Your garage floor takes a beating from Connecticut’s harsh winters, road salt, and daily use. A professional garage floor coating changes everything.
No more worrying about oil stains that won’t come out. No more concrete dust coating your tools and car. No more slippery spots when snow melts off your vehicle.
With the right coating, spills wipe up in seconds. Your floor stays looking new for decades. And you finally have a garage that feels like an extension of your home instead of a concrete cave.
We’ve been transforming South Windham garages with professional-grade coatings that actually last. We’re not the guys selling you a weekend DIY project that peels off next winter.
Our team holds certifications in Polyurea and Polyaspartic coatings – the materials that outperform basic epoxy in every way. We understand Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles and how road salt attacks unprotected concrete.
Every installation comes with a manufacturer’s warranty because we use commercial-grade materials, not the water-based products you find at big box stores. South Windham homeowners choose us because we deliver results that stand up to real-world use.
We start by diamond grinding your concrete floor to create the proper profile for maximum adhesion. This isn’t the same as an acid etch – we’re creating a surface that coatings can actually grip.
Next, we fill any cracks and repair problem areas using professional-grade materials. Your floor gets thoroughly cleaned to remove all dust, debris, and contaminants.
Then we apply our coating system. Unlike DIY kits that are 50% water, our coatings are 100% solids for maximum thickness and durability. Most installations are complete in one day, and you can walk on your new floor within 24 hours. Your car can be back in the garage within 72 hours.

Connecticut winters are brutal on concrete. Road salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture all work together to break down unprotected floors. Our coatings create a barrier that laughs at these conditions.
South Windham sees temperature swings that crack regular concrete. Our polyaspartic coatings flex with temperature changes instead of cracking. They resist hot tire pickup better than epoxy, so your floor won’t get marked up when you park after a long drive.
The coating also seals your concrete against moisture and prevents that concrete dust that gets on everything. Oil changes, brake fluid spills, antifreeze drips – they all wipe up without staining. And unlike bare concrete that needs constant sealing, your coated floor just needs an occasional mop.
Our professional-grade coatings are designed to last 15-20 years in Connecticut’s harsh climate. Unlike DIY epoxy that often fails within 2-3 years, we use polyaspartic and polyurea coatings that handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking.
Connecticut’s road salt and moisture are particularly hard on floors. Our coatings create a chemical-resistant barrier that prevents salt damage and moisture penetration. We’ve seen our floors in South Windham look like new after a decade of use.
The key is proper preparation and commercial-grade materials. Home improvement store kits are mostly water and create thin films that can’t handle real-world conditions. Our 100% solids coatings create a thick, durable layer that protects your concrete investment.
The difference is night and day. DIY kits from big box stores are typically 50% or more water-based to extend working time for inexperienced users. When they cure, you’re left with a thin film that takes up to a week to fully harden.
Our polyaspartic coatings are 100% solids, meaning no water or solvents that evaporate and leave gaps. This creates a much thicker, more durable coating that cures in hours, not days. You get your garage back faster with better results.
DIY kits also rely on acid etching for surface prep, which often isn’t aggressive enough for proper adhesion. We diamond grind every floor to create the mechanical bond needed for long-term performance. That’s why our installations come with warranties while DIY projects often peel within the first year.
It depends on the condition of the existing coating. If previous epoxy or paint is peeling, bubbling, or poorly bonded, we need to remove it completely before applying our system. Coating over a failing surface just guarantees our new coating will fail too.
For existing coatings in good condition, we can sometimes coat over them after proper surface preparation. We test the adhesion and compatibility first. If the existing coating passes our tests, we’ll scuff the surface and apply our system.
However, removal is often the better choice for long-term results. Starting with clean concrete gives us the strongest possible bond and the longest-lasting finish. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that gives you the best value for your investment.
Crack repair is a critical part of our process that separates professional installations from DIY attempts. We evaluate each crack to determine if it’s structural, settling-related, or just surface damage. Different types of cracks require different repair approaches.
For active cracks that might continue moving, we use flexible repair materials that can handle some movement without breaking the coating above. Static cracks get filled with rigid materials that match the strength of the surrounding concrete.
We also address any spalling, pitting, or surface damage before coating. The goal is creating a uniform surface that looks seamless when finished. Simply coating over damaged concrete just highlights the problems and often leads to premature coating failure. Proper repair work is what makes the difference between a coating that lasts decades versus one that fails in a few years.
Maintenance is one of the biggest advantages of professional floor coatings. For regular cleaning, just sweep or dust mop to remove debris, then damp mop with mild soap and water when needed. No special cleaners or harsh chemicals required.
Spills should be cleaned up promptly, though our coatings resist most automotive fluids, oils, and chemicals. For stubborn stains, a little degreaser and scrubbing usually does the trick. The smooth, non-porous surface doesn’t allow stains to penetrate like bare concrete.
Annual maintenance might include checking for any damage from dropped tools or other impacts. Small chips can be touched up easily. The coating’s durability means you won’t need resealing like you would with concrete sealers. Most of our South Windham customers tell us their floors still look great after years with just basic cleaning.
Our fast-cure polyaspartic coatings allow foot traffic within 24 hours of installation. This is much faster than traditional epoxy systems that can take 3-7 days to fully cure. You can move light items back into your garage the next day.
For vehicle traffic and heavy equipment, we recommend waiting 72 hours. This ensures the coating has reached full strength and hardness. The exact timing can vary slightly based on temperature and humidity, but we’ll give you specific guidance for your installation.
Compare this to DIY epoxy kits that often require 5-7 days before you can park on them, and sometimes longer in cool weather. Our professional-grade materials and proper application techniques get you back to normal use much faster while delivering superior long-term performance.
