No more oil stains soaking into concrete. No more embarrassment when the garage door opens. Your floor becomes the kind of surface that makes neighbors stop and ask questions.
The difference isn’t just cosmetic. You get a non-slip surface that handles Connecticut winters, resists chemicals from car maintenance, and cleans up with just soap and water. Most importantly, you get a floor that doesn’t peel, chip, or fail after the first hot summer.
This is what happens when proper preparation meets professional-grade materials. Your garage transforms from a neglected space into something you’re actually proud to show off.
We’ve been transforming Connecticut garages since 2020, specializing in polyaspartic and polyurea coatings that outperform traditional epoxy. American Poly Floor was founded by Craig and Dave, two lifelong friends who understand what quality craftsmanship means to homeowners.
We’re certified in advanced coating technologies that most contractors don’t even know exist. While others are still using outdated methods, we’re delivering one-day installations that cure properly and last decades. Our team combines over 30 years of business experience with cutting-edge materials.
Kensington residents appreciate our straightforward approach. We don’t oversell or cut corners. We show up when promised, complete the work in one day, and stand behind every installation with real warranties that matter.
First, we diamond-grind your concrete to create the proper surface profile. This isn’t the weak acid etching that DIY kits use – it’s mechanical preparation that ensures permanent adhesion. We repair any cracks and thoroughly clean every particle of dust and debris.
Next comes moisture mitigation primer, followed by our polyaspartic base coat. We add decorative flakes if you want them, then apply the final protective topcoat. The entire process happens in one day, with no need to move your cars out for weeks.
You can walk on the floor in just a few hours. Within 24 hours, you’re parking cars on a surface that’s harder and more durable than what you started with. No waiting around, no multiple visits, no disruption to your routine.

Every garage floor coating includes diamond grinding, crack repair, moisture mitigation, base coat, and protective topcoat. You get slip-resistant texture, UV protection, and chemical resistance that handles everything from battery acid to brake fluid.
For Kensington homeowners, this means a floor that survives Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. Your coating won’t yellow from sunlight streaming through garage windows. It won’t peel when hot tires sit on it during summer heat waves.
We include a manufacturer’s warranty because we use materials designed for commercial applications. This isn’t residential-grade coating that fails after two years. It’s the same technology used in auto dealerships and manufacturing facilities, adapted for your home garage.
Our polyaspartic coatings cure much faster than traditional epoxy. You can walk on the floor within 4-6 hours of installation. Full vehicle traffic is safe after 24 hours.
Traditional epoxy can take up to 30 days to fully cure, especially in Connecticut’s humid conditions. Our advanced chemistry eliminates this problem completely. The coating reaches 90% of its final hardness within the first day, so you’re not waiting weeks to use your garage normally.
DIY kits use water-based formulas that create thin, weak coatings. We use 100% solids polyaspartic technology that’s four times thicker and exponentially more durable.
The biggest difference is surface preparation. Home improvement store kits rely on acid etching, which barely scratches the surface. We use diamond grinding to create the proper concrete profile for permanent adhesion. This is why DIY coatings peel and professional installations last decades.
Our materials cost more than entire DIY kits, but they’re the same coatings used in commercial and industrial applications where failure isn’t an option.
Absolutely. Our polyaspartic coatings are specifically designed to resist hot tire pickup and chemical damage. Unlike traditional epoxy that softens under heat, our coating maintains its integrity even when hot tires sit on it.
The chemical resistance is exceptional. Motor oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, battery acid – none of these will stain or damage the surface. Spills wipe up easily with soap and water, leaving no permanent marks.
This durability comes from using materials originally developed for automotive manufacturing facilities, where chemical exposure and heavy equipment are daily realities.
We incorporate slip-resistant texture into every installation. The decorative flakes aren’t just for appearance – they create a textured surface that provides traction even when wet.
Traditional smooth epoxy becomes dangerously slippery with even small amounts of water. Our textured finish gives you confident footing whether you’re dealing with rain tracked in on shoes or washing your car in the garage.
The slip resistance is permanent because it’s built into the coating system, not applied on top where it can wear away over time.
Every installation includes a manufacturer’s warranty that covers adhesion failure, premature wear, and defects in materials. The specific terms depend on the coating system you choose, but all our installations are backed by real warranty protection.
More importantly, we stand behind our work with our own craftsmanship guarantee. If something goes wrong due to installation error, we fix it at no charge. This includes proper surface preparation, correct mixing ratios, and appropriate environmental conditions during installation.
We can offer these warranties because we use proven materials and follow strict installation protocols. When the job is done right the first time, warranty claims are extremely rare.
Cost depends on your garage size, current floor condition, and the coating system you select. Most residential garages in Kensington range from moderate to higher investment, but the cost per square foot decreases with larger areas.
The real question isn’t the upfront cost – it’s the long-term value. Our coatings last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. Compare that to replacing DIY coatings every 2-3 years, plus the time and frustration of repeated failures.
We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific garage. This includes surface preparation, materials, labor, and warranty coverage. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics.
