Our garage floor coating process
- Free on-site quote. Call (404) 480-0962 or request one online. We measure the garage, check the slab for moisture and old coatings, and price the real job.
- Surface preparation. We diamond grind the slab to open the surface, strip any old kit coating or sealer, degrease oil spots, and patch pitting and cracks.
- Joint and crack treatment. Control joints and settlement cracks get filled with a flexible repair compound so they do not telegraph through the finish.
- Base coat and flake. We roll the pigmented base coat and broadcast vinyl flake into it to refusal, then scrape and vacuum the surface flat once it sets.
- Clear topcoat. A urethane or polyaspartic clear coat locks in the flake and takes the hot-tire and abrasion wear, then we walk the finished garage with you.
Lawrenceville garage floor coatings: common questions
How much does a garage floor coating cost in Lawrenceville?
Pricing depends on slab condition, square footage, and which system you choose, so we quote every Lawrenceville garage individually and for free. A sound two-car slab sits at the lower end of the range; oil saturation, pitting, cracks, or grinding off an old kit coating add prep time. Three-car and oversized garages price better per square foot, and bundling the garage with a basement or patio usually earns package pricing.
Will hot tires peel the coating off?
Not on a properly installed floor. Hot-tire pickup happens when a coating sits on top of a slab it never bonded to, which is what a big-box kit gives you after an acid etch. We diamond grind instead, so the coating anchors into open concrete, and we finish with a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat rated for hot-tire contact. Pull a car straight in off a summer run on I-85 and the floor stays put.
How long is the garage out of service?
Most Lawrenceville garages take two to three days on site. With a polyaspartic system you can usually walk on the floor the same evening and park on it after about 24 hours. A traditional epoxy build needs longer: foot traffic at 24 hours and vehicles after five to seven days of full cure. We tell you which system fits your timeline at the quote, and we can stage a two-bay garage one half at a time if emptying the whole thing at once is not practical.
Can you coat a stained twenty-year-old slab?
Usually, yes. Most of the garages we coat in Lawrenceville subdivisions are exactly that. Oil-soaked concrete gets degreased and ground back to clean substrate, pitting and spalled edges get patched, and control joints get filled. Where a slab has structural cracking or a moisture reading too high for a standard coating, we will say so at the quote and suggest a moisture-mitigating build instead. We would rather redirect you than install a floor that fails.
