Project description
My garage floor is old bare concrete that has taken a beating over the years. There are several cracks running across the slab, along with stubborn oil and rust stains that scrubbing never manages to lift. The surface is also starting to dust and pit, so no matter how often I sweep or mop, the garage never actually looks clean.
I am looking for a contractor who can properly prepare the concrete, repair the cracks, and apply a full epoxy coating system that will hold up to daily foot traffic, parked vehicles, and the occasional dropped tool. I want the finished floor to look clean and modern, wipe down easily, and resist future staining from oil, coolant, and the salt and grit that gets tracked in during winter. This is a single-car garage of roughly 400 square feet, so the scope is manageable, but I want it done correctly the first time rather than a quick coating that peels or bubbles within a year.
Please describe your surface preparation process (grinding or acid etching), how you approach crack repair, which epoxy system you would use (solid color, flake, or metallic), the expected drying and cure time before the garage can be used again, and whether you back the work with any warranty on adhesion or durability. Photos of similar garage floors you have completed would be very helpful when I compare bids.
— Grind or properly profile the existing concrete before coating
— Fill and repair all visible cracks so they do not show through the finish
— Apply a two-part epoxy base coat with a durable protective topcoat
— Clean up all dust and debris and leave the garage ready to use
— Provide a written estimate of drying and cure time before vehicles return
