Garage Floors & Epoxy Coatings

Why Upgrade Your Garage Floor

Most garage floors are plain concrete that gets dirty, stained, and worn over time. Oil drips, tire marks, and spills leave permanent marks on bare concrete. The surface can also become dusty and develop cracks. An epoxy coating transforms your garage floor from a dingy workspace into a clean, attractive area that is easy to maintain and looks professional.

Epoxy coatings create a tough, sealed surface that resists stains, moisture, and chemicals. Spills wipe up easily instead of soaking into the concrete. The coating also strengthens the concrete and helps prevent cracking and deterioration. If you use your garage as a workshop, home gym, or living space, a coated floor makes the area more functional and comfortable.

For Duncanville homeowners, a garage floor coating is an affordable upgrade that adds value and improves daily life. You will enjoy a cleaner garage that looks great and requires less effort to maintain. Whether you want a simple solid color or a decorative flake finish, we can create a floor that fits your style and budget.

Types of Garage Floor Coatings

There are several types of coatings available for garage floors, each with different properties and benefits. We work with the best products and can recommend the right system for your needs. Here are the most popular options:

Coating Options

• •Epoxy coatings: Two-part systems that create a hard, durable surface. Epoxy is resistant to chemicals, stains, and abrasion. It comes in solid colors or with decorative flakes. This is the most popular choice for residential garages.
• •Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings: Advanced coatings that cure quickly and offer excellent durability. These systems can be installed in one day and are more UV-resistant than epoxy. They work well for garages that get direct sunlight.
• •Flake systems: Decorative chips broadcast into the coating create a textured, multi-colored finish. Flakes hide imperfections, provide slip resistance, and give a professional look. You can choose from many color combinations.
• •Metallic epoxy: A high-end finish with swirling metallic effects. This option creates a unique, eye-catching floor that looks like polished stone or marble. It is more expensive but delivers a truly custom appearance.
• •Clear sealers: A basic coating that seals and protects concrete without changing its appearance. Sealers are more affordable than epoxy and work well if you want protection without a decorative finish.

We help you choose the right coating based on how you use your garage, your budget, and the condition of your existing floor. If your concrete has cracks or damage, we repair it before applying the coating. Proper surface preparation is critical for a coating that lasts and performs well.

Our Garage Floor Installation Process

Installing a garage floor coating is more than just rolling on paint. The surface must be properly prepared or the coating will fail. We start by thoroughly cleaning the floor and removing any oil, grease, or contaminants. We then grind or etch the concrete to open the pores and create a profile that helps the coating bond.

If there are cracks or damage, we repair them before coating. Small cracks can be filled, while larger damage may require patching or leveling. We also check for moisture issues that could affect the coating. Once the floor is prepped, we apply a primer to ensure proper adhesion. This step is often skipped by inexperienced installers, but it makes a big difference in long-term performance.

Next, we apply the base coat of epoxy or polyurea. If you chose a flake system, we broadcast the decorative chips while the base coat is wet. After the coating cures, we apply a clear topcoat that seals everything and adds extra protection and shine. The topcoat also provides chemical resistance and makes the floor easier to clean.

Most garage floor coatings cure within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the product and temperature. You can walk on the floor after about 24 hours and drive on it after 48 to 72 hours. We provide clear instructions on curing times and care. Once cured, your new floor is ready for years of use with minimal maintenance.
