Choose by the space and its use
A home garage, pool surround and warehouse need different decisions. Compare the concrete, exposure, traffic and maintenance requirements before choosing a decorative finish. The written proposal should describe the complete system, not just the resin name.
Garage and residential concrete
- Garage floor coatings: parking, storage and workbench use.
- Residential concrete: utility spaces and compatible interior surfaces.
- Patio coatings: sunlight, runoff, furniture and outdoor use.
- Pool deck coatings: wet traction, cleaning and exterior suitability.
Commercial and industrial floors
Start with loaded traffic, cleaning, chemical exposure and available closure windows. Request product-specific suitability and a clear return-to-service plan.
Preparation and system choices
A coating needs sound, properly prepared concrete. The assessment should identify existing paint or sealer, contamination, weak surface material, cracks and moisture conditions. Mechanical preparation must produce the profile required by the chosen system. A coating is not a repair for structural movement, drainage or an unstable slab.
- Preparation and the coating process
- Concrete resurfacing and repair planning
- Polyaspartic system questions
- Decorative finish families
Specialized substrates need separate planning
Read deck substrate and waterproofing considerations or countertop coating questions before treating those surfaces as an ordinary floor project. Confirm specialist scope and compatibility before scheduling.
Compare the estimate
- Preparation method and removal of existing coatings.
- Crack, pitting and spalling repair scope, including limitations.
- Coating layers, decorative finish and traction requirements.
- Cure conditions and separate pedestrian, vehicle and chemical-exposure times.
- Cleaning instructions, exclusions and written warranty terms, if offered.
Use the existing garage cost guide to compare scope, not a flat price that ignores the slab.
Share the location, approximate floor area, existing surface and preferred finish. Request an estimate to discuss the preparation and coating options for your project.
