Your garage stops being that space you avoid looking at. Instead, you get a floor that handles whatever you throw at it—literally. Oil spills wipe up with a paper towel. Salt and chemicals from winter roads don’t leave permanent damage. Hot tires don’t leave marks.
The concrete underneath stays protected instead of slowly cracking and pitting. You can actually hose down the entire floor when it gets dirty. And when neighbors see it, they ask who did the work.
This isn’t about making your garage pretty. It’s about having a floor that works as hard as you do.
We’ve been handling Connecticut floors since we started American Poly Floor as a veteran-owned business. We’re not the guys who show up with a bucket of paint from the hardware store. Our team holds certifications in Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings—the advanced materials that actually last.
Essex Village homeowners deal with real weather. Salt, snow melt, temperature swings that would crack lesser coatings. We’ve seen what happens to cheap epoxy jobs after one Connecticut winter. That’s why we use industrial-grade materials designed for this climate.
We’ve completed thousands of projects across residential and commercial spaces. When you call us, you’re getting the same crew that handles warehouse floors and commercial kitchens—people who know what durable actually means.
First, we prepare your concrete properly. That means diamond grinding to create the profile our coatings need to bond—not just acid washing like the DIY kits recommend. We fill any cracks and repair damage so your finished floor looks uniform.
Next comes the moisture mitigation primer. This prevents the peeling and bubbling that kills most garage floor jobs within two years. Then we apply our polyaspartic coating system—thicker and more durable than standard epoxy.
The decorative flakes go down while the base is still tacky, creating that seamless look. Finally, we apply the polyaspartic topcoat that gives you UV resistance and scratch protection. Most jobs are ready for foot traffic in 24 hours, full vehicle use in 72 hours.

This is a complete floor system, not just a coating. You get moisture blocking primer, professional-grade base coat, decorative flakes for texture and slip resistance, and a polyaspartic topcoat that won’t yellow or peel.
Essex Village sits in a climate that tests every coating system. Freezing winters, humid summers, road salt tracked in on boots and tires. Our polyaspartic system handles temperature extremes that would crack standard epoxy. It’s the same technology used in commercial facilities that see forklift traffic daily.
The finished floor is seamless from wall to wall. No grout lines to collect dirt, no seams where moisture can penetrate. Chemical resistant enough to handle automotive fluids, cleaners, and whatever else ends up on a garage floor. And when it needs cleaning, you’re looking at soap, water, and maybe ten minutes with a mop.
Our polyaspartic garage floor coatings are designed to last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance in Connecticut’s climate. Unlike standard epoxy that can yellow, peel, or crack within 2-3 years, our system penetrates deep into the concrete and cures to a flexible, durable finish.
The key difference is in the materials and preparation. We use industrial-grade polyaspartic coatings that resist UV damage, temperature cycling, and chemical exposure. Combined with proper concrete preparation and moisture mitigation, you’re looking at decades of performance rather than years.
Box store kits are water-based, thin coatings that sit on top of concrete. They rely on acid etching for preparation, which doesn’t address the sealers most garage floors have. Within months, you’ll see hot tire pickup, peeling, and wear patterns.
Our system uses diamond grinding to create proper surface profile, moisture-blocking primer to prevent adhesion failure, and thick polyaspartic coatings that penetrate and bond at the molecular level. It’s the difference between paint that sits on top and a coating system that becomes part of your concrete.
The installation process alone tells the story. DIY kits can be applied by anyone in an afternoon. Our system requires professional equipment, certified installers, and typically takes a full day to complete properly.
Yes, our polyaspartic coatings can be installed in temperatures as low as 20°F, making year-round installation possible in Essex Village. Standard epoxy requires temperatures above 50°F and low humidity, which limits installation to just a few months in Connecticut.
This flexibility means you don’t have to wait for perfect weather or plan months ahead. We can typically schedule your installation within 1-2 weeks regardless of season. The garage needs to be heated during application, but once cured, the coating handles temperature extremes without cracking or delaminating.
Winter installation actually has advantages—lower humidity means faster cure times, and you’re not competing with spring and summer scheduling when everyone wants their floors done.
Every concrete floor in Essex Village has some level of staining or damage—oil spots, salt damage, hairline cracks. Our preparation process addresses these issues before any coating goes down. We start with diamond grinding to remove surface contaminants and create proper texture for adhesion.
Cracks get filled with professional-grade repair compounds that cure to the same hardness as surrounding concrete. Oil stains are mechanically removed during grinding rather than just covered up. Any spalling or surface damage gets repaired to create a uniform substrate.
This preparation work is why our coatings last decades instead of years. We’re not just covering problems—we’re fixing them. The finished floor performs as well over damaged areas as it does over pristine concrete.
Practically none. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild soap and water keeps the floor looking new. Unlike unsealed concrete that absorbs stains and requires scrubbing, our coated surface is non-porous and stain-resistant.
Spills wipe up immediately instead of soaking in. Road salt and chemicals from winter driving rinse off with a garden hose. The polyaspartic topcoat is scratch-resistant enough that normal garage use won’t damage it.
No waxing, no resealing, no annual touch-ups. The biggest maintenance task is keeping the floor clean enough that you can actually see how good it looks. Most customers find they use their garage more after coating because it’s finally a space they’re proud of.
Professional garage floor coating typically runs $3-8 per square foot depending on the condition of your concrete and the coating system you choose. For an average 400 square foot garage, you’re looking at $1,200-3,200 for a complete installation.
That includes all preparation work, repairs, primer, base coat, decorative flakes, and topcoat. No hidden fees for crack repair or additional prep work—we give you a complete price upfront. Most customers find the investment pays for itself in reduced maintenance and increased home value.
Compare that to replacing concrete ($8-15 per square foot) or dealing with ongoing staining and deterioration of unprotected floors. Professional coating is typically the most cost-effective solution for transforming your garage floor permanently.
