Why You Need a Professional Garage Resurfacing Company

Finding a reliable garage resurfacing company is the most crucial step to protecting your home's concrete. For years, you’ve probably heard one word associated with this: epoxy. We at Floortek Coatings are here to tell you that epoxy is old news, and, frankly, it fails. If you have a stained, dusty, or cracked garage floor, you don't need a temporary fix. You need a real, permanent solution.

Your garage is more than just a place to park. It’s the true front door to your home, a workshop, a gym, or a storage area. It deserves the same level of protection and quality as the rest of your house. As a homeowner in the United States, you need a floor that can handle everything from hot, humid summers to icy, salty winters.

This guide explains why our advanced polyaspartic coating system is the solution you’ve been looking for. It’s 10X better than epoxy, can be installed in just one day, and will last for the life of your home.

We’re so confident you’ll love the difference that we’re offering a 30% Off promotion on your first installation. Read on to learn what other installers won't tell you, and when you're ready, ask us for a Free Quote.

The Real Problem with Your Bare Concrete Floor

Before you can choose a solution, you need to understand the problem. That bare concrete slab in your garage might look tough, but it's actually porous, like a hard sponge.

It soaks up everything: oil, antifreeze, road salts, and dirt. This leads to deep, ugly stains that you can never scrub out. Over time, that concrete also creates "dusting"—that fine, white powder you're constantly sweeping up, which then gets tracked into your home.

More importantly, concrete is vulnerable to the climate. In northern states, the road salt and de-icing brines you bring in on your tires attack the concrete, causing it to pit and spall (flake apart). In southern, more humid states, porous concrete can trap moisture, leading to musty smells.

According to the U.S. General Services Administration, unsealed concrete is highly susceptible to "deterioration" from chemicals and abrasion. Your garage floor is fighting a losing battle, and a simple coat of paint or sealer from a big-box store won't fix it. You need a garage resurfacing professional.

The "Epoxy" Myth: Why That "Solution" Fails Homeowners

For decades, epoxy was the standard answer. It was the only option most people knew, and many contractors still push it because it’s a familiar product.

But here is the truth: epoxy is a significant point of failure. As a leading garage resurfacing company, we spend considerable time grinding up old, failed epoxy floors installed just a few years ago by other companies.

Epoxy has several critical flaws that make it a poor choice for any active garage in the United States.

Failure 1: Hot Tire Pickup

This is the number one complaint we hear. You drive your car on a hot day, and your tires get warm. You pull into your garage, and that heat and pressure soften the epoxy coating. The next morning, when you back out, the epoxy sticks to your tires and peels right off the floor, leaving ugly, bare spots. This is a chemical failure. Epoxy is a rigid plastic, and it simply can't handle the heat and friction.

Failure 2: Peeling, Chipping, and Flaking

Epoxy doesn't bond with the concrete; it just sits on top of it like a hard shell. Because it's so rigid, it doesn't have the flexibility to move with the concrete as it expands and contracts with temperature changes. This stress, combined with moisture vapor pushing up from the slab, causes the epoxy to delaminate, bubble, and peel away. A professional garage floor coating should never do this.

Failure 3: Yellowing from Sunlight

Most epoxy coatings are not UV stable. This means any part of your floor that gets direct sunlight—like the area near your garage door or windows—will turn a sickly yellow or amber color over time. It makes a beautiful new floor look old and dirty within a couple of years.

Failure 4: The Long, Inconvenient Wait

A typical epoxy installation is a multi-day headache. It can take three, five, or even seven days for the coating to cure before you can fully park your car on it. That’s a week of leaving your vehicles in the driveway and having your garage—and your life—completely disrupted by chemical fumes.

Homeowners deserve better. You shouldn't have to pay for a "solution" that is guaranteed to fail.

Our Polyaspartic System: The Real, 1-Day Solution

This is where we changed the game. We are a garage resurfacing company that has moved past old-fashioned epoxy. We use an advanced polyaspartic and polyurea coating system.

What is it? Polyaspartic coatings are a form of polyurea, a cutting-edge polymer initially developed for heavy industrial applications such as coating bridges and protecting waste-treatment plants. It’s an incredibly durable, flexible, and fast-curing material. We’ve adapted this industrial-strength technology for your home.

It is, in every measurable way, superior to epoxy. Here’s why it’s the only system our garage resurfacing company will ever install.

Benefit 1: True 1 Day Garage Floor Coatings

This is not a slogan; it's a promise. Our trained, certified crews will install your entire floor—from grinding to top coat—in a single day. The technology in our coatings allows them to cure rapidly. You can walk on your new floor in just 4-6 hours and park your cars on it the very next day. You get your garage back immediately.

Benefit 2: A Permanent Bond (No Hot Tire Pickup)

Our polyurea base coat is designed to wick deep into the concrete, not just sit on top. It molecularly bonds with the concrete itself, becoming a permanent part of the slab. This bond is 3-4 times stronger than epoxy. The result? No hot tire pickup. No peeling. No flaking. Ever.

Benefit 3: Stays Clear and Won't Yellow. Guaranteed.

Our polyaspartic top coat is 100% UV stable. This means it will never, ever yellow or fade from sun exposure. The color you pick today is the color it will stay for decades. It keeps that "brand new" look for the life of your home.

Benefit 4: Flexibility for All Climates

Remember how epoxy is rigid and cracks under pressure? Our polyaspartic system is 98% more flexible. This is a massive advantage. It allows the coating to expand and contract right along with your concrete slab during the most extreme temperature swings. From the freezing Midwest winters to the blazing Arizona summers, our floors won't chip, crack, or delaminate.

This is what concrete coating is meant to be: a permanent, flexible shield. You can see all of Our Coating Products and how they are designed to protect your investment.

What to Expect from Our Garage Resurfacing Company: The Floortek Process

A great product is useless without a great process. What sets us apart as a professional garage resurfacing company is our commitment to doing the job right, with no shortcuts.

Our installation is a precise, multi-step system.

Step 1: Diamond Grinding Preparation

This is the most critical step and one that cheap installers skip. We will never use "acid etching" to prep your floor. We use industrial-grade diamond grinders to profile the entire concrete surface mechanically. This removes the weak top layer and opens up the pores, ensuring our base coat gets that deep, permanent bond we talked about.

Step 2: Concrete Mending and Repair

Our team then repairs all visible cracks, pits, and spalling. We use an industrial-strength, fast-curing mender that rebuilds the damaged areas, making them even stronger than the original concrete. We don't just cover up problems; we fix them.

Step 3: Apply the Polyurea Base Coat

Once the floor is perfectly prepped and repaired, we apply our tinted polyurea base coat. This is the coat that wicks deep into the concrete, creating that unbreakable bond.

Step 4: Full-Broadcast Flake

While the base coat is still wet, we broadcast your chosen decorative flakes until the floor is 100% covered. This "full-broadcast" method is key. It's what gives your floor its deep, granite-like appearance and its strength. We have a vast variety of Colors and Flake Options to match your home perfectly.

Step 5: Scrape, Vacuum, and Top Coat

After the base coat cures, we scrape the floor to remove any excess flakes, creating a smooth, uniform texture. We then vacuum the entire surface for an immaculate finish. Finally, we roll on the clear, UV-stable polyaspartic top coat. This final layer locks everything in and provides that signature shine and chemical resistance.

That's it. In one day, you have a brand-new floor, and our garage resurfacing company is cleaned up and gone, leaving you with nothing but a beautiful, durable space.

Your Garage Resurfacing Company Questions, Answered

We get a lot of questions from homeowners. Here are the answers to the most common ones.

1. What makes a good garage resurfacing company?

A great garage resurfacing company, like Floortek, will always use mechanical diamond grinding to prep the floor, not acid. They should offer a modern material like polyaspartic, not just epoxy, and back it with a strong "Life-of-home warranty."

2. How long does garage resurfacing take?

While old epoxy methods can take up to a week, our polyaspartic system is different. Our garage resurfacing company completes the entire installation in just one day, and you can park on it the very next day.

3. Is the new floor hard to clean?

No, it's the easiest floor you will ever clean. Because our system is non-porous, liquids and chemicals don't soak in. Oil, dirt, and even salt brine wipe away with a simple mop or squeegee, leaving your floor looking brand new.

4. Will my floor be slippery?

Our full-flake broadcast system gives the floor a light, orange-peel-like texture. This provides far more traction than bare concrete or a smooth, high-gloss epoxy finish. We can also add traction additives to the top coat for extra grip.

5. What is the difference between polyurea and polyaspartic?

This is an excellent question for a garage resurfacing company. Think of "polyurea" as the strong base of the system and "polyaspartic" as the advanced top coat. A polyaspartic is a specific type of polyurea that has been modified to be UV stable (it won't yellow) and to give a beautiful, high-gloss finish. We use both to create the ultimate floor.

6. Can you resurface my concrete if it's badly cracked?

Yes. Resurfacing a garage floor is our specialty. Our team is trained to repair cracks, pitting, and spalling as part of our standard process. We repair the damaged areas before applying our coating, making the floor whole again.

7. Why is your system better than epoxy?

Our polyaspartic system is 10X better than epoxy because it's 3-4x stronger, 98% more flexible (so it won't crack), 100% UV stable (so it won't yellow), and can be installed in one day, not one week. It simply doesn't have any of the failures that plague epoxy.

8. Can this be installed in the winter (or summer)?

Yes. Another failure of epoxy is its sensitivity to temperature and humidity. Our advanced system can be installed in temperatures from -20°F to over 130°F. We are a garage resurfacing company that can work year-round, regardless of the climate.

9. Do I have to empty my garage?

Yes, the floor must be apparent for us to perform our grinding and coating process. Many customers use this as an excellent opportunity to declutter, or they use a temporary storage pod.

10. How do I get a quote from your garage resurfacing company?

That's the easiest part! You can call us or fill out our online form. We will schedule a time to come to your home, measure your space, show you samples, and provide you with a free, detailed, all-inclusive quote.
