Solid color or flake, epoxy build
We grind and prep on day one. Base coat and broadcast, then a clear top coat once it has cured. You walk on it first and park on it noticeably later, and the gap between those two is where most damage happens.

How big is your floor and how long are you without it?
Two numbers give you the square footage, which is what every quote starts from and which band your rate falls in. Below that is what actually decides your downtime, because when you can park on it depends on the system rather than on the size.

Garage Floor Square Footage Calculator
Length times width. It does not need to be exact, and a rough number from you is far more use to us in a first conversation than none.
When can I park on it again?
The question we get asked most, and the answer is about the system rather than the size of your floor. Walking on it always comes well before parking on it.
With a polyaspartic top coat
The same preparation, then coats we can recoat in hours rather than overnight. That is what makes your short shutdown possible, and it is why a shop that cannot lose trading days pays for it.
Quartz and heavier builds
More material, more coats, longer. On your commercial floor we usually plan it in sections so part of the space keeps working.
Cold weather
Cure times stretch as the temperature drops, and epoxy gets unreliable before polyaspartic does. In a Connecticut November that is the difference between your job happening and waiting for spring.
Epoxy Floor Cure Time and Hot Tire Pickup
Putting your car back too early is the single most common way a good new floor gets damaged.
Hot tires are the risk
A warm tire sitting on a coating that has not fully cured can soften and lift it. That is the failure you hear described as a floor peeling.
Brad gives you both dates
Walk-on and drive-on, at the quote, for the system you have chosen and the weather that week. They are not the same date and the difference is worth writing down.
Measuring a Floor Properly
Two numbers, and a few things we see catch people out.
Measure the concrete, not the building
Measure your slab inside, wall to wall. Exterior measurements include the walls and overstate your floor.
Odd shapes split into rectangles
An L-shaped floor is two rectangles you add together. So is a garage with a bump-out for a workbench.
Do not subtract for obstacles
Your shelving, your freezer and your workbench are all moving out before the day, and we still coat the slab under them.
Include the apron if you want it done
The slab outside your door is a separate decision, and we put a UV-stable top coat on it because it is outdoors.
Typical Garage Sizes in Connecticut Housing
For sanity-checking your measurement rather than replacing it.
Single garages
If you have an older single garage, common in the pre-war shoreline towns, it often runs around 12 by 20 to 12 by 24 feet.
Two-car garages
Yours is commonly around 20 by 20 to 22 by 24 feet if the house is post-war or later.
Three-car and oversized
More common in Trumbull, Fairfield and newer developments, and large enough that you should check which rate band it falls in.
Why yours will differ
Bump-outs for workbenches, stair enclosures and utility corners all change the number you give us. Measure it.
Using Your Square Footage
What the number is actually for once you have it.
Finding your rate band
Larger floors cost less per square foot. Brad works out where yours falls once the area is measured.
Filling in the quote form
Give us the number and you save a question, and our first conversation is more useful to you.
Checking whether the minimum applies
If yours is small it falls under our minimum job rather than the square foot rate.
Comparing quotes fairly
Two contractors quoting your floor should be quoting the same area. Knowing it yourself is a useful check on both of us.
How big is your floor?
Slide to your size and see what fits it. Brad gives you the exact number when he's seen the slab.

What we'd suggestFlake, solid color or metallic
What we put downWe grind your slab, then primer, a color or flake coat and the top coat
Install timeMost residential floors are finished in a day.
What you get with Atlas
The things that decide whether a floor lasts, done on every job.
Brad pours it himself
No subcontractors. The person who quotes your floor is the person who grinds it and coats it.
Diamond-ground prep
Your slab is ground back to open concrete, which is what stops hot tire pickup lifting the coating.
Moisture test first
Moisture coming up through a slab is the usual reason a coating lifts, so we check before anyone talks about color.
Same-day quotes
Call or text and we'll come and look, weekends included. The quote is free and you'll have it the same day.
Lifetime product warranty
The coating is covered for life, so the risk of the product failing isn't yours.
Most floors in a day
Most residential floors are finished in a day, and you'll know your walk-on and park-on times before we start.
How your epoxy floor gets done, from first call to parking on it
Three steps, and Brad does every one of them himself. Most residential floors are finished in a day.

You call, text or send the form
Tell us the room and roughly how big it is. We'll talk you through the range and book a time to come and look, often the same day. Weekends count, and there's nothing to sign.

Brad reads your slab and you pick your finish
He checks for cracks, old coating and moisture, then measures up. You choose your flake blend or metallic against your own floor, not a brochure. Your written quote comes back the same day.
- 3
We grind it back and build your floor up
Your slab goes back to bare concrete under a diamond grinder with dust extraction. Then the primer, the body coat with your flake or metallic, and the top coat. You get your walk-on and park-on times with the quote.

my floors look amazing
Great experince did the shop floors and came out great!
excellent job on my Garage thanks again
You have the square footage, now what?
Send it to Brad with a photo of the slab and he will tell you what the job takes. There is nothing to sign for an estimate.

What size is a standard two-car garage?
Commonly around 20 by 22 feet, so roughly 440 square feet, but they vary a lot. Measure yours.
Does the size change the rate?
Yes. Our rate falls as your floor gets bigger. Brad works out where yours lands when he measures it.
Do I need to be exact?
No. Brad measures properly when he comes out. This is so you can budget before he does.
How long is my garage out of use?
More than a day and less than most people fear. It depends on the system and the temperature, and Brad tells you both dates when he quotes.
How do I measure my garage floor?
Length times width of your concrete, measured inside the walls. Split odd shapes into rectangles and add them.
Should I subtract the area under shelving?
No. Everything moves out and we coat the whole slab.
How big is a typical two-car garage?
Commonly around 20 by 20 to 22 by 24 feet, so roughly 400 to 530 square feet. Measure yours, because bump-outs and stair enclosures change it.
