Your garage floor takes a beating every single day. Oil spills, tire marks, dropped tools, Connecticut’s harsh winters – standard concrete just can’t handle it. But here’s what changes when you get it done right.
No more scrubbing oil stains that never come out. No more embarrassment when neighbors see your garage. No more concrete dust coating everything you store.
Instead, you get a surface that shrugs off whatever you throw at it. Spills wipe up with a paper towel. Your garage actually looks like part of your home instead of an afterthought.
We’re not another fly-by-night contractor making big promises. We’re a veteran-owned business that’s been serving Connecticut homeowners with the kind of work that actually lasts.
Our team holds certifications in Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings – the advanced materials that outperform basic epoxy. We back every residential job with a 15-year warranty because we know our work will be there long after others have failed.
Storrs homeowners face unique challenges. The temperature swings from UConn winters to humid summers. The mix of student rentals and family homes. We get it because we work here every day.
Most contractors cut corners on prep work, then wonder why their floors fail in six months. We do it differently.
First, we diamond-grind your concrete to create the perfect profile for adhesion. No shortcuts with acid etching that barely scratches the surface. Then we fill every crack and pit with professional-grade materials so your finished floor looks uniform.
Next comes our signature Polyaspartic Epoxy Flake system. We apply a moisture-blocking primer, broadcast your choice of decorative flakes, then seal everything with a UV-resistant topcoat that won’t yellow or fade.
The whole process typically takes one day. You park your car that evening on a floor that’s ready for decades of use.

This isn’t just about making your floor look better. It’s about solving the problems that have been driving you crazy.
Your new floor resists everything Connecticut throws at it. Road salt, antifreeze, hydraulic fluid, battery acid – none of it penetrates or stains. The surface reflects light, making your garage brighter and cutting your electric bill.
Storrs homeowners especially appreciate how our floors handle the university area’s unique demands. Whether you’re a professor storing research equipment or a family dealing with sports gear and lawn equipment, the surface stays clean with just occasional mopping.
The polyaspartic topcoat we use cures harder than standard epoxy and won’t peel under hot tires – a common problem with cheaper systems. Your investment is protected for the long haul.
Our polyaspartic epoxy systems routinely last 15-20 years in Connecticut’s climate, and we back that with a 15-year residential warranty. The key is proper installation and using commercial-grade materials instead of DIY store products.
Standard epoxy might last 5-7 years if you’re lucky. Our hybrid polyaspartic system handles temperature swings, UV exposure, and chemical spills without breaking down. We’ve seen our floors in Storrs homes look brand new after a decade of heavy use.
The longevity comes from our preparation process and material selection. When we diamond-grind your concrete and use 100% solids coatings, you’re getting a floor system that’s engineered to last, not just look good for a few years.
Polyaspartic coatings cure faster, resist UV damage, and handle temperature extremes better than standard epoxy. In Connecticut, where your garage might see 20°F in January and 95°F in July, that flexibility prevents cracking and peeling.
Regular epoxy becomes brittle in cold weather and can soften under hot tires. Our polyaspartic topcoat stays flexible and maintains its bond to the concrete through every season. It also resists yellowing from UV exposure, so your floor keeps its original color.
The chemical resistance is superior too. Road salt, antifreeze, oil, and other automotive fluids that would stain or damage regular epoxy just wipe off polyaspartic surfaces. For Storrs homeowners dealing with harsh winters and humid summers, it’s the difference between a floor that lasts and one that fails.
Yes, our polyaspartic system allows same-day installation and use in most cases. We start early, complete the diamond grinding and surface prep, apply the coating system, and you can walk on it within hours.
Traditional epoxy requires 3-7 days of curing time, which means your garage is unusable for nearly a week. Our advanced chemistry cures hard enough for foot traffic in 2-3 hours and vehicle traffic within 24 hours.
The key is temperature and humidity control. We monitor conditions throughout the process and adjust our materials accordingly. Storrs homeowners love that they can have their car back in the garage the same evening instead of leaving it outside for days.
Proper preparation is everything. We diamond-grind the entire surface to remove any existing coatings, open the concrete’s pores, and create the profile needed for maximum adhesion. This isn’t the light sanding that some contractors do.
We then vacuum all dust and debris, fill any cracks or pits with structural repair compounds, and test for moisture issues. Many concrete floors in the Storrs area have moisture problems that will cause any coating to fail if not addressed first.
The surface gets a final cleaning with industrial degreasers to remove any oil contamination. Only when the concrete is properly profiled, repaired, and completely clean do we apply our primer system. This preparation process is why our floors last decades while DIY kits fail in months.
Almost none. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild soap is all you need. The non-porous surface means spills sit on top instead of soaking in, so cleanup is usually just a paper towel.
Avoid harsh chemicals like muriatic acid or abrasive scrubbers that can dull the finish. A pH-neutral cleaner and soft mop will keep your floor looking new for years. Many Storrs homeowners tell us their garage floor is now easier to clean than their kitchen.
The polyaspartic topcoat resists staining, so even if you spill something and don’t clean it up immediately, it won’t permanently mark the surface. We recommend a quick hose-down a few times a year if you want to keep it looking showroom-fresh, but it’s not required for durability.
Investment varies based on your garage size and condition, but most Storrs homeowners invest between $3-8 per square foot for our complete polyaspartic system. That includes all prep work, materials, and our 15-year warranty.
Yes, it costs more than a DIY kit from the hardware store. But when you factor in the longevity, warranty, and professional results, the cost per year is actually lower than cheaper alternatives that need replacement every few years.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. Most homeowners find that the increased home value, reduced maintenance costs, and decades of durability make it one of their best home improvement investments.
