Our garage floor coating process
- Free on-site quote. Call (404) 480-0962 or request one online. We measure your garage and check the slab in person, not from a photo.
- Diamond grinding. We grind the slab to open the surface, then vacuum away every trace of dust.
- Crack and spall repair. Cracks, pits, and spalling are filled and honed flush so nothing telegraphs through the coating.
- Base coat and finish coat. A high-solids epoxy base goes down, followed by flake broadcast or the metallic design coat.
- Topcoat and cure. A clear, hot-tire rated topcoat seals the floor. Walk on it in about a day, park on it in three.
Buford garage floor installation: common questions
What is a metallic epoxy garage floor?
Metallic epoxy uses reflective pigments swirled through the resin to create a deep, dimensional finish, closer to polished stone than paint. No two floors come out identical, which is the appeal. It is the most requested upgrade among Buford car enthusiasts who want the garage to feel like a private showroom, and it wears just as hard as a standard epoxy system.
Will a glossy showroom floor hold up to actual use?
Yes. The gloss comes from the clear topcoat, and that topcoat is the toughest layer in the system: rated for hot tires, jack stands, and automotive chemicals. Use jack pads under point loads like you would on any finished floor and it will shrug off years of wrenching. Gloss and durability are not a trade-off in a professional system.
How long does a garage floor installation take?
Most Buford garages are coated in one to two days, with metallic floors sometimes running an extra day for the design coat. Plan on light foot traffic after about 24 hours and vehicles after 72. If a car cannot leave the garage during the work, tell us at the quote and we will plan around it.
Will hot tires peel the new floor?
Not with a properly built system. Hot tire pickup is a failure of thin coatings on unprepared concrete. We diamond grind the slab, use a high-solids epoxy base, and seal it with a hot-tire rated topcoat. Georgia summers and sticky performance tires are exactly what that stack is designed for.
