Our Process

We begin with a thorough on-site evaluation of your concrete surfaces. During this initial visit, our flooring specialists assess the condition of your concrete substrate, identify any existing issues such as cracks, moisture problems, or previous coatings, and discuss your aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. We take detailed measurements and note environmental factors that might influence the installation process. This is also when we present samples of our various coating systems—from full-flake epoxy to metallic finishes and polyaspartic options—helping you visualize the transformation possibilities for your specific space. Before leaving, we provide a detailed, transparent quote that outlines all costs, timeline expectations, and warranty information.

Surface preparation is the foundation of a successful concrete coating installation and receives our utmost attention. Our technicians begin by clearing the area completely, then employ industrial diamond grinding equipment to profile the concrete surface, creating the optimal mechanical bond for coating adhesion. This critical step removes existing sealers, paint, and surface contaminants while opening the concrete pores for maximum coating penetration. We meticulously repair cracks, spalls, and damaged joints using specialized epoxy fillers and patching compounds that match the structural integrity of your concrete slab. Edges and transitions receive particular attention to ensure a seamless final appearance. Finally, we thoroughly clean the prepared surface, removing all dust and debris before proceeding to the coating application.

With proper surface preparation complete, we apply a high-performance primer coat specifically formulated to penetrate deep into the concrete substrate. For areas with moisture concerns, particularly basements or ground-level slabs, we implement specialized moisture mitigation systems that prevent hydrostatic pressure from compromising your coating's adhesion. This base layer not only strengthens the concrete surface but also provides the foundation for the decorative elements to follow. Our technicians use advanced application techniques to ensure even coverage with no roller marks, bubbles, or inconsistencies. Depending on your chosen system, this layer may include color pigmentation that complements your selected decorative elements. We allow this critical base coat to cure properly, maintaining optimal environmental conditions throughout the process.

Once the base coat has properly cured, we apply the main body of your coating system, which typically includes the decorative elements that give your floor its distinctive appearance. For flake systems, our technicians broadcast vinyl color chips by hand to achieve either partial or full coverage based on your design preferences. Metallic epoxy floors receive specialized pigments and are manipulated with proprietary techniques to create distinctive marbled or flowing patterns. Quartz systems involve the precise application of colored quartz aggregates that provide both beauty and slip resistance. Throughout this phase, we protect surrounding areas from overspray and maintain strict control over temperature and humidity to ensure optimal curing conditions. This middle layer creates the depth, texture, and visual interest that distinguishes professionally installed concrete coatings from DIY alternatives.

The final phase of our process involves the application of a clear, protective topcoat that seals and preserves your new floor's beauty while providing the wear resistance and performance characteristics you expect. Depending on your specific requirements, we select from various formulations including polyaspartic, polyurethane, or high-performance epoxy sealers that offer the appropriate level of gloss, chemical resistance, and UV protection. For exterior applications or areas subject to extreme conditions, we incorporate additional protective elements such as enhanced UV stabilizers or anti-slip additives. After allowing the complete system to cure properly, our quality control manager conducts a thorough inspection, examining every square inch for consistency, appearance, and proper installation. Only after this rigorous final assessment do we consider the project complete and invite you for a walkthrough to review the transformation and receive care instructions for your new concrete coating system.
