Your garage floor takes a beating. Between the road salt tracked in during Rockville winters, oil drips, and constant foot traffic, that bare concrete doesn’t stand a chance.
Extreme temperature fluctuations, which are quite common in Tolland County, can lead to spalling, and snow, ice and salt on your vehicle can erode your concrete floors. When mixed with water, salt will slowly seep into your concrete floor and form crystals that cause white stains to appear and damage the top layer as they expand.
With professional epoxy garage floor coating, you get a surface that shrugs off everything Connecticut weather throws at it. Garage floor epoxy is resistant to chemicals, dirt, moisture, and salts, making it ideal for people in Connecticut when winter comes. No more permanent stains, no more cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, and no more sweeping concrete dust every week.
American Poly Concrete Floor Refinishing is a veteran-owned small business serving all of Connecticut, specializing in high-performance epoxy and polished concrete flooring for residential and commercial spaces.
We’ve seen what Connecticut winters do to unprotected garage floors in Rockville. That’s why we don’t mess around with cheap solutions or shortcuts. Our team is highly trained and certified in Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings, and we back our commitment with a 15-year residential warranty.
When your neighbors in Rockville are dealing with cracked, stained concrete, you’ll have a floor that looks as good as the day we installed it. We understand the local climate challenges and use materials specifically chosen to handle everything from road salt to hot tire pickup.
We start with proper surface preparation because that’s where most DIY jobs fail. Instead of acid etching the concrete like most homeowners typically do when trying a DIY product, we spend hours grinding the concrete so that it becomes porous and clean to create a strong bond.
Next, we apply our primer system that creates an unbreakable bond with your concrete. Then comes the epoxy base coat, followed by decorative flakes if you want them, and finally our polyaspartic topcoat that provides superior UV and chemical resistance.
In many cases, we can complete the entire transformation in just one day, minimizing disruption to your daily routine. About 24 hours after installation, your garage floors will be able to handle foot traffic, and 72 hours later when the epoxy is fully dry, you can park your car back in your garage.

When you coat your Connecticut garage floor with epoxy, you’ll be saving money in the long run because garage floor epoxy is so durable, you probably won’t have to reapply it for twenty years or so.
Our epoxy garage floor coating systems are specifically chosen for Rockville’s climate. Epoxy coatings are tough enough to prevent any snowmelt or deicing products from doing damage to your floor, though they can’t be installed in temperatures colder than 50 degrees, so they’re best applied during warmer months in preparation for winter.
The result is a seamless, non-porous surface that won’t absorb moisture, won’t stain from automotive fluids, and won’t crack from temperature changes. One of the significant advantages of epoxy-coated garage floors is their low maintenance requirements – the smooth surface makes cleaning spills and debris a breeze, making it an ideal choice for busy homeowners.
Professional epoxy garage floor coating typically lasts twenty years or more when properly installed. The key is using commercial-grade materials and proper installation techniques.
We back our work with a 15-year residential warranty, giving you confidence in the longevity of your investment. Unlike DIY kits that may fail within a few years, our professional-grade systems are designed to withstand Connecticut’s harsh climate conditions, including freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and heavy traffic.
The actual lifespan depends on usage and maintenance, but most of our Rockville customers see their floors looking great well beyond the warranty period with minimal care required.
Absolutely. One of the best things about garage floor epoxy coating is that it can stand up to all the elements – it’s resistant to chemicals, dirt, moisture, and salts, making it ideal for people in Connecticut when winter comes.
Extreme temperature fluctuations, which are quite common in Tolland County, can lead to spalling in unprotected concrete, but epoxy creates a protective barrier. Road salt, which is a major problem for bare concrete in Rockville, simply wipes away from an epoxy-coated surface without causing damage.
Our polyaspartic topcoat provides additional protection against UV rays and temperature extremes, ensuring your floor maintains its appearance and integrity through multiple winter seasons.
The average big-box-store kit is usually water-based, with manufacturers using this formula to extend pot life and make it easier for consumers. Most DIY kits are 50% or more water-based, leaving you with a very thin coating that can take up to a week to cure.
Commercial epoxy floor coatings contain 100% solids and require experienced installers, but the results are worth it – you get a nice, thick coating that will withstand the test of time. Professional surface preparation is equally important. We spend hours grinding the concrete so it becomes porous and clean to create a strong bond, while DIY attempts usually rely on inadequate acid etching.
The result is a floor that lasts decades versus one that may start peeling within a few years.
Our epoxy coatings are stain-resistant, including oil stains, so you won’t have to stress if you work on cars in your garage. A bit of water and maybe some dish soap can clean most floor stains, no chemicals necessary.
For regular maintenance, simply sweep or dust mop to remove debris, then damp mop with warm water as needed. Your epoxy flooring can be easily cleaned with mild liquid detergents, hosed down, or dust mopped – grease, oils and most chemicals will not stain or mark the floor at all.
The non-porous surface means spills stay on top rather than soaking in, making cleanup quick and easy. This low-maintenance approach is one of the biggest advantages for busy Rockville homeowners who want a great-looking garage without the constant upkeep.
Not at all! Our epoxy flooring has a textured finish to provide superior traction and significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls. We can adjust the texture level based on your specific needs and preferences.
The texture of our epoxy floors prevents both slips and falls, which is especially important in Rockville where wet conditions from snow and ice are common during winter months. The anti-slip properties are built into the coating system, not just added on top, so they won’t wear away over time.
This makes our epoxy floors actually safer than bare concrete, which can become very slippery when wet or when automotive fluids are spilled on the surface.
Yes, in most cases we can repair existing damage as part of the installation process. We fill cracks and pits using professional-grade materials to ensure a uniform look when the job is done, following thorough commercial cleaning to ensure the floor is free of any dust, debris, or fluids.
Minor cracks, small holes, and surface imperfections are routinely addressed during our preparation process. However, severely damaged concrete may require more extensive repair work before coating application. We’ll assess your specific situation during our free consultation and provide honest recommendations.
Epoxy can be applied over most existing concrete surfaces, and our team ensures thorough surface preparation, including cleaning, repairs, and priming, for maximum adhesion. The goal is a smooth, uniform surface that will provide decades of reliable performance.
