Every job starts with diamond grinding — not a quick acid etch — so the coating bonds mechanically and won't peel a season later. Crack repair and moisture mitigation are handled as part of prep. ![Epoxy Garage Floor Coatings detail](/images/misc/before-photo-of-dusty-bare-garage-concrete-slab-wi.webp) ## Built for hot tires, chemicals, and Texas heat Most failed garage floors share the same backstory: a hardware-store epoxy kit, an acid etch in place of real prep, and a hot Texas summer. Within a year the coating lifts under tires, peels at the edges, and the homeowner is right back where they started. Our flake epoxy systems are different. We diamond-grind the slab to a real surface profile, fix cracks, mitigate moisture if the slab test calls for it, then install an industrial-grade flake broadcast with a polyaspartic topcoat on top. The result is a floor that resists hot-tire pickup, shrugs off oil and brake fluid, and stays put through summer after summer. ## Color blends and custom finishes Flake systems aren’t a single look. Choose a subtle gray-and-charcoal blend for a calm, modern garage, a high-contrast Texas-orange flake for a workshop with personality, or a custom mix to match your interior trim. The flakes also add slip resistance, which is a real upgrade if the garage doubles as a gym, workshop, or play space. ## Workshops, hobby garages, multi-car garages Whether it’s a single-bay garage in East Austin or a four-bay shop in Liberty Hill, the system scales. Larger floors get phased prep and broadcast so the install stays clean and the cure happens evenly. You can usually walk on the floor within 24 hours and park within 72. ### What you get - ✓ Full-broadcast flake systems with custom color blends - ✓ Diamond-grinding surface prep for a mechanical bond - ✓ Hot-tire-pickup and chemical resistance - ✓ Optional polyaspartic topcoat for faster cure and UV stability Real Work ## Project Gallery ![Before — dusty bare garage slab with stains](/images/misc/before-photo-of-dusty-bare-garage-concrete-slab-wi.webp) ![After — full-broadcast flake floor with custom color blend](/images/misc/after-photo-full-broadcast-flake-epoxy-garage-floo.webp) ![Close-up of flake broadcast chips in clear topcoat](/images/misc/close-up-of-flake-epoxy-broadcast-chips-suspended-.webp) ![Diamond-grinding prep with HEPA dust containment](/images/misc/diamond-grinder-prepping-garage-slab-with-hepa-dus.webp) ![Process detail during install](/images/misc/process-detail-during-install-showing-craftsmanshi.webp) What Customers Say ## Austin Customers on Their Finished Concrete ★★★★★ "Our 20-year-old garage slab had peeling DIY epoxy. They ground it all back, fixed the cracks, and the new flake floor still looks showroom-clean through two Texas summers." David R. Round Rock ★★★★★ "The pool deck stays cool enough to walk on barefoot in August now, and it's no longer slick. Exactly what we hoped for." Sarah M. Lakeway ★★★★★ "Polished our downstairs floors to a soft satin sheen. Easy to clean, and they clearly did the prep right. No shortcuts." Elena G. West Lake Hills FAQ ## Garage Coatings: Your Questions Answered How long does an epoxy garage floor last in Texas? + A properly prepped industrial flake-epoxy floor lasts 10 to 20 years in Texas. A polyaspartic topcoat extends that further by blocking UV and resisting heat. Why does DIY epoxy peel? + DIY kits are thin and rely on an acid etch that doesn't really profile the slab. Without diamond grinding the coating has nothing mechanical to grab, so hot tires and heat lift it off. Can you coat a stained or oily garage floor? + Yes — we degrease, then diamond-grind back to sound concrete before any coat goes down. Oil that's soaked deep gets sealed before primer. ## Related Services ### Polyaspartic Coatings Fast-curing, UV-stable polyaspartic and polyurea coatings.
