You’re tired of looking at that cracked, stained concrete floor every time you pull into your garage. The dust gets on everything, the cracks collect dirt and moisture, and honestly, it’s embarrassing when neighbors see it.
Here’s what changes after we install your new epoxy coating. You pull in and immediately notice the difference – a glossy, seamless surface that reflects light and makes your entire garage look bigger and cleaner. Spills wipe up instantly instead of soaking into porous concrete. Road salt from Connecticut winters can’t penetrate the surface anymore.
Your garage becomes a space you’re actually proud of. No more dust tracking into your house, no more stains that won’t come out, and no more worrying about what the concrete looks like underneath your car.
We’ve been transforming Connecticut garages since 2020, and our team brings over 30 years of combined flooring experience to every project. We’re BBB accredited because we do what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it.
We understand Willimantic’s climate challenges. The freeze-thaw cycles, the road salt, the humidity – your garage floor takes a beating here. That’s why we use professional-grade polyaspartic and polyurea coatings that are specifically engineered for New England conditions.
Unlike the big box store DIY kits that fail within a couple years, our coatings are designed to last decades. We’re not just applying a coating – we’re solving the underlying problems that cause garage floors to crack, stain, and deteriorate in the first place.
We start by diamond grinding your concrete floor to create the proper profile for maximum adhesion. This isn’t the weak acid etching that DIY kits use – this is professional surface preparation that ensures your coating bonds permanently to the concrete.
Next, we fill any cracks and pits with professional-grade materials, then thoroughly clean the entire surface to remove all dust and debris. We apply a moisture mitigation primer to prevent future peeling, followed by our polyaspartic base coat.
The decorative flakes go on next if you’ve chosen that option, creating texture and hiding any minor imperfections. Finally, we apply the polyaspartic topcoat that provides UV resistance and that brilliant, durable finish. Most jobs are completed in one day, and you can walk on it in 24 hours, drive on it in 72 hours.

Your garage floor coating includes everything needed to handle Willimantic’s climate extremes. Our polyaspartic system is chemical resistant, so road salt, oil, antifreeze, and other automotive fluids won’t stain or damage the surface.
The coating is applied thick enough to level minor imperfections in your concrete and create that smooth, seamless finish. Anti-slip additives are integrated throughout for safety, even when the floor is wet. The UV-stable formulation won’t yellow or fade, even in garages with windows or door exposure to sunlight.
In Willimantic, we see a lot of garage floors that have been damaged by moisture intrusion and freeze-thaw cycles. Our moisture mitigation primer creates a barrier that prevents water from wicking up through the concrete. This is especially important in older homes where the concrete slab may not have proper vapor barriers underneath.
Our professional-grade polyaspartic coatings are designed to last 20+ years in Connecticut’s challenging climate. Unlike DIY epoxy kits that typically fail within 2-3 years, our system uses 100% solids coatings that create a thick, durable barrier against moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations.
The key difference is in the surface preparation and materials. We diamond grind the concrete and use moisture mitigation primers that prevent the coating from lifting or peeling. Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles and road salt are particularly hard on garage floors, but our coatings are specifically formulated to handle these conditions without cracking or deteriorating.
Yes, we can install over cracked concrete, and in most cases, we can make it look like new. We start by evaluating the cracks to determine if they’re structural or just surface-level settling cracks. Most garage floor cracks are cosmetic and can be properly repaired.
We use professional-grade crack fillers and patching compounds to level the surface before applying the coating. Our polyaspartic system is thick enough to bridge minor imperfections and create a smooth, seamless finish. However, if there are major structural issues or significant settlement, we’ll discuss those with you upfront so there are no surprises.
The diamond grinding process also helps by creating a uniform surface profile that allows the coating to bond properly, even over previously sealed or painted concrete.
The difference is night and day, starting with the materials themselves. Most DIY kits are 50% or more water-based, which means you’re left with a very thin coating that can take up to a week to cure. Our professional coatings are 100% solids, creating a thick, durable layer that cures in hours, not days.
Surface preparation is the other major difference. DIY kits rely on acid etching, which simply isn’t aggressive enough to create proper adhesion. We diamond grind the floor to create the mechanical bond needed for long-term performance. This is why you see DIY coatings failing where car tires pull the coating right off the floor.
Our polyaspartic system also includes moisture mitigation primers and UV-stable topcoats that aren’t available in consumer products. The result is a coating that looks better, lasts longer, and performs better under real-world conditions.
Maintenance is incredibly simple, which is one of the major benefits of a professional coating. For daily cleaning, just sweep or use a leaf blower to remove dirt and debris. The smooth, non-porous surface doesn’t trap dust like bare concrete does.
For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and mop with warm water. Oil spills, antifreeze, and other automotive fluids wipe up easily without staining. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the glossy finish, though the coating is tough enough to handle most household cleaners without issues.
The coating is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Unlike bare concrete that needs regular sealing, or painted floors that need frequent touch-ups, your epoxy coating will look great for years with just basic cleaning.
Absolutely. Our polyaspartic coatings are specifically formulated to handle hot tire pickup, which is a common problem with lower-grade coatings. The chemical composition creates a hard surface that won’t soften under heat or pressure from vehicle tires.
We’ve installed these coatings in commercial auto shops, manufacturing facilities, and residential garages that see heavy use from trucks, motorcycles, and classic cars. The coating distributes weight evenly across the surface, which actually helps prevent cracking and deterioration of the underlying concrete.
For extra peace of mind in high-traffic situations, we can apply additional coats to increase thickness and durability. The coating system is designed to handle everything from daily commuter cars to weekend project vehicles without showing wear or damage.
You can walk on your new floor in about 24 hours, and drive on it within 72 hours. This is dramatically faster than traditional epoxy coatings, which often require 5-7 days before you can park a car on them.
The quick cure time is possible because of our polyaspartic technology, which cures through a different chemical reaction than standard epoxy. This means less downtime for you and faster return to normal use of your garage space.
We typically start in the morning and finish the same day for most residential garages. You’ll be able to walk through and admire your new floor by the next evening, and be parking your car on it by the weekend. The coating reaches full hardness within a week, but it’s ready for normal use much sooner than that.
