Your garage becomes a space you’re proud of instead of embarrassed by. No more oil stains soaking into concrete or worrying about spills.
The floor stays clean with just a quick sweep and occasional mop. You can actually park your car without cringing at the mess underneath, or better yet, turn part of your garage into workspace you’ll enjoy using.
Most importantly, you get a floor that lasts 10-20 years instead of needing constant touch-ups or replacement every few years like cheaper alternatives.
American Poly Floor is a veteran-owned business that’s been serving Connecticut homeowners with professional epoxy and polished concrete flooring. We’re not the biggest company around, but we’re the one that shows up on time and does what we say we’ll do.
Our team is trained and certified in the latest Polyurea and Polyaspartic coating systems. We’ve completed thousands of projects across residential and commercial spaces, so we know what works and what doesn’t.
What sets us apart in Mansfield Center is our straightforward approach—no high-pressure sales, no hidden fees, just honest pricing and quality work that stands up to Connecticut’s harsh winters and humid summers.
First, we prepare your concrete properly—this is where most DIY jobs fail. We clean, etch or grind the surface to ensure the epoxy actually bonds instead of peeling off in a few months.
Next, we apply a moisture mitigation primer to prevent future problems, then add the epoxy base coat. For decorative options, we broadcast vinyl flakes or metallic pigments while the epoxy is still tacky.
Finally, we apply a polyaspartic topcoat that provides superior UV and scratch resistance. Most jobs are completed in one day, and you can walk on it after 24 hours. Full cure takes 72 hours before you can park your car on it.

Every epoxy finish garage floor installation includes complete surface preparation, moisture mitigation primer, base epoxy coat, and protective topcoat. You get slip-resistant texture, stain resistance, and UV protection that won’t fade or yellow.
In Mansfield Center, we see a lot of garages that deal with road salt, snow melt, and temperature swings from Connecticut’s weather. Our polyaspartic systems handle these conditions better than standard epoxy because they’re more flexible and chemical-resistant.
You also get our one-year manufacturer’s warranty and detailed maintenance instructions. The floor will handle everything from hot tire pickup to oil drips to ice melt without permanent damage—something bare concrete just can’t do.
Most residential garage floors in Mansfield Center can be completed in one day. We start early morning with surface preparation, which takes 2-3 hours depending on your concrete’s condition.
The actual epoxy application takes another 3-4 hours, including base coat, decorative elements if chosen, and topcoat. You can walk on the floor after 24 hours and park your car after 72 hours when it’s fully cured.
Weather can affect timing slightly—high humidity or very cold temperatures might extend cure times by a day. We’ll let you know if conditions require any adjustments to the schedule.
DIY epoxy kits from big box stores typically use water-based epoxy that lasts 1-3 years before peeling or wearing through. They also don’t include proper surface preparation, which is why most DIY jobs fail within the first year.
Professional installation uses solid or polyaspartic epoxy systems that last 10-20 years. We have the equipment to properly prepare your concrete—grinders, shot blasters, and industrial vacuums that create the surface profile needed for permanent adhesion.
The material cost difference is significant too. Our polyaspartic topcoats cost more than entire DIY kits, but they provide UV resistance, chemical resistance, and flexibility that prevent cracking and peeling.
Professional epoxy finish garage floor installation in Connecticut typically runs $5-$9 per square foot, depending on your concrete’s condition and the system you choose. A standard two-car garage (400-500 square feet) usually costs $2,600-$4,300.
Factors that affect price include surface preparation needs, decorative options like flakes or metallics, and the specific epoxy system. Solid epoxy and polyaspartic systems cost more upfront but last much longer than cheaper alternatives.
We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay, and we include everything needed to complete the job properly.
Yes, properly installed epoxy floors handle Connecticut winters better than bare concrete. Road salt, ice melt, and freeze-thaw cycles actually damage unprotected concrete over time, creating cracks and spalling.
Our polyaspartic topcoat systems are specifically designed for harsh climates. They’re more flexible than standard epoxy, so they move with your concrete during temperature changes without cracking. The chemical resistance also means road salt won’t etch or damage the surface.
You’ll still want to rinse off heavy salt buildup occasionally, but the floor won’t absorb it like concrete does. This prevents the long-term damage that creates potholes and cracks in driveways and garage floors.
Most existing concrete can be restored with proper preparation, even if it’s stained or has minor damage. Oil stains, rust spots, and surface wear don’t prevent epoxy installation—they just require more prep work.
For minor cracks and chips, we fill and level them before applying epoxy. Larger structural issues need to be addressed first, but surface-level problems are routinely handled as part of the installation process.
The key is honest assessment upfront. We’ll inspect your concrete and let you know what’s needed to get a long-lasting result. Sometimes additional prep work is required, but it’s always better than applying epoxy over problems that will show through later.
Maintenance is surprisingly simple—regular sweeping and occasional mopping with warm water handles most situations. For stubborn stains, mild dish soap works well, and you can even use a garden hose if you have water access in your garage.
Avoid soap-based cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can break down the epoxy over time. The non-porous surface means spills sit on top instead of soaking in, so cleanup is usually just wiping with a damp cloth.
Every 5-10 years, you might want to apply a fresh topcoat to maintain the high-gloss appearance, but the floor itself will continue protecting your concrete for decades with basic care.
