Sweep or blow the grit out and mop with warm water. Grit is what abrades your top coat and it walks in on shoes.

Residential Epoxy Floors for Garages, Basements and Patios
Your house probably has two or three concrete floors nobody ever finished. We seal them so they stop dusting, wipe clean instead of staining, and look like part of the house again. Garages, basements, patios and countertops, all covered by a lifetime product warranty.

Residential Epoxy Coatings for Garages, Basements and Patios
The ones with bare concrete in them, which is usually more of your house than you would think.
The garage
Your garage is the most common job we do by a distance. We usually put flake down, because it hides a patched slab and grips when you bring a wet car in.
The basement
Sealing your slab stops the concrete dust and makes the room usable. We answer the moisture question first, with a free test rather than a guess.
The patio and pool surround
Outdoors, so we make your top coat UV stable and give the surface grip for wet bare feet.
Is Residential Epoxy Flooring Worth It?
It depends what your floor is doing now. Bare concrete sheds dust, stains permanently, and cannot really be cleaned.
What you get back
You get a sealed surface that mops, does not drink oil, and does not chalk dust over everything stored on it. In a basement that is often the difference between storage and a room.
What it is not
It is not a repair for a structurally bad slab. If your concrete is moving or badly failed, coating it puts a finish over a problem, and Brad will tell you so rather than take the job.

Which Rooms in a Connecticut House Get Coated Most
Housing here runs from 1920s shoreline colonials to post-war subdivisions to new builds, and what we coat tracks the age of your house more than its size.
Garages, by a distance
Around four in five owner-occupied homes across the towns we cover are detached houses, and almost all of those have a garage with a bare slab in it. It is our most common single job.
Basements, second and rising
Older Connecticut houses have full basements nobody meant to be rooms. Sealing your slab is usually the first move in making one usable, and it is cheaper before anything gets built on top.
Pool decks and patios
Seasonal work, and you book it in spring. Outdoors changes what we specify because of sun and bare feet rather than because of traffic.
Countertops and small pours
Kitchens, bars and workshop benches. Small enough that our minimum usually applies rather than the square foot rate.
What a Resin Floor Changes in a House, and What It Does Not
We would rather be clear about both, because the disappointments in this trade come from expecting the wrong thing.
It stops the dust
Bare concrete sheds fine grit constantly. That is why boxes in an uncoated basement always feel gritty and why your garage never quite seems clean.
It becomes cleanable
A sealed surface mops. Your bare concrete drinks oil, paint and whatever else lands on it, and keeps it.
It makes a room out of a slab
Visually this is the biggest change you will see. A finished floor stops the space reading as a foundation.
It is not insulation
A coating is a thin surface. Your cold basement stays a cold basement, and if warmth matters to you that is a subfloor question, not a coating one.
It is not a repair for a bad slab
Structural movement, active settlement or a slab breaking up are jobs for a different trade before us. Coating over them hides your problem for a season.
Living With It: Cleaning, Repairs and Resale
Low maintenance rather than no maintenance, and none of it needs a product bought from us.
Things that mark it
Dropped tools chip, hot tires mark a poorly cured floor, and welding spatter burns. We can repair all of it in place, which is a real advantage over tile.
Recoating rather than replacing
Your clear top coat is the sacrificial layer. When it eventually dulls we prepare and recoat it without touching the color underneath, at a fraction of the cost of a new floor.
At resale
A finished garage or basement floor photographs well and reads as a maintained house. It is one of the cheaper visible improvements you can make to a property.

Planning a Residential Floor Around Your House
The practical questions you are going to ask us.
Where everything goes
A two-car garage holds a remarkable amount. Emptying it is your job, and it is usually what delays a start date, so plan it before you book rather than after.
Access and power
Our grinding equipment needs a route in and a supply. Most domestic jobs run off your normal supply; larger machines sometimes do not, so we confirm it.
Pets and children
Off your floor during the work and through cure. Once cured it is an inert sealed surface, and the cure window is the part you plan around.
Smell
The systems we use are far lower odour than older ones, and there is still a smell while we apply them. Ventilation and timing handle it, particularly in your basement.
Doing More Than One Room at Once
Frequently better value for you, and rarely considered.
One mobilisation instead of two
Our setup, our equipment and our travel happen once. Your garage and your basement together cost less than the same two floors months apart.
Combined square footage may change the band
Two of your floors that each sit in the first rate band can together approach the second. Worth measuring before you assume.
Matching, or deliberately not
Your garage and your basement do not have to match, and often should not. The garage takes a busier blend and the basement can take something quieter.
Sequencing around the house
If you are finishing a basement, the floor comes first. If you are emptying a garage anyway for another reason, that is your moment.
What It Costs to Coat a House Floor
What decides the number, and how to get a real one.
What actually decides your number
The slab does, more than the square footage, which is why the estimate follows a look at it rather than a form.
Most domestic floors are in the first band
Your garage or your basement is normally under 3,000 square feet.
The minimum applies to small floors
Because your small floor carries the same setup for us as a large one.
Coatings we install
We install six systems, and most floors we put down combine two of them.
Flake
- Where it fits
- Garages and basements
- How it looks
- Vinyl chip broadcast into the body coat. Busier blends hide more of a working slab.
- Where we use it
- The garage floor we put down most.
Solid color
- Where it fits
- Workshops, warehouses, basements
- How it looks
- One flat color, sealed and cleanable.
- Where we use it
- Floors you need easy to clean, where we can add line marking.
Metallic
- Where it fits
- Attached garages, showrooms, countertops
- How it looks
- Pigment moved through the resin while it's wet, so no two floors come out the same.
- Where we use it
- Floors you look at as part of the house, which is where we get asked for it most.
Quartz
- Where it fits
- Commercial kitchens and wet areas
- How it looks
- Colored quartz aggregate for a hard, textured floor.
- Where we use it
- Floors where we have to meet a slip specification.
Polyaspartic
- Where it fits
- Top coat over any system, patios
- How it looks
- A UV-stable clear coat that cures in hours.
- Where we use it
- We use it for sunlight, cold weather and fast turnarounds.
Anti-slip
- Where it fits
- Pool decks, ramps, plant floors
- How it looks
- A coarse broadcast texture in the surface.
- Where we use it
- We put it where your floor gets wet or sits outdoors.
What's under your finished floor
We put down four layers, and each one has its own job. Scroll and we'll take your floor apart so you can see them.
- Polyaspartic top coatWe finish with a UV-stable, hard-wearing coat that takes your tires, your chemicals and the sunlight so the color underneath doesn't.
- Color and flake coatOur body coat carries your flake blend or metallic pour, so this is the layer you picked.
- Primer and moisture barrierWe work it into the opened concrete, and it locks everything above it to your slab.
- Concrete substrateYour slab. We diamond grind it back to bare concrete so everything we put on top has something to grip.
A DIY kit against a professional floor
They look alike on day one. Drag the timeline and watch what changes.
Day 1Year 1Year 3
- Day 1 Rolled onto a washed slab. It looks fine.
- Year 1 Hot tires lift it where it never bonded to the concrete.
- Year 3 Peeling and stained, and we have to grind the old coat off before anything new goes down.
- Day 1 We diamond grind your slab, then put down the primer, body coat and top coat.
- Year 1 We bond ours to opened concrete, so nothing lifts.
- Year 3 Yours wipes clean, and we back the coating with a lifetime product warranty.

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.

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.
Garage, basement and patio quoted together
One mobilisation, one crew, and the square foot rate starts working in your favour as the total area grows.
Get my free quoteQuestions people ask
Can you do just the garage?
Yes. Most of our residential jobs are a single room.
Will it crack where the slab is cracked?
A filled crack that is not moving stays filled. A crack that is still moving will eventually show, and we would rather tell you now than have you find out later.
How much mess is grinding?
Our grinder runs with dust extraction, so far less than you are expecting. It is still a work site for the day.
Is epoxy flooring worth it in a house?
It depends what your floor does now. Bare concrete sheds dust, stains permanently and cannot really be cleaned. We fix all three.
Can you do just one room?
Yes. Most residential jobs are a single garage or a single basement.
Is it safe around children and pets?
Once cured it is an inert, sealed surface with nothing to off-gas. Cure time is when to stay off it, and Brad tells you how long.
Does it add value to the house?
It is a visible, finished improvement to a space that usually reads as unfinished. What that is worth to you is a question for an agent rather than for us.
How much mess is the grinding?
Far less than you expect, because our grinder runs with vacuum extraction. It is still a work site for the day.
Can I put shelving and a car back straight away?
No. Walk-on comes first and drive-on later. Putting weight back early is the most common way people damage a new floor.
Should I coat my garage and basement at the same time?
Often better value for you. One mobilisation rather than two, and your combined square footage may fall into a lower rate band.
Is there a smell during installation?
The systems we use are much lower odour than older ones, and there is still a smell while we apply them. Ventilation and timing handle it.
