Garage Floors (Epoxy & Coatings)

Your garage floor takes abuse from vehicles, tools, chemicals, and constant traffic. Plain concrete absorbs oil stains, shows tire marks, dusts constantly, and looks dingy no matter how often you sweep. Epoxy coatings solve these problems by sealing the concrete with a tough, attractive surface that resists damage and cleans easily.

Epoxy creates a hard, glossy surface that bonds directly to concrete. It prevents stains from penetrating, stops concrete dusting, and provides a bright, clean appearance. Spills wipe up easily instead of soaking in. The smooth surface makes sweeping and mopping far more effective than bare concrete. Your garage looks better and stays cleaner with less effort.

At Precision Zebulon Concrete, we install professional-grade epoxy floor systems that last for years. We properly prepare the concrete surface, which is critical for coating adhesion, and apply high-quality materials designed for garage use. The result is a durable, attractive floor that handles whatever you put it through.

Epoxy floor coatings provide multiple advantages beyond just appearance. These benefits make epoxy one of the best investments you can make in your garage.

Key Epoxy Floor Advantages:

• •Stain Resistance: Oil, antifreeze, chemicals, and other automotive fluids wipe off easily without staining. The sealed surface prevents penetration into concrete.
• •Easy Cleaning: Smooth, non-porous surface cleans with simple mopping. No more concrete dust or dirt that sticks in porous concrete.
• •Durability: Resists impacts, abrasion, and chemical exposure better than bare concrete. Properly installed epoxy lasts 10 to 20 years with good care.
• •Brightness: Reflective surface bounces light around your garage, making it brighter without adding lights. Lighter colors maximize this effect.
• •Appearance: Transforms dingy concrete into an attractive floor that looks like a professional shop or showroom. Multiple color and flake options available.
• •Protection: Seals and protects the underlying concrete from moisture, salts, and chemicals that can damage concrete over time.

The initial investment in epoxy coating pays back through easier maintenance, longer concrete life, and improved functionality. Most homeowners wish they had done it sooner once they see the results.

Proper surface preparation is the most important part of epoxy installation. The coating only performs as well as its bond to the concrete underneath. We mechanically prepare the floor by grinding or shot blasting to open the concrete pores and create proper surface profile for bonding.

We repair cracks and damage before coating. Epoxy is not a crack filler, it is a coating that goes over sound concrete. Any repairs need to cure properly before we apply the coating system. We also address moisture issues if present, as excessive moisture prevents proper adhesion.

Color options range from solid colors to multi-color flake systems. Flake floors hide imperfections better and provide more visual interest. Solid colors create a clean, uniform look. We can also add decorative elements like color bands or custom logos for special applications.

Topcoat options affect both appearance and performance. Clear polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoats protect the epoxy and add UV resistance. These are especially important for garages with windows or doors that let in sunlight. The topcoat also determines the final level of gloss from satin to high gloss.

Installation typically takes 2 to 3 days including surface prep, coating application, and cure time. The garage must be empty during this period. After installation, you need to stay off the floor for 24 hours and wait 3 to 7 days before parking vehicles, depending on the coating system used.
