Most residential garage floors fall between roughly $2,000 and $4,000 depending on size and concrete condition. As a rough guide, a typical 2-car garage runs around $2,200–$3,000, and a 3-car garage runs around $3,500–$4,500. Heavy repair work, premium flake blends, or larger spaces can shift those numbers. We don't price by phone — every quote is itemized on site after we've seen the floor. See our cost breakdown for what affects price.

One day for almost every residential garage. We typically wrap a standard 2- or 3-car garage in 4–8 hours: diamond grind, basecoat, flake, topcoat, done. Larger commercial floors and unusual layouts may run longer, but you'll never have us coming back for a second day on a normal garage.

Light foot traffic in 4–6 hours. Vehicle traffic in 48–72 hours. We give you a specific timeline at the end of the install based on the system you chose and the conditions on the day.

The polyurea basecoat is roughly 5× the tensile strength of standard epoxy and stays flexible — meaning it absorbs impact and movement instead of cracking. The polyaspartic topcoat is non-porous and chemical-resistant, so oil, brake fluid, gasoline, salt, and most cleaners wipe right off. We back the system with a written lifetime guarantee.

Epoxy is a coating with relatively low strength and poor UV stability. Hot tires can pull it off the floor, and sunlight makes it yellow over time. Polyurea is a 100% solid resin — about 5× stronger, UV-stable, faster curing, and flexible. For a Minnesota garage that deals with road salt, hot tires, and seasonal temperature swings, polyurea is fundamentally a better product. Read more on our garage page.

Yes. The system handles passenger vehicles, trucks, SUVs, and heavy shop equipment without issue. We recommend protecting the floor when running point loads — a piece of plywood or a jack pad under a hydraulic jack — the same as you'd do on any finished surface. For commercial environments with forklifts or constant skid traffic, ask about our heavier-duty system.

No. The polyaspartic topcoat is engineered to be UV-stable. Even on garage floors that get direct sun through the door for hours every afternoon, the color stays true for years. That's the single biggest cosmetic difference between our system and standard epoxy.

The decorative flake we broadcast into the basecoat creates a textured profile that's significantly more slip-resistant than smooth sealed concrete. For projects where slip resistance matters more — pool decks, patios, ramps — we can broadcast a finer non-slip aggregate into the topcoat. Just ask during your estimate.

Diamond grinding, every time. We grind the concrete with industrial diamond tooling to open the pores, remove any existing sealer or coating, and create the mechanical profile the polyurea needs to bond permanently. We also fill hairline cracks during prep. This is the step most "shake-and-roll" installers skip — it's also the step that determines whether your floor lasts 2 years or 20.

Yes — in most cases. We grind the existing coating off as part of prep. If the previous coating is failing badly or the underlying concrete has serious issues, we'll point that out at the estimate and quote any extra prep up front before you commit.

We stand behind our work with three guarantees: a Best Price Guarantee (find a comparable coating for less and we'll beat it — and our prices never drop later, so you get our best price the first time), a written Lifetime Guarantee on coatings installed by our crew on properly prepared concrete, and a 100% Resin Guarantee. Full terms — what's covered, what's excluded, how to file a claim — are on our Warranty & Guarantees page and in your signed service agreement.

Free estimates are usually available within a week. Installation lead time depends on the season — typically 1 to 4 weeks out from the day you sign the proposal. Spring and early summer book up faster than the rest of the year, so reach out early if you have a target date.

No. We bring physical color samples to the estimate so you can see them in your space. If you want to preview ahead of time, the full library is on our Colors page. You don't lock in the color until we order materials.

Yes — same materials, slip-resistant top profile, and UV-stable color. See our Patio & Pool Deck page for details.

We're a full-service concrete contractor, not just a coatings company. We pour new driveways, garage and shed slabs, sidewalks, patios, and footings, and we handle tear-out and replacement of old, cracked concrete. See our Poured Concrete page for the full scope.

Stamped concrete is poured and then textured and colored while it's still wet so it looks like brick, stone, slate, or wood — it's a decorative finish built into the slab itself. A coating goes on top of existing concrete. Stamped work is great for patios, walkways, and entryways where you want a high-end decorative look. We also do overlays to resurface existing concrete with a stamped pattern. See our Stamped Concrete page.

Pricing depends on square footage, thickness, site access, prep and excavation, and the finish you choose — plain broom-finish concrete costs less than decorative stamped concrete. Because every job site is different, we don't quote concrete by phone. We come out, look at the space, and give you an itemized estimate in writing for free. We also offer a Best Price Guarantee: find a comparable bid for less and we'll beat it.

Sweep and mop. That's it. The non-porous topcoat means oil and chemicals sit on the surface and wipe clean. No waxing, no sealing, no annual treatments. For deeper cleans, a mild pH-neutral cleaner with a soft mop is plenty.

Surprisingly little of either. Our resins are zero- or low-VOC and don't have the strong solvent smell of older epoxy systems. The diamond grinding creates dust, which we vacuum at the source as we go — most homeowners don't see meaningful dust by the time we're done.
