You walk into your garage and actually feel good about it. No more stained concrete that soaks up every oil drip. No more wondering if that cheap coating will peel off with your tires next winter.
Your new floor shrugs off motor oil, gasoline, and road salt like they’re nothing. Spills wipe clean without leaving a trace. The surface stays smooth and safe underfoot, even when wet.
The light bounces off the finish, making your garage brighter and easier to work in. You can actually see what you’re doing without squinting into dark corners.
We’ve been transforming Connecticut garages for years. We’re a veteran-owned business that understands what Tolland County homeowners face every winter.
Your garage takes a beating from road salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and whatever projects you’re working on. We’ve seen it all in Mansfield Center – from historic homes with original concrete to newer builds that need protection from day one.
We’re certified in polyurea and polyaspartic coatings, not just basic epoxy. That means we can offer you options that cure faster and last longer than what most contractors provide.
First, we properly prepare your concrete. This isn’t a quick acid wash – we diamond grind the surface to create the profile your coating needs to bond permanently. We fill any cracks and clean everything thoroughly.
Next comes the moisture mitigation primer. This prevents the peeling issues you see with cheaper installations. Then we apply your chosen coating system – whether that’s our signature polyaspartic flake system or a solid color finish.
Finally, we add the protective topcoat. This is what gives you the chemical resistance and durability you actually need. Most jobs are walkable in 24 hours, ready for vehicles in 72 hours.

Your installation includes professional-grade materials designed for Connecticut’s climate. We use 100% solids coatings, not the water-based products that fail after a few seasons.
In Mansfield Center, we see a lot of garages that serve double duty – workshop, storage, and sometimes even entertaining space. Our coatings handle it all. They resist chemicals, provide slip resistance, and clean up easily.
The finish we install reflects light better than bare concrete, making your space more functional. You’ll notice the difference immediately, especially during those short winter days when every bit of light matters.
Professional polyaspartic and epoxy coatings typically last 15-20 years in Connecticut’s challenging climate. The key is proper installation and using commercial-grade materials that can handle freeze-thaw cycles.
Road salt is particularly tough on floors, but our coatings are specifically formulated to resist chemical damage. We’ve seen properly installed floors in Tolland County that still look great after a decade of harsh winters.
The longevity really comes down to the preparation and materials. That’s why we diamond grind the concrete and use moisture mitigation primers – shortcuts lead to premature failure.
You can walk on most of our coatings within 24 hours, but vehicles need to wait 72 hours for full cure. This timing is crucial – rushing it can damage the coating permanently.
Temperature affects cure time. In Connecticut winters, we may recommend waiting an extra day if it’s particularly cold in your garage. Summer installations often cure faster.
We’ll give you specific timing based on the coating system we install and current conditions. It’s worth waiting to protect your investment.
Store-bought kits are typically 50% or more water-based, which means they cure to a thin, weak coating. They’re designed for easy application, not durability.
Our commercial coatings are 100% solids. They cure thicker, harder, and bond much better to concrete. The difference in chemical resistance alone is dramatic – our coatings handle gasoline and motor oil without staining.
Professional installation also matters. We have the equipment to properly prepare your concrete, which is critical for long-term adhesion. DIY surface prep rarely creates the profile needed for permanent bonding.
Not with proper installation. We can add texture to any coating system to improve traction. Our flake systems naturally provide slip resistance through the decorative chips embedded in the surface.
For areas that see a lot of water – like near garage doors where snow melts off vehicles – we often recommend additional anti-slip additives. The goal is a floor that’s safe in all conditions.
The smooth finish actually helps with safety in another way. Unlike rough concrete that hides spills, you can see and clean up liquids immediately on a coated floor.
Diamond grinding removes surface contamination and opens up the concrete pores for proper bonding. This process eliminates most stains and creates a uniform surface profile.
For cracks, we use professional-grade repair compounds that bond with both the concrete and the coating system. This prevents the cracks from telegraphing through and causing premature failure.
Oil stains require special attention. We have degreasers and etching compounds specifically designed to remove petroleum contamination from concrete. Surface preparation is where most failures start, so we don’t cut corners here.
Maintenance is minimal – that’s one of the main benefits. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild detergent keeps the floor looking new.
For tougher stains, a soft-bristled brush and degreaser will handle most anything. Avoid harsh abrasives that can dull the finish over time.
The coating’s chemical resistance means most spills wipe up easily. Even if you forget about an oil leak for days, it typically cleans off without staining the floor underneath.
