Why Long Hill Homeowners Choose Us

We’ve been transforming Connecticut garage floors since 2020, backed by over 30 years of combined experience. We’re not the guys who show up, slap down some coating, and disappear.

We understand Long Hill’s climate challenges. Those humid summers and freezing winters that crack concrete and ruin cheap coatings. That’s why we use industrial-grade materials designed specifically for Connecticut’s weather extremes.

Every project starts with proper moisture evaluation and surface preparation. We grind the concrete to create the profile needed for permanent adhesion. No shortcuts, no corners cut.

How We Actually Get It Done

First, we evaluate your concrete for moisture and surface conditions. This isn’t optional—it’s what separates professional results from DIY disasters.

Next comes surface preparation using diamond grinding equipment. We open up the concrete pores and remove any existing coatings or contaminants. This step takes time, but it’s what makes the difference between a coating that lasts decades versus one that fails in months.

We repair any cracks or spalls, then apply our moisture mitigation primer. The base coat goes down next, followed by decorative flakes if you want them. Finally, we finish with our polyaspartic topcoat for maximum durability and UV protection.

Most residential garage floors are ready for light foot traffic in 8-12 hours, with full vehicle use typically within 24 hours. We’ll give you exact timing based on your specific project.

What's Actually Included In Your Project

Your epoxy finish garage floor project includes complete surface preparation, crack repair, moisture mitigation primer, base coat application, optional decorative flakes, and protective topcoat. We handle everything from initial evaluation to final cleanup.

Long Hill homeowners particularly appreciate our attention to the details that matter in Connecticut. We account for your garage’s specific conditions—whether it’s an older foundation that needs extra moisture protection or a newer build that just needs the right coating system.

The materials we use are specifically chosen for Hartford County’s climate. Hot summers that can soften cheap coatings, freezing winters that cause concrete movement, and everything in between. Your floor needs to handle it all, and ours do.

We also coordinate timing around your schedule. Most homeowners can’t have their garage out of commission for a week. Our efficient process and fast-curing materials mean minimal disruption to your routine.

How long does an epoxy finish garage floor last in Connecticut?

A professionally installed epoxy finish garage floor in Long Hill, CT typically lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance. The key factors are surface preparation quality and the coating system used.

DIY kits from big box stores might last 2-3 years before showing significant wear, peeling, or hot tire pickup issues. Professional installations using industrial-grade materials and proper surface prep techniques deliver dramatically longer life spans.

Connecticut’s climate is particularly hard on garage floors. Temperature swings, road salt, and moisture all take their toll. That’s why we use polyaspartic topcoats and moisture mitigation primers—they’re specifically designed to handle these challenges.

Epoxy provides the base durability and chemical resistance, while polyaspartic serves as the protective topcoat. Most professional installations use both materials in a complete system.

Polyaspartic cures much faster than traditional epoxy—often ready for foot traffic in hours instead of days. It also provides better UV stability, so your floor won’t yellow from sunlight exposure through garage windows.

The combination gives you the best of both worlds: epoxy’s proven durability and chemical resistance with polyaspartic’s fast cure time and superior protection. This is why we use both materials in our Long Hill, CT installations rather than relying on just one coating type.

Sometimes, but proper evaluation is critical. If the existing coating is well-bonded and compatible, we can work with it. If it’s failing, peeling, or incompatible, complete removal is necessary.

Most DIY epoxy jobs need to be completely removed before professional installation. These coatings often have poor adhesion and will cause new coatings to fail. We use specialized grinding equipment to remove old coatings and create the proper surface profile.

The evaluation process includes adhesion testing and moisture assessment. We’ll tell you exactly what needs to be done during our initial consultation. Sometimes removal adds time and cost, but it’s the only way to guarantee long-term results in Long Hill’s climate conditions.

Surface preparation is the most critical part of any successful epoxy installation. We start with diamond grinding to open the concrete pores and create the mechanical bond needed for permanent adhesion.

All cracks get properly repaired using appropriate materials—not just filled with caulk. Oil stains require special treatment to prevent bleed-through. Any existing coatings that aren’t compatible get completely removed.

Moisture testing comes next. Connecticut’s humidity and ground conditions can create moisture issues that will destroy even the best coatings. We use moisture mitigation primers when needed and won’t proceed until conditions are right. This preparation work takes time, but it’s what separates professional results from failures.

Maintenance is surprisingly simple with a properly installed epoxy finish garage floor. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild detergent handles most cleaning needs.

Spills wipe up easily—oil, antifreeze, even paint comes off without staining. The seamless surface means no dirt or debris gets trapped in cracks or joints. Most Long Hill homeowners find their garage floors easier to maintain than their kitchen floors.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish. A soft bristle broom and standard floor cleaner are all you need. The polyaspartic topcoat we use resists most chemicals and maintains its gloss for years with minimal care.

Professional epoxy finish garage floor installation in Long Hill, CT typically ranges from $3-8 per square foot, depending on the specific coating system, surface conditions, and decorative options chosen.

A standard two-car garage (400 square feet) usually runs $1,200-3,200 for complete professional installation. This includes surface preparation, materials, labor, and cleanup. Additional costs may apply for extensive crack repair or removal of existing coatings.

The investment makes sense when you consider the longevity difference. Professional installations last 15-20 years versus 2-3 years for DIY options. When you factor in the time, effort, and repeated costs of DIY failures, professional installation delivers better value and guaranteed results.
