Not every job is a garage. A good deal of what we coat is simply concrete that needs to stop being bare: a shop floor, a mechanical room, a storage building, a landing, a pad beside the lane.
The problem is the same everywhere. Concrete is open and dusty. It absorbs whatever lands on it and it keeps shedding fine powder onto everything nearby. Sealing it deals with both at once.
Concrete varies far more than people expect, and old concrete varies most of all. A troweled slab has a dense closed skin that has to come off before anything will stick to it. An older slab may be soft at the surface, carry previous coatings, or still have adhesive on it from tile or carpet. And a slab poured low on this kind of ground may well be carrying vapour up from underneath.
So we grind a test patch and take a moisture reading before quoting, which means the number you get is priced against your actual floor rather than an average.
Something walked on indoors takes a straightforward sealed build in a solid colour. Anything carrying vehicles or point loads wants more thickness and a harder wear layer. A floor that gets washed down needs aggregate through the top coat for grip and coving up the wall so there is no joint holding water, and where there is chemical exposure the resin gets chosen against what is genuinely on the shelf, which is a conversation rather than a catalogue.
Cracks are cut out and filled properly rather than skimmed over, because a crack that has moved once will move again and a coating simply bridged across it splits. Spalled and pitted areas get rebuilt to level, and low spots that hold water are filled, since a coating follows the shape of whatever is underneath it and will never fix a bad fall on its own.
Tell us the size, what happens on it and what is on it now. Call +1 226-457-4250 and we will grind a patch, read the slab and quote against what we find.

A flake floor is three layers doing three different jobs. A pigmented resin base goes down first, coloured vinyl chip is thrown into it while it is still wet, and once that has hardened a clear wear coat is rolled over the whole thing.

A garage floor around here takes a beating that has very little to do with how carefully you park.

Polyaspartic is a different family of resin to epoxy, and it solves two problems epoxy has.

A basement is the easiest room in the house to coat and the easiest one to get wrong, and in Chatham-Kent it is moisture that decides which of the two you end up with.

A working floor is specified against three things: what rolls across it, how it gets cleaned, and when the building can afford to be shut. Everything else follows from those answers, which is why a retail unit, a warehouse, an equipment shop and a packing room all end up with different builds even though they start from the same materials.

An outdoor slab is not an indoor slab that happens to be outside. It has to handle daylight, standing water and a freeze-thaw cycle that runs all winter here, and it has a far shorter installation season. Use an indoor build outdoors and it will fail in the first spring.

Peeling. Bubbling. Patches lifting where the tyres sit. A clear coat gone yellow by the window, or a floor that has simply turned dull and chalky.

Metallic is the decorative end of what we do. Metallic pigment is dispersed through clear resin and then moved while it is still wet, so the finished floor ends up with depth and movement running through it and reads closer to polished stone than to a coating.
