Garage Floors (Epoxy & Coatings)

Transform Your Garage Floor

Your garage floor takes serious abuse from vehicles, tools, chemicals, and daily use. Plain concrete absorbs oil and stains, dusts constantly, and looks industrial. A quality floor coating transforms your garage into a clean, attractive space while protecting the concrete and making maintenance easy.

We install epoxy garage floor coatings in Hemet for residential and commercial properties. Our coatings bond to concrete and create a durable, seamless surface that resists chemicals, abrasion, and stains. Whether you use your garage for parking, hobbies, or workspace, the right coating makes it more functional and dramatically improves appearance.

Benefits of Epoxy Floor Coatings

• •Easy Cleaning: Sealed surface wipes clean easily without absorbing spills or stains
• •Chemical Resistance: Withstands oil, gas, antifreeze, and common garage chemicals
• •Durability: Tough surface resists abrasion from tires, tools, and foot traffic
• •Brightness: Reflective finish improves lighting and makes the space feel cleaner
• •Appearance: Professional look adds value and pride in your property

Uncoated concrete remains porous and absorbs everything that spills on it. Oil stains are nearly impossible to remove from bare concrete. The surface dusts constantly, coating everything in your garage with fine concrete powder. Epoxy coatings solve all these problems while giving your garage a showroom appearance that makes you want to spend time there.

Coating Options and Finishes

We offer several coating systems designed for different needs and budgets. All provide protection and improved appearance, but they differ in durability, application process, and aesthetic options.

Epoxy Floor Coatings

True epoxy coatings create a chemical bond with properly prepared concrete. They are extremely durable and chemical-resistant. Epoxy comes in solid colors or with decorative color flakes broadcast into the wet coating for texture and visual interest. The flakes also hide minor floor imperfections and provide subtle slip resistance.

Multiple coats build thickness and durability. A clear topcoat seals everything and provides the glossy finish that makes epoxy floors so attractive. Properly installed epoxy floors last 10 to 20 years in residential garages with normal use. They handle hot tires without issues and resist most chemicals that might spill.

Polyaspartic Coatings

Polyaspartic coatings are newer technology that cures very quickly, often allowing same-day or next-day use. They offer excellent UV resistance, so they will not yellow over time. Polyaspartic coatings are tougher than standard epoxy and more flexible, which helps them resist cracking if the concrete moves slightly.

The fast cure time means less downtime for your garage. However, the quick set requires skilled application because there is little time to correct mistakes. These coatings cost more than standard epoxy but provide superior performance and faster turnaround.

Color and Design Choices

Garage floor coatings come in numerous solid colors from subtle grays to bold reds and blues. Decorative flakes are available in dozens of color blends to complement your home or personal style. Full broadcast flake floors hide the base color completely for a terrazzo-like appearance. Partial broadcasts let the base color show through. We help you select combinations that match your vision and coordinate with your home.

Installation Process

Proper surface preparation is absolutely critical for floor coatings. Shortcuts during prep lead to coating failure within months. We follow manufacturer specifications precisely to ensure your coating bonds correctly and lasts for years.

Surface Preparation

We start by thoroughly cleaning the floor and repairing any significant cracks or damage. Then we mechanically profile the concrete through grinding or acid etching. This opens the pores and removes contaminants so the coating can bond. The concrete must be completely clean and properly textured for adhesion.

We test for moisture issues that could cause coating failure. Excess moisture vapor coming through the slab will prevent proper bonding or cause bubbling later. If moisture is present, we address it before coating. This prep work takes time but determines whether your coating succeeds or fails.

Coating Application

After prep, we apply a primer coat that penetrates and seals the concrete. Once the primer cures, we apply the base color coat. For flake floors, we broadcast decorative chips while the base coat is still wet. After curing, we scrape off any loose flakes and apply clear topcoats for protection and gloss.

Multiple thin coats work better than single thick coats. We allow proper cure time between coats. Temperature and humidity affect curing, so we monitor conditions carefully. The entire process typically takes 2 to 3 days from start to finish, though you may need to keep vehicles off the floor for up to a week for full cure.

Curing and Use

Coatings need time to cure fully before handling vehicle traffic and heavy loads. Light foot traffic is usually fine after 24 hours. Vehicle traffic typically requires 3 to 7 days depending on the coating system. We provide specific guidelines for your floor. Rushing the cure process can damage the coating before it reaches full strength. Once fully cured, your garage floor is ready for years of hard use. We also install driveway coatings and patio surfaces.
