One system, built in four layers, adapted to what the floor has to survive. We grind the concrete down to clean, open pores and repair what’s cracked or pitted. We broadcast flake across the surface for the finish and the texture. We lay epoxy to waterproof the slab and lock everything down. We topcoat with polyaspartic for UV resistance and the durability that keeps the floor from yellowing, chipping, or wearing through. A garage, a restaurant kitchen, and a milking parlor get different flake, different texture, and different chemistry on top. The order never changes.
Most residential floors are a 1-2-day job. You can walk on it after about 6-8 hours and park on it after 48 hours. Polyaspartic cures fast, which is a large part of why we use it. Commercial and industrial jobs depend on square footage and how much repair the slab needs, and we’ll give you the real timeline at the estimate rather than after we start.
Preparation, mostly. A kit tells you to etch the concrete with acid and roll the coating on. Etching doesn’t open the pores the way grinding does, so the coating sits on the surface instead of bonding into it. Add a hot tire or a winter of salt and it lifts. We diamond-grind every slab, repair the cracks and pits, then build four layers: flake, epoxy, and a polyaspartic topcoat.
They do different jobs. Epoxy waterproofs the slab and gives you a hard, protective base that locks the flake down. Polyaspartic goes on top for UV resistance and abrasion resistance, so the floor keeps its color and its finish under sunlight and traffic. Epoxy alone yellows in the sun. Polyaspartic alone gives up the waterproofing. Together you get both.
Not if it’s prepped correctly. Peeling is a bonding failure and bonding failures start with bad prep, which is exactly why we grind. Yellowing is UV damage, and the polyaspartic topcoat is what prevents it. We back our floors with a lifetime warranty. Every installation includes rigorous quality controls and comprehensive warranty protection. We maintain direct responsibility for project outcomes with dedicated support teams ready to address concerns across our service regions.
Usually, yes. Cracks, pits, spalling, and old oil stains are normal, and repairing them is part of the job rather than an extra we spring on you later. What we’ll check for is moisture coming up through the slab, because that’s the one condition that has to be addressed before any coating goes down. If your floor isn’t a candidate, we’ll tell you at the estimate.
Pricing depends on square footage, the condition of the slab, and the finish you pick. Every estimate is free and done in person, because square footage over the phone is a guess and guesses become change orders. We have options for epoxy chip and flake for garages and basements, polyaspartic coating for porches, non-slip finishes for industrial and restaurant applications, and metallic epoxy flooring — particularly used as a low-maintenance basement floor.
Yes. We coat year-round in heated and unheated spaces. Ohio winters are part of the reason these floors are worth having.
Every estimate is free and done in person. We’ll measure the space, check the conditions, and give you a real number.
