Your concrete stops absorbing oil stains. Spills wipe clean in seconds instead of leaving permanent marks. No more dust tracked through your house every time you walk across the garage.
The coating bonds directly into your concrete – not just sitting on top like paint. That means it won’t peel, chip, or wear through in the high-traffic areas where you actually park and work.
You get a floor that looks professional and stays that way. Even after years of cars, tools, and Connecticut winters, it maintains the same clean appearance you started with.
We’ve been protecting Connecticut garage floors at American Poly Floor since we started. We understand how freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and daily use affect your concrete.
Gales Ferry homeowners choose us because we show up when scheduled, work efficiently, and deliver results that last. Your neighbors in those beautiful Colonial and ranch homes trust us with their garage investments.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Quality materials and proper installation cost more upfront but save you money over time through fewer repairs and longer life.
First, we prepare your concrete properly. That means diamond grinding to create the right surface profile – not the light acid etching that fails in two years. We fill cracks and repair damage so your coating has a solid foundation.
Next comes the coating system. We use professional-grade materials that cure properly in Connecticut’s climate. The base coat bonds chemically with your concrete. The topcoat provides the protection and appearance you want.
Most installations complete in one day. You can walk on it within hours and drive on it by the next day. No waiting around for a week while your garage is unusable.

We use polyaspartic technology alongside traditional epoxy systems. That means faster curing, better UV resistance, and superior durability compared to standard epoxy-only coatings.
Your floor won’t yellow from sunlight coming through garage windows. It handles Connecticut’s temperature swings without cracking. Oil, antifreeze, and other automotive fluids clean up easily without staining.
Gales Ferry’s mix of historic and newer homes means different concrete conditions. We adjust our process based on your specific floor – whether it’s a 1970s ranch foundation or newer construction. Each installation gets the preparation and materials it needs for long-term success.
Most garage floor coating installations in Gales Ferry complete in one day. We arrive in the morning, prep your concrete, and apply the coating system.
You can typically walk on the floor within 4-6 hours. Light vehicle traffic is usually fine after 24 hours. Full cure happens over the next few days, but you can use your garage normally.
The exact timeline depends on your garage size, concrete condition, and weather. We’ll give you specific timing when we evaluate your floor.
Yes, but preparation is everything. Many Gales Ferry homes were built in the 1970s-1990s, and those concrete floors often have unique challenges.
We evaluate each floor individually. Older concrete sometimes needs crack repair, oil stain treatment, or additional prep work. We handle those issues as part of the installation process.
The key is proper surface preparation and using the right coating system for your specific concrete. That’s why we inspect every floor before starting work.
Professional-grade materials and proper installation make the difference. DIY kits use water-based formulas that create thin, weak coatings.
Our polyaspartic and epoxy systems contain 100% solids – no water fillers. They penetrate deeper and bond stronger with your concrete. Professional surface preparation ensures the coating actually adheres instead of peeling off later.
Most DIY attempts fail within 1-2 years. Our installations typically last 15+ years with normal use. The upfront cost difference pays for itself through longevity.
Maintenance is simple – sweep regularly and mop with mild detergent when needed. That’s it.
Oil spills, road salt, and most automotive fluids wipe up easily without staining. You don’t need special cleaners or harsh chemicals. Regular household cleaners work fine.
The coating actually makes maintenance easier than bare concrete. Spills stay on the surface instead of soaking in, and dust doesn’t embed into the floor like it does with uncoated concrete.
Yes, our polyaspartic coating systems work in a wide temperature range, including Connecticut winters. Unlike traditional epoxy that requires specific temperature windows, we can install year-round.
Your garage provides a controlled environment that’s usually warm enough for proper installation. We monitor conditions and adjust our process as needed.
Winter installation actually has advantages – faster scheduling and you get to enjoy your new floor right when you’re spending more time in the garage during cold weather.
We provide a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the coating system you choose and your garage conditions.
Our warranty covers delamination, excessive wear, and coating failure under normal residential use. It doesn’t cover damage from impacts, chemicals not typical in garage environments, or improper maintenance.
We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper installation techniques. Most issues that occur are from poor surface prep or inferior products – problems you won’t have with our system.
