You walk into a garage that looks clean, professional, and organized. The floor shines without being slippery, resists every oil drip and chemical spill, and stays that way for decades.
No more embarrassment when neighbors see your garage. No more worrying about slips on wet concrete. No more scrubbing stains that never come out.
Your investment pays off immediately in both function and home value, while saving you countless hours of maintenance over the years.
We’ve been transforming Connecticut garages for years, and we understand what Old Saybrook Center homeowners face. Your coastal location means dealing with salt air, winter road salt tracked in on vehicles, and humidity that can damage unprotected concrete.
We’ve worked in hundreds of local garages, from historic homes near the Connecticut River to newer developments around the Old Saybrook Shopping Center area. We know the specific challenges your concrete faces and exactly how to prepare it for a coating that will last.
Our team uses professional-grade materials and proven techniques that stand up to everything Connecticut weather throws at them.
First, we thoroughly prepare your concrete surface. This means proper cleaning, crack repair, and surface profiling to ensure maximum adhesion. Most failures happen because this step gets rushed or skipped entirely.
Next, we apply our professional-grade epoxy system in multiple coats. Our materials resist chemicals, salt, oil, and UV damage while providing the slip resistance you need for safety. We’re not using the same products you’ll find at big box stores.
The entire process typically takes two days. Day one is preparation and initial coating. Day two is final coating and cleanup. You can walk on it after 24 hours and park your car after 72 hours.

Your garage floor coating includes complete surface preparation, crack and joint repair, primer application, base coat, and protective topcoat. We use materials specifically chosen for Connecticut’s climate and your garage’s specific conditions.
Old Saybrook Center’s proximity to Long Island Sound means your garage faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates concrete deterioration, winter road salt creates additional wear, and coastal humidity can cause problems with inferior coatings. Our coating system is designed to handle these specific local conditions.
You also get our commitment to quality workmanship, complete cleanup that leaves your garage spotless, and guidance on proper care to maximize your floor’s lifespan. We stand behind our work because we’ve seen what works in Connecticut garages.
A properly installed professional epoxy coating typically lasts 15-20 years in Connecticut garages, even with regular vehicle traffic and exposure to road salt. The key is proper surface preparation and using materials designed for our climate.
DIY kits often fail within 2-3 years because they can’t properly prepare the concrete or use materials that handle temperature fluctuations and moisture. Our professional-grade systems are specifically engineered for durability in coastal New England conditions.
Your actual lifespan depends on usage and maintenance, but most of our Old Saybrook Center customers see excellent performance well into the second decade.
We need to remove existing paint first for proper adhesion. Paint creates a barrier that prevents the epoxy from bonding directly to the concrete, which leads to peeling and failure within months.
Our preparation process includes paint removal, concrete cleaning, and surface profiling. This ensures the epoxy bonds mechanically and chemically to the concrete substrate. Skipping this step is the main reason coatings fail prematurely.
The extra preparation time is worth it because you get a coating that actually lasts instead of one that starts peeling within a year or two.
We repair all cracks before applying the coating system. Small cracks get filled with specialized crack injection materials, while larger cracks may require routing and filling with flexible repair compounds.
The coastal location of Old Saybrook Center means concrete experiences more freeze-thaw cycles and salt exposure, which can worsen existing cracks. We address the root cause, not just cover the symptoms.
Our crack repair is designed to flex with the concrete’s natural movement while maintaining a waterproof seal. This prevents water infiltration that could undermine the coating or cause further concrete damage.
Polyaspartic coatings cure much faster than epoxy and offer superior UV resistance and flexibility. While epoxy requires 24-72 hours to fully cure, polyaspartic can be ready for vehicle traffic in just 4-6 hours.
For Old Saybrook Center garages that get natural light, polyaspartic won’t yellow over time like some epoxies can. It also handles temperature fluctuations better, which matters during Connecticut’s seasonal changes.
Both options provide excellent durability and chemical resistance. We’ll recommend the best system based on your specific garage conditions, timeline, and budget requirements.
Professional garage floor coating typically costs $3-7 per square foot depending on your garage’s condition, size, and the coating system you choose. Most two-car garages range from $1,200-2,800 for complete professional installation.
This includes all surface preparation, crack repair, primer, base coat, and topcoat. While DIY kits seem cheaper upfront, they often need replacement within 2-3 years, making professional installation more cost-effective long-term.
We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific garage. Factors like extensive crack repair or unusual layouts can affect pricing, but we’ll explain everything upfront with no surprises.
Temperature and humidity control are critical for proper epoxy curing. We can work in winter conditions, but your garage needs to maintain temperatures above 50°F during application and curing.
Most Old Saybrook Center garages aren’t heated, so winter installations require temporary heating equipment. We bring industrial heaters when needed to ensure proper curing conditions throughout the process.
Spring through fall typically provides the most consistent conditions, but we can accommodate winter projects when you need the work done. We’ll discuss the specific requirements for your garage and timing.
