Garage Floors (Epoxy & Coatings)
Transform your garage with durable epoxy coatings and professional concrete floor finishes.
Why Professional Garage Floor Coatings Matter
Your garage floor takes serious abuse. Cars drip oil and fluids. Tools drop and scrape the surface. You drag heavy equipment across it regularly. A bare concrete floor shows every stain and eventually deteriorates from all this punishment. Professional coatings transform your garage floor into a durable, attractive surface that handles everything you throw at it.
Epoxy coatings create a hard, chemical-resistant surface that protects your concrete and looks fantastic. The coating bonds directly to the concrete, sealing and strengthening the floor. Spills wipe up easily instead of soaking in. The surface resists stains, chemicals, and abrasion far better than bare concrete.
A coated floor also dramatically improves your garage's appearance. The glossy finish brightens the space and makes it feel cleaner and more finished. If you use your garage as a workshop, gym, or hobby space, a quality floor coating makes the environment more pleasant and functional.
Garage floor coatings also hide imperfections in older concrete. Minor cracks, stains, and surface damage disappear under the coating. You get a fresh, uniform appearance without replacing the entire floor.
Here in Stuart, FL, the humidity makes unsealed concrete floors prone to moisture issues and efflorescence. A proper coating system seals the floor and prevents these problems. Your garage stays drier and more comfortable year-round.
When you choose professional garage floor coating from Stuart Concrete Expert, you get showroom-quality results that protect your investment and make your garage a space you enjoy using.

Types of Garage Floor Coatings We Install
Several types of coatings work for garage floors, each with specific benefits. We help you choose the right system for your needs and budget. Here are the main options we offer to Stuart homeowners.
Epoxy coatings are our most popular choice for residential garages. True epoxy is a two-part system that chemically bonds to concrete. It creates an extremely hard, durable surface that resists chemicals, impacts, and abrasion. Epoxy is available in solid colors or with decorative chips that add visual interest and hide small imperfections.
The decorative chips come in many color combinations to match your style. You can choose subtle neutrals or bold, colorful blends. The chips also add slight texture that improves traction on the glossy surface.
Coating System Options
- •Standard epoxy: Solid color or with chip blend. Excellent durability and chemical resistance at moderate cost.
- •Polyaspartic topcoat: Added over epoxy base for maximum durability and UV resistance. Fast curing allows quicker return to service.
- •Metallic epoxy: Creates unique, flowing patterns for a high-end custom look. More expensive but stunning results.
- •Polyurea systems: Extremely fast-curing option for quick turnaround. Very tough and flexible.
- •Clear sealers: Basic protection for new concrete or budget-conscious projects. Does not offer the same durability as epoxy.
For most residential garages, we recommend a quality epoxy system with decorative chips and polyaspartic topcoat. This combination delivers excellent durability, great appearance, and reasonable cost. The polyaspartic topcoat adds UV protection so your floor will not yellow from sunlight coming through the garage door.
Commercial garages and high-traffic areas benefit from heavier-duty systems. We design coating specifications based on your expected use and traffic patterns.
Our Professional Installation Process
Proper surface preparation makes all the difference in coating performance. Shortcuts during prep cause most coating failures. We follow rigorous preparation steps to ensure your coating bonds permanently and performs as expected.
First, we thoroughly clean your garage floor. All oil, grease, and contaminants must be removed before coating. We use industrial degreasers and cleaning agents to eliminate anything that could interfere with adhesion.
Next, we mechanically prepare the surface. Diamond grinding opens the concrete pores and creates the profile needed for proper bonding. This step is critical and cannot be skipped. DIY kits that skip grinding almost always fail within a few years. We invest in professional equipment to do this right.
We repair any cracks or damaged areas before coating. Small cracks get filled with flexible filler. Larger damage may require patching with new concrete. The goal is a sound, uniform surface before we apply any coating.
Once prep is complete, we apply the epoxy base coat. This goes on thick and even across the entire floor. While the epoxy is still wet, we broadcast decorative chips if you have chosen that option. The chips embed in the epoxy and become part of the coating system.
After the base coat cures, we scrape off any loose chips and apply the topcoat. The topcoat seals everything and provides the final glossy finish. It also adds additional chemical and abrasion resistance. If you chose polyaspartic topcoat, this is when we apply it.
The entire process typically takes 2-3 days for a standard two-car garage. The floor is ready for light foot traffic after 24 hours. You can drive on it after 3-5 days, depending on which coating system we used. Full cure takes about a week.
We protect your garage and belongings during the work. Everything gets covered and we ensure proper ventilation. The process involves some fumes, but we time the work to minimize impact on your home.
Benefits of Coated Garage Floors and Simple Maintenance
A professionally coated garage floor delivers benefits beyond just appearance. Here is what you gain when you invest in quality garage floor coating.
Cleaning becomes incredibly easy. The sealed surface will not absorb oil, chemicals, or dirt. Spills wipe up quickly instead of staining. A quick sweep and occasional mopping keep your floor looking spotless. No more scrubbing old stains or dealing with concrete dust.
The floor becomes much brighter. The glossy finish reflects light throughout your garage. You will notice the difference immediately. Many homeowners say their garage feels like a different space once the floor is coated.
Durability improves dramatically over bare concrete. The coating protects against impacts, chemicals, and wear. Your floor will look good for many years with minimal maintenance. Quality epoxy systems last 10-20 years in typical residential garages.
For maintenance, simply sweep regularly to remove dirt and debris. Mop with mild soap and water when needed. That is really all it takes. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
Hot tire pickup is not usually a problem with quality epoxy systems. However, very hot tires on hot days can occasionally cause issues with some coatings. Using a mat where you park or letting your car sit a few minutes before parking can prevent this if you experience it.
If you damage the coating through extreme use or accidents, we can repair or recoat affected areas. Touch-ups are usually straightforward and blend well with the existing coating. This is another advantage of professional installation compared to DIY attempts that cannot be easily repaired.
If you have other concrete surfaces needing attention, we handle all types of concrete work. From new driveways to concrete repairs, we deliver the same quality and professionalism for every project.
