The Ultimate Upgrade for Your Garage Floor

Your garage is more than just a place to park your car. It’s the actual entrance to your home, a workshop for your projects, a storage space for your family’s treasures, and a launchpad for your daily life. We believe a space this important deserves a floor that is both durable and functional, and looks incredible. If you're tired of looking at stained, cracked, and dusty concrete, you’ve come to the right place.

At Floortek, we specialize in transforming your garage with a high-performance coating system designed to last. Our system, unlike standard options, is engineered to provide a beautiful, resilient garage floor that withstands the demands of your busy life. We are proud to serve homeowners across Florida, Alabama, Detroit, and the nearby areas, offering a solution that standard options cannot match.

For years, homeowners have been told that epoxy paint is the only way to cover a concrete floor. You may have even tried a DIY kit yourself, only to be disappointed when it started to peel and stain within a year. We’re here to show you a much better way.

Our advanced system is engineered to provide you with a beautiful, resilient garage floor that withstands the demands of your busy life. And the best part? We can complete the entire transformation in just one day, giving you a reason to be excited about the change.

The Common Struggles with a Standard Garage Floor

If you have a typical garage, you're likely familiar with the constant battle against dusty, porous concrete. Bare concrete acts like a sponge, soaking up every drop of oil, every spilled chemical, and every muddy track from your car tires. Over time, it becomes permanently stained and becomes impossible to clean thoroughly. You might notice fine, powdery dust that gets tracked into your home, no matter how often you sweep. This is a result of the concrete surface slowly breaking down. We understand the frustration, and we're here to offer a solution that will bring you relief.

The climate you live in also plays a huge role. In humid environments like those in Stuart, Florida, moisture can seep up through the concrete slab, creating dampness and affecting any items stored in the garage. In places like Detroit, the brutal freeze-thaw cycles and corrosive road salt brought in during winter can cause the concrete to crack, spall, and pit. The surface weakens, creating tripping hazards and further entry points for moisture and chemicals.

Faced with these issues, many homeowners turn to what appears to be an easy solution: epoxy paint. You’ve seen the kits in big-box stores promising a showroom finish. Unfortunately, this solution often creates more problems than it solves. Most epoxy coatings are essentially a thick paint. They make a brittle, rigid layer on top of your concrete that isn't designed to withstand the realities of a functional garage.

One of the most common complaints we hear from new customers is about "hot-tire pickup." When you drive your car, the tires heat up. When you park on an epoxy-coated floor, that heat can soften the coating. As the tires cool, they bond with the epoxy, and the next time you back out, a piece of the coating peels off with the tire. Soon, your floor is covered in unsightly bare patches.

Another major issue, especially in sunny states, is UV degradation. Standard epoxy is not stable in sunlight and will begin to yellow and look chalky over time, ruining the appearance of your garage. The debate between epoxy and polyurea is one we are familiar with, and our experience has shown us that there is a clear winner for homeowners seeking a permanent solution.

A Better Foundation for Your Garage: The Floortek Polyurea & Polyaspartic System

At Floortek, we knew there had to be a better way. We moved beyond outdated epoxy technology to provide a modern, industrial-grade coating system using pure polyurea and polyaspartic materials. This isn't paint; it's a chemically bonded, multi-layer system that becomes a part of your concrete, making it stronger and more resilient. Our system, which is 10 times more durable, flexible, and long-lasting than epoxy, is a testament to the superior properties of polyurea and polyaspartic materials.

So, what makes it so different? It starts with the materials. Our polyurea basecoat has incredible flexibility and adhesion properties. While rigid epoxy will crack or peel when the concrete underneath naturally expands and contracts with temperature changes, our polyurea basecoat flexes with the concrete. This prevents the peeling and delamination that plague epoxy floors. It creates a bond so strong that it’s warranted for the life of your home.

The visual appeal of your garage floor comes from the next layer. We broadcast a layer of decorative vinyl flakes across the entire wet basecoat until the surface is completely covered. This process not only creates a beautiful, textured look but also adds dimension to the floor. You can explore our wide range of colors and finishes to find the perfect match for your home's style. Whether you prefer a range of colors, a classic granite look, or something more modern, we have the Colors and Flake options to bring your vision to life.

The final, crucial step is our polyaspartic clear topcoat. This is the shield that protects your floor from the world. Polyaspartic chemistry offers some significant advantages over epoxy. It is 100% UV stable, so it will never yellow or fade, even if your garage door is open all day long. It cures to a tough, dense finish that is non-porous and highly resistant to stains from oil, gasoline, and other automotive fluids.

Spills wipe away without a trace. The primary difference between polyaspartic and epoxy floor coatings is most evident in their durability and chemical resistance. Our Coating Products are all Lab-Formulated for Durability, ensuring you get a floor that performs as well as it looks. This superior technology enables us to offer a proper one-day coating solution for your home.

Our Meticulous Process for a Perfect Garage Floor

The quality of a floor coating is determined just as much by the preparation as it is by the products used. A cheap coating applied over a poorly prepared surface is guaranteed to fail. Our certified installation teams follow a rigorous, multi-step process to ensure your new garage floor is flawless and permanent. This commitment to preparation, along with the use of high-quality materials, enables us to offer one-day floor coatings that are not only quick but also long-lasting.

It all begins with preparing your concrete. We don't use harmful acid etching, which can damage the concrete and provide an inconsistent surface profile. Instead, we use industrial-grade diamond grinders to abrade the entire floor mechanically. This process removes any previous failed coatings, sealers, and surface contaminants. More importantly, it opens up the pores of the concrete, creating a textured profile that our polyurea basecoat can penetrate deeply and bond to permanently. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, proper surface preparation is a critical step in ensuring the longevity of any coating system and minimizing potential failures.

Once the surface is prepared, our team meticulously repairs any damage to your concrete. We fill all cracks, pits, and areas of spalling with a specialized mender that is stronger than the concrete itself. We then grind these repairs smooth, creating a seamless, uniform surface for the coating application. This step is essential for achieving a perfect final look and ensuring the structural integrity of your garage floor.

With the concrete perfectly prepared, we apply our tinted polyurea basecoat. This layer wicks deep into the concrete, creating that unbreakable bond. While the basecoat is still wet, we broadcast your chosen blend of vinyl flakes across the entire floor, ensuring complete coverage for a consistent appearance. After a short curing period, we scrape the floor to remove any excess vertical flakes, resulting in a smooth, textured surface.

The final step is to roll on our crystal-clear, non-yellowing polyaspartic topcoat. This topcoat encapsulates the flakes and provides a durable, easy-to-clean surface that will protect your garage floor for decades to come. The rapid curing properties of our materials are what make an 11-day garage floor possible. You can walk on your new floor in just 24 hours and park your car on it shortly after.
