A clear, durable floor coating created by mixing epoxy resin with a hardener to form a seamless, protective surface over concrete.

Epoxy floors are highly durable, stain- and chemical-resistant, easy to clean, customizable in color/design, and suitable for high-traffic areas.

Epoxy can be used in garages, basements, warehouses, commercial spaces, showrooms, hospitals, restaurants, and more on concrete substrates.

Contact us to discuss your project & help picking a color or blend. For a preview of our most popular options for Epoxy Flake Blends & Solid Concrete Coatings, please see our Color Chart.

We appreciate an open driveway for easy access with our equipment. Please remove all of your items & valuables that may be on or around the application area. Our team will work fastest in a clutter free space.

For most project sizes less than approx 1000sq ft, our deluxe epoxy system requires 2-days for proper preparation & application. We also offer a 1-day epoxy floor application for certain situations.

First day

Our team will arrive to the job site and begin preparing the work area, covering your surrounding floors with protective barriers and masking tape.

After unloading the truck, we will begin preparing your concrete for epoxy. Our professional prepration process involves using a special grinder, removing the top layer of the substrate to ensure a proper bond with the epoxy.

During the concrete grinding process, dust is normal. Our team uses a dual HEPA filter vacuum to reduce the dust particles.

Once the floor is clean of debris & contaminants, we begin applying the epoxy material in your selected color, along with any variation of flake chips that you have chosen beforehand.

Second day

On day two of your epoxy floor application, we will arrive back to the job site to inspect the cured work, checking the application of the epoxy for any potential quality defects or missed areas.

Once our team approves of the fresh epoxy application, we begin cleaning any loose material still remaining on the floor, making sure to vacuum all of loose flakes, dust & possible contaminants prior to applying a polyaspartic sealer coat.

We make it a priority to keep a clean work area during every stage of the epoxy application process, and we will treat your property with respect.

After installing an epoxy floor, we typically recommend to wait:

24 hours before light foot traffic

72 hours (3 days) before moving light objects or light use

5 to 7 days before driving or heavy use

We believe that Epoxy floors are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making epoxy an ideal choice for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces in comparison to most options in the same price range.

While a properly sealed Epoxy floor is highly resistance to chemicals, concrete & tile are not very chemical or stain resistant, & can crack or chip easily in an industrial setting.

Compared to other similar options for your concrete substrate, we believe that epoxy and polyaspartic systems are a relatively cost-effective option per square foot.

With a professionally prepared and applied epoxy floor, you can expect to enjoy a durable and aesthetically pleasing floor for a long time.

We generally recommend to work on the floors first. Once your concrete or epoxy flooring is ready, then you can begin painting walls, installing cabinets and performing other renovation tasks. Having a clear floor space makes epoxy work much easier.

If you have existing cabinets, we can provide our best suggestion on epoxy floor applications depending on the depth, height and design of your existing cabinets. Some cabinets are wall-hung and do not affect the epoxy flooring process, while some cabinets make the epoxy application process labor intensive.

Even a new home with a new garage floor will require professional preparation prior to application. The final result will transform the space with a unique look.

If your existing concrete floor is over 30 years old, but still intact and relatively in decent shape, then epoxy coatings or a grind and seal can bring your concrete back to life.

Properly installed and maintained epoxy floors can last 10–20 years or more, depending on traffic and usage.

To get started, we’ll schedule a phone call, we may exchange a few texts, and then an in-person visit to see your current floor. See our Contact Request Form
