Garage Floor Epoxy Installation Process
Installing a garage epoxy floor is a multi-step process that requires a crew of experienced professionals to install it correctly. The process begins with cleaning and inspecting your concrete for damage, such as cracks or chipping. All damage discovered will be repaired before we move forward. Once repairs are finished, we’ll prep the surface using a floor grinder fitted with a diamond grinding wheel. This ensures proper adhesion between the epoxy and concrete while leveling your floor. Next, we’ll mix and apply the epoxy flooring in several layers to reach the desired thickness, accounting for the clear epoxy finish coat. Finally, your new garage epoxy floor will need 72 hours to fully cure before it can handle vehicle traffic.
The Types and Benefits of Garage Floor Epoxy

These various garage epoxy flooring systems all bring a plethora of benefits to your home. From superior durability to extended longevity to endless customization options, this flooring solution can do it all! Check out the types and benefits of garage floor epoxy below!
Standard Epoxy Flooring
Standard epoxy flooring is one of the most common epoxy flooring systems we install in garages. This concrete coating is available in many different colors, patterns, and textures to suit your own design and functional needs! Standard epoxy flooring can be installed as simple as a solid-color floor or as complex as a multi-colored, intricately-patterned floor. No matter how you plan to use your garage or how you want it to look, standard epoxy flooring has an option for you!
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Metallic epoxy flooring is one of the most unique flooring systems we offer! This one-of-a-kind epoxy flooring system is made when we mix metallic pigments into the epoxy resin during the application process. These metallic pigments give your garage floor a shimmering appearance that’s sure to impress! The metallic pigments can also be manipulated to create fantastic patterns, such as colorful, swirling patterns or designs that mimic scenes from nature like flaming lava, glistening water, or starlit nights! If you’re looking for that showroom shine for your garage, metallic epoxy flooring is for you!
Decorative Flake Epoxy Flooring
Decorative flake epoxy flooring is the ideal combination of beauty and function for your garage. These epoxy floors are made by layering acrylic chips over the epoxy base and coating it with a thin, clear epoxy topcoat. These chips give your garage additional texture to increase its slip-resistance and create beautiful patterns! The decorative flakes come in various colors, shapes, and sizes ranging from 1/16 to 1 inch and are broadcast as densely or sparsely as you like. If you want your garage to look good and be safer, decorative flake epoxy is for you!
Durability
Our garage floor epoxy systems are among the most durable flooring systems on the market. These floors are designed to handle high impacts, rough scrapes, and constant foot and vehicle traffic without sustaining significant damage. This durability helps homeowners save money, avoiding frequent repairs or premature replacements common with many other garage flooring materials. With a garage epoxy floor, you’ll never need to worry again about dropping a tool or knocking over a bike and damaging your floor!
Resistance
Garage floor epoxy is highly resistant to both chemicals and water! These floors are installed seamlessly, so liquids have nowhere to seep into the floor. Garage floor epoxy is also non-permeable, so it repels these substances to reduce water damage or chemical damage as well as reduces staining! Not only does garage floor epoxy resist common garage chemicals, such as gas and oil, but it also resists road salt from winter weather and tracked-snow or rain! This superior resistance allows homeowners to spend less time scrubbing out stains and spend less money replacing water-damaged flooring!
Longevity
Most conventional flooring systems are only designed to last between 10 and 15 years before they need serious repairs or full replacement. However, our garage floor epoxy systems are designed to last twice as long! With proper maintenance and care, your garage epoxy floor can last for 25 years or more before needing repairs or replacement! If you’re looking for a flooring solution that’s built to last, look no further than our garage floor epoxy!
Customization
The opportunity to customize parts of the home is a major advantage for any homeowner! Our garage epoxy flooring systems afford homeowners some of the most customizable options of virtually any flooring material! With endless choices in color, pattern, and texture, you can design the perfect floor for your garage. Whether you’re looking to turn your garage into a showroom for your favorite vehicle, a personal workshop, or just a place to park, there’s no limit to the possibilities with garage floor epoxy!
Ease of Maintenance
With garage floor epoxy, maintaining your garage has never been easier! These floors save more time, money, and effort on maintenance than most other traditional flooring materials. Thanks to epoxy flooring’s seamless installation, there are no seams or cracks for dirt and grit to hide. All these floors need to be maintained is daily sweeping or dust mopping, weekly wet mopping with a pH-neutral floor cleaner, and spot mopping as needed. With this simple maintenance routine, your garage floor epoxy will last for years to come and keep its beautiful appearance!
