Your garage floor takes a beating every single day. Oil stains that won’t come out. Cracks that keep getting worse. Concrete that’s chipping and flaking because moisture keeps getting underneath.
You’ve probably tried the DIY route before. Maybe grabbed one of those big-box store kits, spent a weekend working on it, only to watch it start peeling up when you backed your car out. That’s because most DIY solutions are water-based and simply can’t handle the real-world conditions your garage faces.
When we’re done, you’ll have a seamless, non-porous surface that actually repels oil, chemicals, and moisture instead of absorbing them. No more scrubbing stains. No more worrying about cracks spreading. Just a floor that looks professional and stays that way for decades.
We’re a veteran-owned business that’s been serving Connecticut homeowners with industrial-grade flooring solutions. We’re not another fly-by-night contractor trying to upsell you on unnecessary add-ons.
Our team holds professional certifications in polyurea and polyaspartic coatings – the advanced systems that outperform traditional epoxy. We use the same materials you’d find in commercial facilities and manufacturing plants, not the watered-down versions sold to DIYers.
Thompsonville’s industrial heritage means residents understand quality work when they see it. That’s exactly what you get with us – honest pricing, professional installation, and floors built to handle whatever you throw at them. We show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat your property like our own.
We start with proper surface preparation – not the quick acid wash that DIY kits recommend, but professional diamond grinding that gives our coatings something solid to grip. This step alone is why our floors last decades while others start failing in months.
Next comes crack repair and filling using commercial-grade materials. We don’t just cover up problems; we fix them permanently. Then we apply a moisture mitigation primer that creates an impermeable barrier between your concrete and our coating system.
The coating itself goes down in multiple layers. First, the base coat that bonds chemically with your prepared concrete. Then decorative elements if you want them – vinyl flakes, metallic finishes, or solid colors that match your style. Finally, a polyaspartic topcoat that provides superior UV resistance and scratch protection.
Most jobs are complete in one day. You can walk on it in 24 hours and park your car in 72 hours. No week-long curing times, no strong chemical odors lingering in your garage.

Every installation includes thorough surface preparation, crack repair, moisture mitigation primer, and a polyaspartic topcoat system. We use only professional-grade materials – the same coatings specified for commercial kitchens, manufacturing facilities, and high-traffic retail spaces.
You get unlimited color and finish options. Solid colors for a clean, minimalist look. Vinyl flake systems that hide imperfections and add slip resistance. Metallic finishes that create depth and visual interest. All with the same industrial-strength protection underneath.
Connecticut’s climate is tough on concrete. Freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, moisture infiltration – these all cause the cracking and spalling problems you see in older garages around Thompsonville. Our moisture-resistant barrier and flexible coating system handle these challenges without cracking or peeling.
The result is a floor that’s completely waterproof, chemical-resistant, and easy to maintain. Spills wipe up instead of soaking in. No more oil stains, no more concrete dust, no more embarrassment when neighbors see your garage.
Professional-grade polyaspartic and epoxy systems properly installed on prepared concrete typically last 15-20 years or more in Connecticut’s climate. The key factors are surface preparation and using industrial-grade materials rather than DIY-grade coatings.
Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles and road salt exposure can be hard on concrete, but our moisture mitigation primer creates an impermeable barrier that prevents water infiltration. The polyaspartic topcoat we use is specifically formulated to handle temperature fluctuations without cracking or peeling.
DIY kits from big-box stores usually start failing within 1-3 years because they’re water-based formulations designed for easy application, not long-term performance. Professional systems cost more upfront but save money over time by eliminating the need for frequent recoating.
Polyaspartic coatings cure faster, offer better UV resistance, and maintain flexibility longer than traditional epoxy systems. While epoxy can take 3-7 days to fully cure, polyaspartic systems are ready for foot traffic in 24 hours and vehicle traffic in 72 hours.
The faster cure time means less disruption to your routine and reduces the risk of contamination during installation. Polyaspartic also maintains its gloss and color better over time, especially in garages that get direct sunlight.
Both systems provide excellent chemical resistance and durability when professionally installed. We often use hybrid systems that combine the best properties of both – an epoxy base for strong adhesion and chemical resistance, topped with polyaspartic for fast cure and UV stability. The choice depends on your specific needs, timeline, and budget.
Yes, but proper crack repair is essential for a lasting installation. We don’t just coat over cracks and hope for the best – that’s a recipe for failure. Instead, we clean out loose material, fill cracks with flexible repair compounds, and ensure the surface is structurally sound before coating.
Minor hairline cracks can often be filled and sealed as part of the normal preparation process. Larger cracks or areas where concrete has settled may require more extensive repair work. We’ll assess your floor during the initial consultation and explain exactly what’s needed.
The goal is creating a stable, uniform surface that won’t telegraph problems up through the new coating. When done properly, repaired areas often end up stronger than the original concrete. We guarantee our work, so we make sure repairs are done right the first time.
Professional garage floor coating typically runs $4-10 per square foot depending on the coating system, surface condition, and finish options you choose. Most two-car garages (400-500 sq ft) range from $1,600-$4,000 for a complete professional installation.
Factors affecting cost include the amount of surface preparation needed, crack repairs, coating type (standard epoxy vs polyaspartic), and decorative elements like metallic finishes or vinyl flakes. We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
While professional installation costs more than DIY kits upfront, it typically saves money long-term by eliminating the need for frequent recoating. A professionally installed system that lasts 15-20 years costs less per year than DIY solutions that fail every 2-3 years and need constant maintenance.
Properly installed garage floor coatings can actually be less slippery than bare concrete when wet. We incorporate slip-resistant additives and texturing techniques that provide excellent traction even in wet conditions.
Vinyl flake systems naturally create a textured surface that enhances grip. For solid color installations, we can add aluminum oxide or other anti-slip aggregates to the topcoat. The key is using the right technique for your specific situation and intended use.
Smooth, high-gloss finishes can be slippery when wet, which is why we discuss your needs during consultation. If slip resistance is a priority – for example, if you wash vehicles in your garage – we’ll recommend appropriate texturing options that maintain the durability and easy cleaning properties while providing secure footing.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that cover both materials and installation. Warranty terms vary by coating system and application, but typically range from 5-15 years depending on the specific products used.
Our warranties cover adhesion failure, premature wear, and defects in materials or workmanship. We use only professional-grade coatings from established manufacturers who back their products with their own material warranties, giving you double protection.
What’s not covered are damage from abuse, chemical spills beyond the coating’s specifications, or normal wear from extremely heavy use. We’ll explain warranty terms clearly during consultation and provide everything in writing. The goal is giving you complete confidence in your investment and peace of mind for years to come.
