How to Choose the Right Floor Coating
There is no single best coating for every project. The right system depends on traffic, exposure, surface condition, appearance, budget, and scheduling. We review these details during your free estimate.
Consider Traffic & Use
Our garage floor systems are designed for residential vehicle and foot traffic. Commercial systems offer options for heavier traffic, equipment, and chemical exposure in warehouses, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and retail spaces. Tell us how your space operates so we can discuss the appropriate system.
Assess the Existing Surface
Cracks, previous coatings, contamination, and moisture affect preparation and coating selection. For basements and surfaces with a history of dampness, we test concrete moisture and discuss whether a moisture-mitigating primer is needed before installation.
Choose Your Preferred Finish
Explore solid colors, decorative flake blends, and metallic effects. Metallic epoxy creates distinctive marbled or flowing patterns, while our residential options include low-odor systems in a range of colors. For countertops, we offer custom finishes inspired by marble, granite, and solid stone.
Discuss Budget & Scheduling
Pricing depends on surface size, condition, preparation, and design complexity. Installation and curing requirements also vary by system. Share your budget, preferred finish, and availability so we can prepare a project-specific estimate and schedule.

Our Epoxy Flooring Installation Process
Our installation process combines concrete preparation, repairs, coating application, and a protective finish.
The specified materials and steps depend on the surface and the selected system.
Surface Preparation
We grind and profile the concrete, removing existing coatings and addressing oil stains and other contaminants. This prepares the surface for the specified coating system.
Crack & Joint Repair
We assess cracks, spalls, and joints and complete the repairs required by the project. Joint treatment is selected according to slab movement and coating requirements.
Primer & Base Coat
For epoxy systems, we apply the specified primer and base coat, incorporating your selected color, flake blend, or metallic design. Moisture-mitigating preparation is included when required.
Top Coat & Sealer
We apply the specified polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat to provide the protective finish. We then explain curing times, cleaning, and when the surface can return to foot or vehicle traffic.
Choosing the Right Epoxy Service: Common Questions
Find answers about coating selection, decorative finishes, basement moisture, and combining flooring with countertop work.
How do I decide between garage floor epoxy and commercial epoxy for a home shop or small business?
The right system depends on traffic, equipment, chemical exposure, and cleaning requirements. Our garage systems suit everyday residential vehicle use. For workshops handling heavier equipment or more demanding conditions, we offer commercial systems with additional thickness and chemical-resistance options.
Is metallic epoxy a good choice for a garage, or is it really just for showrooms?
Yes. We install metallic epoxy in garages for homeowners who want a distinctive, showroom-style finish. Metallic designs involve additional application work, while solid-color and decorative flake options provide alternative looks at different price points. We’ll help you compare systems for your garage.
My basement gets damp sometimes, can any of these services handle moisture?
We test concrete moisture before recommending a basement coating system. Where appropriate, a moisture-mitigating primer can be incorporated into the installation. Tell us about dampness, leaks, or previous coating failures so we can assess the cause and preparation requirements. Active leaks need to be addressed before coating.
What if I only want to upgrade my kitchen - countertops, floor, or both?
We offer both flooring and countertop coatings, with separate formulations and preparation requirements for each surface. We can quote and coordinate both projects. If you prefer to complete one first, we’ll help you prioritize based on surface condition, design goals, and budget.
