Your garage stops being that embarrassing space you avoid opening the door to. Instead, it becomes a clean, professional-looking area that handles everything you throw at it.
The cracked, stained concrete that collected dust and made every spill a permanent mark? Gone. What you get is a seamless, chemical-resistant surface that lets automotive fluids wipe away with a simple cloth.
Your floor becomes the kind of surface that actually makes your car look better just by parking on it. And here in Thompsonville, where winter brings salt, moisture, and all the elements that destroy bare concrete, you finally have a floor that fights back instead of surrendering.
We’ve built our reputation on one simple principle: your garage floor should work as hard as you do. Our team brings certified expertise in Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings to every Thompsonville project.
We understand what Connecticut garages face. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack concrete. The road salt that eats away at surfaces. The automotive fluids that create permanent stains on untreated floors.
That’s why we don’t cut corners on materials or preparation. Every installation uses top-quality products from trusted manufacturers, applied by technicians who know the difference between a coating that looks good today and one that performs for decades.
First, we prepare your concrete properly. Not the basic acid wash that DIY kits recommend, but professional diamond grinding that creates the surface profile needed for permanent adhesion. We repair cracks and level uneven areas.
Next comes our moisture mitigation primer. This isn’t optional in Connecticut’s climate – it’s what prevents your coating from peeling years down the road when other installations fail.
Then we apply your chosen system. Whether it’s our signature Polyaspartic Epoxy Flake Flooring with decorative chips, metallic epoxy for that unique depth and dimension, or solid color systems, each layer is applied with precision timing and technique.
Finally, we finish with a polyaspartic topcoat that provides superior UV and scratch resistance. By the time we pack up, you have a floor that’s ready for foot traffic in hours, not days.

Every installation we complete includes professional surface preparation that most companies skip. We diamond grind your concrete to create the mechanical bond that keeps coatings attached permanently, not just until the first hot summer day.
Our Polyaspartic Epoxy Flake systems handle Thompsonville’s climate extremes. The decorative vinyl flakes add texture and visual interest while the polyaspartic topcoat resists UV damage, chemical stains, and the thermal cycling that causes other coatings to fail.
For Thompsonville homeowners who want something unique, our metallic epoxy systems create floors that look like polished stone or flowing water. Each installation is one-of-a-kind because the metallic pigments react differently every time.
The difference shows in durability. While DIY coatings might last a few years before chipping or peeling, our professional installations are designed to perform for decades without requiring maintenance or reapplication.
Professional epoxy garage floor coatings installed with proper preparation typically last 15-20 years in Connecticut’s climate. The key is using commercial-grade materials and professional surface preparation.
DIY kits from big box stores often fail within 2-3 years because they use water-based formulations that create thin, weak coatings. Our 100% solids epoxy systems with polyaspartic topcoats are specifically designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, road salt exposure, and temperature extremes.
The longevity depends heavily on preparation. We diamond grind the concrete and apply moisture mitigation primers that prevent the adhesion failures that cause peeling and chipping in cheaper installations.
Polyaspartic coatings cure faster and perform better than traditional epoxy, especially in Connecticut’s variable climate. While epoxy takes 2-3 days to fully cure, polyaspartic systems are ready for vehicle traffic in 24 hours.
Polyaspartic also maintains flexibility as it ages, which prevents the brittleness that causes epoxy to crack when concrete shifts. It has superior UV resistance, so it won’t yellow or fade even in garages with lots of natural light.
For temperature performance, polyaspartic handles both hot tire pickup and cold weather better than epoxy. In Thompsonville’s climate, where we see everything from sub-zero winters to 90-degree summers, that flexibility matters for long-term performance.
Yes, but proper repair work is essential for a lasting installation. We routinely work with cracked, pitted, and stained concrete floors throughout Thompsonville.
First, we assess the damage. Minor cracks get filled with professional-grade materials that bond permanently with both the existing concrete and new coating. For larger cracks or settlement issues, we may need to grind out damaged areas and rebuild with epoxy underlayment.
The key is creating a uniform surface before coating application. Surface imperfections that aren’t properly addressed will telegraph through the coating and eventually cause failure. That’s why we spend the time on preparation that many contractors skip.
Professional preparation starts with diamond grinding the entire floor surface. This removes any existing sealers, opens the concrete’s pores, and creates the mechanical profile needed for permanent adhesion.
We then vacuum all dust and debris using commercial equipment. Any cracks, pits, or low spots get filled with appropriate repair materials and allowed to cure properly.
Finally, we apply a moisture mitigation primer. This step is crucial in Connecticut because it prevents moisture vapor from causing coating failure months or years later. Most DIY installations skip this step entirely, which is why they often fail prematurely.
Properly installed epoxy garage floors require minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping or dust mopping keeps them looking their best, and occasional damp mopping with mild detergent handles any spills or stains.
The chemical resistance means automotive fluids like oil, brake fluid, and antifreeze wipe up easily without staining. Even aggressive chemicals used for car maintenance won’t damage the surface.
Unlike bare concrete that requires periodic sealing, or painted floors that need regular repainting, professional epoxy coatings maintain their appearance and protection for decades without additional treatment. The polyaspartic topcoat we use is specifically formulated to resist wear and maintain its gloss.
Professional garage floor coating costs vary based on square footage, surface condition, and coating system selected. A typical two-car garage ranges from $1,200 to $3,000 depending on these factors.
While this represents a higher upfront investment than DIY options, the long-term value is significantly better. Professional installations last 15-20 years compared to 2-3 years for DIY coatings, making the cost per year much lower.
The investment also adds value to your home. Real estate professionals consistently note that quality garage improvements, especially flooring, appeal to buyers and can increase property values. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific garage and discussing your preferences.
