Imagine walking into your garage and seeing a floor that actually looks good. No more oil stains that won’t come out. No more slippery surfaces when it’s wet. No more concrete dust covering everything.
Your new epoxy floor handles whatever you throw at it. Oil changes, brake fluid spills, road salt from Connecticut winters – everything wipes clean with soap and water. The non-slip surface keeps you safe, even when wet.
Most importantly, you get your garage back as functional space. Whether you’re working on projects, storing equipment, or just want a clean place to park your cars, a professional garage floor coating makes it happen.
We’ve been installing professional-grade epoxy and polyaspartic coatings for Connecticut homeowners who want results that last. We’re not the guys selling you a quick fix that peels off in two years.
Higganum homeowners deal with unique challenges – from road salt damage in winter to humidity issues that cause most DIY coatings to fail. We use commercial-grade materials and proper surface preparation because we know what works in Connecticut’s climate.
Every installation includes proper moisture testing, diamond grinding for adhesion, and professional-grade coatings that handle everything from hot tires to chemical spills. That’s why our floors come with warranties and actually deliver on them.
First, we test your concrete for moisture issues that cause most coating failures. Then we diamond grind the surface to create proper adhesion – not the weak acid etching that DIY kits rely on.
Any cracks or imperfections get filled with professional-grade materials so your finished floor looks uniform. We clean everything thoroughly because even small debris can ruin the final result.
The actual coating application uses 100% solids epoxy, not the water-based formulas in store-bought kits. We apply multiple coats for maximum durability and finish with a protective topcoat. You can walk on it in 24 hours and park your car in 72 hours. Most jobs take just two days from start to finish.

Your garage floor coating includes complete surface preparation, moisture testing, crack repair, and professional-grade materials designed for Connecticut conditions. We’re not just throwing coating over whatever’s there.
Higganum’s mix of older and newer homes means every garage is different. Some have moisture issues, others have settling cracks, and many have years of oil stains. We handle all of it as part of the job, not as expensive add-ons.
The finished floor resists everything – road salt, oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, and regular wear from foot traffic and vehicles. Colors and finishes can match your home’s style, and the non-slip texture keeps everyone safe. Plus, cleaning takes minutes instead of hours because everything wipes off easily.
Professional-grade epoxy coatings installed properly last 15-20 years in Connecticut conditions. The key is using commercial-grade materials and proper surface preparation, not the water-based kits from home stores.
Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and humidity are tough on floors. That’s why we use 100% solids epoxy with proper primers and topcoats. DIY kits typically fail within 2-3 years because they’re mostly water and don’t bond properly to concrete.
Our installations include moisture testing and diamond grinding because most coating failures happen when moisture pushes up through the concrete. When done right, your floor handles everything Connecticut weather throws at it.
High-quality epoxy coatings handle hot tires without problems when installed with proper thickness and materials. The issue comes with thin, cheap coatings that soften under heat.
We use multiple coats of commercial-grade epoxy, not single thin applications. This creates a thick, durable surface that maintains its integrity even when your car sits on it after highway driving. The coating is designed for automotive environments.
Store-bought kits often fail with hot tire pickup because they’re too thin and use inferior materials. Professional installation with proper thickness eliminates this problem completely. Your cars can park immediately after the curing period without any concerns.
Maintenance is simple – sweep regularly and mop with mild soap and water when needed. The smooth, non-porous surface means spills don’t soak in like they do with bare concrete.
For oil changes or automotive work, spills wipe up easily with paper towels or a regular mop. Even brake fluid, antifreeze, and gasoline clean up without staining. You can even use a garden hose if you have water access in your garage.
The coating resists chemicals, so you don’t need special cleaners or harsh scrubbing. Most homeowners find they spend about 90% less time cleaning their garage floor compared to bare concrete. It’s one of the biggest practical benefits of professional coating.
Professional epoxy uses 100% solids formulations while store kits are typically 50% or more water. This means professional coatings cure thicker and stronger, lasting decades instead of years.
Surface preparation makes the biggest difference. We diamond grind the concrete to create proper adhesion and test for moisture issues. DIY kits rely on acid etching that doesn’t create strong bonds, which is why they peel and chip.
Professional installation also includes proper crack repair, multiple coats, and commercial-grade topcoats for protection. Store kits give you basic materials and hope for the best. The cost difference pays for itself when you don’t have to redo the floor every few years.
You can walk on the floor after 24 hours and park your car after 72 hours. Most installations take 2 days total, so you’re only without garage access for a short time.
The first day covers surface preparation and base coat application. Day two includes final coats and cleanup. We schedule around your needs, so you’re not stuck with cars in the driveway for weeks.
This quick turnaround is possible because we use professional-grade materials that cure properly in Connecticut’s climate. DIY projects often take longer and have unpredictable results because the materials aren’t designed for consistent performance.
Yes, but only with proper preparation and professional-grade materials. Older concrete often has moisture, settling cracks, and adhesion challenges that require experienced handling.
Higganum’s mix of historic and newer homes means we see everything from 1950s concrete to recent construction. Each situation needs different approaches – moisture mitigation for older slabs, crack repair for settled foundations, and proper cleaning for oil-soaked surfaces.
The key is moisture testing and using primers designed for challenging conditions. We’ve successfully coated garage floors in homes from every era in Higganum. The right materials and preparation make the difference between a coating that lasts decades and one that fails within months.
