Garage Floors (Epoxy & Coatings)
Transform your garage with professional epoxy coatings and durable floor finishes.
Why Coat Your Garage Floor
Your garage floor takes constant punishment. Oil drips, tire marks, road salt, and heavy equipment all leave their mark on bare concrete. Over time, unprotected concrete becomes stained, pitted, and dusty. A quality coating system protects your floor while making your garage look like a showroom.
Epoxy coatings create a barrier that prevents chemicals from soaking into the concrete. Spills wipe up easily instead of leaving permanent stains. Your floor stays cleaner with much less effort. This matters whether you use your Apex, NC garage for parking, as a workshop, or for extra storage space.
Bare concrete constantly sheds dust and grit. You track it into your house, and it settles on everything in the garage. A proper coating seals the surface and eliminates this problem completely. Your garage stays cleaner, and you spend less time sweeping and cleaning.
The visual transformation is dramatic. A dull, stained concrete slab becomes a bright, attractive floor that reflects light and makes your garage feel bigger. If you take pride in your vehicles or use your garage as a workspace, the improved appearance makes a real difference.
Coating Systems We Install
Not all garage floor coatings are created equal. The thin epoxy kits you find at home improvement stores often fail within a year or two. Professional systems use thicker coatings with proper surface preparation and multiple layers that last for decades.
Professional Coating Options
- •100% solid epoxy systems for maximum durability and chemical resistance
- •Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings that cure faster and handle temperature extremes
- •Decorative flake systems with color chips for attractive, slip-resistant surfaces
- •Metallic epoxy for a unique, high-end appearance
- •Clear sealers that protect while maintaining the natural concrete look
Color options are nearly unlimited. Choose from solid colors, multiple color combinations with decorative chips, or metallic finishes that create depth and visual interest. We can match your preferences and show you samples of different systems so you know exactly what to expect.
Texture matters too. We can create a smooth, glossy finish or add grit for better traction when the floor is wet. If you work with heavy equipment or need a non-slip surface, we adjust the coating accordingly.
How We Prepare and Install Your Floor
Surface preparation is the most critical part of any coating job. Skipping steps or rushing this phase leads to coating failure. We take the time to do it right because we want your floor to last for many years.
Our Installation Process
- 1.We thoroughly clean the floor and repair any cracks or damage
- 2.Diamond grinding or acid etching opens the pores of the concrete for better adhesion
- 3.A primer coat is applied to ensure the coating system bonds properly
- 4.The main coating layer goes down with your chosen color and decorative elements
- 5.A clear topcoat seals everything and provides UV protection and extra durability
Most garage floor coating jobs take 2 to 3 days from start to finish. This includes proper curing time between coats. You can typically walk on the floor after 24 hours and drive on it after 72 hours. Full hardness develops over about a week.
We work in all weather conditions since garage floors are protected from rain and extreme temperatures. However, the concrete must be dry and within the proper temperature range for the coating to cure correctly. We test the moisture level and temperature before starting to ensure optimal results.
If your garage floor has existing coatings or sealers, we need to remove them first. Trying to coat over old materials usually leads to failure. We assess your current floor condition during the estimate and explain exactly what preparation your specific floor requires.
