How it works

Our Epoxy & Concrete Flooring Process

Scroll through each step from assessment to final cure. The progress rail on the right shows where you are.

  1. 1

    On-Site Assessment & Quote

    Assessment on site

    We inspect your concrete (age, hardness, previous coatings), check moisture, and confirm the right system for your space.

    • Moisture & vapor checks (when needed)
    • Concrete hardness/CSP target
    • Repair plan & movement joints review
  2. 2

    Mechanical Prep (CSP 2–3)

    Grinding / Mechanical prep

    We mechanically profile the slab with industrial grinders and vacuum extraction for the best possible bond.

    • Diamond grinding / shot-blasting per area
    • Dust-managed HEPA extraction
    • Edges, stem walls, and tight spots handled
  3. 3

    Repairs & Joint Work

    Crack repair & joints

    Cracks, spalls, and divots are repaired with fast-set materials; control joints are honored or filled per spec.

    • Structural cracks evaluated & stitched when required
    • Polyurea/epoxy patching & reprofiling
    • Optional joint fill for smooth finish
  4. 4

    Prime/Base Coat

    Primer / base coat

    A high-solids primer or base epoxy is applied for deep penetration and adhesion.

    • Pigmented moisture-tolerant options available
    • Wet-out of repairs for seamless look
    • Uniform film build per manufacturer spec
  5. 5

    Broadcast (Flake/Quartz/Metallic)

    Broadcast flake/quartz/metallic

    Decorative media is broadcast to full rejection (flake/quartz) or poured/feathered (metallic) for your chosen look.

    • Full-chip flake systems (most garages)
    • Quartz for aggressive traction
    • Metallic epoxy for showroom swirls
  6. 6

    Scrape, Vac & Detail

    Scrape & vac

    After cure, excess media is scraped and vacuumed. We detail edges so the surface is flat and consistent.

    • Two-direction scrape
    • Fine vacuum & edge touch-ups
    • Tack pass to remove fines
  7. 7

    UV-Stable Topcoat

    Topcoat

    Clear urethane or polyaspartic topcoat for chemical and abrasion resistance. Gloss/satin options available.

    • Single or double topcoat per use case
    • Added traction additive if desired
    • UV-stable chemistry for color holdout
  8. 8

    Cure & Turnover

    Cure & turnover

    Walk-on typically 24 hours; vehicle traffic 72 hours (system & weather dependent). Care guide included.

    • Blue-tape boundaries & signage
    • Final walkthrough & punch list
    • Maintenance tips for long-term performance

Typical Timeline

  • 1 day: Standard garage flake system (prep + broadcast + topcoat)
  • 2–3 days: Repairs, moisture mitigation, or larger footage
  • Cure windows: Light foot traffic ~24 hrs; vehicles ~72 hrs (weather/system dependent)

System Options

  • Full-Flake Epoxy
    Durable, slip-resistant, hides dirt.
  • Quartz Broadcast
    Max traction & chemical resistance.
  • Metallic Epoxy
    Showroom finish, flowing pigments.

*Timelines vary by temperature, humidity, and chosen system.
