Our team is certified in advanced coating systems, and we show up when we say we will. You’re not just getting a floor coating; you’re getting peace of mind from people who understand what quality work looks like.

Epoxy Garage Floor Installation New London

The Process That Makes All The Difference

We start with thorough concrete preparation—diamond grinding the surface to ensure proper adhesion. This isn’t optional. Poor prep is why most DIY and budget coatings fail within a year.

Next comes moisture mitigation primer if needed. Connecticut’s coastal location means moisture issues are real, and we address them upfront rather than hoping they won’t matter later.

Then we apply our base coat system—either high-performance epoxy or polyaspartic, depending on your specific needs. We add decorative flakes if you want them, creating texture and hiding minor imperfections.

Finally, we finish with a polyaspartic topcoat that provides superior UV protection and scratch resistance. Most installations cure quickly enough that you can walk on them within 24 hours and park on them within 72 hours.

What You Get Beyond Just Coating

Your epoxy finish garage floor coating includes complete surface preparation, moisture testing, primer application where needed, base coat system, optional decorative elements, and protective topcoat. We handle everything from moving items out of the way to final cleanup.

New London homeowners face specific challenges other areas don’t. The salt air from Long Island Sound, temperature swings that stress concrete, and moisture that seeps up through slabs. Our coating systems are selected specifically for these conditions.

We use materials that resist the chemical deicers used on Connecticut roads, handle the thermal expansion and contraction from seasonal temperature changes, and create a barrier against moisture vapor transmission. This isn’t one-size-fits-all flooring—it’s engineered for where you live.

The result is a floor that performs in New London’s climate while looking sharp enough that you’ll actually want to show it off to neighbors.

How long does epoxy finish garage floor coating last in Connecticut weather?

Professional-grade epoxy finish garage floor coatings with polyaspartic topcoats typically last 15-20 years in Connecticut’s climate when properly installed. The key is using materials engineered for freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture conditions.

DIY epoxy kits often fail within 2-3 years because they’re not designed for Connecticut’s temperature swings and moisture levels. Our polyaspartic topcoat system provides superior UV resistance and flexibility, preventing the cracking and peeling common with standard epoxy.

We’ve seen properly installed systems in New London area homes that still look excellent after a decade of use, including exposure to road salt, hot tires, and everything else Connecticut weather delivers.

Polyaspartic coatings cure faster, resist UV damage better, and handle temperature extremes more effectively than traditional epoxy. For Connecticut homeowners, this means your floor won’t yellow from sunlight exposure and won’t become brittle during cold winters.

Epoxy works well as a base coat but requires a protective topcoat in our climate. Polyaspartic can serve as both base and topcoat, creating a more durable system overall. It also cures in hours rather than days, meaning less disruption to your routine.

The main trade-off is cost—polyaspartic systems cost more upfront but typically outlast epoxy-only systems by years. For most New London homeowners, the extra durability and faster installation make it worth the investment.

Minor cracks and surface imperfections can usually be addressed during installation, but significant structural issues need repair first. We evaluate every floor before starting and let you know exactly what needs attention.

Small cracks get filled and sealed as part of our prep process. Surface spalling or scaling gets ground smooth. Oil stains are treated with specialized cleaners and etching compounds to ensure proper adhesion.

However, if your concrete has major settlement cracks, heaving, or structural damage, those issues need professional concrete repair before coating. We’ll be honest about what we can handle and what requires a concrete contractor first—it’s better to do it right than to warranty a coating over a failing foundation.

Older concrete in New London often requires extra preparation due to decades of oil penetration, previous coatings, and surface wear. We start with diamond grinding to remove contaminants and create the proper surface profile for adhesion.

Oil stains get treated with specialized degreasers and etching compounds. Any previous coatings or sealers are mechanically removed—chemical strippers rarely work completely and can interfere with new coatings.

We also test for moisture issues, which are common in older homes near the coast. If moisture vapor transmission is detected, we apply specialized primers designed to handle it. This extra prep work is why professional installations last while DIY attempts often fail within months.

Properly installed epoxy finish garage floors with polyaspartic topcoats require minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild detergent is usually sufficient to keep them looking excellent.

For tougher stains, you can use degreasers or even pressure washing without damaging the coating. The seamless surface means no grout lines or seams where dirt can accumulate, making cleaning much easier than other flooring options.

The only real maintenance concern is avoiding damage from sharp metal objects being dragged across the surface. While our coatings resist most impacts and abrasion, they’re not indestructible. Treat them reasonably well and they’ll look great for decades.

Professional epoxy finish garage floor coating in New London typically ranges from $3-8 per square foot depending on the specific system, surface preparation required, and decorative options chosen. Most two-car garages fall between $1,200-2,400 for complete installation.

The wide price range reflects differences in materials and preparation. Basic epoxy with minimal prep costs less but may not last as long in Connecticut’s climate. Premium polyaspartic systems with full surface preparation cost more upfront but typically provide better long-term value.

We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific floor conditions. Factors like oil stain treatment, crack repair, and moisture mitigation can affect pricing, but we explain exactly what’s included so you understand what you’re paying for.
