Your garage becomes the space you actually want to use. No more concrete dust on your car. No more salt stains every spring. No more avoiding that corner where oil soaked in years ago.
You get a surface that cleans with a garden hose. Spills wipe up instead of soaking in. Your tools stay clean, your storage stays organized, and you might actually start parking inside again.
The difference hits you the moment you pull in. It’s not just about looks—though your neighbors will definitely notice. It’s about having a garage that finally works the way it should.
We’ve been installing epoxy garage floors throughout Connecticut for years. We understand what Hartford winters do to concrete—the salt, the freeze-thaw cycles, the constant moisture that seeps in and causes problems.
We’ve seen every type of garage floor damage this area produces. Spalling from road salt. Cracks from freeze-thaw. Stains that won’t come out no matter what you try.
That’s exactly why we use commercial-grade materials and proven installation methods. Your floor gets the same preparation and coating system we’d use in an industrial facility, because Hartford garages need that level of protection.
We start by diamond-grinding your concrete floor. This isn’t optional—it’s how we remove that weak surface layer and create the profile your epoxy needs to bond permanently. Our grinders connect to dust collection systems, so your garage stays clean.
Next, we fill every crack and imperfection with epoxy patching compound. Even hairline cracks get attention because they’ll only get worse if left alone.
Then comes the coating system. We apply multiple layers of professional-grade epoxy, each one designed to work with the next. The base coat penetrates deep into the concrete. The color coat gives you the look you want. The topcoat provides the protection and durability.
Most installations take two days. Day one is prep and base coat. Day two is finish work. You can walk on it after 24 hours and drive on it after 72 hours.

Your epoxy garage floor coating includes everything needed to handle Hartford’s climate challenges. We use moisture-blocking primers that prevent ground moisture from causing problems later. The topcoat resists chemicals, so road salt won’t eat through it.
The system is designed specifically for Connecticut conditions. Temperature swings don’t crack it. Salt doesn’t penetrate it. Hot tires don’t stick to it or leave marks.
You get decorative flakes for traction and appearance. Custom color options to match your style. A slip-resistant finish for safety. And a coating system that’s 6 times stronger than hardware store epoxy kits.
This isn’t a DIY project that might work. It’s a professional installation with materials designed for commercial use, installed by people who know how to do it right the first time.
Most epoxy garage floor installations in Hartford take two days to complete. Day one involves surface preparation—diamond grinding, crack repair, and applying the base coat. Day two covers the finish coats and decorative elements.
You can walk on the floor after 24 hours, but we recommend waiting 72 hours before driving on it. This curing time ensures the coating reaches full strength and durability.
Weather can affect timing slightly, but our professional-grade materials work in a wider temperature range than DIY products, so we can usually stick to the schedule even during Connecticut’s variable weather.
Yes, professional epoxy coating creates a barrier that prevents road salt from penetrating your concrete. Road salt damage happens when salt and moisture soak into concrete pores, then freeze and expand, causing cracks and spalling.
Our epoxy system seals those pores completely. Salt and moisture stay on the surface where you can rinse them away with a garden hose. The coating resists the chemicals in road salt and de-icing compounds that Hartford uses on winter roads.
Without coating, salt damage accumulates every winter and gets worse over time. With proper epoxy coating, your floor stays protected year after year, even during harsh Connecticut winters.
Professional epoxy garage floor coating in Hartford typically costs between $3-8 per square foot, depending on your floor’s condition and the coating system you choose. A standard two-car garage usually runs $1,800-4,000 for complete professional installation.
This includes surface preparation, crack repair, primer, base coat, decorative flakes, and topcoat. The price reflects commercial-grade materials and professional installation that lasts 15-20 years.
Compare that to replacing damaged concrete or repeatedly applying DIY coatings that fail every few years. Professional installation costs more upfront but saves money long-term through durability and performance.
In most cases, yes. We can repair cracks, fill holes, and address surface damage as part of the installation process. Our diamond grinding removes the damaged surface layer and creates a clean, sound base for the coating.
We use epoxy patching compounds that bond permanently to existing concrete and won’t pop out later. Even floors with significant salt damage or spalling can usually be restored and coated successfully.
However, we always inspect your floor first to determine what repairs are needed and whether coating is the right solution. Some structural issues might require concrete replacement, but that’s rare in residential garages.
Maintenance is simple—that’s one of the main benefits. For regular cleaning, sweep or blow off debris, then rinse with a garden hose. For tougher spots, use a mild cleaner like Simple Green and rinse thoroughly.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the coating. Don’t use vinegar or other acidic cleaners. A soft-bristled brush is fine for stubborn spots, but nothing rougher.
Clean up spills promptly, though the coating resists most automotive fluids and chemicals. During winter, rinse salt and de-icing chemicals off periodically rather than letting them sit. With proper care, your coating will look great for decades.
The difference is in materials, preparation, and durability. Hardware store kits use thin coatings that can’t handle Connecticut’s climate challenges. They often fail within 6-18 months due to poor adhesion or chemical breakdown.
We use commercial-grade epoxy systems that are much thicker and more durable. Our surface preparation involves diamond grinding to create proper adhesion—something you can’t achieve with DIY etching solutions.
Professional installation also means proper mixing ratios, application techniques, and curing conditions. DIY mistakes in any of these areas lead to coating failure. Our systems are designed for 15-20 year performance, not short-term appearance.
