Your garage becomes the space you always wanted it to be. No more embarrassing stains when neighbors walk by. No more dust tracking into your house every time you grab something from storage.
The concrete stops deteriorating under your cars. Oil spills wipe up with a paper towel instead of becoming permanent reminders of that time you forgot to tighten the drain plug. Winter salt and slush rinse away instead of eating into your floor.
You get decades of protection that looks as good on year fifteen as it did on day one. That’s what happens when you stop treating your garage floor like an afterthought.
We’ve been protecting Connecticut garage floors since 2020, and we’ve learned what works in our climate. Broad Brook’s freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and humidity demand coatings that can handle real conditions, not laboratory tests.
We’re BBB Accredited with an A+ rating because we do the work right the first time. Our owners have over 30 years of combined experience, and we’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on surface prep or use cheap materials.
Every job gets 100% solids commercial-grade epoxy, not the watered-down stuff from big box stores. We’re locally owned, so your neighbor’s recommendation actually means something to us.
We start with diamond grinding your concrete to create the profile our coating needs to bond properly. Acid etching sounds easier, but it’s not aggressive enough for a coating that needs to last twenty years.
Next comes crack and pit repair using professional-grade materials. Your floor needs to be uniform before we apply anything, or you’ll see every imperfection through the coating.
Then we do a commercial-level cleaning to remove every trace of dust, debris, and fluids. The primer goes down first, followed by your chosen color and decorative flakes if you want them. Finally, the polyaspartic topcoat that gives you that showroom shine and protects everything underneath.
You can walk on it in 24 hours and park your car in 72. That’s it – decades of protection installed in a day.

Your garage floor coating includes diamond grinding, crack repair, commercial cleaning, primer, base coat, decorative flakes (if selected), and polyaspartic topcoat. Every step uses commercial-grade materials designed for Connecticut’s climate.
In Broad Brook, we see a lot of homes built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s with original concrete that’s never been protected. These floors have absorbed decades of automotive fluids, road salt, and freeze-thaw damage. The good news is that proper surface preparation can restore even badly deteriorated concrete to like-new condition.
We use polyaspartic topcoats instead of standard epoxy because they cure faster and resist UV damage better. This matters in Connecticut where your garage door stays open and sunlight hits the floor. Polyaspartic also handles hot tire pickup better than epoxy, so you won’t get tire marks on your new floor.
Professional-grade epoxy coatings last 15-20 years in Connecticut’s climate when installed correctly. The key is using 100% solids commercial coatings instead of water-based DIY products that fail within 2-3 years.
Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles and road salt are hard on concrete, but proper epoxy coating actually protects your concrete from this damage. We see floors we installed years ago that still look great because we use the right materials and preparation methods.
DIY kits from big box stores typically last 1-3 years because they’re 50% or more water-based to make them easier to apply. When the water evaporates, you’re left with a thin coating that can’t handle real-world conditions.
Yes, properly applied epoxy coating makes your garage floor completely stain-resistant to automotive fluids. Oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, and gasoline wipe up with a paper towel instead of soaking into the concrete.
The coating creates a non-porous barrier that prevents liquids from penetrating the concrete. This is especially important in Connecticut where road salt mixed with automotive fluids can cause serious concrete deterioration over time.
Even if you spill something and don’t clean it up immediately, it won’t stain the coating. We’ve seen floors where someone left a puddle of oil for weeks, and it still cleaned up completely with just soap and water.
We diamond grind the entire floor to create the surface profile the epoxy needs for proper adhesion. This is more aggressive than acid etching but necessary for a coating that needs to last decades.
All cracks and pits get filled with professional-grade repair compounds to ensure a uniform appearance. Then we do a commercial-level cleaning to remove all dust, debris, and any fluids that could interfere with bonding.
Surface preparation is where most DIY jobs and cheap contractors fail. Without proper grinding and cleaning, the coating will delaminate within a few years. We spend a full day on prep work because it’s the foundation of everything else.
Existing paint must be completely removed before installing epoxy coating. Paint creates a weak layer between the concrete and epoxy that will cause the entire system to fail.
We use diamond grinding to remove all existing coatings down to bare concrete. This also creates the surface profile needed for proper epoxy adhesion. Trying to coat over paint is like building a house on sand – it might look good initially but won’t last.
Some contractors will tell you they can coat over existing paint to save money, but this always leads to problems. The coating will start peeling within 6-12 months, and you’ll need to start over with proper surface preparation.
Polyaspartic coatings are more durable and UV-resistant than standard epoxy. They cure faster, resist hot tire pickup better, and maintain their appearance longer in Connecticut’s climate.
Standard epoxy can yellow over time when exposed to sunlight and may soften under hot tires in summer. Polyaspartic maintains its color and hardness regardless of temperature or UV exposure.
We use a hybrid system with epoxy primer for maximum adhesion and polyaspartic topcoat for superior protection and appearance. This gives you the best of both technologies – strong bonding with long-term durability and UV resistance.
Professional garage floor coating typically costs $3-8 per square foot depending on the condition of your existing concrete and the coating system you choose. Most two-car garages in Broad Brook run $1,200-2,400 for complete installation.
The investment pays for itself over time because you won’t need to reapply the coating for 15-20 years. Compare this to garage floor paint that needs reapplication every 2-3 years, and professional coating is actually more economical long-term.
We provide free estimates that include surface evaluation, so you know exactly what your floor needs and what it will cost. No surprises, no pressure – just honest pricing for work that’s done right the first time.
