fu can further muddy already unclear waters. When you go DIY finding the answers to any questions you have is also DIY. When you get a professionally installed floor from us we are able to take all your questions so you understand exactly what is being installed in your home and how to care for it.

5. Lastly, if you care enough to go through the hassle of doing the floor yourself, in several months/years when the floor is discolored, worn and chipping away you’ll probably be calling a professional like us to remove the DIY epoxy and do a professional install.

General Info/ FAQS

What is "Broadcast"? Broadcasting means putting the flakes onto the basecoat. A full broadcast is when the floor is completely covered in flake, this is what we always recommend to customers.
Why do you recommend a full broadcast? We (and almost every other epoxy flooring company) recommend full broadcast for several reasons. First off, a full broadcast floor provides an amazing finished appearance. Once the top coat is applied there is a beautiful depth to the floor. Second, the full broadcast provides a slightly bumpy finish which helps add a little bit of traction. Lastly, the full broadcast will cover any imperfections in the floor/basecoat. Since no floor is going to be as perfectly smooth as a machined surface the full broadcast will cover everything and look absolutely stunning.
Do you fill expansion joint or do a "seamless" floor? No. We do not fill expansion joints. Why? The expansion joint exists to allow the concrete to settle over time while minimizing the risk of cracking the slabs, the concrete will ALWAYS be moving little bits as time goes on and filled joints are GUARANTEED to crack eventually. A seamless floor looks great until it doesn't.
My floor has cracks in it, can I still get epoxy flooring? YES! Unless the damage is extreme we can repair and coat the floor. The only thing to note is that the floor crack because the slab is moving which means it may crack again. This isn't very likely and even if it does the epoxy coating is likely to hide the crack as the epoxy is flexible.
I used a DIY kit or had "a guy that can do it cheaper" do my garage, can I still get an epoxy/polyaspartic floor? Absolutely! Our grinders eat those other guys floor coatings for breakfast.
