Your garage becomes the space you’ve always wanted. No more embarrassing oil stains that won’t come out. No more concrete dust tracking through your house every time you walk across the floor.
The difference is immediate. You’ll have a clean, professional surface that actually adds value to your home. Your neighbors in Oxoboxo River will notice. More importantly, you’ll finally have a garage that works as hard as you do.
Whether you’re working on projects, storing equipment, or just want a space that looks finished, an epoxy finish garage floor changes everything. It’s the upgrade that makes sense.
We’ve been serving Connecticut homeowners since 2020, but we bring over 30 years of combined experience to every job. We’re not a national chain—we’re your neighbors in Connecticut who understand what works in our climate.
Living in Oxoboxo River means dealing with freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and the reality of New England weather. We’ve seen what happens when floors aren’t done right the first time. That’s why we use materials and methods that actually last in Connecticut conditions.
We’re BBB accredited and locally owned because we plan to be here for the long haul. Your satisfaction isn’t just good business—it’s how we build our reputation in communities like Oxoboxo River.
Day one starts with proper preparation. We grind the concrete to create the profile needed for adhesion, repair any cracks, and ensure the surface is ready. This step determines whether your floor lasts two years or twenty.
Day two is application. We apply the primer, base coat, and decorative chips if you choose them. Each layer is precisely mixed and applied according to manufacturer specifications. No shortcuts, no rushing.
Day three is the topcoat and final details. We apply the clear protective layer that gives you chemical resistance and that professional finish. Most jobs are ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours, full use in 72 hours.
You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start, and we’ll communicate throughout the process. No surprises, no extended timelines.

Every epoxy finish garage floor in Oxoboxo River includes complete surface preparation, crack repair, and a multi-layer coating system designed for Connecticut conditions. We don’t cut corners on prep work because that’s what separates a professional job from a DIY disaster.
Your coating system includes primer for maximum adhesion, base color coat, optional decorative chips for texture and appearance, and a clear topcoat for protection. Each layer serves a purpose, and each is applied when conditions are right.
Living in southeastern Connecticut means your garage sees everything from road salt to lawn chemicals. Our coatings are formulated to handle what gets tracked in from Oxoboxo River roads and driveways. You get chemical resistance, stain protection, and a surface that actually gets cleaner with regular mopping instead of dirtier.
A properly installed epoxy finish garage floor will last 10-15 years in Connecticut conditions, often longer with basic maintenance. The key is proper preparation and using materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles.
Connecticut’s climate is tough on floors. We see temperatures from below zero to over 90 degrees, plus road salt, ice melt, and everything else that gets tracked into garages. Quality epoxy systems are designed to handle this abuse.
The floors that fail early usually have preparation issues or use residential-grade materials in situations that need commercial-grade products. We use commercial-grade systems on every job because your garage floor needs to perform like a commercial space.
Epoxy is a chemical coating that bonds to concrete at the molecular level. Paint sits on top. When you see garage floors peeling up in sheets, that’s usually paint, not epoxy.
Real epoxy requires mixing two components that chemically react to form a plastic-like surface. It’s significantly thicker than paint—typically 10-20 times thicker. This thickness provides impact resistance and durability that paint simply can’t match.
The preparation is also different. Epoxy requires proper concrete grinding to create a surface profile. Paint can be applied over existing concrete with minimal prep. The extra work upfront is what makes the difference in longevity.
You’ll need to completely clear your garage for 3-4 days during installation. Most homeowners in Oxoboxo River use this as an opportunity to organize and declutter before the new floor goes in.
Day one is preparation and primer. Day two is base coat and chips. Day three is topcoat. Each layer needs proper cure time, and foot traffic during curing can damage the finish permanently.
We recommend moving vehicles to the driveway or street and storing garage contents in a basement, spare room, or temporary storage unit. The inconvenience is worth it for a floor that will look great for years. Most customers tell us they should have done it sooner.
Maintenance is surprisingly simple. Regular sweeping or dust mopping removes dirt and debris. Monthly mopping with a mild cleaner keeps the surface looking new. That’s essentially it.
Spills should be cleaned up promptly, but even automotive fluids won’t permanently stain a properly installed epoxy floor. Oil, antifreeze, brake fluid—they’ll wipe up with basic household cleaners. No more permanent stains that make your garage look like a mechanic’s shop.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The floor is tough, but aggressive scrubbing with steel wool or harsh acids can damage the surface. Stick to mild detergents and soft brushes for any stubborn spots.
Minor chips or scratches can usually be repaired without redoing the entire floor. We keep detailed records of the materials used on each job, so touch-ups match perfectly.
Most damage comes from dropping heavy tools or dragging sharp objects across the surface. The floor is tough, but it’s not indestructible. Small chips can be filled and blended to be virtually invisible.
Major damage typically indicates an installation problem or extreme impact. Quality epoxy should handle normal garage use including car jacks, dropped tools, and heavy storage. If you’re seeing widespread failure, that’s usually a sign of preparation issues during installation.
We add anti-slip additives to garage floor topcoats specifically to address this concern. The texture provides traction even when the surface is wet from snow, rain, or washing vehicles.
Smooth epoxy can be slippery when wet, which is why we don’t recommend high-gloss finishes without texture in garages. The anti-slip additives are nearly invisible but provide significant traction improvement.
Connecticut garages see a lot of moisture from snow-covered vehicles, tracked-in rain, and general humidity. We account for this in every installation by using appropriate texture levels for the intended use. Safety is always part of the equation.
